Tianti Books

“This seems like a great place to work as it is very quiet (it's a bookstore) and there's tons of outlets (there's even USB ports).”

“Arrived with frozen hands in spite of my smartphone-friendly Uniqlo gloves, and savored a cup of Moroccan mint tea, a chocolate muffin, and a novel I brought (The Other Me by Saskia Sarginson).”

“If you're looking for a truly peaceful place in the city (especially in winter, when Central Parks gets a bit too unbearable for "peace") try this little bookstore.”

  1. By far one of the most peaceful, quiet and spacious space in NYC. The staff is extremely kind and the coffee and teas served here are solid. The wifi is by far the fastest and most reliable connection I have had in a cafe. The bathroom is super clean, alike the rest of the bookstore/cafe. Food might be a bit limited here, but who really comes here to eat?

    A 16oz French Pressed Coffee is $3 and a pot of tea for 2 range around $11 (depending on the type of tea you select).

    This is the best place to concentrate and get some serious thinking, reading or work done!

  2. If you're looking for a truly peaceful place in the city (especially in winter, when Central Parks gets a bit too unbearable for "peace") try this little bookstore. The main books are related to Falun Dafa, but you can also come and get some work done in their coffee shop area with a view on 30th street.
    The decor is peaceful and it's very quiet. Try their tea for a change, it's very nice.

  3. Perfect cappuccino, elegantly presented, in a calm, spacious, pretty room.  And they greeted me as if I was a long-lost friend.  Lovely!

  4. A veritable oasis. I made the pilgrimage on foot from 60 blocks and a couple of avenues away. Arrived with frozen hands in spite of my smartphone-friendly Uniqlo gloves, and savored a cup of Moroccan mint tea, a chocolate muffin, and a novel I brought (The Other Me by Saskia Sarginson). Great place to read or write or meditate. Felt very comfortable, and the people here are genuinely kind.
