Stories and community, celebrated

Cafe con Libros is more than a bookstore — it’s a vibrant community rooted in the love of stories and social justice. Since day one, this Afro-Latinx-owned bookshop and café has championed voices from the margins, curating shelves with powerful works by women, queer, and authors of color. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, inviting you to linger over a latte, dive into a new read, and connect with ideas that inspire change. That’s what makes gifting with On Me so meaningful: you’re not just sending a gift card. You’re sharing access to a movement — and giving your recipient the freedom to discover books and experiences that honor every story.
