Archestratus Books Foods

Archestratus is more than the greatest food book store and grocery in the city. Under Paige Lipari’s loving tutelage, this shop is chock full of magic, community, love, and humor. The sandwiches will brighten any day. And the juices, the produce, the greeting cards. The books! Even the music playing in the shop will vibe you into bliss. Archestratus is a model for a community-first shop that others can try to copy (see: Big Night) but none can come close. Thank you for always being there, Archestratus !

Staff was knowledgeable and very kind, selection was brilliant

A shop packed with wonderful stuff. best place to buy gifts for people who enjoy eating or thinking about eating

Been coming here for years. Wonderful people, food, books. Adorable wares. Vibes. Quirky and fun. Everything you could want in a Brooklyn cookbook store plus “magick”.

Cool place but they closed their regular book section, so now you can only get cook books. This wouldn’t be an issue normally since they’ve also got food and other things, but since they didn’t have a toaster for the sandwich I got, I can only in good conscience rate 4/5. Toaster could push them up a rating.
