Baldwin & Co. Bookstore is one of my favorite bookstores. It is locally owned in the Gentilly area next to the infamous former Gene’s po boys. The bookstore not only has books. It also has a podcast studio, private/public event space, space for reading, merch and of course great coffee and food. I love the ‘If Beal Street Can Talk’ coffee. They also have super fresh and delicious croissants...
