Businesses like this are what make Greenpoint so special. Archestratus is a rare gem that brings community together and creates an authentic place to shop, eat and hang in the neighborhood. I always pop in when I need a special gift for a friend or some fresh groceries for home. Paige is so sweet and creative and puts a lot of love into the space.

As a chef, this is one of my favorite book stores! Everything ranging from historical to contemporary food writing, don't forget to load up on the tinned fish and fresh bread!

Archestratus is the coolest little food-themed bookstore, grocery shop, and cafe all in one that hosts amazing community events! It's such a special and unique place that's great for any bookworm or foodie.

Owner is horribly nasty & abrasive, unnecessarily as I was polite and merely asked a question. It’s quite shocking someone running a small local business - one where we have been good and repeated customers - treats people this way. They just lost a customer as a result …

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.

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 !

simply the best place in the world!!! you need a cookbook? a card? a beautiful gift for a close or distant friend? archestratus will fill your heart, body, mind, spirit, soul, and a bit of time on this mortal plane. come back again and again - it is always evolving and so are we.there is a fruit juice that comes in small bottles that’s imported directly from italy that is the best fruit juice you will ever have. it’s expensive. it’s worth it. save the bottle and drink iced coffee, white wine, sake out of it. remember that we are all part of a community and thank places like this for existing.

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”.
