Shops in Brooklyn Heights

The Brooklyn Heights branch of the Cobble Hill bookstore, opened on Montague in 2022 in a wide storefront with a children's section at the back. Staff shelf-talkers are handwritten and the front table turns over weekly. It runs author events most weeks, so check the calendar before you plan to browse quietly.

Wade Sahadi moved the family shop to Atlantic Avenue in 1948 and the counter system has barely changed since. You take a ticket for olives and cheese. Prepared food is at the same counter, with the bulk bins of nuts, dried fruit, spices and coffee run the length of the store. There is a saj counter making flatbread to order at the back. It is the anchor of the Atlantic Avenue Middle Eastern strip and the reason the rest of it is still there.
