Author-Owned Latine-Owned Woman-Owned

Don’t all communities deserve a café? El Taller is Lawrence’s Independent Bookstore & Café! Born in 2012, El Taller is guided by its name - “the workshop,” it is a cafe and bookstore but it acts like a studio or workshop for the community at large. It is a place to hang out, read books, write, join discussions, meet with friends and enjoy good food.
