New Orleans, United States
Why it’s on the route
Baldwin & Co. is a coffee shop and independent bookstore in the Marigny, opened in 2021 by DJ Johnson, who grew up a few blocks away, and named for James Baldwin. The shelves lean toward Black and BIPOC authors and Southern themes, and the espresso menu borrows Baldwin titles, such as Notes of a Native Son (espresso, milk, honey). The shop hosts readings and author talks, and Johnson's foundation donates books to local kids.
