“Florencia Agrazo and Carola Mandelbaum, co-owners of Flor. Books”
From a press release:
“Flor. Coffee + Books, the Buenos Aires–inspired café and bookstore that opened in Georgetown in August, is relaunching its upstairs bookshop, Flor. Books, this week, with a refreshed selection and new programming shaped by customer feedback.
Co-owned by Florencia Agrazo (Flor. Coffee) and Carola Mandelbaum, who curates the shop and leads events, Flor. Books is “designed for discovery and connection,” according to Mandelbaum. The shelves highlight contemporary literature, standout international and Spanish-language titles, and writers whose work crosses cultures—from atmospheric fiction and inventive narratives to timely nonfiction and bilingual books for young readers. Guests will also find limited-edition classics and thoughtfully chosen gifts.
“We built Flor. Books as a place where people can lose themselves in stories from around the world,” said co-owner and curator Carola Mandelbaum. “We want every visit to offer something new to discover, share, or take home.”
Events
Flor. Books will host public events and workshops several times each month. The first, a gratitude workshop led by co-owner Florencia Agrazo, who is also an international gratitude journal author, will take place on December 17 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
