Quiet Reading Club Meetup at ROAST & C.R.E.A.M!
Our September Meetup will be hosted at one of our favorite neighborhood spots:
in Union City on Thursday, September 24th from 6:30–8:30 PM.
Roast & C.R.E.A.M. is a beloved partner of Quiet Reading Club, and one of our longest-running locations. Built from a vision of community, culture, and positive impact, Roast & C.R.E.A.M. is a family run gathering space inspired by Hip Hop and rooted in connection. A perfect home to slow down, read, and connect with fellow book lovers. Enjoy a welcoming atmosphere while savoring meticulously roasted coffee, refreshing drinks, or small bites.
Menu highlights include signature drinks like Rapper’s Delight, Cuban Link, and the Viral Matcha Latte, as well as refreshing options like A Milli, Feeling Fresh, and more. Hungry? Grab sandwiches, mini chicken & waffles, or chicken fingers while you settle in with your book.
Quiet Reading Club is simple: bring whatever you’re reading (a novel, memoir, poetry, or graphic novel—anything goes!), order a drink or bite, and enjoy a couple of hours of calm, cozy reading time in community.
Here’s the vibe:
📚 Bring your current read or something new

🕯️ Unwind, read quietly, and recharge
🗨️ Stick around to swap book recs or chat with fellow readers
