About this place Red Emma's

Red Emma's is a worker-owned bookstore, coffee shop, vegan cafe and events space at 3128 Greenmount Avenue in Waverly. It moved here from Mount Vernon in 2020. The shelves lean towards radical politics, Black and queer writing, and the events calendar regularly includes trans and queer groups, such as a 2026 pen-pal project for incarcerated trans Marylanders. Google lists it Tuesday to Saturday 9am to 8pm and Sunday 10am to 4pm, closed Monday, with 4.5 from about 1,540 reviews. It's a good daytime stop, and check its events page for queer talks and meetups.
