“Super close to home, always come here after a trip to the meditation gardens, their $2 incense(15 sticks in the box + it is hand made in India!) is totally worth it. Get the frankincense + sandalwood scents. I use them when I meditate/ rituals. They make great sandalwood prayer beads as well. Although I got them for like 40 bucks since the price of sandalwood has increased over time. AND they have free vintage SRF magazines from the 70s- early 2000s in a basket by the exit!”
“Just went in here once so far but I was very impressed by the curation of the children's book area as a mom. I will definitely be back with open wallets and hoping I don't go too broke buying all the goodies. Beautiful shop!”
“Great store. The place is nice and clean (like all Barnes & Noble), staff were extremely helpful and friendly. I can't wait to go back and get more books.”
“What an incredible hidden gem! Amazing selection of books, at such low prices. The volunteers are so sweet and helpful… I was so thankful to have Becky and Roberta helping me as I needed A LOT of books to fill my library and they were so kind. I love this place so much, I’ll be in here perusing their collection every moment I can!”

“Incredibly helpful owner who was knowledgeable and informed with local literary information and events. Was aware of what was on the shelves, even if some things ended up behind others, due to the nature of the shelving being used.Clean, about as well laid out as can be, engaged, and outgoing. Would definitely recommend coming in and would happily return if we're even remotely nearby.”
“Ocean views at the Encinitas library make this one of the coolest libraries in San Diego! Friends of the Encinitas library run the bookstore and organized and event for local authors inviting the community with to read what their author next door has been up to! Check out the Karma Cats written by Kathleen Kastner. One of the best children's books I've seen!”
“There are too many T-shirt options. The Nike workout gear is very eye-catching, but how are college kids supposed to afford $64 for a zip-up wind breaker? They should also have a think of adding a yoga pant section instead of only offering too short shorts or baggy sweat pants.”
“My boys were there for their 4 West Coast Wrestling Camp. Absolutely hands-down one of the best Wrestling camps in the nation !! They both participated in the 10 day with Mark Munoz. They had 2 divisions 1 coach’s show up ,NCAA champs , all Americans and world Olympic medalist coach.”

“This is one of those Goodwill stores that's mostly a bookstore. They do sell some other items like clothes, accessories, and knick knacks, but just a few select items and priced higher. Book selection is decent and well organized.”
“If you’re looking for an easygoing place to buy school supplies, merchandise, (text)books, and everything in between at UCSD, this is it. Almost everything is overpriced, albeit a public university, but the quality of products like notebooks and lanyards and the quality of service for Apple products and beyond are outstanding. Wait times aren’t very long unless you’re ordering something in person that could’ve been done online, and payment options are standard. It’s also located near Price Center, so that’s a plus. Solid bookstore.”
“I went in looking for textbooks and 2 staff members made sure I left the store knowing exactly how to access them. They waited beside me while I checked my requirements online and walked me through options along with their pros and cons. I wasn't expecting such excellent customer service. Keep it up!”
“Very nice and clean place. Everything is very well organized. The employees are all very friendly and know the books. They have books displayed that you can browse through to find what you or your kids are looking for.”

“Early this morning, I started a job where it requires very tough labor doing demolition on a patio deck. I was dispatched to go to another job where I would need to be dressed, appropriate for an interior design store, and help out moving and delivering items.. since it was short notice, I was drenched in sweat, jeans, dirty, and in construction steel toe boots. I had a couple of options to go to Walmart or target to find a new set of clothes but instead I stop by the local Goodwill store and within five minutes I was able to find a shirt some shorts and shoes off for under $35. I let the staff know my situation, and her name was Liz and Liz asked if I had a place to change. I told her I did not, and she let me use the restroom to change into my new outfit. She welcomed me with smiles and helped my day go by 10 times smooth then it would have. I applaud her customer service and hope everyone gets to experience her attitude and personality... Liz even took a picture of me so that I can share this with you guys. I went in with a problem and left with a new outfit and a solution to the first curveball of my day, thank you Liz, for being an awesome associate and thank you goodwill for being so close and so available”
“Don't let the small space fool you. This place was such a gem. Friendly staff and great deals. The books were so well organized and priced well. We will be back!”
