Book Stores in Encinitas, CA

“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!”

“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.”

“Excellent shopping experience again. Clerk determined via the inventory management system that some titles by Ehrenreich weren't available but that's okay. Found three books I had on my list...”

“I had used books and read on their Friends of Encinitas Library website donations were welcome! The wonderful ladies took the time to talk with me and let me know what items they could resell. I was so elated to hear and see the community, kids and adults, still reading old paperbacks. The selection of books are bountiful and the cost is very reasonable. Please support your community. Every penny goes back to the city!”

“We could not get enough of this little corner shop. There are so many stones, crystals, books, and pieces of jewelry. This is a bright, fragrant, and alluring place and must visit for your metaphysical needs.”

“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”
