“This attractive bookstore has lots of gifts and souvenirs galore! Alya was most helpful as she wrapped my gift with precision and care. Visiting from Florida this is a place that you have to come in and enjoy your purchases at reasonable prices.”
“Very cool spot to stop in for some live music, a cold beer, and a tasty snack. The store has some interesting items and good prices. Awesome little homemade bakery too!”
“This is a wonderful spot to get a child's gift. The young lady who helped us was phenomenal. She was sweet kind and patient. They have an awesome selection.”
“Great mom and pop book shop selling books on Asian American history and culture. They also sell koinobori (carp for Japanese Children’s Day), chopsticks, origami paper. There are only two stores like this in the Bay Area, the other one being Eastwind Books in Berkeley. Volunteer run.”

“Beautifully full of books from a variety of topics. As a bibliophile you can peruse without interference. Every book is priced, so no surprises there. My go-to bookstore when I want something to make me happy
!”
“Really great and popular library! Nice high atmosphere for both quiet study spaces and conversational areas for tutoring or wfh spaces.Bathrooms pretty clean for a public library”
“I could spend all day in this Barnes & Noble. I love the sections that I'm interested in: Business, Self Study, Sports, Current Events, Study Aids. Great books for myself and for giving as gifts to friends and my old high school. The staff are friendly and courteous.”
“Great little local bookstore. They may be a bit more expensive than box stores or Amazon, but they're very nice and I like to support small businesses.
I'm local, so if they don't have a book I'm looking for, I can order it to store and pick it up, which is a great feature. I always go in looking for books and then walk out with more than I was looking for.”
