“walked in thinking it’d be a quick stop for one gift but ended up spending almost an hour in the cozy back corners. the staff member near the poetry section noticed I was lost and actually asked what I was looking for instead of just nodding past me which was a nice change. found this amazing collection of poetry books I wouldnt have seen in a big store its definately my new spot for grabbing gifts for freinds. the place has an open, quiet energy that just feels different than other stores, kind of like everyone inside is on the same wavelength. didn't get rushed out even when they were busy which is rare these days. grabbed a couple things for myself to because they had a small display of local journals and I couldn’t resist the hand drawn cover im a sucker for that kind of detail. I will absolutly be coming back next time im in town”
“The energy you get when you walk in the door. The people you encounter from the staff to the customers. The selection of books for kids and adults, all just amazing. ??♥️”
“Zina is always helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. She takes the time to answer questions and even wraps my books, which I really appreciate. Great customer service and one of the reasons I enjoy coming back to this bookstore.”
“Very cute bookstore with occasional different exhibition. Great news are lots of them come at free entrance so certainly worth exploring when in the area. If you’re into art, the collection they sell are plentiful as well. If you’re just a passer-bys like me, they sell cute cards and stickers. Pricing wise is similar to typical bookstores.”
“Book lovers, collectors, definitely a great place to visit, feels like your inside a different spacetime. You ate able to enjoy the great arquitecture and creativity. If you are visiting LA, recommend yo visit this bookstore. Take your picture in the light book tunnel to capture a memory.”
“This is a really cool gift shop with tons of interesting and unique books on art, queer culture, and the history of Los Angeles. They also sell tons of blind boxes (including Sonny angels), socks, candy, gift cards, and different stationery options.”
“Such a wonderful store! The staff is kind and helpful. The selection of books is terrific. And even though most of the store is dedicated to books for children, they have a carefully curated selection of books for adults -- so every family member will find something to enjoy. They also have a nice selection of gifts, which is why it's the first place I go when I need a hostess gift or something special for a friend. And it's located on an adorable shopping street in Montrose. Make a day of it and visit Once Upon a Time, then have lunch at one of the many wonderful restaurants nearby!”
“I love this book store. I randomly stopped by to buy some Armenian stickers for my dance students and I ended buying two amazing books: Tigran the Great (slicks collectors edition) and a book on the life of Komitas. Both book are in English I was looking for these two books all over Armenian and was not able to find them. Amazing store with so many great Armenian books! I’ll be back again soon! Check them out!”
“Book Alley has a great selection of art and architecture books, a nice collection of first editions and truly enticing bargain racks outside, where I found my $2 copy of Barbara Tuchman’s The March of Folly what a score especially to read in 2026 AHEM. Very friendly staff as well but they need to make some tote bags to sell!!!”

“This location has 3 stories, so I would assume you're able to find something you're interested in given your interest isn't too niche. Staff are hospitable. Must make a purchase, includes Starbucks, according to the clerk to have parking validated with <2hr being free at the nearby carpark.”
“Always a pleasant place to go to with the customer service. I like the fact that if we need something or are looking for a certain item, suggestions are made if we can't find it.
Thank you for being bilingual you do help my momz out allot.”
“Always appreciate curation and specificity. In this case, everything is cooking/food related and they had some products that I'd been looking for (cooking handsoap, etc.).”
“Come here for all your Korean Language needs!
They have every Korean language textbook you can think of like TTMIK,Sogang,Yonsei,and much more!
Plus, they have YA English novels in Korean like Harry Potter, Twilight, and Hunger Games.
They have a small manga and manhwa section completely in Korean, and I bought a BL manga.
If you cant find anything in-store you can order on their website or the kind owner will order it for you!
Sorry for the long wall of text, I didn't know there was such a gem in plain sight!
--------
I needed a TOPIK prep book and with the closure of the beloved Aladdin Bookstore, I came here instead!
Boy am I glad I did! I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of options.
The owner narrowed it down, and I purchased the one he suggested!
It's perfect!
The price was affordable compared to online retailers!
I perused their site and saw they had Jujutsu Kaisen manga translated to Korean available!
I may purchase manga and manhwa here in the future!”
“Amazing location, I drove from Long Beach since it was highly recommended to me by a friend I served in the Marine Corps with. Everyone was so pleasant and it felt just right in there. I will definitely be coming back again. Thank you.”
“I recently stopped by Barnes & Noble in Burbank to pick up a birthday gift for my daughter, and it was such a pleasant experience. The store is bright, well‑organized, and full of great book options for all ages. I loved browsing the kids’ section — it made finding the perfect present so easy.
The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall vibe was relaxed, which made shopping there really enjoyable. They also had a nice selection of gifts and fun little extras, so I even found a few things to add to the birthday bag.
If you’re looking for a welcoming bookstore with lots of choices and a great atmosphere, this Barnes & Noble is totally worth a visit. My daughter absolutely loved her gift! ??”
“The best local bookstore in town. 📚 My friend and I bought mystery books as gifts for each other for the first time, and it was such a great experience.”

“Pretty big selection of books and knick knacks. Their new location is organized and clean. Things can be pricey, but have exclusive stuff that I haven't seen in other bookstores.”
“While I've never personally visited, I live in another state, I wanted to say just how friendly and awesome this company is. I reached out via Instagram asking a question about a certain book I wanted and they replied very quickly and were incredibly helpful. I hope I'm able to actually visit sometime in the future.”

“I was a chaperone at a high school. The event was the Women's Empowerment for young Black women. I like what the university had for the young girls. However, I was very disappointed with the food, and where the lunch was taking place. I understand it was raining that day, and we had a tent. Other than myself, I'm pretty sure others were cold inside the tent. I wish they had a heating vent or something. I did not mind the variety that they had, but I was very disappointed that the food they served was cold. The only thing that was hot was the tomato soup they offered. I had the chicken tenders and tater tots. Overall I enjoyed myself as much as the students did.”
“Amadeus rocks! Small bookstore that carries books from Unamed Press as well as an assortment of new and used books. Book selection varies from classics to modern. They have more alternatibe narratives and authors than most bookstores. Great neighborhood and great staff.”

“The store has a wide selection of bibles and books! From children’s bibles to KJV/NTV/Big Letter. Great customer service, very helpful when seeking a specific translation. Would recommend 100%!!!!”
“I ordered an old 1840 book from their website and it arrived the next day. As soon as I ordered I got a personal email from Kelvin and Javier letting me know what to expect and an immediate reply when I followed up with a concern. The book arrived carefully wrapped and beautifully packaged. Great selection, top-notch shipping, and impeccable customer service. It is refreshing seeing someone take such pride in their business. Thank you for such a great experience!”
“I would 100000% give 5 stars to STEPHANIE SHE IS AMAZING. Goes above and beyond and is so sweet cannot speak highly enough of her. Why I rated 4 stars … the rest of the staff … jeez.. Prindell, relax and watch your tone dude. What is your actual problem. Also doesn’t know how long his lunch break is when I asked to speak to someone to praise them he was very dismissive and rather rude. Horrible energy, made me want to leave immediately. Get a new job if you don’t like it there! anyways Stephanie CARRIES that whole team on her back she is outstanding.”

“Most design bookstores sell picture books — big, beautiful, and done saying anything by page three. This is the other kind. It works like a good record shop: you take your time, dig the corners, and walk out with an idea you didn't come in for. Real design and art theory on the shelves — arguments, not just objects that photograph well. The stationery holds its own too. If you're hunting design, art theory, or culture, this is your room.”
