“I recently had the pleasure of visiting “The Good Shepherd Catholic Store” and I must say, the experience was outstanding. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted warmly by Ms. Jacqueline and Ms. Yvonne. A great place for all your Catholic supplies books, statues and so much more. Because of their services, I will revisit the store and recommend The Good Shepherd Catholic Store to All!!!”

“Exceptional Service from Michael!
I recently had the pleasure of being assisted by Michael, and I couldn't be more impressed with his customer service. From the moment we started interacting, he was incredibly attentive and genuinely interested in helping me. He listened carefully to my needs and went above and beyond to ensure all my questions were answered thoroughly.
Michael's knowledge and professionalism were truly outstanding. He clearly knew his stuff and was able to provide clear, concise explanations without making me feel rushed or unheard. What really stood out was his positive attitude and willingness to find the best solution for me. It's rare to encounter such a dedicated and pleasant individual in customer service.
Thanks to Michael, my experience was smooth, efficient, and genuinely enjoyable. He's a true asset and deserves significant recognition for his excellent work!”

“This store is simply amazing..great selection....excellent customer service...and amazing worship music to melt away anything negative that happened in the day ..JOY comes upon me every time I walk in this store!”
“Lovely little local used book store. Book prices aren’t cheap, but you’re obviously going to pay more supporting a local business than if you purchase off amazon. Their website is great for looking at their selection ahead of time, which I’ve never seen another shop do! Will be coming back soon, even just to enjoy the environment”
“The best shop to buy all the stuffs for baby and young kids! Fast shipping and high quality All Chinese books for children are bought from yo baby. The quality is very good and can be read for a long time! And the delivery speed is super fast. I look forward to receiving it every time.”
“This is my family’s favorite bookstore. We’ve found many great vintage children’s books at decent prices. The staff is friendly, and the environment is inclusive.”
“I met many wonderful, considerate, respectful people of all age groups. I was very impressed with their commitment to the Christian ✝️ community and their faith in God.”
“As soon as you cross the threshold, you're met with the wonderful smell of ink on paper. Plenty of seating, to sit down and browse. Wide aisles that you can stand in or kneel and check the shelves out. And if you're feeling up to it, do a little impulse shopping for some really interesting gifts, journals, pens and more for yourself or someone else. Conclude your visit with a coffee and a pastry whilst leafing through your purchases.”
“The owner is always so sweet and so helpful!! Always has great prices for books and is always fun looking through and seeing all different kinds of stuff. New and old!!”
“Stopped by on a whim, the staff is nice and helpful. Was able to find what I was looking for and some future recommendations. I would visit again when I’m in the area.”
“The lady that works her is very nice and helpful. This store has lots of gifts and religious items. Highly recommend for anyone that is looking for Catholic items or books.
They have a large selection of items. Will definitely return when I'm in the area.”
“I've ordered several times and really love the service, speed of delivery and the condition my packages arrive in. So many great books available. Multiple shipping options and reasonable pricing.”
“This shop is really nice, I actually bought a pair of AirPods in here once and I was completely satisfied with my purchase. I also bought a cap to wear and it looks very nice on me. This store has pretty much everything a student at college would need like laptops, headphones, books, art supplies and merchandise. The shop has a 2nd floor but I have not seen what’s upstairs unfortunately, but this store is very awesome.”

“A really cute ma & pa shop. A Fullerton staple, most definitely! The shop really is half off (check the original price heheh) and they have a ton of different genres. I’ve been many times and they have foreign books all the time. Recently, I went during a fire sale, where they sell used books very cheap. I got books on drawing, culture, comics, etc.. it was honestly a great bargain. Support a local business and stop on by!”
“A store full of Christian books, statutes, cards, Bibles and much more! I love coming here. Thank you for all the work you guys put into the store being open. We are very grateful!”
“Wow, what a great little spot. It's rare to find a used bookstore and this one is awesome. So many books and pretty clearly organized. The service is also super friendly and warm. Will return when I'm in the area.”
“Haven't been to Barnes& Noble in years! I didn't think it would be busy considering all of the digital books available these days. But this place was slammed. They don't match any other stores so I would recommend searching Amazon and eBay before purchases.”

“So many cute, practical, and inspiring religious gifts! I went in to pick up a Chinese Bible for a friend and was surprised by the abundant choices there are! I am so glad we have this gem in SGV!”

“I am really enjoying my time here. God was so faithful in bringing me here. I am a commercial music major, and the smaller class sizes overall in the music department have been a blessing in us getting more instructor help. One of my music professors has super gone out of his way for me too, like zoom calling when I've needed sight singing help, and even driving to school in the evening one day to help me with a music tech assignment. My other music professors have been open, invitational, and available for office hours and email questions too. I really appreciate how overall the Conservatory of music is humble at Biola, and that they incorporate Jesus into what we do and bringing Him glory through our art, yet striving to be excellent in that at the same time with our music. I am also in Torrey, and WOW. It is such a rich learning experience. I've been learning how to discuss with others on different types of books, whether it's the Bible, book by C.S. Lewis, or books by non Christian authors who have very different beliefs. We look at different perspectives, discuss what a book is talking about, yet still hold to Biblical views. The Torrey professors are wonderful overall, they put you with a mentor, and mine (Dr. Henderson) is awesome. I love the socratic model Torrey enforces, the writing, and my cohort has awesome people in it, who even with being from different places, including different states, having different personalities, love Jesus and respect each other overall. All my professors have been investing in their students in some shape or form, and overall they really care about student's character. I came from a public high school, and while I appreciate experiences I had there, it was super different than Biola. It feels so nice to have a hugely increased number of teachers and peers that really overall treat me with the love of Jesus, including kindness. I have never seen a place where so many people treated others like they are made in God's image. It's definitely not perfect, I have seen students say and do things they shouldn't here and there, but overall, it has been wonderful, people overall are really kind and welcoming. Biola is a beautiful model of Biblical unity amidst diversity. I've also really enjoyed how they try to celebrate different ethnicities there. The school is super Christ-centered. I thought the chapels and teaching here would be like baby Christian milk, but while there is milk, there is also meat. Good balance, especially for so many different people at different places in their walks with God. Overall, great commuter community, the collegium is a blessing. Finally, a shout out to campus security. I commute, and my car needed to be jumpstarted one time. They literally have a jump start kit in the office. The other day also, I didn't realize it, but my tire was flat, and turns out there was a nail in it. I got a call from campus security about it, saying that a Residential Director saw it and called it in, and they wanted to let me know so I wouldn't drive away with it. I appreciate the 24/7 campus security line, the phone operators are so friendly overall, and I appreciate cs driving around campus, including at night, and keeping watch, too. I'm glad that campus security, and people on this campus, are looking out for me. So blessed that Jesus has got my back, and He has been using the people here at Biola in doing that.”
“I am a Catholic, I went there to buy a gift for a friend who is Christian. The staff at the bookstore were amazing, which made me very welcome. Also, spiritual knowledge on all aspects. I left the bookstore with peace.”
“The store is good for animes fans definitely, has figures, plushies, and more merch. I don't agree with the other reviews saying its "one of the best," the store is just too small to entertain that idea. Sakura Anime Toys just a few miles away is a better option. However, one of the main reasons why I liked the store is the pricing. Nothing there was overpriced, everything was reasonably priced and possibly under priced. I would return to this location.”
“I visited the Wonder Emporium for the first time today to find a gift for my granddaughter, and I was delighted by the experience. They even offered to gift wrap her presents, which was a lovely touch. The husband and wife who run the store were incredibly friendly and enjoyable to chat with. It felt refreshing to shop in a physical store rather than ordering toys online from Amazon. I will definitely return for future gifts.”
