“This place is completely on-top of their game for drinks, food, service, and atmosphere. I love coming here for the vibe, the excellent coffee, and sometimes, a really delicious lunch. Prices are good, and the people watching is excellent. There's always a seat to be found, and everyone working there is friendly. It's been like this for decades and decades and decades, and I love that.”
“Awesome shop, great selection, everything on the shelves was in fantastic condition. I filled some holes in my collection, and Jude was extremely helpful and got all my items shipped home promptly and for a super fair shipping price. When I received them, they were packed with unbelievable care. Cannot recommend enough.”
“Lovely place. It is linked to Peet's entrance, so your can get your book and go read it with a nice cupa. Staff does a great job putting together theamed book displays. And all the little extras like journals, stuffed toys, greeting cards are nice.”
“Good selection of Russian books with a progressive focus. I previously had them ship a book on LGBT Russian history and just put in a new order for Anna Akhmatova and a book on Russian emigration. Pretty quick shipping and I prefer them to my local (Chicagoland) bookstore.”

“I wish I could buy this entire store ; its design and display achieves a sublime balance between high art and warmth ; your eye flits amongst books and posters and makes unexpected connections ; this does result in nice impulsive buying; I will visit more often as I am registered to take a modern architecture class at Stanford. Vernon and staff are well informed, dispatching their knowledge with ease and warmth.”
“We just received our 5th custom bookshelf from Books & Bookshelves and couldn’t be happier. The other 4 have lasted years, thru several moves. The quality and price can’t be beat!”

“I felt very safe as a trans person here staff were very kind and although they didn't have what I was looking for I was able to find other pieces that more politicalyneutral bookplaces wouldn't stock 10/10 atmosphere 10/10 staff”
“What a cute gift store! That was my go-to anytime I needed to buy a gift card or a SF-related gift. The SF theme objects are not those poor quality ones that you find at the typical touristy gift shop, they made with quality I good taste. If you’re looking for a SF souvenir, that’s to place to go to! (Or the one on haight street)”
“Magical place with a fireplace and lovely seats to just skim thru a potential book you'd like to buy. We came in looking for a book but ended up just getting some of their unique candles - great curated stuff.”
“First time at a standalone Moleskine store! They had every size, colour and type of Moleskine books you could want. And also all other product offerings as well like bags, cases and even customizable accessories and service to do in-house print of monogram/words on your purchased book. They have all the partnership/collab books as well like Le Petite Prince, Star Wars , etc. Prices are at regular levels here, no sales were spotted during my late December visit. They did have some beautiful gift sets here that you can't find any where else. Which are lovely gift ideas for stationery/paper lovers in your life! There were 2 staff members present during my visit, and one of them very quickly came to greet my friends and I as soon as we entered.”
“The first time I visited this store was twenty years ago. I never thought that this independent bookstore would still be able to survive in 2024. For endangered creatures, I am happy to support it with US dollars.”
“I love supporting our San Anselmo library! I was able to buy books for everyone in my family for a very affordable price. It is fun to search the shelves looking for unique finds. The volunteers are very kind.”
“Great place to buy books including a good sum of products you don't find in any other book store in the US normally. Japanese books, magazines and manga untranslated for one thing.”
“Kamisha (sp? :) was very knowledgeable about the inventory & nice to talk to. They have a large selection, so having a helpful guide who knows where to find what you ask for without having to look it up is great.
Some places the weedrista ? just stare at the packages along with you looking to see what has CBG in it. Kamisha knew her stuff & offered helpful alternatives as well.
Good shop, good staff.”

“Whoah, I was shocked by the collection at this little tiny bookstore. They sell used/donated books and the proceeds go to the local library. I've been to other bookstores that benefit local libraries, and normally the collection is so sad. I'm an avid fiction reader, and pretty picky, and in their fiction section they had tons of great books published in the last couple years that I have loved (for around $5 for most books) In the travel section I found a fairly recent guidebook for Montreal which will be awesome for our upcoming trip. My husband couldn't stop raving about the 4D? John Wick DVDs he found for cheap that he said would easily go for 10x the price on Amazon. We also found lots of cute books for our toddlers that were 2-3 dollars each. Overall, very small shop but some great finds!!”

“I had a great beginner class here. The instructor was friendly and very informative. The building is nice with interesting equipment. I look forward to taking more classes”
“I got the iced matcha latte with oat milk and vanilla sweetner. It was really good quality and one of the best matchas i’ve had so far in SF! Drink was a rich green color, so that was a tell tale sign it was good quality matcha.-1 star because the only alternative milk they have is oat milk. I would love if they had almond or soy too.”
“Glad to have such a great book shop in the neighborhood.
They take requests, so if you want to shop local and they don’t have what you’re looking for in stock, they’ll make it happen!”
“It was great to see items from the shows in the store and own a memory. We were able to find some unique gifts for friends and families. The staff is knowledgeable, patient and efficient.”
“We are very fortunate to have Corner Books inside the Tiburon library. There’s no other place like it—they have a fantastic selection of books at the lowest prices possible and a friendly smart team that can help people find exactly the right books to read or give as gifts.”
“We rented a chuppah for our wedding from Dayenu Judaica. We found the process to be incredibly easy, and the staff to be friendly and helpful in every interaction we had. The chuppah was in good condition and reasonably priced. We'd recommend them if you are looking for a chuppah! Note: while the chuppah poles and bases fit fairly easily in our midsize SUV, you may want to make a plan for transport if you have a smaller vehicle and have any other luggage.”
“You simply MUST visit if you have any appreciation for the lost art of bookmaking or any interest in typography and the mechanics of printing. The machinery used here date back to some of the earliest printing processes and are still working.This place is a museum that still produces beautiful art books. The fine people working here are true artisans and are happy to share their work with you. Call ahead to be sure you can take the tour, or attend a show featuring their amazing artwork on display.”
“What a lovely store. My wife and I bought a one-of-a-kind pillow from a Mexican artist and we absolutely love it. The staff is super friendly and they have a wonderful variety of home decor.”
“Yay! Kayo is open again, in a beautiful new space just a block west of their old location! The old space was, like most used bookstores (Green Apple, Russian Hill Books, Dog Eared, et al), a bit cramped and overflowing with printed matter, but this new space is more like a temple of vintage books and magazines -- airy, filled with light, and with plenty of space. I don't think I've ever been in a used book store that had such an elegant and spacious feel, and I've prowled through used book stores around the world. There's still a good selection of vintage pulp magazines & paperbacks, entire sections for various kinks, lots of art books, and a surprising selection of high-end volumes to choose from (a signed copy of Evelyn Waugh's "Love Among the Ruins"?! Be still, my credit card!) If you miss San Francisco's late, great used bookstores (Acorn, Albatross, Fields', et al), take heart: we still have at least ten, now that Kayo is back among us, and Kayo's selection and foci are unique among them. Discover the unique treasures that Kayo offers!”
“Discover a wonderful haven for book lovers encompassing a diverse range of subjects. Indulge in a delightful café experience while surrounded by literary treasures. Lose yourself in the tranquility of a garden nestled within the bookstore's walls.”
“This is a wonderful bookstore!! You can really feel the love for books and I wish I wasn’t just visiting the area, but lived nearby and that this was my bookstore ❤️Large selection, well organized and lovingly displayed. Lots of fun treasures for book lovers, including wrapped books with a single sentence written on the wrapper.The young woman at the register was friendly and welcoming. Loved everything about Booksmith.Accessible, with items both high and low within reach.”

“I haven't had the honor to go here yet but this place gets 10 stars from me for there volunteer work that sends books into prison for free. This place saved my soul by providing me with books and 'zines to read and also educated me when I first started my transition. Thank you Bound Together Book store!”

“Was visiting Mill Valley with friends and on a whim we decided to get our ears pierced. Walked in and was helped right away! Nicole was very helpful with all the jewelry and advice on placement. Eddy was so kind while performing the piercings. He went out of his way to bring mindfulness and incorporated deep breathing to make the experience positive. Both Nicole and Eddy made it a fun, smooth memorable experience. Would highly recommend!”
