“Only $14 for a delicious open face toasted NY bagel with cream cheese, capers, sliced tomato and red onion - what a great deal! This would easily be twice the price in the east bay. Great service and casual Sunday morning ambience - great fun to eavesdrop on the opinionated book store argument background noise punctuated by the espresso machine.”

“this place is beyond cool. if you get sad every time you go into a bookstore and the sci-fi/fant sections are sad and small, this place is the exact opposite. even if you don't typically read sci-fi/fant/horror/mystery, you could probably find something in here to change your mind. they've got all the usual suspects: dune, the expanse series, children of time, stephen king, agatha christie, etc. and then also tonnsss of other titles to discover! ps. eleanor has great taste”

“I was looking for a place that carries products aimed at cognitive enhancement (nootropics) and overall brain health and wellness (adaptogens). Drawn to the name, The Higher Consciousness, I found such supplements to elevate my mind. It's a specialty shop located in the eclectic and diverse Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. They carry a wide assortment of unique cbd, mushrooms, and plant medicines not found elsewhere, all reasonably priced. The shop owners are very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to answering questions and making product suggestions based on your specific needs. You can also find an interesting assortment of cannabis and mushroom themed books, novelties, and gifts. I've been here a few times and truly recommend this place. Nothing but good vibes and great customer service here. Thanks guys! Not to mention, it's always good to support and shop local businesses.”

“Step into the enchanting world of Kinokuniya bookstore, nestled within the bustling Japan Center mall at Japantown, San Francisco. From the moment you enter, you're greeted by a vibrant atmosphere that's as inviting as it is exciting. The first floor is a paradise for anime and manga enthusiasts, boasting an extensive collection of Japanese and English manga, art books, and anime merchandise. And don't miss the illustration by the renowned Japanese artist, Katsuya Terada, adorning the entrance. It's a testament to the store's commitment to celebrating Japanese culture and artistry, with a touch of magic added by Terada's live painting during his visit in 2013. Venturing up to the second floor, you'll discover a haven for book lovers of all kinds. Here, you'll find a diverse selection of general English and Japanese books, magazines, and gift items. Whether you're searching for a new novel to lose yourself in, a magazine to spark your curiosity, or the perfect gift for a loved one, Kinokuniya has you covered. What truly sets this bookstore apart is the variety of offerings from Japan. From literature to lifestyle, stationery to snacks, there's something to captivate every interest and taste. I often find myself getting lost in the aisles, marveling at the array of titles and treasures waiting to be discovered. But it's not just the impressive selection that keeps me coming back--it's the staff. Knowledgeable and friendly, they are always willing to offer a recommendation or answer any questions you may have.

“I can't say enough good things about the store and the people that work there (shout out to you Jo! and cashier and chief gift wrapper-didn't get her name sadly) I've only been there once before for a short time. I went yesterday with my dog (who was quite vocal that day) and we were embraced wholeheartedly. I got a mass of gifts for a friend's bday among their well-curated books and other items, and they were beautifully wrapped. The team also showered my dog with attention and snacks. and I felt like I was treated with such care. The store has such a homey, cozy, and lovely vibe! I will definitely be going back!”

“I really like this Books Inc. Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. I also appreciate that they are open somewhat early. I can buy a magazine or a book before my work day starts and still have time to grab coffee. Thank you Books Inc, glad you're still around!”

“By coincidence I came in to this book store where I saw books on display that rapidly intrigued me, and made me think about diverse topics. Definitely worth a visit if you are seeking for food for thoughts.”

“Legendary store. Have always enjoyed every visit here. I always find good finds each visit from all the many options to choose from here. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I love the location as it is near a restaurant I adore, Max's Opera Cafe. Peet's shares the building and entrance so that is a nice perk. Buy a book, get a beverage, sit and enjoy both. There is a parking garage with Valet service in the building. Love the many live talks with authors.”

“A great bookshop with excellent choice of books. It has all those interesting books from the past, but not many that you get swamped. Run by Volunteers of the Library. Books cost.under $10, some as low can as $3, even for a volume. The success of a bookstore is in the choice of the books.”

“Really friendly service! Great selection--and they can order any book I want and get it very quickly. (A particularly great selection of kids books, but I also get a lot of literary books here too.) Free parking out back. Just an all-around great independent bookstore!”

“The store is stocked to the brim with comics, novels, cookbooks, and various genres, all with reasonable prices! It is also run by the sweetest and most helpful store owner, Jiang Mama. She and the store makes the trek from South Bay to SF Chinatown worth it.”

“This is a very peaceful and unique book shop. The inside is very well organized and has every book sorted out by the different genres. They had various home items, valentines décor, cards, gift options, and souvenirs. The kid section was super cute and had different stuffed animals, toys, and books. The view is very pretty as you can see out towards the boats / yachts. We didn't interact with the lady working and she didn't say anything to us either. It was pretty busy and a lot of people were browsing.”

“The Cartoon Art Museum was a lovely addition to our touring schedule for our family, including our 16 year old, a self-proclaimed Comic Con geek. The museum fueled her curious nature. A quaint little off the beaten path respite from all energy of the Wharf, we loved the reading room, and the memorabilia was well displayed. Also, the local artists featured in several areas around the museum were extremely impressive. We felt very welcomed and enjoyed seeing the mentoring going on between curator and what appeared to be a new museum employee. Overall, it was a 5 star experience. Excellent quality.”

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 good reminder of this unsung bookstore across the street from the College of Marin. I wanted a book today for a birthday party tonight--nothing like waiting until the last second! Not only did they have that precise book, but wrapped it beautifully while I browsed the extensive card collection. And I had a fine discussion about recent books with the two individuals minding the store. I will go there first in the future--the "First" in the name of the store means more than just First St. where they got their start!”

“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!!”

“This is my favorite bookstore ever: even more than The Strand, than Shakespeare and Company, or St. Mark's (even when it was flourishing) and Revolution Books.”
“What a cool store! I stopped in during a business trip and the owner, Tracy, was so kind and engaging! This is an eclectic boutique with great clothing options, some interesting books, and eastern home decor. Check out FEZ if you in the area!”
