“This is the place to go for all things homeschooling! They have an insane amount of books, curriculum, games puzzles and more! They also offer classes and fieldtrips. My daughter attends the science class taught by Mr. Marty and she loves it! I even learn a thing or two when I tune into the class. Both Carolyn and Marty can answer any questions you have regarding homeschooling and curriculum, they even know which charter schools are better than others. Highly highly recommend this place to all parents”

“One helpful thing about the store use that it was arranged by topic. If the Japanese garden was your main interest, one section was devoted to it. It made finding books on herbs vs art history very easy to find. It was also very well-stocked. The herbal book we purchased, as well as the art book, we're of high quality. The staff were also very kind.”

“Didn't know about this Vroman's location till, well...a few days ago! It was a nice surprise to spot it on Foothill, so as a bookworm, I couldn't resist to check it out! It isn't as big as the main location on Colorado, I didn't expect that. But it has a decent size for your regular bookstore, with a great selection of Fiction, Kid's books, Young Adult. Very well stocked Bargain section, if you're looking for a good deal, search no more. Nice atmosphere, not crowded, attentive staff. Parking in front, decent lot! They also sell small gifts, toys, games, cards, etc. So lots of nice merchandise to check out. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area looking for your next read or a cool gift!”

“Found this gem recently. Wish I found this place sooner but glad that I have finally found this place. Although this place has mostly Chinese Christian books and Chinese bibles (that I don't need), but it does have random small cute things that you can buy. Bookmarks, water bottles, wall hangings, a few pens, decorations etc. Not a lot of quantity of every item, so get it while it's still there. Staff is friendly. The lady who helped me is super nice and I really like her a lot. They have Chinese Christian Calendars every year which I didn't know many people order from them. Their customer service is superb. I think all the Chinese churches in LA and OC all come here for their products unlike the other place I went to that closed down near by. I only found this place because of Yelp. So happy and so thankful. I'll be coming here whenever I am in town.”

“Nucleus Art Gallery is such a flex and cool art gallery in the heart of Alhambra on Main Street. There's plenty of free parking in the area. The Gallery is quite small, basically, one large room followed by a stairwell (with another gallery space along the walls) leading to a second floor for another gallery space exhibit. So they can hold about 3 different small exhibits, and I have to say I was really impressed with the exhibits! The curation is spot on! I do have to preface that I love art galleries and museums, and this is a stellar gallery. Walking around the area, it's sad to see so many empty spaces for lease. My wish is that the City of Alhambra can work with other nonprofits to create a museum row along Main Street that is of the same caliber as Nucueles, similar to when you go to Chinatown and find a row of various art galleries. Imagine all these empty storefronts turned into various galleries with different types of art and Friday or Saturday nights with art block parties. Just putting it out there. I bet the leases are high, but if the city can work out a contract to turn the area into a bustling art scene, it would be great for the community. Just my two cents and hope it can happen because Nucleus has set such a fantastic model of what more can be done in the area for the arts.”

“They used to have a tons of books & gifts... but this time they barely have anything. Please take time to restock. Used to love bringing my nieces here... it's kind of sad now. *I revised my review based on the owner's time and effort to respond. And I understand the challenges they face. Will revise again after I visit the store. Thanks.”

“I can always find what I'm looking for & even things I didn't know I needed. The energy in here is always amazing...warm, welcoming & positive. Just all around great vibes! The staff is super knowledgeable & helpful. I came in once unsure of the exact stone I needed but was able to tell the gentleman helping me what energy I wanted & he helped me decide on a great Obisdian stone. I've also got my very first tarot deck from here.”

“How lucky are we to live in CA which has some of the best schools in the world. Cal Tech is one of the best of the best! Did you know that Einstein taught here and you can still see the house that he lived in?? I was here for a tour and loved every minute. How I wish I had this appreciation for education when I was in college. ;-)”

“My husband and I have been going to this church since 2012. We lived close by in Glendora, and moved out near Jurupa Valley in 2013. We still make the drive all the way to Azusa for church...that's how much we love the teachings there and our church family who is always there for us when we need it. We love the coziness (we're not really into mega churches), so for us, it's perfect.”

“Visited here last week to check it out after the ownership change a year ago. They carry English manga now too as well as Mandarin. You can stay and read at the store for a fee or rent or buy just like the previous owner. The place is still nice and clean.”

“This place is the worst for people starting their journey of stationery addiction... Because you would spend HOURS here (I did) just looking and baffled by the selection of stationery items, especially the pens, there's just heaps of them here with all the refills you'll ever need! 10/10 would burn my time here again!!!”

“There are multiple small stores and a lot of Asian restaurants in this plaza. Boiling Point and the popular TK92 Korean Barbecue are located here. It’s better to park below street level in this plaza.”

“I love the PCC Bookstore! Even when the employees are so busy, they are always friendly and I love all the school gear. I mean, can you ever have too many PCC hoodies? A lot of people talk about wait times on their reviews, but this is not the employees' fault, I know they are doing the best they can! Keep it up guys, you're doing great!”
