Ever since I moved away, I've missed this little slice of home more than ever! Such a beautiful shop, you're instantly immersed into a calm atmosphere. Full of knowledgeable people, and gorgeous products, I haven't been able to find anywhere else like it!

Absolutely love this place! Altogether has the best vibes of any book shop anywhere, a great variety of precious minerals, rare Earth minerals, and jewelry,And of course a great selection in a wide variety of books...You should bump into a gentleman named Dave behind the counter, if you happen to be lucky enough! Super courteous and kind!

The owner frank smith of this store is a very rude person I walked in with my child that is 4 years old because my child was a little loud he yelled at my child and told him to shut up my child was scared ran up to me they way he spoke to a 4 year old was unbelievable I was ready and happy to spend my money then he came up to me very rude and told me that he didn’t want people like me and my child in the store I was in shock that the owner had told me. I have never felt someone treat me and my child so wrong . I regret walking in to the store I did not think I was be treated with such unfair treatment for no reason just because I have a child with me please do not support a business who has poor values and respect for people .

Love this wellness bookstore! Most of the books are about holistic physical and mental health. There are chimes, relaxing crystal bowls, candles, aromatherapy products, etc.While I wandered around looking at all the crystals and essential oils, all I could get myself to buy was a 2023 planner (yeah super-practical but I need to be organized for wellness).One of the cutest planners that I've owned. Up there with an Ansel Adams planner that I owned years ago.simonandschuster.com/boo…Here is the description:Gardeners and plant enthusiasts will be inspired by breathtaking artwork of flora and foliage while staying organized with this environmentally friendly 12-month planner.

I have lived in San Jose for 18 years, every weekend we go to a different zones of the Bay Area and one of my favorites is Mountain View, where we go for lunch, spend the afternoon drinking coffee and matcha ( me) and working online. Last Saturday after lunch my husband wanted to enter this store looking for a specific incense. What a nice surprise. I went through all the corners of the spacious place, I noticed that they have a yoga area with cushions, bowls, and another calm area in the back.It is full of religious, spiritual, decorative objects, stones, an immense variety of new used spanish books, clothing, hats, backpacks, crystals, bags, jewelry, all kinds of incense, the classics and other new scents that I use daily to meditate (I do mindfulness) The staff is very friendly, help us to find what we were looking for and we end buying beautiful unexpected things that I need =DI highly recommend this place for a nice pause in Castro Street.
