“Friendly, helpful staff & owners. Clean. Decent prices for the used books. I didn’t look at new books this time. But I will be ordering some soon. I didn’t look at the nutrition selection, but they had a lot of what I was looking for in terms of child education (not even just religious stuff, stuff like phonics and a kid’s dictionary). Will be back to check out more.”

“I had a reading with Arturo. It was life changing for me. He definitely perceived the issues that I am struggling with and some of the history leading up to them. He was kind, compassionate and so very insightful. The reading gave me inspiration and I left feeling a renewed sense of purpose. And he gave me HOMEWORK (LOL) so that I could continue on a positive path. The reading was truly a blessing.”
“Such a fun find! Don’t plan to bring in your coffee but do plan to stay a while. My son tried all the chairs and loved the children’s corner. We picked up some books on dinosaurs and it was a real treat hunting for all the dinosaur figures throughout the store. Very cool vibes.”
“This is the best bookstore in town. Independently owned, their selections are masterfully curated, their employees are kind, knowledgeable, and extremely well-read, and the store is simply a joy to be in.
One of my favorite places to shop for gifts. Check out their website if you’re local; they host monthly community events, including a great book club.”
“Best vinyl shop in San Diego!!! Mom and Pop.. and Son shop. Not the typical stuck up attitude you get at a vinyl shop. These folks actually are extremely friendly amd helpful. A must visit, especially if you like old horror movies.”
“So in love with this place—the booksellers know their inventory, give great recommendations, and just make me appreciate customer service once again!! They were so helpful in giving us recommendations for kids graphic novels and Japanese inspired books for youth. Hoping my son will want to come back time and time again as his love for books grows.”
“This was an adorable little spot I stumbled upon thanks to TikTok while I was visiting SD. They have a huge variety and I love how organized and categorized everything was. I bought a book I had been eyeing for a while and the cutest bookmark! The staff were not very friendly, though.”
“beautifully crafted store with a welcoming and inclusive presence to all. the cats are the star of the show but there’s something for everyone at this bookstore!”
“It’s really cozy and the staff is very friendly. They helped me go through all the vinyls multiple times just to find one particular record I was looking for. Customer service 10/10.”
“It is an incredible place, you find many things in addition to an infinite number of books, magazines, comics, accessories, records, all kinds of board games, toys and even coffee inside in case you want a delicious drink, this incredible place I loved it ?”
“What a lovely place! They have a lot of nice old books, they're good quality, they have a very cute cat, and they're also very kind people. There's a little stand outside with books for 2 dollars and when we went to pay for our books we bought the two books we found inside and they gave us the books from the 2 dollar stand for free :] Very kind people. :D”
“For any reading enthusiast, this place is a little slice of heaven. With an extensive collection of books, music, collectibles, and memorabilia, it offers a treasure trove of discovery and inspiration. Every corner invites you to explore, spark your imagination, and lose yourself in the charm of storytelling and nostalgia. It's a must visit destination for anyone who appreciates the magic of literature and timeless keepsakes.”
“5 Stars because book stores are my life and I love them for existing! Unfortunately, I got there at 4:58pm and they were closing up for a book club, so I didn’t get to go inside before I flew back to Texas. Hopefully I will get back to San Diego one day and make it in time to enjoy another book lovers haven in this great city. Support Local Book Stores!”
“Stephanie has amazing customer service and super-duper helpful. I am blessed to have had her help .Stephen(?), ( i couldn't see his name tag clearly >~<) was very nice and welcoming.”
“One of my favorite bookstores when I lived in San Diego a few years back. Got to revisit this past week and was happy to find it still open for business and thriving. They’ve even reorganized things and I like the new setup. Great to see small business bookstores doing so well. Found some great books to add to my collection of course. And already look forward to my next visit!”
“It's probably because the school year is barely starting, but their stock was a bit low. In the apparel there's not the necessary variety of styles, colors and sizes for a campus that big, and boy is the clothing awesome!!!!.(plus great clearance prices) The baseball hats, the beannies, cool t-shirts and sweatshirts.... . But the jackets.... Those are a must have for the winter weather. Hopefully in the coming weeks jackets for women will become also available.”
“Excellent selection of books that are always evolving. Whenever I need to find a book that a Big Bookstore wouldn't carry, I come here. Hidden away, this store is a diamond in the rough.”

“Great scented shea butters, oils, jewelry. The Rihanna and Kush butters smelled amazing. The owner was very kind and knowledgeable while showing me around the store. They have a great book and clothing selection that sends great messages. I bought some stickers with quotes from the store. Very easy going atmosphere.”
“Ann Kinner is the best. If you have a complex cruise coming up, work with her to find a time when she is usually less busy, and you will get an incredible education and she will do her best to keep costs to a minimum!!! No matter where you are starting from- get your advice from her and ship the charts and guides to your launching point!!”
“This is honestly the cutest bookstore ever. Although it is pricy, I do enjoy everything they have in there. Specifically had my eye on a hoodie that I had planned to purchase on payday, and I couldn’t believe how fabulous the customer service was from the ladies that work there. Specifically Raquel. I’m not sure if I’m spelling her name right, but she went above and beyond to make sure I got everything I needed and gave me an awesome shopping experience.”

“This is a must go place among many other attractions in San Diego. In fact, it got to be in the top 10 list for being such a splendid and magnificent architecture in the heart of San Diego, offering a place for book lovers, knowledge seekers etc. There are multiple levels with a huge collection of books, computers, secluded areas to focus on one's work and beautiful views of the beautiful city. There is also an auditorium for various types of events adjacent to a small open area. Parking is nothing to worry about. Come, park and enjoy this luxury.”
“Haven’t had a chance to visit the store yet but I have ordered many books from them. Love their commitment to providing very important books that are intentionally left out of what’s left of the very sparse bookstore landscape.”
“Geppetto's is a great toy store located in Fashion Valley plaza. It is a vintage looking boutique toy store. They have such an amazing collection of toys, puzzles and board games, craft and dolls. I always enjoy shopping there. They have a unique collection of merchandises.The service is always exceptional.”
“They got the books, the movies, the music, and the staff to help you locate any resource at San Diego Central Library. And the bookshop is a great way to support them. Great for gifts!”
“We had a large group, the restaurant was full. We were seated without a long wait, orders were taken in good time and food served without a long wait. Then we were forgotten. Food was excellent and prices reasonable but we had to hunt for service after we received our meal. Too bad.”
“I had such a fun time here! I work nearby and I’d seen this bookstore multiple times and decided to go in and look around. I was not disappointed. They have a huge selection of books. They also have a hefty selection on legos and little Knick knacks. I loved roaming around and just seeing all the different things. If ever in the area I recommend going in and just looking around for fun or if you’re looking for a book I think they’ll have it available (:The kids selection is pretty big. The biggest selection I’ve seen so far!”
“I know people already wrote about the significance of this place to the Beat Generation of SD, so I'm not going to write more about that.Jack Kerouac alley is right next door between this book store and Vesuvio Bar, by the way.”
“A very good place to get to know about Buddhism. Buddhism books suitable for beginners, kids, youth and of course advanced.It has exhibitions from time to time, painting, artwork by kids, gourd carving, tea ceremony etc.... The current exhibition is a LEGO set of its buildings, fascinating!”

“Highly recommend this company! Totally exceeded my expectations with the remodel of my kitchen and I would definitely be using them again for any future remodeling projects. They were professional, transparent, and efficient. Their work is top notch and reasonably priced, you will not be disappointed!”
