“I came and was greeted by 3 cute kids who clearly had a lot of fun at their grandmas shop! They have beautiful curated gifts and I love how she decorated/ style the store. Every town needs a curated goods boutique store / gift shop and so glad Pleasanton has this gem.”

“What a fun stop along a road trip! Korra was such a helpful guide on book recommendations and a very knowledgeable employee. Nice variety of books! I loved the AAPI month display of books as there were great creative finds I would not have seen in a large corporate bookstore. Very cozy bookstore vibes.”

“This little bookstore is a true gem. The selection is thoughtfully curated, and the staff are exceptionally friendly; they check in regularly and genuinely want to help. It is refreshing to have a place like this in our part of town. I hope more small businesses join the neighborhood and bring even more life to the area. If you are nearby, stop in and pick up a book or two to help this wonderful shop continue to thrive.”

“My all time favorite book store it is so important that this store is still alive and running in 2026 such a beautiful thing that people actually still read. I love the story because it is so comfy clean and just makes me feel right at home. Staff is always wonderful and helpful. I even love shopping online because they have great sales. I enjoy book signings I enjoy sitting having a cup of coffee, sometimes even a pastry….”

“When I moved away from the Bay Area I realized I left behind one of the best Islamic bookstores EVER! Now every time I visit home I go to pick up the latest books. A beautiful and thoughtfully curated collection of books for kids and adults alike, Rumi Bookstore NEVER disappoints (only my budget stops me from buying out the store!). It is my honor to shop and support local. I cannot recommend enough!”

“i see that a lot of the negative reviews mention the prices of the toys being too expensive and i just have to add my two cents. there’s a LE about 45 minutes from me, and their prices are pretty much the same as the one in san ramon. i don’t think the prices are too high at all, i think they’re extremely fair and also not always under the control of LE. for example, i go to LE purely for jellycats. jellycats are relatively expensive no matter where you buy them, but LE always has an amazing selection and the first time i ever went to the one in san ramon, i found a jellycat that has been retired for so long, and is very rare and hard to find, AND THEY WERE SELLING HIM FOR HIS RETAIL PRICE! that is amazing. just a different perspective”

“There is a temporary book store open in building 4 second floor mask required. They have curve side pick up if you email ahead with response. Chris and Sarah were helpful with my demands and even more. For that reason I give the temporary bookstore set up this review. Thanks”
