“A nice store at the college, tend to come here every once and awhile when I'm craving a little snack or when I need somethings for classes or just to have for the fun of it .”
“I love comics. This place has a wild array of comics, it's hard to not go insane and blow my entire paycheck on loads of stories. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I am a huge fan, and someday I hope to have a book here!”
“Very unique shop :) They have a great selection of used and new books. I especially like the poetry section, there are lots of rare/small press publications. It's also cool to pop in for live music.”
“I came in looking for a book on a subject that they didn't have, but the gentleman I spoke with offered up some alternatives and shared his knowledge on a few subjects related to my inquiry. Overall great experience”
“Unbelievable little bookstore. Everyone who works there is an avid reader and a good listener. And if they don't have a title, they get it for you in a day or two. You can't go wrong here!”
“Beautiful bookstore in the heart of SF mission st. Parking is a hard but great ambience and fantastic indoor music concerts. Def a great place to spend an evening”
“amazingly curated queer bookstore. great sections on Indigineity, lgbti+ fiction and nonfic, poetry, greeting cards etc. many fun staff picks and very kind workers! 10/10”
“A gem of a bookstore, featuring basically any cookbook or book about food you could imagine. The folks who work there are extremely helpful, and the environment is excellent.”
“Bookshop West Portal should be on everyone's best book store list! It's my personal favorite - it feels like a warm and inviting community space, the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they know their books. I love going there. Their stock is always good, and they can order anything that might be missing quickly. They also regularly sponsor author readings, and book clubs. For example, Irish author Ethel Rohan curates an Irish book club, recommending books to read and authors to follow. It's such a wonderful neighborhood - City - amenity.”
“I got the iced matcha latte with oat milk and vanilla sweetner. It was really good quality and one of the best matchas i’ve had so far in SF! Drink was a rich green color, so that was a tell tale sign it was good quality matcha.-1 star because the only alternative milk they have is oat milk. I would love if they had almond or soy too.”
“Adobe Books is a great community gathering place that features brilliant artists and musicians. In an era where the commons are dying, it brings me a lot of satisfaction to know i can stop by adobe books any day and be around enriching conversation, and great, affordable books.”

“Beautifully full of books from a variety of topics. As a bibliophile you can peruse without interference. Every book is priced, so no surprises there. My go-to bookstore when I want something to make me happy
!”
“What a cute gift store! That was my go-to anytime I needed to buy a gift card or a SF-related gift. The SF theme objects are not those poor quality ones that you find at the typical touristy gift shop, they made with quality I good taste. If you’re looking for a SF souvenir, that’s to place to go to! (Or the one on haight street)”
“Discover a wonderful haven for book lovers encompassing a diverse range of subjects. Indulge in a delightful café experience while surrounded by literary treasures. Lose yourself in the tranquility of a garden nestled within the bookstore's walls.”
“I should have been going to Florey much sooner. Im surprised at the variety of selection available in the store. If they don't have a book I'm interested in, they will order it. The price and delivery time is comparable to big box stores. Plus, the owner is great.”
“What a beautiful bookstore with such a generous inventory! With time to kill waiting for a delayed flight & a book in my carry-on I had finished hours before, I was so happy to find that Compass had a huge number of books on my want-to read list (not just the limited amount of trending/newer titles that most of the smaller book sections in airport gift stores have). If you’re looking for your next read ahead of travel at SFO, please give them a visit - they also have a store in Terminal 2!”
“I love this place so much i could live in it
This is an edit to a review I’ve already made and I still love this place and I’m writing it because I love this place so much and I almost always have amazing experiences with the staff here they’re so kind but today was a little different and it was someone I had never seen before. It was an older lady and she was just kind of rude to my friend and I it was kind of jarring because I’ve never had an experience like that there. For example, my friend tried to ask her a question and she held her finger up to her. I still love this place and still gets five stars. I just wanted to write a little review because it just doesn’t seem to align with what Barnes & Noble usually is like.
But I love the selection and there’s so many fidget toys and other things that’s an amazing store. I love it and again I could live in it”
“Cute local women-owned bookshop right here in Westlake. I used to work nearby and would often make a visit for my book needs! They often host community events and are always super helpful. In between shopping, eating, grocery stores, banking, and boba runs sits a little reading nook called Peninsula Books. Definitely be sure to stop by and take a gander at their selections.”

“I had a great beginner class here. The instructor was friendly and very informative. The building is nice with interesting equipment. I look forward to taking more classes”
“This is a wonderful spot to get a child's gift. The young lady who helped us was phenomenal. She was sweet kind and patient. They have an awesome selection.”
“I went here a while back to buy some very affordable guitars when I was teaching myself how to play the guitar. I bought a nice electric guitar (Stratocaster style--I don't recall the brand) and a Rosa acoustic guitar. I also purchased a tambourine and a recorder. Even though they were not expensive, the employee (I think his name was Abraham) still added on an additional discount! What a deal! So, if you need to purchase an affordable guitar, which are displayed in the front window, this is just the place for you.”

“Really great and popular library! Nice high atmosphere for both quiet study spaces and conversational areas for tutoring or wfh spaces.Bathrooms pretty clean for a public library”
“Great mom and pop book shop selling books on Asian American history and culture. They also sell koinobori (carp for Japanese Children’s Day), chopsticks, origami paper. There are only two stores like this in the Bay Area, the other one being Eastwind Books in Berkeley. Volunteer run.”
“Treasure trove of rare left wing and queer books with a delightful and knowledgeable staff. Make an appointment to visit in person or explore their collection online.”
“Books Inc. is a very cool bookshop located in terminal two of San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The decor is warm and inviting, there are literally thousands of books ranging from children’s, teenager, to adult. Books of almost any genre are available. They also sell toys and stuffed animals for the kids. Great place to stop by if you’re ever in the airport and are looking for a good Red. I recommend.”
“They have quite a few items in stock so I can usually find what I need. This time I needed a special order and the staff person was very helpful and very patient.”
“I love this bookstore! The items are very reasonably-priced and there's a great variety of inventory in the store (gift items, Bibles, greeting/note cards, a really cool selection of Christian rings, etc.). I like the wide selection of books and Children’s Bibles (for all ages) in the children's section of the bookstore. Well worth a visit!”

“Very sad that Barnes and nobles is shutting down. I had to walk around the building to get to the entrance. I should've brought my walker. Got some good deals”
