“Lovely store and an institution for children books, toys etc al. They arrange great reading and social events for kids, which help develop love for books. Also great for connecting with parents of similar age group children.
Location is perfect.
Has free parking nearby.”
“What a delightful place! If you are in Bay Area and love books, I cannot recommend Kepler's enough.
Thank you to kind, supportive and incredibly amazing team for all they do to make this place a bibliophile's haven. 🙂”
“ive been going to linden tree since it opened (when i was a child!) and im still always awed by the kind and thoughtful touches around the store. for instance they have the most child friendly restroom i’ve ever been in. we are lucky to have you in los altos!”
“Special book lover/collectors: you will love this store. So many hidden gem, 2 stories, books of all genre and topics, few in diffrent languages too, books from 1800's..the pages and leather worn out, poetry (not just Rumi), this gem here for sale for $500. You can get lost here. Support community and local business where you can!”
“If you love the hunt for a great book, B Street Books is the place. Even with the move to Burlingame, this is still my go-to for unique and obscure finds. The selection is wonderful and the staff is the perfect mix of expert and hands-off—they let you browse in peace but are there when you need them. It’s a great way to spend an hour, and you’ll inevitably walk out with something special you won't find anywhere else.”
“Offers a large selection of books, a friendly atmosphere, and a strong magazine and newspaper section that adds to the browsing experience.
The staff, when I visited, were rude.”
“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”
“A lovely bookstore! I found a box of magnets, which has 16 pieces for below 20USD. Moreover, this set of magnet is way more beautiful than those common ones. Also bought one book about trader Joe’s for my flight.”
“Tons of books and other things to browse and buy. The staff are friendly and the store is we'll kept. There's plenty of parking, and you can find all the new releases you've been looking for, as well as books that you've never heard of but are sure to grab your attention.”
“Slightly hidden used bookstore in the basement of the San Mateo County History Museum and operated by volunteers to benefit the historical association.
A large selection of all types of books are well organized across many rooms. Quite a few old books may keep collectors browsing for a while. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Prices are very reasonable.”
“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.”
“Harrison was working when I arrived about 20 minutes til closing time, and he was incredibly helpful and friendly! He even kept the shop open about 15 minutes later just to chat about the book shop’s history, recommend books, and discuss other AAPI topics. 10/10 experience!”
“Been living nearby for almost six months and finally made it to Stanford to soak up the vibe of this top-tier campus! The bookstore is amazing to browse and shop. I was so surprised by all their brand collaborations—Lululemon, Nike, and even Free People! Also, their teddy bears are absolutely adorable and make the perfect gifts for little ones.”

“I walked in right after they closed and the volunteer still let me browse for ten minutes ... that was really nice of her honestly, im glad she did that becuase I found a great cookbook for five bucks. Most books are really cheap and they had a decent selection of fiction and some older nonfiction too, though it was a bit cramped near the gardening section. Definately check the back tables, they have bags of children's books for like a dollar each which my niece went crazy over. They also have a section of local history books that they clearly took good care of, bindings are all intact and no mold ... some of them looked almost new. The only thing I would change is the lighting in the back corner by the mystery novels, its a little dim and hard to read the spine titles. Still walked out way happier than I expected for a random wednesday, this place is worth stopping into if youre in the area.”
“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.”
“I was disappointed this time because there was not a good men collection. So I had to spend my money on kids and women clothes. But I give them 4 stars because of my previous experiences there”
“I look forward to reading the newspaper every morning. Although I also check web & TV news coverage I thoroughly enjoy old tech paper page flipping. Familiar writer's skills in the use of the written word are so much more impactful than other forms for me. I appreciate not scrolling online articles. I feel the paper does a splendid job of reporting the news in a cogent manner. Truth be told, I am not finished until I've read the comics always found on the last couple of pages which lightens any heaviness of headline news. I also, enjoy having multiple uses for the actual paper once read.”
“I have come to this Hudson News Store in San Francisco International Airport many times. Sometimes, I wanted a snack or water. Sometimes, I just want to check out the gifts or other things in there when I have to kill time at the airport! They have enough choices of snacks and drinks. Of course, the price is higher because of the airport. The store is clean and very well organized whenever I'm here. The workers at this location are friendly. The best thing about this store is they're never overly crowded.”

“I got the Cuban Sandwich. It was certainly an imitation of that food item, but why this place has 4 stars is that it's roughly 5 dollars cheaper than comparable items throughout the airport. The real move would be to bring snacks with you when you fly so you can avoid the price gouging performed by the airport.”

“San Carlos is filled with interesting shops all around. Loved checking out Reach and Teach store. They’ve got a good selection of educational toys for children, they carry some good books but a limited selection. A good place to find a unique toy or gift for someone.
Staff are very helpful and know their products well and quick to make recommendations should you ask for it. I love how they have some of the games/puzzles on display so you can try them out - and know exactly what you’re buying. Children can come and try out most of the toys before commiting to a purchase- now that’s a win-win!
Store is located along San Carlos Avenue right beside Starbucks. Best day to go is on a Sunday when there’s ample parking and there’s farmers market along Laurel St.”
