Adobe is best. For the past three years I have consistently come to adobe to hang out and connect with my community. There is always a good book, a good convo or good time in general whenever I pull up to this bookstore. Art shows are always interesting and music events bring a cool crowd. Stoked to witness the beauty that is adobe books and it community it cultivates there. Come check it out and be curious of what it can offer you

Adobe books is a special place that always brings community together. I have thoroughly enjoyed many of the community art events and workshops that they put together and host every month! Adobe has a wide collection of eclectic books and comics as well, which can be super helpful when buying a special gift for someone special or when you want to treat yourself with a new fun read! It is such a fun and cozy place to see art, read books, and spend you afternoon talking with friends and your community!

Has a plethora of events including concerts art shows and literary events. Had some comfy couches that are covered in dog hair. Staff needs to be more professional (the dude at the front desk was dropping nonstop Fbombs with his friend and had no interest in my existence as a customer) and more knowledgeable about books. Space often just seems cluttered without any sense of purpose or organization. The "new arrivals" cart seems like a mishmash of books that no one wants...which also describes huge chunks of the store stock. Dog Eared Books on Valencia has a better organized/curated selection of used fiction.

disappointed by how rude the staff was. this shop was actually recommended by my dad, so while i was in sf i figured i'd pay it a visit. i was very excited to look for a book i've been meaning to get, unfortunately they didn't have it. but what made me give 1 star was the rude staff: i took a photo to show my dad i had visited the bookstore and as i was taking it, the guy at the front asked us to "not take photos for social media." while trying to explain, he interrupted to reiterate. i would've understood if he had asked for us to not take photos, but he said it in a way that implied we were just there for a photoshoot, which was very condescending and unwelcoming. it honestly ruined the experience for me. such a bummer because the store is very lovely.

A lovely lovely little bookstore in the Mission district. Great vibes, and they had a cool pottery fundraiser with lots of handmade unique pots. Nice selection of cheap/free books outside too, and purchases come with a free bookmark with a cool design!

Seemed nice, but I got kicked out for not wearing a mask. Hasn’t happened to me in more than a year, so I was surprised.

Cute little neighborhood bookstore. Not a huge selection, but fun for browsing. There is a small art gallery in the back.

Currently there is an art show featuring a fraud in their gallery from an artist with the Instagram handle: m.s.arter This 'artist' has stolen work and this work is being sold. That work is not owned by m.s.arter or the gallery and should be taken down. - That is some illegal moves. The gallery was not initally aware of this, but they are now.

Was conned by an artist posing as Jake Ricker. Once Jake found out, he informed the gallery. The gallery refused to remove the fake solo show. Hope they do the right thing in coming days and are more investigative in booking shows.
