Philippine Expressions Bookshop is a unique store dedicated to books that focus on the Filipino experience. It offers the largest collection of works by Filipino authors, making it a rare and valuable space for those interested in Filipino culture. The shop is considered a gem and is highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Filipino literature and culture. Nearby, there is a museum showcasing Filipino culture, which is also worth visiting before it closes soon. The store has limited hours, and the purchasing process can be slow, as staff manually look up books and write receipts. Customers are advised to call ahead and plan their visit accordingly. The shop is a perfect destination for Filipino books, including language learning materials like Tagalog words for children. Overall, Philippine Expressions Bookshop is a special place to support and celebrate Filipino culture, despite some logistical challenges.
An amazing selection of new and old Philippine centered writings. There are sections for the diaspora, children's books, women-writers, men-writers, and many more! Cedric who was working the store while we visited was kind, helpful and very friendly.

This is such a cool bookshop that has books that focus on the Filipino experience. Spaces like this are so rare and this spot is a gem! I highly recommend visiting it (also visit the museum that also showcases Filipino culture next to it since it’s apparently closing soon).
