“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”
“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….”

“Cutest bookstore around! They have everything, and the owner goes above and beyond for every customer! My boyfriend lost his wallet and called to check if it was there, it happened to be closed by then so he started leaving a message, and in the middle of the message she heard it from the back of the store and picked up and was super sweet and let us know she would call back if she found it. Thank You we will definitely be back soon 📚”
“Had some issues with my record player. The staff was awesome in immediately helping me. Righted the ship and had great selection of vinyls to add to my growing collection”
“Always a very helpful & informed staff who are eager to help. Plus a great selection of all types of entertainment media - books, comics, games, CDs, vinyl, collectibles, & board games.”
“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.”

“Cute little independent bookshop. I saw a lot of books I probably would have missed in a place like Barnes and Noble. Nice kids selection. Personal notes about books by the staff as well as recommendations. Will definitely return.”
“Always enjoy a trip to a new B&N. Nice clean and great layout. Little to no street parking. You will likely have to park on the upper levels but a few hours is free.”
“What a lovely find. The place was clean, well organized and the staff was most helpful. The used books are in good condition too. Three books for 4 dollars. We're coming back!”
“I enjoyed a calligraphy class hosted here with a lovely instructor, Carissa. The pace of the class was perfect. Carissa took one-on-one time with each participant. Beyond a bevy of supplies and practice worksheets, we were offered speciality teas, flavored waters, cookies, and sweets. Of course, the best takeaway was the personal insight on techniques, tips, and preferred tools that cannot be picked up in books or video snippets.”
“I wish it was a place to walk in but I understand. With all the new construction and amenities I want to reach out to the professors and staff. EVERY DEPT. THANK YOU”
“The best main line church. Church sponsors many programs for the homeless. Congregation leans towards the senior side but is open and welcoming. Several of Walnut Creek's founding families worship here.”
“Nice selection of CSUEB-branded clothing and misc. products for students and parents. Store was clean and well-organized and staff were friendly and helpful. Check em out!”

“A wonderful bookshop that's operated by passionate and friendly staff/owners. They are knowledgeable and well-read, and I'm sure you'll be able to find all your literary needs with them. Highly recommend checking out, even if it means going a little out of the way!”
