“This is a very peaceful and unique book shop. The inside is very well organized and has every book sorted out by the different genres. They had various home items, valentines décor, cards, gift options, and souvenirs. The kid section was super cute and had different stuffed animals, toys, and books. The view is very pretty as you can see out towards the boats / yachts. We didn't interact with the lady working and she didn't say anything to us either. It was pretty busy and a lot of people were browsing.”

“Fabulosa Books is......well........fabulous I really enjoy shopping here, They carry an extensive selection of books for the gay /LGBTQ community, as well as a selection of mainline books and best sellers. I can often find many hard-to-find and out of print book titles in the store, Fabulosa Books is an important store for San Francisco's Castro neighborhood, I look forward to stopping by often in the future.”

“An excellent source for graphic novels for school age kids, especially if you want more diversity than the typical marvel or DC approach. When I found out my 1st grader was trans, this store helped me find age appropriate books that they could see themselves in. And they in turn learned stories about brown kids, black kids, and immigrants from other graphic novels there that I would never have known existed. Staff are excellent and know their stock.”

“this place is beyond cool. if you get sad every time you go into a bookstore and the sci-fi/fant sections are sad and small, this place is the exact opposite. even if you don't typically read sci-fi/fant/horror/mystery, you could probably find something in here to change your mind. they've got all the usual suspects: dune, the expanse series, children of time, stephen king, agatha christie, etc. and then also tonnsss of other titles to discover! ps. eleanor has great taste”

“Step into the enchanting world of Kinokuniya bookstore, nestled within the bustling Japan Center mall at Japantown, San Francisco. From the moment you enter, you're greeted by a vibrant atmosphere that's as inviting as it is exciting. The first floor is a paradise for anime and manga enthusiasts, boasting an extensive collection of Japanese and English manga, art books, and anime merchandise. And don't miss the illustration by the renowned Japanese artist, Katsuya Terada, adorning the entrance. It's a testament to the store's commitment to celebrating Japanese culture and artistry, with a touch of magic added by Terada's live painting during his visit in 2013. Venturing up to the second floor, you'll discover a haven for book lovers of all kinds. Here, you'll find a diverse selection of general English and Japanese books, magazines, and gift items. Whether you're searching for a new novel to lose yourself in, a magazine to spark your curiosity, or the perfect gift for a loved one, Kinokuniya has you covered. What truly sets this bookstore apart is the variety of offerings from Japan. From literature to lifestyle, stationery to snacks, there's something to captivate every interest and taste. I often find myself getting lost in the aisles, marveling at the array of titles and treasures waiting to be discovered. But it's not just the impressive selection that keeps me coming back--it's the staff. Knowledgeable and friendly, they are always willing to offer a recommendation or answer any questions you may have. Whether you're a devoted manga fan, a curious reader, or simply seeking a slice of Japanese charm, make sure to pay a visit to this delightful bookstore. You won't be disappointed!”

“I was looking for a place that carries products aimed at cognitive enhancement (nootropics) and overall brain health and wellness (adaptogens). Drawn to the name, The Higher Consciousness, I found such supplements to elevate my mind. It's a specialty shop located in the eclectic and diverse Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. They carry a wide assortment of unique cbd, mushrooms, and plant medicines not found elsewhere, all reasonably priced. The shop owners are very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to answering questions and making product suggestions based on your specific needs. You can also find an interesting assortment of cannabis and mushroom themed books, novelties, and gifts. I've been here a few times and truly recommend this place. Nothing but good vibes and great customer service here. Thanks guys! Not to mention, it's always good to support and shop local businesses.”

“I can't say enough good things about the store and the people that work there (shout out to you Jo! and cashier and chief gift wrapper-didn't get her name sadly) I've only been there once before for a short time. I went yesterday with my dog (who was quite vocal that day) and we were embraced wholeheartedly. I got a mass of gifts for a friend's bday among their well-curated books and other items, and they were beautifully wrapped. The team also showered my dog with attention and snacks. and I felt like I was treated with such care. The store has such a homey, cozy, and lovely vibe! I will definitely be going back!”

“Legendary store. Have always enjoyed every visit here. I always find good finds each visit from all the many options to choose from here. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I love the location as it is near a restaurant I adore, Max's Opera Cafe. Peet's shares the building and entrance so that is a nice perk. Buy a book, get a beverage, sit and enjoy both. There is a parking garage with Valet service in the building. Love the many live talks with authors.”

“A great bookshop with excellent choice of books. It has all those interesting books from the past, but not many that you get swamped. Run by Volunteers of the Library. Books cost.under $10, some as low can as $3, even for a volume. The success of a bookstore is in the choice of the books.”

“This is my go-to spot for books locally. There is a warm, friendly environment. It is very neat, organized, and clean - just how I would like my own library. It is well lit with lots of good features on display. Oh, and signing events with authors! Eragon! They do have medieval fantasy titles and books too! There is a whole section dedicated to that - more geared towards young adults. But it is good to see a few Dungeons & Dragons titles here and there! If you are a local teacher, inquire about the discount! For educational staff too, I think? This is valuable and a good way to support local bookstores.”

“The Cartoon Art Museum was a lovely addition to our touring schedule for our family, including our 16 year old, a self-proclaimed Comic Con geek. The museum fueled her curious nature. A quaint little off the beaten path respite from all energy of the Wharf, we loved the reading room, and the memorabilia was well displayed. Also, the local artists featured in several areas around the museum were extremely impressive. We felt very welcomed and enjoyed seeing the mentoring going on between curator and what appeared to be a new museum employee. Overall, it was a 5 star experience. Excellent quality.”

“I was doing a walk about The Mission this early September afternoon. Medicinas para Pesadillas. Damn! Wasn’t that what I’m always looking for? I asked the staff for help selecting contemporary Mexican American literature. The thicker the better. Magical realism, dark psychologically themed short stories that make you question reality? Yes, por favor.The staff’s selections exceeded my expectations.Medicine for Nightmares indeed.”

“The has got to be the best independent bookstore in SF. It's tiny but, don't let their size fool you! I have eclectic tastes and I am able to 99.9 % of the books I need in the shop. On the rae occasion they don't have it they get it for me. Their staff is so knowledgeable, I have been able to describe a book and they figure out the puzzle. When I plan to travel, I like to read fiction that takes place in that country or town. They always provide me a selection of brilliant tomes. Whether your visiting, a tourist or, lifelong San Franciscan, you owe yourself a visit!”
