“Adorable small book shop that's the best in the area. Nice staff, fancy and welcoming interior, and good selection in both fiction and non-fiction. Lots of well-known titles, as well as a few really special lesser-known ones.”

“I want to give 5 stars but a employee (Brett) was just so inappropriate I must be true to myself:I was excited entering the store because it felt so welcoming and it was my first time brining my daughter to a book place. We browsed for fun activity games and books safe for kid. There is a cafe and well worn benches to sit and read I’m guessing. The customers were diverse the day I visited all good people tall short jewish Asian all type. Although I had a strange and disappointing encounter with someone said to be the manager (Brett), I will revisit. Maybe he will have received some training or move on to another job cause he ain’t it. He was hovering around me and invading my personal space saying he was doing his job. I eventually moved to a less private area because I felt uncomfortable. Lucky my daughter was busy playing in the kids past.Another customer approached me and told me she saw and heard everything. She said she wanted to make sure I was okay. I truly appreciated it she was so warm to me and nice to meet. She then reported him to a kind woman with long hair working nearby. I also spoke with her. Another employee (Joel) was super kind and helpful too.It’s not what I expect from Barnes and Noble but since the pandemic, there’s a mixed bag of nuts out there. Good parking and a nice little local spot. Worth a visit.”

“Super helpful staff, it is my tradition now to go to this bookstore every year for one of my hardest to buy for (books at least) friends. Every recommendation they have ever given me has been excellent, and well received by the birthday girl! I also Treated the extensive New Yorker cartoon card collection! And there’s always cute little gifts at the register to buy. The free gift wrapping is also great!”

“This bookstore is in an universe of its own. Each genre was like a world you could escape into. It multi-leveled and maze like. I really enjoyed the local selection San Franciscan books and the children's section. The children's section consisted of books that I would be able to find elsewhere. Not you typical Eric Carle or Dr. Seuss.”
