“Last Wednesday I was out and about basically reminiscing. Touching the walls, bricks , the structure of these buildings are going to last forever. This store... kindness of this woman asked for me to come in. The door opens the smell ????...then..?️?️.. anxieties went right out the door and I removed my footwear, habit! Then sat right down on the stairs best seat in the house breathing in calmness..then to say Out loud " this is a safe place to be". You smell it, promise You'll feel..it. Do yourself a favor? Go there and see for you may just find a book? That was meant just for You..”
“Love this store! It's nice to have a place to go to and get books! Lots of selections and this place has a place to sit and grab coffee and food. The staff are very friendly and helpful!”
“The place is small, but I love their book curation process! They provide statements on cards for some curated books. There's a room in the back for community events like workshops or classes. Located in central Kaimuki, you can easily find nearby coffee shops. The place is very accessible by bus, and the staff are humble and appreciative.”
“The staff is incredibly humble and accommodating. I didn't have enough coins to pay for my purchase, but they graciously let it slide. You can genuinely enjoy your time there without any interruptions from the staff. The selection of literature and language books is rare and captivating, making you want to buy them all.”

“Great selection, nice people, amazing prices. Also they have art for sale at very attractive costs. The only reason I give 4 stars and not 5 is I bought a book here and went to the library and as I left the red alarm beeped and I was told that they had to search my bag. Embarassing that it seemed as if I was stealing books. The book was in fact one I had purchased here that was still checked out. I would hope they would check such things before sale.”
“This is our volleyball playing class of 2026's daughters fantasy school. We thought we would check out the campus and pick her up some volleyball tees.
I also bought two cokes and we got a free polar bear coke ornament/stuffy.”

“This bookstore is exceptionally well-kept and clean with a well-stocked selection. It's the perfect place to go if you're looking for Sharks gear. Despite its size, this little college bookstore has just what you need.”
“I was in the store today and saw these really cute Musubi turtle stuffed animals but I left the one I bought on the airplane. Does anyone know where I can buy them online?? Great store overall!”
“I love their gold leather lanyards with scripture on them. A bit pricey at $10 a lanyard but worth it. The thermos were handcrafted and they were "whew" around $47 or more. They sell rapidograph pens (to journal with). A lot of their inspirational motifs were nice.”
