I was looking for books about birds. And this place didn't disappoint me. I was also asked (as a favor) to get One Nation Under Blackmail, but only the Vol.1 was readily available. Then, the store owner was kind enough to help me get the Vol.2. The estimated arrival of the said book was 2-3 days. It arrived just the day after my request. What a service. They got a handful of books about birds, but there's not much space in my luggage. But still, I had to choose two from the stack. One was on sale, so it was a steal. I just couldn't pass it up.

Great selection and I love how they organize and display their collection! They also have a few sale tables in the back that cut the price of some really phenomenal books in half! Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and they have some really cute store bookmarks. Very pleasant experience, and it's right by a Peet's Coffee. Definitely recommend pairing your new book with a tasty beverage of your choice.

Lovely place. It is linked to Peet's entrance, so your can get your book and go read it with a nice cupa. Staff does a great job putting together theamed book displays. And all the little extras like journals, stuffed toys, greeting cards are nice.

An excellent store with superb titles to suit all readers of all age groups. The staff is very helpful and extremely well read. Cafe next door might offer a discount too if you picked a book or two and sipped coffee. The cafe has wifi. You could do some online searches.

An all-around great book store with good selection of books, cool stationary, magazines, cards etc. Very helpful, knowledgeable staff. Authors and other literacy events are hosted in-store as well. Last but not least, is their up-to-date, user-friendly Website noting new book releases, events etc. Located next to Peet's Coffee, it's a book/coffee lover's dream come true.

Nice shop. Bigger and quite a lot more books than you'd expect from the shops' photo.

They had poems for sale once upon a time. My wife and I bought two and to this day we have them on our wall!
