8401 Pioneer Blvd, Whittier“That’s fine, but just to let you know, I don’t like being accused for something I didn’t do, I don’t report stuff to my bank, because God doesn’t appreciate that.
But, you also have very good customer service.”
“Justin does it again. This is such an awesome community service. I have to stop myself from piling up books to read. And I now buy books because I leave them here when I am done.”
“Definitely a go to spot for recovery tokens and milestone tokens. As for selection, old school tokens mostly however they are super willing to order the “Bling” tokens for you. Kristi and Ken recently took over the store after the passing of the other owner so their hands are very full. They are really friendly and have every intention of listening to what everyone has to say and the small things they hear people say and say in time will have the store brought up to date. In the meantime it’s completely full of wonderful things for everyone”

6703 Comstock Ave, Whittier“This is my family’s favorite bookstore. We’ve found many great vintage children’s books at decent prices. The staff is friendly, and the environment is inclusive.”
“This is the most well-stocked metaphysical store i've been to in the LA OC area! Rhapsody is always been welcoming and I always shop here for my metaphysical needs. I went Sage Goddess the other day and she charged $10 for 10 grams of gold copal but I was able to get 2 ounces or 56.699 grams for $3! Her prices are unbeatable and by far the most reasonable and accessible! I will keep shopping here for my metaphysical need”
“Great little bookshop. Good chats with owner & customers. New & used books. Closed on MONDAYS!!! I will be going back every chance I get when I visit Long Beach to housesit nearby.”
“My husband and I have been going to this toy store for a bit over five years now. The owners have given us so many great suggestions for our niece and nephew. We love how much effort they put into decorating their store and knowing what’s popular for every age. They have been wonderful people to get to know through the years. And now that we’re expecting a kid, we cannot wait to get even more things from them! Also, their book selection is getting better and better — I love that they have a wide selection of bilingual books!”
“Amazing Islamic book selection, and whatever they don't have, they don't mind ordering and shipping to you. I drive all the way from Chico CA (9 hours away) just to get my books from here. They have everything from kids educational books for parents, or series for teacher, to serious texts for college level Islamic studies.
Friendly staff and very helpful!”
“Very adorable bookstore. A classic environment with a great selection of books. One of my favorite bookstores this side of the Mississippi!!! Definitely check it out!”
11AM - 4PM
1855 Freeman Ave, Signal Hill“Used books and collectibles here. I found one of my most prized books here. An Aorcraft yearbook for 1929. I also bought a 1958 owners glovebox manual for a Corvette. A great place to shop and there is a large antique mall next door.”
“It’s been many a years since I’ve visited the hideout since being away at battle. Upon walking back in recently I was greeted with warm smiles and even some fresh crab cakes and milk. The atmosphere was magical and the men helping were helpful with their exquisite help. The place was clean, the comics were vast and plentiful and the toilet worked as expected. I knew I would leave with a plentiful bounty and at least 3 more crab cakes. The owner Glynness was dancing and singing to the other guests and they tossed roses and gold coins at her feet and Barrack Obama was there. I was unable to retrieve an autograph due to the excessive line but the simple glance she gave me very well may change the course of my life. The only negative I have to say was that her husband Jonathon was not there because I waited years to see this dashing man carved from marble. I needed to tell him that his workout advice sent me tumbling down a trail of muscle and attention from the lady’s I’ve never seen, if it were not for him I wouldn’t have been able to save all those babies on that plane. To say the hideout changes lives isn’t enough, I vote the Comic Book Hideout for president 2024.”

1240 W Whittier Blvd Suite A, La Habra“Jacqueline was so kind and helpful to all the guests! So many wonderful statues, gifts, Holy Water....Great and Peaceful vibe! I got some complimentary gifts with my purchase. If you are Catholic and live in La Habra/Whittier, this is the spot! Keep the faith”

The quality is very good and can be read for a long time! And the delivery speed is super fast. I look forward to receiving it every time.”
“I have been to Barnes and Noble hundreds of times and I never get tired of it.
What makes this Barnes and Noble so unique is that this store has their very own Starbucks Cafe. Unlike most B&N stores, this one has Cupcakes, Mac and Cheese, Cookies, Grilled Cheese and Chocolate Brownies just to name a few. The store also has amazing drinks like this limited edition drink that is shown below.
I like how the store renovated. Looks like if the store has just opened for the first time.
The staff members were nice and resourceful. Never get tired of seeing them.
The book section is nice and labeled. Easy to find books based on your personal taste.
The downside is that the renovation has limited the spaces for physical media, vinyls and CDs. For example, there were tons of Criterion movies back in the day. Now, it’s just limited to one section.
Overall, this B&N store is amazing and never gets old.”
“For anyone reading this message, I'd love to tell you about my preferred catholic bookstore St Joseph on Lincoln Ave! This store has anything and EVERYTHING you are possibly looking for as religious needs come and go! The stuff is very fairly priced and holds a lot of sentimental importance to me! Especially Debbie! It's such a treat to see her every time I walk in to the store!! She is the best when it comes to handling customers' needs! I HIGHLY recommend this bookstore!”
“Outstanding selection and great customer service. I go here to pick up warhammer 40k, ASOIAF minis, and acrylic paints like vallejo, citadel, a&k, proacryl, two thin coats, and army painter speedpaints. They are a rare store because they actually do discounts on gw products.I have lately been regularly looking at their consignment section for even more discounted minis.”
“A community staple and one of my favorite places on 4th street. I especially love the bookstores organization by AAPI authors and the likes. Check out their Kubo lb location also!”
“We love Chess Palace. This is a place for people that are serious about learning to play chess well. The open play nights are amazing. Players from six to eighty gather for the opportunity to play a lot of games with a lot of different skill levels and learn while having fun. We love this space they've created for chess players.”

141 W Wilshire Ave # A, Fullerton“A really cute ma & pa shop. A Fullerton staple, most definitely! The shop really is half off (check the original price heheh) and they have a ton of different genres. I’ve been many times and they have foreign books all the time. Recently, I went during a fire sale, where they sell used books very cheap. I got books on drawing, culture, comics, etc.. it was honestly a great bargain. Support a local business and stop on by!”
“I love Booktown! Thomas, the owner, is so knowledgeable and helpful when you need something. But, he leaves you to browse in peace. Prices are very reasonable, and he has a good selection in most areas. Booktown is the place I go first!”

5535 E Spring St, Long Beach“A fantastic local bookstore! I'm absolutely gutted that they're closing at the end of June!
Please come and support them while you can! Currently, their inventory is 30% off.
They have plenty of 1st editions and a friendly shop kitty too!
The person behind the counter was extremely friendly and helpful!
Plenty of free parking in the lot behind the store!”
“I am so glad I stopped by!! It was a beautiful experience! The store owner is very nice and welcoming. I am not Muslim nor Arabic, so I was a little nervous to ask for The Quran. However, he was welcoming and gave me lots of information to help me pick a Quran. I appreciate the openness, made me eager to learn and felt comfortable in the shop. Thank you for the knowledge and great experience!”

6049 E 7th St, Long Beach“Jazmine at the Customer Service Department is great. She assisted me with all my concerns and even remembered my face when I came back. Thank you for a great experience at the Bookstore”
“I've been buying ashitaba tea here for nearly 10 years. I moved out of state during the pandemic, but still order online from them. Many online retailers of ashitaba tea only sell the 1.41 oz packets, but Tu Luc sells 2.5 oz for a good price. The customer service has always been fantastic and the owner was always a very pleasant man. I'll keep ordering from them.”

I saw Pororo books that I know my baby would love!”

“The selection of many different items is wonderful. The owners & staff are very helpful and kind. I found everything I wanted, and I'm fairly sure if they don't have what you want, they will order it for you. The store is small but the arrangement is good and the store is clean. I enjoyed my visit there and will be going back, thank you!”
“Ordered another ministry book and the process was very simple. I have ordered both on line and over the phone. Ordering is easy- user friendly. Person working the bookstore this morning was knowledgeable (sorry I didn’t get your name) and helpful.I will be purchasing again! Much food (Christ) to be experienced and enjoyed! There is never a shortage of food (Christ)!!!”
