“We stop here every time we are in Half Moon Bay! This book store is a blast from the past for this old-time, long-time book lover. Most of these independent book stores have been forced out of business by Jeff Bezos and his steamroller of an internet store concept. This shop offers a real person who loves books to talk to! The store is well-stocked with classics and new releases. I can browse for hours here and they are happy to let you browse for hours. I always buy a couple of tempting volumes. I need to keep my pile of next reads well stacked! The value is in the whole experience! Thank you for being my favorite book store! I promise if you love books you will love this store!”

“Great used bookstore! The owner and staff are very knowledgeable, and they have many books in a large range of topics and categories. They also have a well-curated collection of vintage, antique, and collectible books. If you are looking for something specific that they do not have, they may be able to procure it for you. Take a few minutes to chat with the staff before paying - when they know what you like, they are often able to direct you to books you may not have seen or in places you may not have looked.”
“Really great and popular library! Nice high atmosphere for both quiet study spaces and conversational areas for tutoring or wfh spaces.Bathrooms pretty clean for a public library”
“Can’t believe I found this place only recently after living in the Bay Area for a long time. It’s easy to miss because you are either busy driving down route 1, or, after a long curvy road and just can’t wait to hit the beach. This place is a great place to drop by - for a nice drink or bites (the best breakfast braid made by la Honda bakery, available only on Saturday and Sunday), or books from local authors, or even children’s book. They have amazing live band sessions too, it’s just a great place to hang out.”
“I could spend all day in this Barnes & Noble. I love the sections that I'm interested in: Business, Self Study, Sports, Current Events, Study Aids. Great books for myself and for giving as gifts to friends and my old high school. The staff are friendly and courteous.”

“The staff is very friendly, and the atmosphere and design of the store create a cozy feeling, making one feel very comfortable, with bright lighting. There is a wide selection of both valuable second-hand books and new books to choose from, at reasonable prices. There are also many choices of toys for children, which is very heartwarming. The bookstore also hosts many meaningful events.”
