“I am really enjoying my time here. God was so faithful in bringing me here. I am a commercial music major, and the smaller class sizes overall in the music department have been a blessing in us getting more instructor help. One of my music professors has super gone out of his way for me too, like zoom calling when I've needed sight singing help, and even driving to school in the evening one day to help me with a music tech assignment. My other music professors have been open, invitational, and available for office hours and email questions too. I really appreciate how overall the Conservatory of music is humble at Biola, and that they incorporate Jesus into what we do and bringing Him glory through our art, yet striving to be excellent in that at the same time with our music. I am also in Torrey, and WOW. It is such a rich learning experience. I've been learning how to discuss with others on different types of books, whether it's the Bible, book by C.S. Lewis, or books by non Christian authors who have very different beliefs. We look at different perspectives, discuss what a book is talking about, yet still hold to Biblical views. The Torrey professors are wonderful overall, they put you with a mentor, and mine (Dr. Henderson) is awesome. I love the socratic model Torrey enforces, the writing, and my cohort has awesome people in it, who even with being from different places, including different states, having different personalities, love Jesus and respect each other overall. All my professors have been investing in their students in some shape or form, and overall they really care about student's character. I came from a public high school, and while I appreciate experiences I had there, it was super different than Biola. It feels so nice to have a hugely increased number of teachers and peers that really overall treat me with the love of Jesus, including kindness. I have never seen a place where so many people treated others like they are made in God's image. It's definitely not perfect, I have seen students say and do things they shouldn't here and there, but overall, it has been wonderful, people overall are really kind and welcoming. Biola is a beautiful model of Biblical unity amidst diversity. I've also really enjoyed how they try to celebrate different ethnicities there. The school is super Christ-centered. I thought the chapels and teaching here would be like baby Christian milk, but while there is milk, there is also meat. Good balance, especially for so many different people at different places in their walks with God. Overall, great commuter community, the collegium is a blessing. Finally, a shout out to campus security. I commute, and my car needed to be jumpstarted one time. They literally have a jump start kit in the office. The other day also, I didn't realize it, but my tire was flat, and turns out there was a nail in it. I got a call from campus security about it, saying that a Residential Director saw it and called it in, and they wanted to let me know so I wouldn't drive away with it. I appreciate the 24/7 campus security line, the phone operators are so friendly overall, and I appreciate cs driving around campus, including at night, and keeping watch, too. I'm glad that campus security, and people on this campus, are looking out for me. So blessed that Jesus has got my back, and He has been using the people here at Biola in doing that.”
“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)!!!”

“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.”
“The best shop to buy all the stuffs for baby and young kids! Fast shipping and high quality All Chinese books for children are bought from yo baby. 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.”
“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”
“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!”

“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!”
“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.”
“What an amazing place to find book treasures for all ages! Whether you’re shopping for your child, yourself, or your grandparents, you’re sure to find something you love. And you absolutely can’t beat the price!”
“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.”
“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!”

“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!”
“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.”
“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”
“Great little gem loaded with all kinds of gifts, books, and other Christian products. Both in English and Spanish. I searched all over for a particular "Footprints " poem, and they had it there. Caring and friendly staff. Highly recommend you go there.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Haven't been to Barnes& Noble in years! I didn't think it would be busy considering all of the digital books available these days. But this place was slammed. They don't match any other stores so I would recommend searching Amazon and eBay before purchases.”
“I visited Titan Shops frequently when I attended CSUF. They have a wide selection of Titan merchandise, including shirts,hats,mugs, and jackets. The service here is pretty good as well. It's located near the TSU and Titan Walk. If you are looking for a place to buy CSUF merchandise at a good value with friendly employees, this is a good place to visit”
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“I feel so sad about the sudden passing away of Fr. Perez, he started this church. But his death did not amount to nothing. It only flourished more the old traditional way of saying Mass. I have been Blessed by meeting good priests here too the likes of which is Fr. Starbuck and others, I have been thankful to God that there’s one like this in Orange County, truly a gem!! Hope to see more faithful flocking here. God bless!”
“Its a beautiful church I love it every one was really nice and very Polité the spirit of God is there ?? a perfect church for my family to worship God ?? so happy I found this amazing church ??”

“Awsome. I didn't know that there is a Christian book store around my block! !!! ! ! ! I got a question, does this store sells Action Bibles? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? for how much do you sell them for? ?? ? ? ? ? ? Because I've been looking for this book for a long, long, long time. And I been trying to look for one at Barnes and Noble book store, but I couldn't find it anywhere at that store. so.?.... do you? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? hehehehe.”
“One of my all time favorite places in California (I am aware there are other locations in other states)! They may not always have the exact movie I came in looking for, but ooh, that's a movie I need! This location is probably my favorite. The staff is so super sweet, never had a single issue with a single employee in the store. Now, a word of caution, it's very easy to spend a lot of money in a store such as this place, but not because the prices are high, but because you find so much you want/need.”
