3793 30th St, San Diego“I've seen a review before saying that this place is just photo-bait for tourists, to some extent its doing that on one side, but it also incorporates itself to the community really well. I've seen some rare art books usually go for 1/2 to 3/4 of what you would find online or at other secondhand bookstores, from 1st edition Muybridge reference books to stuff by Vanderpoel. The pricing is fair enough for the curation. They also support independent publishing and consigning + local events so it wouldn't be doing as good as it is with the foot traffic that it receives without the local support.”
“This was an adorable little spot I stumbled upon thanks to TikTok while I was visiting SD. They have a huge variety and I love how organized and categorized everything was. I bought a book I had been eyeing for a while and the cutest bookmark! The staff were not very friendly, though.”
“beautifully crafted store with a welcoming and inclusive presence to all. the cats are the star of the show but there’s something for everyone at this bookstore!”

3556 University Ave, San Diego“I happened upon this charming store after a doctor appointment. So happy I did because the owners were very welcoming, knowledgeable and delightful to talk to. The store was filled with the wonderful scent of incense. This small space is filled with great reads, candles, crystals, jewelry and so much more. I will be going back for more items and a reading or two. I encourage anyone to seek this store out for their metaphysical items as you will not be disappointed.”
“Best vinyl shop in San Diego!!! Mom and Pop.. and Son shop. Not the typical stuck up attitude you get at a vinyl shop. These folks actually are extremely friendly amd helpful. A must visit, especially if you like old horror movies.”
“My favorite bookstore in San Diego. It’s the perfect spot to find something new for the reader who isn’t quite sure what to read next, because they curate their collection and place bookseller recommendations along the shelves. They aren’t a massive space and therefore will not have the same volume of books as a big-box store, but they will also order anything they don’t have in stock.”
“Out of all the book stores in the greater san diego, have to recommend this as the personal favorite. Bases are covered with a wide plethora from classics to contemporary. Cherry on top is a patrolling gorgeous and friendly cat.”
“It is an incredible place, you find many things in addition to an infinite number of books, magazines, comics, accessories, records, all kinds of board games, toys and even coffee inside in case you want a delicious drink, this incredible place I loved it ?”

3817 Fifth Ave, San Diego“One of my favorite bookstores when I lived in San Diego a few years back. Got to revisit this past week and was happy to find it still open for business and thriving. They’ve even reorganized things and I like the new setup. Great to see small business bookstores doing so well. Found some great books to add to my collection of course. And already look forward to my next visit!”
“Great book store very helpful on every topic that comes in my head it's very clean and always has a positive effect, I was able to find the perfect book that fits with my reading time for myself really recommended to everyone ?”

“Stephanie has amazing customer service and super-duper helpful. I am blessed to have had her help .Stephen(?), ( i couldn't see his name tag clearly >~<) was very nice and welcoming.”
“This is honestly the cutest bookstore ever. Although it is pricy, I do enjoy everything they have in there. Specifically had my eye on a hoodie that I had planned to purchase on payday, and I couldn’t believe how fabulous the customer service was from the ladies that work there. Specifically Raquel. I’m not sure if I’m spelling her name right, but she went above and beyond to make sure I got everything I needed and gave me an awesome shopping experience.”

330 Park Blvd, San Diego“This is a must go place among many other attractions in San Diego. In fact, it got to be in the top 10 list for being such a splendid and magnificent architecture in the heart of San Diego, offering a place for book lovers, knowledge seekers etc. There are multiple levels with a huge collection of books, computers, secluded areas to focus on one's work and beautiful views of the beautiful city. There is also an auditorium for various types of events adjacent to a small open area. Parking is nothing to worry about. Come, park and enjoy this luxury.”
“They have the cheapest used books I have seen in San Diego so far! I bought a novel that was pretty much new for 2$, and one that was signed by the author for 4$. Otherwise, most books are between 1-2$.”
“It's probably because the school year is barely starting, but their stock was a bit low. In the apparel there's not the necessary variety of styles, colors and sizes for a campus that big, and boy is the clothing awesome!!!!.(plus great clearance prices) The baseball hats, the beannies, cool t-shirts and sweatshirts.... . But the jackets.... Those are a must have for the winter weather. Hopefully in the coming weeks jackets for women will become also available.”
“Excellent selection of books that are always evolving. Whenever I need to find a book that a Big Bookstore wouldn't carry, I come here. Hidden away, this store is a diamond in the rough.”
“Geppetto's is a great toy store located in Fashion Valley plaza. It is a vintage looking boutique toy store. They have such an amazing collection of toys, puzzles and board games, craft and dolls. I always enjoy shopping there. They have a unique collection of merchandises.The service is always exceptional.”

937 Otay Lakes Rd, Chula Vista“Very kind man, went in to sell textbooks that were collecting dust and had an overall good experience. Doesn't take textbooks if they're too old but makes sense since classes usually require newer editions. Also accepts books for free if you're just trying to get rid of them.”
“Book Tree has books that can't be found in other book stores. Book Tree is always getting in old books some that are two or three hundred years old. I love reading about days gone by and how the people coped with having much less than we have access to in today's world.”

2540 University Ave, San Diego“Great scented shea butters, oils, jewelry. The Rihanna and Kush butters smelled amazing. The owner was very kind and knowledgeable while showing me around the store. They have a great book and clothing selection that sends great messages. I bought some stickers with quotes from the store. Very easy going atmosphere.”
“I love coming here. There are some items I can't find anywhere else. I like the vegetarian products that are available here also. Definitely Plenty of valuable and worthy books to read here. Bibles are available and many more books to buy for a loved one and plenty of reading material regarding the last days we are living in today. Very Grateful to have a bookstore like this for us.”

I found an old Poem book and Postcards I had been searching for my partner, vintage Manga and Novels for myself. The Owner/Operator is always kind and attentive to my needs!”
