I can't say enough good things about the store and the people that work there (shout out to you Jo! and cashier and chief gift wrapper-didn't get her name sadly) I've only been there once before for a short time. I went yesterday with my dog (who was quite vocal that day) and we were embraced wholeheartedly. I got a mass of gifts for a friend's bday among their well-curated books and other items, and they were beautifully wrapped. The team also showered my dog with attention and snacks. and I felt like I was treated with such care. The store has such a homey, cozy, and lovely vibe! I will definitely be going back!

Such a lovely coffee shop with a bookstore attached to it. Tons of natural lighting and the shop allows you to read inside. They also have simple drinks but unique pastries! Tea cake is my absolute fav along with their drip coffee :)

No bathrooms. No customer bathroom. From 5 star to 2. No customer bathroom but they have great coffee and books. It LOOKS like an awesome place to hang out, bring the kids, beautiful outdoor seating but seriously NO RESTROOM???

A cute place to hang out and read. The outdoors space is nice and clean with plenty of seating. I found the espresso to be sour tasting.

Super cute cafe with assorted types of coffee and teas (hot and cold), and a small number of pastries. You come here though to get a drink and browse the books. There's a really nice variety of books from small and local authors. There's also some gorgeous seating areas in the back in a garden-type enclosure. We picked up a range of drinks and snacks and spent an hour sitting out back talking. Once done, buy a book or four on your way out. This place is well worth keeping around.

The seasonal coffee was so good! It had orange and cardamom but I love when I can taste the orange and I could totally taste the orange zest! It was a cute place especially the garden. The book selection was ok but I love the concept of coffee and pastries at a bookstore.

Such a cute little cafe and bookstore near the beach! They had a great selection of books, wrapping paper , stickers and enamel pins! My friend purchased a book and a couple stickers. It's so quaint and cozy in there and smells of fresh brewed coffee. I got a piece of the espresso cake to take home and it was awesome! Not too sweet and not bitter either. We both really enjoyed it a lot. Everyone working was kind, pleasant and eager to help you find what you're looking for. Love to see a small shop like this thriving!

Lovely little bookstore in the Outer Sunset. I enjoyed how it's a curated selection of books, so you don't feel overwhelmed by the volume. The space is airy and bright, and the outdoor area is also peaceful. Perfect stop when you're in the area -- if you find a good book, you could buy and continue reading at Ocean Beach!

Great stop on a morning walk with my pup. Clean, simple, great service with a smile. Parking is fairly easy, depending on time of day. Very close to Ocean Beach to watch the waves, take a walk or sit on a bench.

Beautifully remodeled with an inviting outdoor space, all done with simple artistry. A forward thinking manager chooses books which expands the readers horizons. Pleasant personal and good coffee. A welcoming space in our increasingly gentrified neighborhood.

My family and I stopped in here after a nice dinner across the street and I was blown away with how lovely it is! The store has a warm, positive energy you have to feel by going in. Thank you Shannon for your brief description of Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. I just finished it without the recommendation I may have simply passed it up. The staff is wonderful, the coffee is amazing, and I can't wait to go back <3

Delicious matcha latte and pastries in a bookstore! Perfect local shop to buy gifts for my friends and family.

My friend and I had just finished eating lunch at Hookfish across the street, and were walking around the neighborhood after. She recommended checking out the bookstore across the street, and I'm so glad we did! This is a fantastic bookshop, very cozy, modern, and nicely curated. I really enjoy that they have a "Bay Area fiction" section, in addition to cookbooks and food related books, to children's books and even early reader books. For such a small shop, it does carry a lot of content, and is organized so nicely. They also have a cute relaxing garden outside, and a Cafe in front that serves Four Barrel coffee. There is also an upstairs Kids Loft, which I didn't get the chance to explore, but next time. Great service too. They also have a rewards program, buy $100, get $10 back! I ended up buying a cute children's baby book, "Counting with Wayne Thiebaud" - how perfect to read to my daughter! Love the SF touches!!

Not bad coffee. Not a large book selection. One table to sit at. Really cute store that doesn't seem to know what it wants to be. It's put together in a way where you don't have a reason to stay. They have a kids book section.

The vibes here are just amazing. You gotta go. A cafe AND a bookstore. My two favorite things. Oh and there's a super cute patio out back where they have story time for families and kids. So glad I found this place and can't wait to come back
