The inside is literally filled floor to wall with books and records which is a literal dream for a bookstore lover. The owner is also the nicest guy and plays some great tunes while you shop around.

The staff I've interacted with over time have all been kind, helpful, and easy to talk to without ever feeling performative or rushed. I also believe I've met the owner, who carries that same grounded, approachable energy that seems to set the tone for the whole space. What keeps me coming back is the depth and variety of what they offer. Their selection of tarot and oracle decks is extensive, and I've found several that I still use regularly. I've also purchased crystals, stones, books, and fragrances there and I've always left feeling satisfied with what I chose. The $5 books outside the store are especially special to me, since they include such a wide range that I would not have discovered on my own. Many of them look practically new, and I've ended up reading things I never would have picked up otherwise, which has been genuinely eye-opening. I also appreciate being able to gift some of those books forward. It's a place that feels like it keeps knowledge circulating in a really accessible way, and I hope it continues to stay exactly as it is for a long time.

I think this store has a very good selection of things, amazing books, nice crystals, great…read moresmelling incenses, and a variety of other items. It was a little off putting to hear though on social media the owner pretty much saying they need to stay in business so they choose to sell crystals, which are more marketable. I feel like you should be passionate about whatever you're selling, especially if it's spiritual. When I walked in, I probably don't look like the typical demographic, but I was greeted with a very flat "hello." It was my first time here, I was expecting the owner to greet me with enthusiasm or even offer to help or if I needed anything. When another customer walked in, he immediately greeted her and tried to guess her horoscope. Then as she proceeded to leave, he gave her stickers he personally made. I was there for 30 minutes. As I left, I didn't even receive a goodbye. The owner just stared at me. It made me not want to buy from this shop, I don't buy from places where the energy doesn't feel right. Wouldn't suggest people of color coming here... not sure if that was the issue or what the issue was. Also, these items are very much over priced. The cheap items looked like knockoffs I could get from Michaels. I do enjoy the book selection though, and highly recommend only coming here if you want books.

We walked in, she glared at us- I tried not to think much of it, but as she was finishing ringing me up I looked up to thank her and she was literally grimacing at me, and this was after she tried to hurriedly ring me up without even asking if I was a rewards member (I am) or anything else. I keep trying to give her the benefit of the doubt because I also work in retail, but girl just seems miserable. Literally I have NO other issues with any other employee there, everyone else has been so kind so I brought my review up to 4 stars from 3. But if you're going to give me a dirty look Jasmine, wait until I turn around. This is a smaller location but I'll continue to visit, I just really hope Jasmine isn't there- it's always uncomfortable when she is.

The emphasis at location is mainly books and I love that checkout is at the entrance unlike The Grove where it's at the very back and you have to ping pong your way through tables to exit with your purchase.

I walk in and it's such a cool vibe! This is a bookstore that carries all the Hollywood legends memoirs. I saw loads of books on people I admire that I have to come back and get when I finish the ones that ones that I just bought. The attendees were so nice and accommodating. The place felt very inviting and well lit. Although it's a small boutique type, it's still was very full with amazing content and a large variety. The prices are about the same as any other book store as well. I will definitely be back!

You can also find Japanese manga and other unique Japanese goods. Their always excellent selection includes blank books, journals, plushies, and cute tote bags. Also, some T-shirts, mugs, mood rings, and coffee mugs. I came in for adult coloring books. Immediately next door, you'll find a market specializing in all Japanese foods and sundry items. This includes fresh sushi to go and shops featuring all kinds of Japanese fast food. After shopping, you can enjoy a meal there--shop, then eat: it's a great plan. Friendly service. Easy to park!
