    Barista in action. Everything hanging on the wall was nicely placed.
    Richard R.

    Palm Grove Social is a very interesting cafe. Part cafe. Part art space. And most importantly, it is a place for the local community to gather. In the time we spent there today we saw all of this. Our speciality lattes were very good. We had the lavender and the miso butterscotch. Both very enjoyable. They were completely out of anything pastry related when we arrived so the 5th star will have to wait;) But the feeling of community was by far the most tangible component at Palm Grove and I'm sure that's exactly how it's supposed to be. The space is very open with lots of light. It has a bit of a gallery feel to it but certainly not in a pretentious way. Very comfortable. Nice seating along the wall on the west side. And a nice long table in the center with chairs and benches. The two proprietors were very nice and helpful. I regret that I didn't ask if they do roasting. I had a sense that they do. Well, something else for next time.

    Mid city coffee shop gem! The whole vibe of the shop inside and out is very calming, creative and LA coded. The coffee and match options are spot on with what's trending. The service was friendly and professional very your friends work at a coffee shop and your there to hang out. The music was so good a mix of 90s R&B and today's trending neo soul songs. I ordered the passion fruit matcha tonic. 7/10 for me I wish it was more sweeter with a stronger passion fruit taste. I sat outside on the patio and got lost in work for two hours. Weather and vibes were just right on a Saturday afternoon.

    Drove by and the vintage vibe and signage got me. Then I saw the A-frame sign and COFFEE so had to pull over. After a quick search, had to go in. Vibe is super cool, nice staff and made me feel like they were happy to see me. Coffee 5 stars Chickpea hand pie 5 stars Decore 5 stars Ambiance 5 stars. Super cool. Will def have my next coffee date here.

    One of the best coffee shops in Mid City! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly, the coffee is amazing, but my personal favorite is the blueberry matcha. The drinks aren't the only thing that makes me come back, it's the art and the zines. I love walking into the shop and seeing all of the gorgeous photographs and being introduced to new artists! I could go on and on about this shop, but if you're ever in the neighborhood make sure to check this gem out!

    Great roast! I had the Americano and it's a hit. My first time here and I'm hyped to come back to try other drinks. They have a cool setup inside. Somewhat limited seating but open space. Service was good. Very brief interaction in the am. Ambiance: A Drinks: A Parking: B- Location: C Service: A

    I was thrilled when this coffee shop opened a few years ago. They have a small selection but the staples. The baristas are friendly and they carry a variety of pastries. If you're here for lunch they do carry salads and sandwiches as well. Their patio are is so cute and feels like a little oasis outside of the busy city.

    I am so lucky PGS opened nearby. It's part of my Sunday routine to stop in for a cappuccino and a pastry. The beans are independently sourced and the whole milk is with Clover brand leaving the coffee drinks smooth and creamy. I don't know how PGS does it but a drink is still under $5 which is rare nowadays. The pastries are from a local vendor, serving some of the other small coffee shops around here, such as Neighborhood. Everything is delicious, including the croissants (if you go early enough you can get a kimchi spam one), cookies, muffins and donuts. Follow PGS on Instagram. They have pop up events with local vendors, donation based yoga, and more.

    Paid for a strawberry matcha not a hint of pink

    Cute space, a little dissapointing I didnt get what I ordered for. Otherwise, cute quiet space to take a beat.

I could, she said, but with temperatures approaching 100 degrees and the possibility of walking through some seriously uncharming blocks, she suggested that I might not wish to. I walked there anyhow and all was fine. The Last Bookstore is quite a treat, especially if you take the time to head to the second floor. It's on this floor where you'll find a plethora of intriguing artwork as well as a mind-boggling array of used books. What else might you find? A porthole constructed of books, a tunnel constructed of books, and a sitting room where you'll be surrounded by books about infamous murderers. (I might be wrong on that last one, but while I sat in that room, those were the books I saw). There's so many used books up there that I found myself having to move a stack of books just to get to the stack behind it that I wanted to root through. Thousands upon thousands of used books and yes, I did make a purchase. Coming back down to the main floor it was impossible not to notice the concert happening on a big platform in the center of the place. Couches surround the area and for a short while I sat and enjoyed the show. Soon I was asked to move as they were reconfiguring things for a sound bath experience being offered shortly (unlike the concert, the sound bath was not free). So there's a ton of stuff going on here and the place is something to see and experience. I'd not make a special trip here were I not somewhat nearby but if you're in the Arts District, Little Tokyo, or heading to Grand Central Market, you're rather nearby and The Last Bookstore is a great place to explore.

The store used to be located on the 2nd floor of the Weller Court Shopping Center just above Marukai Market, but the bookstore recently reopened in a new space just across from the Weller Court Shopping Center in June 2026. The new space is twice as large as the previous space and this is currently the second largest Kinokuniya store in the United States. [Parking]: Aiso Parking Garage is across the street from the bookstore, but unfortunately it is now $1 per hour for the first two hours and $5 for each additional hour with a daily maximum of $18. $6 flat rate after 5 PM. [Selection]: The bookstore combines books, stationery, and gifts all in one place. There is a permanent corner for Studio Ghibli items with two giant plushies - Jiji from Kiki's Delivery Service and Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro. The bookstore has an incredible S-tier art book selection with sample books available for visitors to flip through those pages. There is also a section of the bookstore for a pop-up exhibit and the July exhibit corner was showcasing special commemorative illustrations and comments from Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. [Conclusion]: Look some of the books they sell here will be a bit more expensive than just buying them online, but the quality of the selection here is absolutely top-notch. This is one of those bookstores where anime enthusiasts can wander around for more than an hour and browse through English/Japanese manga, magazines, and anime merchandise.

As an indie bookstore, you are offered a variety of items: cards, books, Knick knacks, magazines, and more. I think the best part of this bookstore is that they have a study area located in the back of it. Combined with the study area is a coffee shop that also sells beer. How cool is that! I was hesitant to sit at the bar since we were in a time crunch, but h would have loved to enjoy it. There were numerous patrons sitting around and having conversations and enjoying their beverages.

My Mom and I got a few items (a small version of Macbeth, socks, mug, etc.). Staff were pretty polite but a little awkward, I think they're on high-alert for shoplifters. The store was neat and tidy.

While in Korea, I didn't know that Incheon Airport would have shipping boxes for excess luggage, so when I thought I would be limited by just the space I left for souvenirs and other gifts in my bags, I could've bought all seven Harry Potter books. As you can tell by the town I'm in, I'm in the Bay Area. Here in the Bay, we don't have a lot of Korean bookstores, and the one I could find here didn't really focus on fiction/fantasy books. I found this place after searching the internet for "Korean bookstores in LA/SoCal." I called and asked the staff if they had Harry Potter. They said they didn't, but they told me that if I found some store back in Korea that had what I was looking for, they told me to email them the link or something and then they would order the books for me. When I pointed out that by that logic, if I could find a book by myself and then pay for the store to mail the books directly to me, customs and all, then I'd just be doing their job. The employee told me to "take it or leave it," and they acted completely shocked that I did leave.
