The people working there are so friendly and helpful. I was looking for Lee Child books and they…read moretold me to go online to order the ones they didn't have. I did and picked them up in a day. The prices are reasonable per book $4-$5. Some of them were hardbacks. All were in very good condition

Very well organized bookstore and cheap! Obviously price varies depending on how popular the book…read moreyou're interested in is. I saw books as low as $2 but some of the more popular closer to $8. In total I got 3 books for $13 and they were popular titles. There's 2 hour free street parking right outside and a courtyard you can stop and read your book in. I will be coming back.

This is one of my favorite Barnes & Noble locations to visit when I'm in Walnut Creek. The store is…read morevery spacious with a great selection of books. I really like that the lower level is mostly dedicated to kids and teens, but also includes a large selection of vinyl records, CDs, DVDs, and movies. There's even a cute little choo-choo train where kids can sit and read, which is such a nice touch. The store has two entrances and two separate checkout areas, which helps a lot on busier days. Service is always good, and the staff is consistently helpful when it comes to searching for specific books. A well-organized, welcoming location that I always enjoy stopping into.

This visit was a lot better than our last. On a drizzly, Monday evening, not very many visitors and…read morewe were able to breathe and enjoy the books in each section. The kids area was quiet with just a few parents/grandparents reading to their kids, young adult section had a few making selections and the front upper section of the store were sporadic visitors selecting books of their choice. The place was clean and the young lady greeted us upon entrance. Definite plus since the last time. As always, there's a sale and specials, we purchased more books again! This was a successful visit and I can recommend coming here during this time.

I haven't been in years, but this bookstore is excellent. It's got a lot of items that you likely…read morewon't find easily at any other bookstore, at least not in the area. The service was helpful. A lot of the items aren't cheap, but they are proved fairly.

What an awesome book shop!

They also buy! There's a nicely-stocked kids area, and clean bathrooms as well. Friendly service too. If you're interested in different editions (Easton Press, Illumicrate, FairyLoot, etc.), there's a special section, but sometimes they have them in the regular shelves. While the prices are certainly lower than retail for these editions, they are about on par with what you could find on eBay. Still, it's nice to be able to see and hold the editions first!

​This is one of my favorite used book stores in Contra Costa County. When I'm in the area, I try…read moreto stop by to check out their inventory. Other patrons often leave bags of donations, so the shelves are stocked frequently. The store is well organized, with all the categories clearly labeled. The store is always clean and each item is clearly priced on the bag. There is a little of everything in this store, between fiction, non-fiction and children's books, as well as a decent selection of games. Along the front wall are a selection of coffee table and new(ish) books, and in the middle are tables with seasonal or topical books (including a table with President Jimmy Carter's biographies soon after he passed away). Most books are priced around $5 or less, and very few items are more than $10. On our last visit, my wife and I purchased 6 books and paid less than $30 total. There is a parking lot on site, and the volunteer staff are always very friendly and helpful.

This record store in Walnut Creek has got a lot going for it: they've got a large selection of…read morerecords in the front room and an equally large selection of budget/used records in the side room, to the left, when you walk in (that's where the real treasures are). They have live music upfront, as well as a dedicated performance space in the back of their store. They also had a great selection of free stickers that we saw on our way out. And they sell skateboards and skate paraphernalia. The only downside, which is the case for most modern records stores, is the prices reflect how popular vinyl is these days and most of the records in the front section are selling for at least $30. However... to contrast that, I saw records in their used section for as cheap as $.97, which is really great. Highly recommend.

Really great record store with pretty large footprint/ space. The selection here was also large and…read morewell organized. The folks were very friendly and helpful. The pricing for new vinyl is pretty consistent with what you see or find at similar independent record stores. I really like the vibe and layout of this store. It's so large that you have separate rooms for primarily their used stuff and a separate area that looks like a hang out area. There's even a room towards the back where I think they have live shows. During out visit, it was used to hold the records that came in for Black Friday or Record Store Day 2025. Came here with some family to do some holiday shopping and just generally looking for stuff. There was a coffee cart there serving up free beverages, which was a nice touch. I ended up getting a couple of records I've been looking for awhile and being able to buy a couple records my nephew wanted for Christmas. There's also plenty of street and lot parking that makes the place easily accessible.
