I'm so glad I heard about this shop from…read moreTikTok :) I stopped by in search of a manga for a gift and ended up browsing the entire store for over an hour. The manga selection has a few mainstream titles but majority are older/niche which I appreciated looking through. If you're looking for material to learn Japanese, there was a pretty large section as well! Aside from manga, they also carry mystery, horror, non fiction, fiction, Western and a variety of spirituality/self help books. There's also designated sections for female authors, children's literature and Japanese only books. Some books will have handwritten price tags but overall pricing is more than fair and reasonable! Takeshi is so so kind and grateful for each customer that comes through and you can tell he appreciates getting to know everyone individually. Please come to support him and his wife! I've been meaning to pick up reading again so I will definitely be back soon :))

There's a surprising amount of Japanese-language books available, including manga, novels, and language-learning resources. It's all priced fairly.

I like to get my mom large print mysteries books whenever I can and the small section they have in front of the libraries is hit and miss. I have gotten her so many and resonated them back I was starting to get the same ones again so I thought I'd come here and WOW there is a huge section of large print. They have sales and specials you would want to get in on if you read a lot also they have odd hours so make sure they are open before you make the drive. Parking can be tricky, on the day I went I was lucky and found a spot by the door but I saw many people parking out on street and walking in. It's located in a warehouse area so be prepared to walk a bit if they are full. It's pretty large in there and they have every kind of book imaginable come check them out!

They have a great collection of fiction, non-fiction and genre fiction. There is also a cute little selection of kids books from board books all the way up to YA fiction. Pricing felt fair.

So glad to see a real bookstore in our area. Love the design and the book selection! There is also a boba tea place next door about to open - will be a great spot to meet friends and for Cavitt students to hang out. Thank you, Ryan, for adding this awesome place to our community!

This is hands down one of my MOST favorite places in Sacramento!…read more The staff are incredibly nice and helpful AND they are actually super knowledgeable. I love when you can ask someone a question and they really know what they're talking about. I also love that this store employs students from local schools. Supporting the community while getting your book fix? YES PLEASE. The location is phenomenal too. Being right next to a theater and a restaurant means there's literally ALWAYS something fun happening around here. And the selection? Just know they have something for EVERYONE. From cookbooks to comics to comedians, it's all here! Also, definitely look into their event schedule because your favorite author might just be there! You never know!

It is only a couple of blocks from the park and is so perfect for book and book themed/related shopping. They have lots of different genres and the store is organized so you can easily find what you are looking for. They have tons of bookmarks, stickers, keychains, reading lights etc.. The shop is beautiful inside, there's a couch by the big windows where you could spend some time hanging out in the natural light, the staff were super nice and friendly, and the prices are affordable/standard but not overpriced. I love that this shop, like so many other local's businesses/bookstores, prioritizes not only supporting their community but being inclusive and welcoming to all during a time like now. Will definitely be back to browse more once I finish my current reading stack.

The store was on the smaller side, but actually bigger than I expected in looking from the outside. The had some unique books. They had a children's section in the back of the store, and it looks like they do story time events and other things. The store was also quite busy! There is parking on the street and as well as the street behind the store. Overall, a charming little shop!

As others have mentioned, the selection has some gaps, but I imagine you could easily order a book you want that isn't in stock. I enjoyed browsing the shelves and seeing employee recommendations. When I made it to the poetry selection, I was happy to see that it wasn't all mainstream or classic poets, and I ended up picking up a few new collections. There's an extensive children's and young adult section in the back, and the store also sells things like book-related jewelry, some cards, and a ton of cute stickers (I may have gone overboard on buying some of those). They also sell local zines, which I think is awesome. If you make a zine, you can contact them to see about selling them in the store. The front table has free bookmarks, handouts, community announcements, etc., and the person at the register let me put some of my zines on the table for people to take for free. All in all, a cute spot, and one I'd visit regularly if I lived in town.

My husband googled local book stores and came upon East Village Bookshop. It's a new bookstore that is still in their soft opening phase. I belive it took over the Birkenstock shoe store. It's a beautiful space with lots of natural light from all the windows. After a bit of a search we found a parking space, it's hard to find a space in the area on a beautiful Sunday. There are a few lots around, but those weren't as close as the street parking options. We found a space down the street from Rick's Dessert Diner, someone was just leaving so we made a quick U-turn and snagged the spot. Once we had a spot we went for a little lunch first to curb our appetite so our tummies wouldn't grumble while we shopped. There isn't a parking limit on Saturdays and Sundays on street parking. During the week I belive there is a 2 hour limit on the street parking int he area. Now that we parked we can shop till we drop. We were only a few blocks from the bookstore. What a beautiful little shop. I love all the open space in the store, it's not crammed full of books like some book stores. The store is full of new books, no used books here. We were on a quest for travel books as we're trying to plan our anniversary trip. Unfortunately we didn't find any here, but maybe we didn't look hard enough. I did find some really wonderful new books. I did find the coolest book: You already have the answers, 365 Questions to reveal your greatest strengths, a gratitude journal, by Amanda Delbert. This is going to be perfect for our dinner conversations. We currently have Table Conversations Cards that we've been working though, but we're running out of questions so this will be perfect to add to the mix. This will give us 365 more days of great dinner time discussions. The first question is: How have you grown as a person in the last year? There were so many other good books there and I can't wait to go back. They have lots of gifty books and amazing smelling soaps for $10. I also got 10% off of my book because it was hard bound

They can order you any books that you need and I love shopping local.
