    The JJK recommendation is hilarious
    Jon T.

    This is an interesting bookstore in DC. There's a vast selection of bestsellers, recommendations by staff, books for kids and adults. There is also a section where you can drink coffee/alcohol in the store as well sit down to eat donuts. It's pretty dangerous if you like the idea of reading and munching down a sweet donut. The staff was extremely friendly and were able to introduce me to new books. I did walk out of there with a book about being fluid so that's always cool to see. Their manga selection isn't big but I hope they can add more to their section. I did find that recommendation hilarious!

    This bookstore has an amazing selection of books from diverse voices and backgrounds. The representation here is a breath of fresh air. I absolutely fell in love with the atmosphere and intention behind this space. I'll definitely be ba

    My favorite bookstore in the city - helpful recommendations, great space for children and adults and I appreciate that I can stop in with my dog. If they don't have a book in stock, easy to order and pick up later. Thanks for all you do, Solid State Books!

    Love this sign!

    I'm a big fan of East City Bookstore. But there was a book I wanted that they didn't have in stock, so I decided to try this place. They had the book! The store feels very open & spacious. And they seem to have lots of books in stock. I also loved a sign that was on display. I took a photo of it & am including it with this review.

    I stopped by Lost City Books with a friend yesterday, when we spent a beautiful spring Sunday…read moremorning on a walk and mini bakery crawl through Adams Morgan. We both love to read and love bookshops. I love big bookshops, little bookshops, romance bookshops... Lost City Books was a wonderful surprise and immediately became one of my favorite bookshops in DC. Why? It isn't huge, but it makes such good use of its space that I found it to be one of the best stocked independent bookstores I've visited in a long while. I always try to support local independent bookstores when I can, and some of them are tiny (if your neighborhood bookstore is one of the tiny ones, remember they'll probably place orders for you if you want/need something they don't have in stock). But - at the risk of sounding silly - we got lost in time at Lost City Books. We meant to just pop in and quickly pick something to take home. But we wandered through their fiction section and staff picks, pointing out books to each other we loved or have been meaning to read and all of a sudden a half hour had passed and we only really explored one tiny section of the shop. We walked out with four books between us, too. The customer service was friendly to boot. Just a great independent bookshop and another reason to love Adams Morgan.

    Great selection and wonderful vibes. The best part all of the staff recommended books throughout…read morethe store. The reviews are thorough and helpful and makes you feel lol they care.

I had an egg and cheese homemade biscuit that was just awesome. Peaceful, lovable and fun. Perfect for a break from the day's chores.

    After living in Adams Morgan for 10 years, I feel lucky to have this spot just a short walk away…read more It's the perfect co-working space--I love being surrounded by shelves of books, even if I've never bought one, because the atmosphere is so welcoming. On top of that, they're a true community bookstore, giving back by providing free meals to people in need, which I find really admirable. My go-to order is usually an iced coffee (or hot, depending on the day), but I've also had their biscuit with egg, cheese, and bacon a few times. That biscuit is perfectly fluffy, the egg is creamy, and the bacon is on point--so good that I've thought about ordering a side of bacon just to have more. If you're in the area and need a cozy spot to work, this is it. I love that they have plenty of outlets (a rarity!) and even window seating. Great coffee, great food, and a mission worth supporting.
