Such a lovely spot in San Francisco, especially for families. I brought my kids and they loved the loft area, the book selection, and the cozy vibe. The staff was super friendly, and the café was great—I had a perfectly made cortado and a few delicious passion fruit donuts for the kiddos. Such a nice place to hang out and enjoy a beautiful Saturday morning. ☀️📚
Loved it. The bookstore has a great selection, and the kids' section is fantastic! I loved the concept; the store was extremely clean, easy to navigate, and a great place to enjoy your coffee. Staff super friendly!
The cutest family friendly community bookstore with a beachy vibe, beautiful back patio, loft and play area for the kids, and with coffee, chai, matcha, and pastries available for purchase. I visited on a Sunday around 2pm. There was a pretty long line for drinks, so I opted to just browse their books. Their space and selection is on the smaller side, but they have a surprisingly large selection of children and young adult books. They also offer other bookish merch like totes, cards, stickers, candles, journals, etc. I could definitely see myself enjoying a matcha and reading a book on their back patio on a nice day.
My favorite about this bookstore is you walk in after the dinner at Hook Fish Co just cross the street, and go straight to 2nd floor for kids corner! Seems you are back to middle school time! I stayed at the 2nd floor like 20 mins to enjoy myself to check on the book! Sitting down at the couch and enjoy the limited noisy from downstairs! All other things people already mentioned but worth to come!
LET ME TELL YOU GUYS!! If you want a cozy coffee spot to just catch up with your friends, this is it! Their garden backyard is really spacious. We sat there for almost 2 hours. It was that comfortable! This is a bookstore + merch & cafe concept. Many toys to keep the kids occupied as well. The baristas are SUPERRR friendly 💗
