Absolutely loved this Bookstore! Plenty of books to choose from and so many other items such as journals, backpacks, purses, gifts and so much more. There’s also a cafe and a wine tasting bar. Check it out! Highly recommend!

One of the best bookstores in the US much less in LA! Incredible, independent bookstore in the heart of Pasadena. Massive selection of books & gifts, children’s programming, author readings & signings. Great addition is the coffee shop & wine bar! Member nights are fantastic! Best of all is the friend & helpful staff who are clearly book lovers too. Can’t miss bookstore in Southern California!
