Larry C. • May 4, 2010The house lubricant quite good and much cheaper than the Pjur!

squeasel • October 8, 2014Excellent selection of new and used books in the nooks and crannies. Plan to spend hours of enjoyment shopping here, although if you're a completist and MUST look at every book, you'll go mad trying.

Adrian P. • October 31, 2015Very chill vibe. Their clothes are excellent, the shorts and tees are fantastic. Massive dressing room makes trying things on easy. Be sure to check if there's a sale (if there is, go upstairs)

Bommy • March 3, 2018Amazingly chill, local spot with friendly owner and patrons where it feels like you're drinking wine in someone's living room. Specializes in natural wine. $12 for tastings of four open bottles.

Lindsay E. • December 19, 2014An excellent selection of SF and CA books, Pantone kids books, and rare used stuff. Curation is an art and they've perfected it.

Maya B. • January 5, 2019Beautiful dishes of all colors and styles - you will often see their dishwater in restaurants in SF

Mary S. • 2 weeks agoThis book store has a fantastic children's section, with a wide range of books for all ages. It's been a lifesaver for me as a parent, if I'm looking for educational and engaging reads for my kids.

Peter B. • December 16, 2017Legitimately: the best Italian cold-cuts sandwich I have ever had, and I am a sandwich aficionado. Opt for the spicy sauce.

Asha J. • September 17, 2014European hot chocolate is delicious. The homemade marshmallows are also tasty.

Bravo • January 27, 2010Worker-owned, with the freshest local produce outside of the farmer's market. Great cheese selection. Bulk area is expansive and prices are fair. -Preeti Mistry, Top Chef

Jack K. • July 13, 2015Huge selection with rare stuff on the walls. Jazz vinyl section is very well rounded, a lot of new represses and original pressings. Check used records they have in sleeves & new arrivals!

Donna T. • September 26, 2011Cozy bookstore within walking distance from Glen Park BART station. Live music and you can contribute a small donation to the musicians if you enjoy the show. Really great people and atmosphere.
