A cozy modern bookstore takes the place now that Barnes & Noble was torn down to make way for the new section in the Del Mar Highlands. It’s nice to have seating scattered throughout the store. Staff seemed very excited & willing to help.

I love this place and having a local bookstore is such a treat! if they dont have something you are looking for in stock, they order it and have it for you very quickly

I came into the shop looking for Korean fiction and left with several books thanks to the wonderful help of the staff here. They were so welcoming and enthusiastic to help me find exactly what I was looking for. I can’t wait to shop here again!

Support independent bookstores! Kind and helpful service, from browsing online they appear to have a good selection. The pickup process was easy and I appreciated that they wrapped my book.

Has a wonderful selection of books with beautiful covers and variety. Fun special editions and knicknacks as well. The employee was super kind! Cant wait to come back and explore it more :)

A wonderful local bookstore with knowledgible booksellers. Appointments and pickup available.

Always wonderful personal service here.

Any booklover or bookaholic will love this quaint little bookstore in Del Mar.Dont miss it - and grab a cookie next door.

This bookstore is beautiful! The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed browsing theyre recommended book section. I was also very impressed with the childrens book section, which is cozy with seating for kids to read and play.

Employees are uninterested. Didnt feel welcome at all. They wouldnt take cash for a book that was on sale for charity! No thanks.

Really well curated selection of books.
