This bookstore is primarily for children, teen, and young adults. Theres not a variety of books for adults, which was disappointing.

After most bookstores have closed, we sure needed one in WC. Crown Books closed many years ago. Barnes and Nobles, I still miss the WC location, great place to hang out. So, the other day I was walking around, what, am I seeing things? Is this real? Yes, it really is. A wonderful little bookstore in WC, maybe when my book comes out next year, I could show them my book. Please stay in business!! Excellent service.

I was able to easily order a book from their warehouse for my Dads birthday since Im in Chicago, they even wrapped it without asking since I mentioned it was a birthday gift. This is why you buy local

Great local bookstore and they will order any book for you if they don’t have it in the store. So much better than ordering online and they have a reward system so you can receive money off your purchases. Support local businesses!

Bright, cheery store and terrific, knowledgeable, well-read staff. Great to have such an extensive children’s book department to serve that large segment of Walnut Creek. If they don’t happen to have the book you want in stock, you can order books and frequently get them as fast or faster than from Amazon.

Love this bookstore. It has a great ya section and the staff is very friendly. I’ve bought a book and then sat in the store reading it for an hour or so because the atmosphere is so nice. I highly recommend.

This is a great bookstore for kids books. We went there to get a birthday present for my nephew and the salesperson was extremely helpful with finding exactly what we wanted. They even gift wrapped the book!

Wow, this is a gem of a bookstore! What better place to bring your kids for an afternoon? Theres plenty of places for children to read, play, color or just chill. Theyre story-time events and they even carry a well curated indie collection of adult books! Love this place ❤️♥️.

Great indie bookstore to Walnut Creek. The store was still in development when I stopped by (opening weekend), but excellent staff and awesome curated collection. More geared for younger audience at the moment.

Walked in and was told I only have 20 minutes to browse. I walked out. Perhaps if I had been loitering around for 20 minutes maybe I could see the point.

Well-priced accommodations, but beds are terrible. New mattresses would be a welcome addition.
