Joanna L. • October 19, 2009A used bookstore but also has new children's books.

Hollis K. • February 23, 2011Try everything it's all good and homemade and great prices. Has chairs and if u go to the back through the door there is an outdoor place with toys for kids. Great place to get a quick cup of coffee.

Zachary R. • December 1, 2012Great used: books, CDs, records, DVDs, and clothing!

Diego R. • March 25, 2011A great selection of independent zines, magazines, comics, graphic novels, and books. They always have a pretty good selection of AK Press titles as well. Worth giving it a try.

Stephen B. • April 6, 2013Great place to pick up some beans for brewing at home as well.

Mary S. • April 12This 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.

Gloria G. • April 12, 2013Blue fillet mignon was fabulous. Love this quaint eatery, although the cutlery sucks. We had the Amarone which was delish. This maybe our new regular in Alameda.

Joey S. • February 19, 2014Thomas and Mario are hands down the best baristas in the land. Always very fast and willing to do a pour over in a pinch. Thanks!
