Dave S. • December 25, 2011The bookstore may be the main draw, but don't miss the rest of the mini-mall packed into this nondescript Japantown building - cool stores and excellent dining options!
Carrie H. • January 16, 2012Oldest independent Black bookstore; literary and historical gem of the Fillmore. Be greeted by the resident pet, an affectionate Dachshund.
Sarah • September 15, 2014Amazing bookstore with a well-curated selection. Love the poetry section upstairs.
8.3Bookstore •1369 Haight St (btw Central & Masonic), San FranciscoTed S. • February 20, 2017Plenty of awesome books, but the real reason to come here are the racks on racks of zines, from small poetry collections to gorgeous reprintings of classic modern anarchist works.
Tiff T. • September 9, 2012Try the Yuzu Honey Tea - Fresh yuzu, perfect level of sweetness, warms up body and soul.
City Walks • October 1, 2011Clyde walks from Post and Fillmore Streets in Japan Town visiting Kinokuniya Bookstore and New People. Clyde talks about the contemporary design he finds in the curated shops on Post Street.
Brian S. • June 6, 2023Excellent single origin espresso. Get it “for here” even if you only have a couple minutes. Be like an Italian and drink it hot and quick from a ceramic cup. Pairs amazing with their brownie.
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.
Alcatraz Bookstore • August 1, 2013Help us write the next chapter for Crissy Field and the Presidio at the former Commissary site, the Presidio Exchange.
Beatriz A. • December 16, 2010Arkipelago books is a specialty filipino bookstore in soma. Check it out! Arkipelagobooks.com!
Bryan D. • August 14, 2013The bookstore is, typically, only open weekdays. Check online, or call, for current hours, before planning your visit.
Rachel R. • December 11, 2016Service here is inconsistent, depending on how busy they are. Their books are expensive and buy back rates aren't great. Even if they're an Apple certified store, they know little about Apple products
Ross G. • January 4, 2015Interesting selection of cheap used books. All proceeds go to the Oakland public library.
Ha D. • February 22, 2015Might be my favorite bookstore in the East Bay. Wish they had more literary magazines, but they have a great fiction selection - anything you pick up is probably worth reading.
