My nephew had a field trip in morro bay and went to this bookstore. He really loved it. So when we went there while on vacation, my nephew really wanted to get some books. Cute little store with new and used books

My husband and I just got married here on 9/28/24 and it was an absolute dream!!! We were able to put some chair covers on the chairs, and my brother in law played acoustic guitar for me to walk down the aisle. We were also able to choose our own officiant! We had 38 guests and were able to take photos in the garden area after the ceremony. Sherry and all of her staff were awesome and we couldn’t have asked for a dreamier wedding ceremony 🤍

Beautiful little store that has a nice vibe. The garden in the back is also very pretty. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

We need far more bookstores like this — love it. An independent store offering a very nice selection of new and used books in a perfect atmosphere, right down to the welcoming used book smell that greets you when you go through the front door. I love the availability of chairs and stools that invite you to sit and test drive a book or two. Be sure to step out back into the garden and check out the chapel available for rent.

I picked up this book by Questlove. New and used books for sale, beautiful garden, friendly staff, a tiny cozy space with gifts as well. I love the flowers and planters outside the front door. I would love the chance to photograph a wedding here one day! 📷
