Fabulosa Books is such a gem. The selection is fantastic, and the staff, especially the owner, are incredibly kind and helpful. When I asked about a couple of books, he checked the computer, and even though they didn’t appear, he still went to the shelf to look just in case. The first time I visited, he even gifted me some magnets, and I brought him a coffee in return, which made him so happy. This store has such a welcoming vibe, and it’s definitely a must when in the Castro.

Great selection! (I especially loved the staff picks and the displays.) And everyone was super nice!

Fabulosa is a wonderful local book store that features an excellent and diverse selection, particularly of queer topics and authors. I came into the store looking for a specific book and the management was very friendly and helpful and immediately helped me find what I was looking for. The book was also priced well, which isn’t always the case with these smaller book stores. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a diverse book selection and welcoming atmosphere!

Great little book shop in downtown San Francisco that focuses on the LGBTQ community. It's a must stop if you are in this area of town.
