Samizdat Bookstore and Teahouse

We came here looking for boba cause we were craving it. It was actually really really good, not too sweet, the perfect consistency. I wish more people knew about this place. If you get a milk tea get it with oat milk, it’s super good!

Very impressed with this new tea/bookstore in Los Alamos! So many amazing books and games, as well as other fun crafty things. The boba is very good - the Mango Boba was definitely my favorite! My one complaint is that the cups and lids they come in are very leaky - pretty much every sip a little bit dribbled on my shirt. Hope they can fix this! Also - it might be helpful if on their menu they listed all flavors they have so I could know what potential mixtures I could make. In the future I would love to be able to make a black tea boba with grapefruit and pineapple or something. Can’t wait to come back and I hope it can grow more!

Samizdat is an outstanding example of a local bookstore with a refined selection of top-notch books in all categories. It's the pinnacle of the kind of place that bookstores were before they became corporate chains. It's really remarkable how such a small shop could have such a superior selection books, games, and stationary. Truly superb.

Nice place. They were teaching some kids which I thought was nice. Books are a little pricey, but hey, its great to have a bookstore in town. Staff was very friendly and lovely.
