from Google & Yelp"100/10!!! I came here a few weeks ago because I was looking for a moleskine planner that was sold out even at the Moleskine store. They have a small parking lot in the back with a few spaces but it was full. Store is busy with people working on laptops at desks. Nice and spacious area. They have an amazing kids section with a great selection of books. Kids have fun sitting in the kid sized chairs and little hiding nooks. I read this book and it was amazing. Love this shop, I will definitely be back. Great addition to the community."
"Bringing together a cafe and a bookstore, this place wasn’t just perfect as they’re offering you the chance to get both of them in one go, but also a win in giving the ambiance that enabled you to focus which wasn’t always the case in any other cafes. Oh and not forget to mention, dedicated free parking garage’s available! They opened until pretty late (6/8pm depending on the day) and served multiple corners to sit based on your preference, either a low bench amidst the bookshelves, a communal working desk, or sitting outside enjoying the sun kiss. Initially expecting the cafe only offered basic staples, it’s actually amusing that they had pretty long menu list, including for munchies. Trying their Spanish Latte, which was available in small and big size, I was pleased that the coffee was pretty decent. I did love that they could serve it hot and not just warm, just like how I fancied my hot coffee. Typically I needed to order it extra hot to avoid getting warm coffee! Would also take a moment to appreciate the baristas behind the counter as they’re just the sweetest :)"
"Wow, what an absolute gem of a spot. So, so glad I walked in here! It’s been ages since I found a bigger, local bookstore with seats!! There were a lot of people already studying/working in the cafe area, browsing, and sitting around so it felt nice to just buy a book and sit to read!"
"What makes a bibliophile choose to walk into a brick-and-mortar bookstore over sitting at a computer and ordering (or tapping a few clicks on the phone), and often, a less expensive option? My thoughts are this... the camaraderie one finds in a bookstore can't be shared when purchasing online. The conversations that are had in the aisles, at the counter - the browsing to see the cover art, which many illustrators have worked endlessly on, is missing from that website experience. My go-to adventures on the weekends are generally scoping out Stationery shops, visiting plant nurseries, and perusing Independent Bookstores. Today, after eating my delicious chocolate almond croissant😋 from a nearby bakery. I went on Yelp to see what bookstores were in the area. How can I describe the enthusiasm I had while tasking their counter help for books I had seen here on Instagram and researched on Goodreads 😆? The staff here are just another example of the 'why' you walk into these stores. Someone has a passion for books, for gifts that bibliophiles appreciate, for serving yummy food in this same location (so that you won't have to leave), for providing a space to sit and make that hard decision of what books will come home with you. This is my humble homage to all of the Independent Store owners who continue to take that risk and keep hope alive for we readers out there that (like I) will travel over 1 1/2 hours just to support you and your team. Bravo Culver City! you are providing a place where a community of people may gather and enjoy their favorite pastime. Respectfully Reviewed"
"The cutest and coziest book store. They have an amazing book selection and fun little trinkets. They have a children’s section, making it a perfect place to come with a family. Their cafe is really good and has a great drink/ food selection. The banana latte is to die for! Huge bonus points because their staff is so nice!"
"This is such a great spot. Village well is one of those places you pop into real quick and end up staying way longer than planned. Inside you'll see lots of..."
