Bookish Modesto

Great place! They're super-helpful & funny. Ava always makes me laugh! I love this store. They have so much great merch, beyond books. Check it out! Beverages too :P

I love a good locally owned community oriented bookshop, and Bookish absolutely meets all criteria. I appreciate the special children's section with its own beautifully framed entrance and carpeted flooring. The bookstore has a variety of books, stickers, candles, local art and a small coffee stand. In addition, you can purchase pre-loved books for a discount or even donate books for store credit. There is plenty of parking in the outside lot.

I went here yesterday with my mom for the first time. It is so cute inside, there's some tables and a charging outlet to charge your phone if needed and the books are well organized by section. In addition to the books, they also have stuff like stickers and other merch made by locals, and some fridges that had some snacks/beverages. They also had a sign advertising a coffee bar that said "coming soon." It's nice to have spaces where you don't feel rushed out. My mom bought a sticker and a shirt and I picked out two books, the employee Courtney(?) was really friendly and chatty about one of the books I selected (insisted that I would love it and she's been enjoying it so far) and told me it only had released the day before! I found that impressive. I'd definitely come here again for some book necessities or to just hangout and maybe try some coffee too.

Absolutely LOVE this store! Cozy, friendly and lots of books, both new and used. Our new favorite bookstore.

Cute, pleasantly surprised there was coffee available. If I'd had more time would have definitely bought one! They also have outdoor seating which really draws you in. Love a bookshop that I can sit in.

Great staff, incredible vibe. They've got a wide variety of books, all kinds of deals on used books, and the prices are better than your local corporate bookshop. If they don't have it, they'll order it. More than a bookstore - they seem to always be holding kid-friendly events. Love this place.

This place was amazing, if i could have used ny whole paycheck i would have. I hope there store is always filled with people, because they deserve it 100% THANK YOU

So cute, well kept, calm, and the perfect place to do book shopping on a budget! Staff was kind.

The staff was super friendly and I am happy that Modesto has another local owned bookstore!

A charming local bookstore with a selection of new and used books. There are other small merchandise throughout the store to buy that make for good gifts. The children's section in the back is inviting with a sitting area. Owners are incredibly helpful and kind. An overall great place to support local business instead of ordering from Amazon.
