This is not a coffee shop. It is the best bookstore I have come across in the United States, both in terms of the quantity and quality of titles on offer.
Pretty much perfect. They have a huge range of books including one of the largest children's departments I've ever seen and a friendly and helpful team to help you navigate it. It was a real pleasure to visit it.
Perfect bookstore. Great selection, helpful staff
find my textbook there which one I did find in bookstore. so if youre ucsb student and need book immediately. go there!
Good old fashioned bookstore, with great selection and books stacked in the aisles.
One of the last book stores in town wide variety and great selection
Good old fashioned bookstore, without the musty smell! I can literally be lost in here, my kids too. Having access to this store will relieve me of missing The Strand in New York City. Of course it's not the same! But I am happy to have Chaucer's nearby when my beloved NYC is so far away.
Great bookstore. Lacks the sterility of the chains. Classic bookstore look and feel.
