Bay Tree Campus Store

I recently had the chance to visit the Bay Tree Campus Store, and I must say, I was quite impressed with my experience. This store, located conveniently on campus, caters to the needs of students, staff, and faculty alike.

Bought my Pulp Fiction t shirt here on 2-22-22!!!
Edit: STARS is now on the second floor of the same building, please don't hesitate to come in if you're a transfer student or looking for resources on and off campus!!

Very awesome place! They have some cool merch!

Must stay true to my roots and visit this amazing book store each time I’m in Santa Cruz. They have an amazing selection along with incredibly special gifts, one of a kind paper products, coolest learning toys and trinkets. I love it and kids love it.

Very quick service, items are well stacked and the store itself is cleaned. There's always enough people working there to ask questions and their textbook department is well run and organized. The workers are not the problem for your textbook not being there. Employees are friendly and helpful and their customer service is extremely helpful with any and all returns or questions. They make sure things are in stock year round, and surind finals week they ensure that scantrons and blue books are easy to find.

After needing to wait a few hours for a book to be printed for one of my classes I went to the cafe next door to wait. When one of the employees got off work he saw me and came to let me know it was ready. Saved me a couple hours of waiting, service was great.

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Extremely knowledgeable with where specific items could be found. And we shared pictures of our grand babies! 🥰

Perfectly good supply of stuff for class and memorabilia. Nice staff.
They don't have the shipping kiosk anymore so that kind of sucks.

Got tickets to the boardwalk frolic here without any problems

🤩 Just imagine BestBuy, Walmart and Barns & Noble collaborating you get The Bay Tree Book Store. WoW hands down this is the nicest 2 storey bookstore and they have everything you could ever need or want.

Great service provided to this UCSC alumni by both people I talked to. I played rugby 2 years in this college and I felt welcome here

Pricey but has really nice stuff especially clothes <3 Can always find my book, had no issues for the past two years.

Stopped by to get some merch and send sister in law to school. Has a pickup window if you aren't comfortable going inside.

Best bookstore ever! Has everything you are looking for, and more. You can spend hours exploring all the booky goodness of this fantastic store.

Great selection of books, both new and used, as well as good promotion of events related to authors and culture in general. A must-see for book lovers in Santa Cruz.

Lots of helpful staff, very busy store. Fantastic selection of hats, shirts, sweatshirts, widgets, etc...

From refrigerator to UCSC swag, this campus store has everything one needs for dorm life and setting up a new office/workspace.

They had all the school supplies I needed. May I suggest not spending any time on the first floor.

Surprisingly good college campus bookstore. They don't try to price gouge, and they carry a wide variety of products, not just books and college gear.

Love me a good college bookstore. This has loads of different UCSC banana slug stuff.
