La Playa Books

Excellent chic charming bookstore! Amazing selection and gift options too! Service is impeccable and free parking all around! Worth the drive to experience!

I recently visited La Playa Books in Point Loma and was blown away by their thoughtfully crafted library. The store had a wide selection of books on a variety of topics, and the staff were incredibly helpful in suggesting new reads based on my interests.

But what really stood out to me was the care that went into curating the collection. It was clear that the owners of La Playa Books have a passion for literature and have put a lot of thought into selecting titles that are diverse, interesting, and relevant.

Overall, I had a great experience at La Playa Books and would highly recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a new read or just a place to browse and discover new authors. This is definitely a Point Loma gem!

I love my community bookstore! Not only do they have great community engagement but they carry a delightful diversity of books. I’ve bought from them and sold to them and have enjoyed every interaction.

One of the best bookstores in So Cal. I love the place, the books, and the people on staff and the neighborhood.

I ordered a book from this bookstore via Amazon... and the maze it takes thee days to do so. I already had a good feeling about the store looking at their website, and they were responsive, quick to answer and detailed about my inquiry. It was wrapped neatly and efficiently - but no studio number so I was lucky that my neighbor brought it over. The book was a fair price and in even better condition than they noted, and I received it a week ahead of time. I recommend them 1000%!

A book lovers book store. I found a perfect gift here for a friend.

Great little book store found while we we're on vacation!

This bookstore was absolutely wonderful! I loved it. There's so many aisles to browse though that I think I spent over 2 hours in the store. The staff is super friendly too!

I had a really big backpack that I was using to buy gifts for friends but I ended up filling up the backpack with books instead! Totally worth the backache :)

Excellent prices, cute store, and friendly staff. My go-to bookstore for everything!

Loved this bookstore! I could've spent hours in here. Books are well-priced. Usually with small book stores there's mostly old books with a few new ones, but this store has a good mix of new releases and older books.

A great Saturday browsing spot.
The $1 sidewalk gems pulled in me again this weekend and I found more inside.
Glad to see this spot open up after so much closure during covid.
Great kids section - great reads for kids!

Loved visiting this bookstore. It had been on my list for months and today we just so happened to be in the area. The book selection is amazing and good pricing!

A calm, cozy oasis on the midst of the busy Roseville neighborhood in Point Loma, La Playa offers treasure for every kind of reader. On the well-organized shelves you will discover new titles and reacquaint yourself with ones you've loved. The children's section is delightful and eclectic. Wonder-filled!
Supporting our indie bookstores is definitely more satisfying than a soul sucking internet search and click.

Great independently owned book store with new and used books. Great selection. I could have spent hours here. Highly recommend!

Great local store in Point Loma with a good selection of children's books. Not a huge set of newly published items but enough to be interesting. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Small well curated and well organized used bookstore (some new). Large American history section. Most books in very good condition and the store avoids the mustiness of many used bookstores.

I love one of a kind book stores and I love the new sketch book I found there. There's a children's area and it's located right on Rosecrans Inn one of my favorite parts of Point Loma.

Really nice little store and very helpful service. Good selection, nicely sorted and labeled. Had a good feel for sure!

Great bookstore- it has all you could want for great prices and is well-organized! Very pleasant and kind staff. Highly recommend coming here!

La Playa Books in Point Loma area of San Diego is for book lovers. Smells like books when you enter. Used and new books. I found a first edition copy of Arabian Night from 1933 with Maxfield Parish illustrations. So they have some first editions for collectors
