Palabras Bilingual Bookstore

OMG, this place was such a wonderful find and we happened to stumble upon it. Everything about it was great!! The book selection was very satisfying, the art work is beautiful, the energy of the store is peaceful, there are nice seating areas and snacks for purchase. I love the importance of community and how it's reflected as well. The owners are very personable and you can see their passion reflected throughout the space. A Must Visit!! I wanted to purchase so many more books but I was traveling and my luggage was already a bit tight. Will definitely visit again in the future.

An amazing bookstore with a wide variety of topics. Wonderful and friendly staff willing to answer any questions. Also, the coffee is not bad too.

Love this place and the community that is built into everything they do. Have been to Palabras so many times and everytime I go I am inspired.

A beautiful little shop with friendly staff! They have delicious coffee! Local artists showcased.

Palabras is a store who knows who it is. And that includes so many titles that would be hard to find in mainstream bookstores, as well as some amazing local art. They also provide community support and mutual aid. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

We always pass by but this time decided to pop in. I'm happy we did. I'm always intimidated by small businesses because I feel like it's too intimate and makes room for awkward moments 😅 but the young lady that made our coffee was so nice and gave off great energy 🥰 she even gave us a mini tour. She was so nice!
Next time ill be sure to take my time in looking at the books. I'll be back for sure 🫶

Such a wonderful bookstore - an absolute gem! Prices are really good and customer service is marvelous. Lots of variety of authors and subjects. Love!

Palabras is the best space my family and I have ever visited. The vibes are right and the people here are the best you’ll ever meet. They have a great collection of books and they also have really fun and beautiful art and other things for sale.

Glorious & large bookstore/community center with good and a wide, beautifully diverse selection of books, cards, stationery, games, tarot cards, and other print media in English and Spanish. I love the spaces for seating, various rooms for exploration and true community entrepreneurship. Phenomenal teas brewed by one of the owners. A perfect place to spend a relaxing morning or afternoon.

This is an amazing little independent bookstore! Since I am a school teacher and a mom, I mostly looked at the children's books. They have both new and used books that are bilingual in Spanish and several other languages. I attended when they were having a special celebration. We found several great books for my son and my classroom along with a few for me from the $1.00 cart!

Palabras is an awesome place. I get bilingual books for my kiddo here. The Nurture House hosts some wonderful events featuring local artists that are inclusive and free to the public. This building is a gem and a keystone of the Roosevelt/Grand Ave community.

Love this place!!! I especially love looking through all the old books...reminds me of my childhood😁

Check them out on Instagram for kickass community events

Simply the best bookstore in Phoenix and the only bilingual bookstore in Arizona. A must visit!

This place is amazing. All kinds of different works and in different languages. All categories from kids, to teen, to historical, etc, etc. Beautiful spaces and incredibly kind people. I'm a teacher and it's great they offer a discount. There are also events from time to time that I will be checking out whenever I can, as well as enjoying the coffee shop that's there too. Not sure if they have like a "return and earn" program (return the book and get more store credit), but that would be something to add. I'll definitely be back. I loved this place and I think you will too.

This place is not just my favorite bookstore but my all time favorite place. I think when I die, Heaven will just be Palabras but with all my childhood pets. I haven't been able to go in person since the pandemic, but the online ordering has been saving my life. Excellent communication when there's a delay and lots of awesome books available. Can't wait to be able to attend events there again!

Palabras Bilingual Bookstore has been my favorite bookstore since they opened in 2015. Their selection of books is very intentional and you will find books there you won't find on other bookstore shelves. They're very community minded and host a ton of great events throughout the year. It's one of my favorite spots to hang out and pick up a book!

Palabras serves as a wonderful community center for bilingual folks, people who want to learn spanish or english, and every community member. They have a wonderful extensive selection of books. You'll always find something unexpected but delightful. The owner and staff are great people and are really dedicated to the cause of Palabras. By far my favorite bookstore in the world

The best book store in town. The art is amazing, the selection is on point, the customer service is pleasing, the bathroom is clean, and they have coffee with baked goods. When you shop here you support local.

Oh and the have an online store 🙏

This bookstore setting is such a beautiful and peaceful space. There is much to look at, lots of color, interesting topics and lots of unique items especially to give as gifts. Also the art by Jeff Slim is incredible! By far one of my favorite places to visit in Phoenix!
