Godfather's Books

First off, when you first walk in, there's the local authors section! Way to support locals! I love it!. Great selection of books reasonably priced, alot of fun novelties, but for is the highly was the woman working that day, this was Saturday 2/10/24, she was amazing! Her customer service went far and above and her friendly attitude and upbeat personality really set the scene for a great visit to the store, and the coffee was fantastic! , wife and I purchased a few books as well :)
Thank you and keep up the good work :)

One of the best bookstores on the Oregon Coast! I love the collection here, well laid out and so cozy. The coffee is wonderful and the staff is always helpful and friendly. Highly recommend this stop - don't be in a rush!

I pop in here randomly. They have a very wide selection of reading materials. The person working is always very friendly and ready to help you. Great place to bring your book friends! I was here this most recent time with my Mom. She was helping a friend find a book. We figured this was the perfect place to meet. And they found several books in the topic they were seeking on that day. Definitely enjoy visiting here.

Great place to find a book and if in the mood have a coffee. Love the small town feel and the use of the scrabble tiles was great

Fun little book store crammed full of interesting books and other bits and bobs. Good espresso, too. At least lately, they've been featuring lots of LGBTQIA books, which I appreciate. I only wish they had some overstuffed chairs scattered around so I could hang out all day (but I get why they don't).

Cool store with coffee. Good prices on books wide selection, Def current info on Astoria and its history. The ceiling painted by local folks adds a really nice touch.

One of the two excellent book stores on the North Coast. The best used bookstore for 100 miles. Nice people too.

Great selection and very friendly staff!

We love this place and always stop in when we’re visiting the PNW. Great selection of books and book-related gifts. Also, awesome Dutch door.

This bibliophile and coffee-holic gives Godfather's five folios! Great staff and fabulous selection.

Godfather, cat stuff, and books. It doesn't get better than this bookstore. Definitely a must stop location when in the Astoria area.

Wonderful book store, I have visited it many times over the years but had been a while. So glad it's still in business!

There aren't very many bookstores anywhere, anymore, but this is a good one. I like it. It's not huge, & I guess it's not even big. It's not small, either. I'd say it's in the smaller side of medium-sized. It's small-town pop bookstore, & by that I mean that they have popular, new fiction & non-fiction books as well as a few classics & intriguingly eclectic stuff. There are exploration guides, maps, natural history books along with how-to, history, science, philosophy, language, Expect the unexpected. You might even get up the nerve to dive into a piece of writing that you never suspected to exist. Really nice, calm atmosphere, good people, a few snacks and coffee, tea, & soda.... Incense & incense holders, funny and/or informative little pamphlets, & I don't know what-all. Charlie keeps a selection of the best-selling local novels, stories, & other literature. Some makes you laugh. Some makes you cry. These emotions are real, & they are healthy & normal. Some of the books are funny because the author meant them to be; a few are funny because he (or she, they?) didn't. (◠‿◕)
Since Godfather's is centrally-located in Astoria's fascinating historic downtown, you'll meet some interesting characters. For real! And all of the coolest shops are within a few footsteps!

Wry large section of books. If you can’t find a book to read then you’re just browsing.

I love Godfather’s Books. I used to live up the street as a kid and my mom used to work there before we moved to Washington. I love the atmosphere of a local bookstore, their drinks are always super yummy and I love the workers. As a kid my favorite thing to do was hang out with Charlie and some of the locals that were always getting drinks while my mom worked. As a kid I loved the children’s book section and smelling all the incense and now as an adult I can appreciate everything else inside. Thanks for the great memories Charlie! I can’t wait to go back for another cup of coffee!

I stopped in here on my way through Astoria to pick out a new book and I was very impressed with the huge selection of books! I could never go bored in a place like that. Also the gal who was working was super welcoming and helpful. Definitely my new favorite bookstore!

I want all of the books! They have other fun things too, plus coffee! It’s where I got some of my pendulums, my spirit board, crossword puzzles and my bibles.

Cute shop. Lovely owners. Fun to chat with. No bathroom, but they do have coffee. Good spot to get the down low on the up and up if you feel me.

My granddaughter and I had a delightful time browsing through the volumes of books in this book store. There was also a nice selection of coffees and teas. The owner was very helpful and we also enjoyed being greeted by Bella, his sweet dog.

Fabulous bookstore with wide and eclectic stock of works in all categories. Wonderful and deep American and international lit section. Super-fine art books, too!
