Friendly staff with lots of sections from kids to cooking to graphic novels.My wife was very happy checking out the new and usedGreat staff picks and thoughtful selections for patrons to choose from.Some cards and gifts available as well.

Very clean and bright. Has both new and used. Has all the new releases as well.

Awesome book store, huge selection and cool look and vibe.

Went here for the first time and loved it! The selection is vast, organized, and cultured.It would be so easy to spend an entire afternoon here, can’t wait to go back!

Dog Eared Books is a wonderful bookstore! This little bookshop tucked away in the city, has to be one of my favorites. They have a wonderful staff, and great titles to choose from. I really enjoy the atmosphere. Im really drawn to the titles from local authors that they carry. The environment is welcoming, and you can get lost in this place for hours.. Please support your local businesses.

A great small, local bookstore! The staff are eager and happy to help, both with recommendations and to help customers find what theyre looking for. The pre-selected employee recommendations are also excellent. If a book is not in the store, they can often order it online. I definitely recommend Dog Eared Books.

Catchy name and homey interior! Loved their wide selection of genres and local authored- books. My go to place to find a great read. Visiting bookshops like this calms my nerves. Will be back again.

You can learn a lot about a book store by supplying books to them. You can also tell if someone sorting through your books has any knowledge of the books or if theyre sorting through for something they already do recognize. These folks dont seem to care about informing their customers but rather promoting what is the trendy and political. Hopefully the first edition science literature I gave them end up in the free section rather than the trash, as one of the gentlemen told me they would. Yes, I realize theyre probably the product of their environment as San Franciscans but intellectuals are supposed to have their own faculties.

I was walking towards Dolores Park on a hot day when I spotted this book store. The name was clever, so I stopped in to take a look. Its a very nice and cozy bookstore. There were journals, notebooks, novels, fiction, non-fiction etc. Its a small store but packed with so much. I had to remind myself that I was doing a lot of walking that day so I couldnt go overboard in purchasing books. The employee was helpful and welcoming.

Such a great vibe in here. I happened to stop in during one of their book club meetings & they offered me some amazing fresh baked cookies. They have a nice assortment of books & gifts & are super nice.

Love the selection and overall vibe of this bookstore. The majority of the books are used which is why I love this place. Definitely recommend visiting this location.

Cute little bookstore, loved the interior that had tons of windows to let the sunlight in. great used section and my cashier was so kind and actually found the first book in a series i was interested (i almost bought the 3rd book lol)also loved the zine section and picked up a funny little one on the infallibility of the popes lol.would definitely go back!

It gud I bought a book for a baby here which is what i was looking for ty

I loved this bookstore. They had a great selection of new and used books

I love the atmosphere of this book store, and they have an amazing selection of almost every genre. They also have used books, which are a little cheaper, and give the store a very homely feel. Staff is super nice and helpful, and the store is filled with little oddities and small gifts, which were a pleasure to discover.

I love me some book stores and this is one of them! The genres and tables elegantly and thoughtfully laid out for anyone’s taste.

Great shop with helpful employees and a mix of new and used books.

Went there to sell some books. They were very pleasant and fair to deal with. The store has a wide selection to look through. Ill plan to go back again and wouldnt hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell books.

Great selection of books, friendly staff who kept aside books I wanted when I called and asked.

A perfect neighborhood bookstore. Something for everyone.

Awesome bookstore. I’ve been coming here often on for years. It’s a landmark in San Francisco. The staff is always been very friendly and the selection is great.

Sweet spot to just browse books. They have some notes posted on books to give their take on that book. Its interesting. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by for sure.

This has everything you want in an independent bookstore: used books at good prices, and the latest releases, all in a quaint, fun setting.

So nice and coolLovely reviews to booksA must stop

Great books, ambiance, and store dog called Tess

I love how the books are organized here. Nice small-town feel to the whole place

This is a great SF staple. You can email and order books ahead of time for pick up, or go in a browse w. A handful of ppl in store. They have great staff recommendations

Great store, helpful staff. Also if they don’t have a book you want in stock they can order it for you!

Oklahoma independent pencil was forever underpants whenever I wished the thing to be not so much grey. Other than thump, I truly vomited where the lilacs grow before setting off to kokomo. Lets all pretend marvelous answers do not pretend theres antwerp only and forgive a limp raisin when others prevaricate. Always fungus, never solicitous- I begged the polling grader please return all mental regents of klondike rabbits among those who wash the will of glamis. Four stairs!

One of the coolest bookstores you can browse thru!

Super cheap books! Both new and used across a broad range of topics. The staff is really helpful and happy to give recommendations. They have books from local authors and illustrators along with well-known mainstream literature. It’s surrounded by great stores and restaurants, too.

Nice vibe but the books were a bit expensive even though they were used ones

This place is the Mecca of books. Excellent recommendations and staff pics. Wonderful selection. Chill staff.

Good selection for fantasy

Great atmosphere, amazing selection, and the employees know the store like the back of their hand. Very helpful with any question thrown at them.Really seems to capture the vibe of the district-activism kids books and all.

Wonderful vibe, selection of books, and friendly staff!

So original... It is not the End of bookstores! Nothing like the smell of printed paper.. New or Old.

Dog Eared Books is a welcoming bookstore, whether you are there to buy or to sell.

I spent almost an hour here obsessing over their broad selection. If you’re looking for new, used, or unique books, you’ll find them here. I found everything from a book on screen printing to Steinbeck’s East of Eden.

Unique, interesting, cozy and friendly.

I like this bookstore! There are a lot of special deals any time

Dragon books were awesome!

Highly recommend for new and used books. Great recommendations too!

Great bookstore with an expansive selection for such a tiny space!

Best bookstore in San Francisco. Small but fantastic. Used books downstairs. Great touring authors. Diverse selection. Neat staff recommendations. This is definitely nerd territory and I love it. They have a book club too which I want to but havent participated in.

Nice small shop with a good variety of books

This is by far the best bookstore in San Francisco. They have a mix of new and used books too.

Great atmosphere that makes you want to return time and time again. Their diversity of topics and writers is incredibly impressive for a small shop. You would be hard pressed to not immediately find something that catches your eye!

Great selection and a smooth curbside pickup process. Love the staff picks.

Ive been to this bookstore several times. Its a charming, independent shop selling new and used books. There are plenty of other interesting shops on Valencia near them as well. Also, I work as a plumber here in SF and have had to smash open this stores ceiling near the back because of a leaking toilet once. The staff was very good natured about this.

One of my favorite book stores in SF! Great selection of new and used books.

One of the few bookstores left in San Francisco. They have both new and second hand books. Selection is always changing and interesting.

Wonderful shop. Great selection. Really nice to me and my blind dog. Found several books on a difficult subject I am interested in.

Wonderful local bookstore.Always nice and helpful local staff.Highly encourage a visit or a call. If they dont have your book they will gladly order it and get it a few days, no need to shop elsewhere.

I use to sell books to the store. Ive also gained lasting friendships there. Its a great store, wonderful people and the place to find interesting books.

Great selection, good genre variety, blank notebooks too

My absolute favorite bookstore. From the stereotypical corner bookstore vibes to the Mission district evident style of the store, this bookstore is one of the best in SF. It is geared toward discovering books, having unique categories such as interracial authors, female authors, staff favorites with explanations of why, and otherwise surfaces books from underrepresented author backgrounds. I always go here when I dont have a book in mind and just want to find something new and what I find always excites and surprises me and is never what i was planning on reading.

Such a cute little book store! Had a great time looking through all the books and could have spent a lot more time and money in there. Easy to find books, great selection of new releases and older books. Loved the diversity within the books - lots of LGBTQ+ themed books. Would have liked some more spaces to sit and read, but also recognize that its San Francisco and space is valuable!

Nice people and great book store. I mostly enjoyed the team picks and the feminist and comic sections!

Great little book store. Big lonely planet section so travelers can find those remote corner books. And some uncommon books in Photography, architecture. I enjoyed browsing so much had to bring a few home.

I cant say enough about a brick and mortar location for a bookstore. They are seemingly a dieing breed. ☹️ This particular new/used bookstore carries all genres for the avid reader. They also buy used books for cash or store credit. Its been at the current location on Valencia Street in The Mission neighborhood for years and I hope it never goes away. You deserve to pop in for a book or two, and Dog Eared Books deserves your repeated business.

Another great place to hit up on Valencia! I love coming in here because it has such a bright and comforting atmosphere to it that it always lures me and has me wandering through each small aisle!

Great bookstore for not mainstream stuff. Really good selection in all topics I looked at. Mix of used and new

Small, cozy bookstore with a great selection.

Always so nice & helpful, especially during this difficult pandemic. Thanks so much

Amazing book store! Great selection of hard to find political books. Even titles not on Amazon. Amazing!

Lots of books but no soup ha ha! (just kidding) i went here to find a bible for my grandson (problem child sometimes unfortunately). fresh mouthed kid told me to look in the fiction section. he got a laugh this time but well see who is laughing when he gets to the pearly gates. (me)

Pretty nice bookstore. Has a very mellow record store vibe. Also gotta love the smell of old/new books.

I always AT LEAST buy a postcard every time i stop by. Love this place

New and used books. An old time SF gem

The little bookshop on the street corner has a good selection of books and a friendly staff. It makes for a beautiful gem of a store, where you feel comfortable browsing, reading, picking new books up, like a parenthesis in a busy area.

I have bought and sold books from these guys over the years. It is a great little bookstore. Definitely support local bookstores if you can.

Super sweet, super helpful. And had a great selection!!

I like bookstores, but Dog Eared is love. Great inventory, great vibe. I always leave with something I didnt go in with the intent to buy and that is the best. And I can never pry my three year old away from the kids corner. And the staff is lovely to both me AND her which any parent knows goes a really long way.

!!!Lots of good stuff, and knowledgeable staff. They re-ordered a book that was STOLEN from me. Check out the pulp paperbacks. Buy something! Dont let your local bookstore become extinct !!!

I went to sell some of my well loved volumes. They are pleasant and very fair. Ill be a regular customer.

My go-to neighborhood bookstore

Great bookstore feel. The lady behind the counter needed a bit of a polish on her customer service, but the store was great and filled with history. A must see if you are into old school books. Enjoy!!!

I love this bookstore!! Its well stocked, customer service is always great and the books are affordable. Aside from books, they have a variety of San Francisco souvenirs!!

Awesome bookstore in the Mission. Ive purchased new & used books at fair prices. They also have a magazine section too. Love the Robin Williams mural tribute located next to the front of store.

Tiny corner store with super sweet staff. really like their poetry section. cute notes all over.

I love used book stores and this is by far my favorite in the city. I found such great novels here. I never leave empty handed. Plus its so nice to be able to find what I want and not have to pay a ridiculous price cause its new. I do recommend this to any one who is a serious book worm.

All their books are cultivated to be on point for the times and relevant to their customers interests.

I love this book store, its so unique and taken care of with so much love that it is fun to just hang out there and browse the various books. I find it so much nicer to be in an actual bookstore than to get the books from amazon. The staff is very friendly, the ambiance is very cozy and invites outside strollers to come in. The best part is the gift paper you get for free when you ask. It is a world map and nicely wrapped around your books :)

I like this book shop, the ambiance is cool and the range of books are great!

I love this bookstore. They always have a curated section of books I want to read.

Very nice bookstore with a range of new and used books. Fiction, non-fiction, history, social issues, biographies and everything in-between! They have a section of cheaper books, but none are very expensive.

Its a very cozy little bookstore with an magnificent set of books. If youre looking for a new inspirational book, its the exact place where to go.

Perfectly charming and apropos. This book store has wonderfully friendly staff, an eclectic selection, and titles you dont see everyday. Just browsing, I doesnt nearly a half hour here initially looking for one book and finding so many others.Definitely a great place to peruseand buy books or waste time wisely.

I have found many books here. this is among my favorite bookstores in all of san francisco. the magazine selection is on point and the kids section is amazing! local books and zines can be found here, too. also, this is where i stock up on my moleskin products! the cashiers are always helpful and well-read. ask them for a recommendation!

Great selection and friendly staff!

Doesmt have much of what Im interested but full of other good stuff!

An amazing small bookstore with a mix of new and used. Great staff recommendations

Almost a five star. Really great books, loved the staff picks. Found a great antique book on crazy ways people used to get high in the olden days.My experience was nearly perfect until the store employee scoffed as at some poor mans book choices. The man was trying to sell his old books.The store clerk didnt have to buy all of them off him, but his loud and SUPER rude reaction made me feel so so sorry for this sad dude who admittedly only needed enough money to get a bus ride.After he left the guy left with head hung low, store clerk loudly discussed the book choices with someone across the store.Super pretentious and lacking of love. Be nice.

I love the selection here, and often leave feeling unwelcome.

They have a good selection of books, both from local authors and well known ones. Definitely check it out

They are awesome there!! Ask for my zine diary of an Earth angel by Brittney!!

Cozy and inviting. Dog Eared has new and used books, but mostly used. Theres pretty much something here for everyone

Staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful.

I am very pleased with he book curation and would revisit the next time Im in the city.
