The selection of books is perfect for someone who leans more towards the left and beyond.

Had high hopes for this bookstore. Especially since it was…read moreremodelled and new ownership if I'm not mistaken. Staff was not welcoming at all. Atleast the older gentleman that was there. Children's section was small and don't have any classic books. Everything was so political and liberal. (Not just books for gifts) Which doesn't fit a bookstore. Wish they could have just focused on books and had a great section for children with seating and all. This was more of a "doing it for the 'gram" type of store

I had a wonderful experience at Renaissance Bookshop, Music & Movies in Riverside. I was searching…read morefor a specific hardcover book that was not currently in stock, but Gene Berkman went above and beyond to help. Instead of simply telling me he didn't have it, he took the time to recommend several websites where I could find the book at a very reasonable price. Thanks to his guidance, I found exactly what I was looking for, and the deal was so good that I ended up ordering two books. Gene Berkman and Jayne Hanson clearly care about their customers and have a genuine passion for books. Their knowledge, friendliness, and willingness to help make this shop a true gem in Riverside. I highly recommend Renaissance Bookshop to anyone looking for books, music, movies, and outstanding customer service.

Parking is available across the street near the goodwill or if you can get a spot on the street. We came in and there were piles of books next to the bookshelves. The sections aren't completely labeled, but if you read enough, you can see what category the bookkeeper has placed the books in. There isn't a certain order (alphabetically or anything). You go in and you peruse what is available . The bookseller is also hanging out in the front and will let you look at the front room or the back room. We saw the children's section, science, graphic novels, AAPI, and fantasy. Their romance was scattered around the store. I did end up leaving with a book purchase. I will say it's hard to look at everything because the lights were also flickering, although there is sunlight coming in. It was quite overwhelming to look at books. Overall the prices were cheaper than a bookstore chain. It's very nice to see these stores still operating. I'd choose this over a chain any day.

We were driving home from my fathers house this past Christmas Day, and what to our wondering eyes…read moreshould appear...but Happy Time Adult Book Store... I laughed so hard I had tears! The reviews didn't make it seem like a place we could take the kids, so we continued on our long journey home, but it was definitely something that got the entire car full of us laughing ... I had to translate one of the establishment's more eloquent reviews (it was pure gold - I can't help myself...) into Spanish so our little guy didn't hear it, but by the time I made it through laughter and tears and sides aching from giggling like a 12 year old, I decided that since we stopped here and took time to crack up in front of an adult book store on Christmas, it merited going into the book of reviews, if for nothing else than for sheer novelty. Actually, the outside of the place didn't look super sketchy and the street was otherwise deserted, which enabled us to take a few minutes to truly appreciate the magnificence that was the Happy Adult Time Book Store. It sure beats the Sad Adolescent Time No WiFi Store... :) Best Christmas novelty detour ever...and not even a need to get out of the car. Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!!!

There's usually always one or two kitties in the mood for either playing or being pet. You get kinda attached to some of them, but they're also up for adoption so they might not be there the next time you go. They do have some resident kitties though - Sugar is very sweet and not up for adoption. She'll always let you pet her. Staff is kind and will answer any questions about the kitties. I always ask if there's a lot of children or too many people when I go, and they'll let me know if there's too many. I just want to relax with the kitties and my book and it can be a bit noisy and distracting when it's a bit full. I'll usually go to Cafe Caprice around the corner for an hour and then come back for quieter kitty time. They also have cute local art up for sale around where you play with the kitties and it's nice to look at. I usually just grab a soda when I go there as I've already had my tea/coffee for the day, but would love it if they got their beer and wine license. I would totes have multiple glasses of wine whilst chilling with the kitties if they did that (the cat cafe I frequented in Charlotte had it). Overall, fun place to pet some kitties and get away from your problems for a bit.

There is a senior team member that seems really not happy to work there but I understand it's a ton of stuff. The value is half and half. Whoever determines the "value" is probably someone just looking it up on the internet and guessing the value. Some stuff is great value and some stuff is really over priced. But this place is GREAT for niche market!!!
