There's something here for everyone. If you want an Almanac from 1980, they probably have it…read more Looking for a rare beanie baby? You'll probably find it here. This is one of those places you can get lost in for hours upon hours as the sun fades into the moon. The prices fluctuate as the books come manufactured with the prices on the back cover, but that's a non issue.

It is so cute and artistic, the smell alone walking in had my book heart SOARING. The prices were so reasonable, the woman working the front desk (wish I remembered her name) was kind and helpful. She also let us know we could bring books to sell for $1 each or we could use it as store credit! If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping in for a great book and great company.

This is almost certainly the smallest bookstore--new or used--you have ever seen. It is one small…read moreroom, smaller than a kid's bedroom. But there are some nuggets to be found here. The store is located in the upstairs shopping "mall," along with a bunch of either tiny stores. I would estimate at least a quarter to a third of the books are of the sci-fi/fantasy genre. Here is where you may find some very obscure but excellent out of print titles. The fiction section is also well-curated. The rest of the books are a bit of a hodgepodge (travel, humor, etc.). I found the prices to be very fair. Be careful, though: some out of print books are priced accordingly. Worth checking out, if you are a book nerd.

I'm so glad we found this place, there's a good selection of books and really good prices. There isn't an attendant around, but the cashier was very friendly and I even got a bookmark with my purchase! I like that books were organized and they had a section for young readers and kids. I even found a couple of hard back Nancy Drew books I read as a kid! There were a few classic Golden Books too. The middle section has some great table books. There's a mixture of classic and new and it was fun to search.

It is family owned and a true independent book store. The owner is wonderful and the staff is just great. They have good prices and I bet they have what you want.

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 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.

So this huge Baptist church has a full-on independent coffeehouse. No skimping-- teas, mochas, lattes, chai, blended drinks, the whole shebang. They'll even bake you a little pizza or toast a bagel, and they have some candy too (for people to munch on during services??) There's also a decent collection of Christian books and gifts, but the guy behind the counter said that was going away soon; they're remodeling to make it a proper coffeehouse. Hopefully they'll expand their hours a bit; I'd love an alternative to chain coffeehouses.

They are also willing to order something for you if they don't have it in their store. I'm very happy with the diverse selection they have. Not only do they have a few popular books, but they also have books that I've never heard of before. They are also very culturally diverse too! You can sign up for their rewards program with your name at the register, which is if you buy 10 books you get some money off a book after that. Very cozy ambience and grateful they had a bathroom since I was commuting from OC. I was a little sad that I missed their furry mascot, who was on vacation. I will definitely come back if I'm passing by.
