This store is overwhelmingly over stuffed. Not very organized. An extremely amazing gentleman…read morewith a bald head was working the cash register. He greeted every single person who walked through the door and engaged with everyone at the cash register and he's absolutely amazing and he should be given a raise or promoted. Another gentleman who was around him, a bit bigger and taller, was rather unpleasant and talking to another worker there in an unprofessional tone about unprofessional things. Very rough and tough demeanor. As with many places, this place is pretty expensive for a thrift store. But I think a little bit of organization of sizes and items could go a long way to push more sales.

Reparations Club Bookstore is a hidden gem located one block west of intersection of Crenshaw Blvd…read more and Jefferson Ave. on Victoria Ave. It houses a great collection of books written mostly by authors of the African diaspora, and LGBTQ community, but I went there specifically for a book signing and reading, so unfortunately, I didn't have a chance to really take everything in. The store also stocks other items of interest, like a collection of tarot cards. Rachel True, seen below, designed her own deck and authored a companion book to pair with it. It was boxed so beautifully--and autographed!--I just had to purchase a set to add to my collection. I also walked away with a second autographed copy of Tananarive's latest book, Maywood, to send to my daughter as a surprise, and lastly, a Reparations Club tote bag to carry all of my haul back to my car. My daughter and I read her previous book, The Reformatory, simultaneously, and would discuss it once a week (she lives in another state). As I was leaving, I noticed a cozy little area set up towards the front of the store that had a few comfy-looking chairs and large, plush sofa. Maybe there was a chess set, I honestly can't recall now. The entire place is just a cool, chill vibe and the people who work there want you to feel welcomed. You can always purchase books and related items online for less, but money simply cannot buy COMMUNITY. And that was the feeling I got the moment that I stepped into the Reparations Club Bookstore. Let's continue to support this COMMUNITY GEM

Dougie got me checked in at the register and my eyes were spending money while looking around the space at each of the delicious reads. With my trusty notebook, I tried to capture as many terms and ideas possible, while Ashia read from their book and presented information about various plants, thought-provoking quotes, and organizations to support. Being in community with others interested in plants, community gardens, and herbalism felt fulfilling. I found a few cool items to take home (puzzles, word searches, and books for Christmas gifts (gotta start early). Looking forward to the next event so I can bring a friend.

The shop has a lot of small decorative items and vintage-style trinkets, but many of them felt significantly overpriced for what they were. A lot of the pieces looked similar to items you can find at places like BTS, The Council, or Out of the Closet--just with a much steeper markup here. Because of that, it was hard to justify actually buying anything. That said, it's still a fun spot to wander through if you enjoy browsing eclectic knickknacks and vintage-style decor. It's good for a quick peruse, but personally I wouldn't plan on spending much money here.

All baristas and staff are very friendly, and have the best energy when visiting.

The first time, I thought maybe I was…read moreoverthinking it, but after going back, I still got the same uneasy vibe--mostly from the gift shop. I went in to look around and wanted to buy some plants. The person behind the counter acted like they were better than everyone else. They didn't say hello or ask if I needed help--just sat there reading a book in silence. But when an older white lady walked in, they suddenly said hi. I thought I was imagining it the first time, but the exact same thing happened on my second visit. I also bought a plant during my first trip. Everything feels a bit overpriced too. I was trying to support a small Asian-owned store, but I guess I shouldn't bother. Some people just want to be stuck up. I probably won't go back. Good luck to them.
