This sweet little bookstore really touched my heart today. That is so truly unusual. My son saw the…read morebookstore when we were walking around town but we missed the closing time two days in a row. My son loves books and bookstores so we made an effort to get there today. We walked in 5 minutes before closing because I missed that they closed at 4 when I had remembered 5 (my issue). The staff politely let us know it was almost closing time. The staff was thoughtfully helping people with suggestions for different books and were pretty busy as the whole town was hopping. My son picked out a book that he knew he would like and another that he thought maybe was less important and decided on the sure thing. He then realized he didn't have his wallet. That was fine as I was happy to buy the book. When we got to the counter the staff told him about a program that gives books to special young men in memory of a special man who had died, from his family. My son has struggled with social situations and skills because of a developmental disability his whole life and the staff did so well with him and he was so happy with that book. He reassured them that we were happy to buy the book but they let him know about this young man and his family and that they wanted to do this. Honestly so incredibly impactful and sweet. I hope the family of that man is able to know how important their gift is.

Love this local, independently owned bookstore in the heart of Cannon Beach. The store has an…read moreimpressive collection of books thoughtfully curated and arranged in super helpful categories like "great beach read," which for those of us visiting the coast, sometimes we want an easy, light and entertaining read. I particularly enjoy perusing the large assortment of "staff picks," a great introduction to titles and authors not on my radar. The store has an easy and welcoming flow with shelves along the perimeters and round and rectangular tables in the center with books arranged by certain topics. It's election time so one table dedicated to current and past elected officials. Lots of current titles, gorgeous "coffee table" books with amazing photography, and classics. I always find something or many things here! All Covid precautions being implemented; you must use sanitizer when you enter wearing a mask. And limited number of customers In store. Other than that, it's book store browsing business as usual.

The last time we visited Astoria in 2024, we were not "locals" but vacationing. We explored Astoria…read moreall day and landed downtown in the evening, but sadly, it was too late for me to visit Lucy's Books. I patiently added them to my "must see first" list. Cut to Mother's Day weekend 2026, where we made it a priority to explore downtown during the day, and I finally got to shop at Lucy's Books! The bookshop is bright, airy, and welcoming. What I love about this shop is that it is so open, but not crowded. While there is an opportunity to add more shelving and books, I appreciate that it's not packed. The selection is plentiful and feels intentional. There's something magical about wandering into a cozy local bookshop with no other intention than letting a book find you. And, a couple of titles did find me on the featured shelves! I always enjoy seeing bookseller recommendations. I chose Lost Coast Literary by Ellie Alexander (just finished and loved), and At the Coffee Shop of Curiosities by Heather Webber. I look forward to returning again and again to see what other books need a new home. :o)

Shared parking lot spots and street parking were full by Cloud & Leaf Bookstore. I found a spot a few blocks away, which made for a pleasant walk. This indie bookstore is a bit cramped, but did the job having a variety of titles to browse or purchase. I opted to snag instead the last long sleeved Tshirt with their cool business logo for $25. Easily this would cost more back home. Happy with this purchase.

A delightful experience. A wonderful bookstore with an awesome variety and knowledgeable kind…read morepeople to assist you with your choices

Definitely we preferred Godfather's Books & Espresso than another indie bookstore we had visited…read morethe day before (6/20/25). Disregard the brief Yelp description, this indie bookstore has a vast selection of titles organized by subject/genre (a potential treasure trove) and a variety of merch. The Homie honed in on three books reflecting his interests in military aviation, history, and Chinese cooking. The latter was a great vintage Time Life collection title. I seem to continue my streak of locating unique or sought out titles while on holiday. Last summer it was a French cookbook in Newport, OR. Here in Godfather's cookbook room, I found The Slanted Door. The James Beard winning author/chef had passed away earlier this year and I never received my copy from a TX bookseller via a distributor. Godfather's has that signature indie bookstore vibe, great titles to pore over, and really nice staff who treat both regulars and visitors with genuine warmth. A worthy detour while in Astoria!

Good book selection, cute store but for the service alone. The girl behind the counter set…read moreexpectations they can't lookup inventory which no big deal there but she looked visibly upset to tell it to me. And then when I asked if they had one of their souvenir T shirts in my size she visibly sighed a frustrated exhale. She doesn't seem suited for a customer facing career. Worth it to get books here but try to keep best to avoid trying to interact with the person behind the counter. Hopefully the rest of their staff is competent at bare minimum having a decent attitude when customers walk in. Pretty remarkably off putting vibes. Sad.

Worth the visit! Great prices, good selection and nice customer service. I would recommend.read more

A fun little, touristy store with LOTS OF STUFF! Toys, trinkets, key chains, stuffed animals,…read moregames, refrigerator magnets, collectible shot glasses, sunglasses, some neat old-time lunch boxes, and many items that say "Long Beach, WA" on them, the best kind of souvenir. We've been in the store a couple times over the years looking for tie-die t-shirts and hoodies, of which they usually have a great selection. The day we went "finding," we didn't see a single adult size tie-die t-shirt in the whole store (we searched the whole town that day, actually) so will have to try again at some point. The real draw, in my opinion, is the selection of kites. Really good quality too. The nearby beach is the perfect place to fly them too. We usually visit tourist beach towns like Long Beach mid-week when kids are still in school so we've never had an issue with spotty customer service. So many complaints from other Yelpers makes me think you reap what you sow. Many people come in with kids making noise and running all over the place, touching everything, etc. If I were a shop owner or worker I'd get a tad perturbed too. Just saying. Will definitely be going back to Stormin Norman's next time we're in town. ZOLTAR even meets you at the door and can tell your personal fortune for a small fee.
