Gallery Bookshop & Bookwinkles

Cozy bookstore with resident cat. Great selection of books. Awesome view of the ocean. Well laid out.

The Gallery Bookshop in the beautiful town of Mendocino is an amazing place that is inviting and offers all the services you might expect from a larger facility, but with personalized service. There's a unique elevated section in the back that used to offer kitchen gadgets and such, but has now converted into a stationary store with a broad array of beautiful stationary and associated supplies for your writing pleasure. Don't miss the opportunity to browse through current new releases and award winners as well as old favorites. The view out the front window of the Bay is also as amazing as the staff and selection they have to offer.

We visit Mendocino 2x per year for 5 day stays & the 1st place we stop is the Gallery Bookstore. Basically, it’s one of the very best bookstore EVER and visiting the bookstores Gatsby cat 🐈‍⬛ is a must as we have 8 cats that are back home which we miss whenever we leave the Cabin. I bet my husband last time $200 bucks that he was wrong where a local bakery was in town..I won & quickly navigated my way towards the Gallery to have a fun 2 hour shopping splurge & found so many books that I didn’t even know that I needed, but definitely wanted, as well as ordering 2 additional books rather than from Amazon, which shipped directly to us within 7 days of the order. The owner was extremely helpful as are all the folks that work there . I already have 3 books I was just about to order, but I’m waiting til’ we go up there next week, better to give it to local small businesses than Amazon, right? So many books to choose from and a variety of subjects and great gift items. Put it on your list of things to see in Mendocino . You won’t regret it !

This is what a book store should be. A wide selection, helpful staff, great children's section with book for all ages, even young teens, and dog friendly to top it all off. The whole family enjoyed our visit, and they gave great tips on where to go for dinner.
