True indie local bookstore serving the community and providing exemplary customer service with an excellent selection to peruse and take in. Welcoming atmosphere and staff that goes above and beyond to fulfill one’s book quest.

I stopped by the store approximately 1-2 weeks before the September 3, 2023 release date of “Time Without Keys” Ida Vitale distributed by New Directions. A pleasurable exchange and book conversation with Quinn and Emma who placed the order and upon my walk today stopped in to pleasantly find out it was there in a punctual manner. Their team work and friendly demeanor exceptional. I call him The Mighty Quinn as a reference to the song and the fact we both prefer the Manfred Mann cover! Good to have some lighthearted humor in the mix.

If you look at the photos closely there is one with the bag. Pay attention to the store stamp. Quinn stamps each bag one by one!!! This is how much heart and love goes into the endeavor. Support this store and share with others who love books and writer events.

Nice relaxing book store with friendly staff. The store is mainly for young adults and children; the child's book nook is so cute and comfortable! I'd strongly recommend taking a daughter, son, niece, or nephew to have them in an environment that's fun surrounded by books. Likewise to many bookstores, the philosophy section isn't too huge and is mixed in with spirituality books. I think this is a great bookstore if you're an individual who's more politically left leaning. They have quite a bit of books that are from the standpoint of social justice.
They are also a gift store of the sorts selling pins, cards, and the like.
On top of it, the different stores surrounding the bookstore are great. There's a pizza shop next door as well as a coffee shop across the street that has alot of outlets and quite a bit of seating. So once you're done picking up a book, you can head on over caffeinate up and breeze through the book You picked out.

A beautiful bookshop with an amazing selection of books. You can spend hours here discovering new books. Just buy some too and support these amazing local places. I really enjoyed my time there and I could’ve stayed for hours taking in all the gems. Will definitely be back when I’m in the area.

This is by far my favorite bookstore in Los Angeles and our go to for any book that they can order for us. No more Amazon! We always love dropping in here and talking to the staff about what their favorite new reads are, and they also give great advice when looking for something more specific. Support them!

Like this place. Good selection and organization. I called and staff held my book right away, and I picked it up for 18 bucks 10 minutes later. Very well run

Chevalier’s has everything I look for from an independent bookstore: friendly and knowledgeable staff; a warm, inviting space to browse; an expansive yet curated selection that has almost everything I know I’m looking for as well as serendipitous finds I didn’t know I was looking for; and the best research and ordering process the one or two times something wasn’t available.

Went for the first time to this store for an Elvira signing with my husband. Only one of us allowed in unless we bought another book (or had purchased 2 copies). Worst book signing experience in years....won't be going back. Go to Dark Delicacies in Burbank where they actually care about customer experiences during signings.
