Book Soup

"This is by far one of the most identifiable spots on Sunset for LA locals. It's been in the same spot for decades and hosts tons of literary and musical events right next to the stacks. If you're trying to kill a few hours and find your next literary pursuit, this is your place. It's downright iconic." - Onyx

"COVID-19 update: In-store browsing is temporarily suspended, but all titles are available to purchase directly from the store online. Just about as famous as the city itself, Book Soup is the sort of place where you stop by to pick up a book, and end up sitting in an aisle, picking through its literary feast for hours. COVID-19 disclaimer: We are working hard to keep our listings as up to date as possible (deliveries, outdoor dining, etc.), but given the evolving nature of local COVID-19 restrictions, we recommend double-checking the information in this guide with any business you plan on visiting. Also, please note that we have not vetted any businesses listed within our guides for their compliance with applicable safety regulations."
