Stories Books and Cafe is Echo Park's prime purveyor of
quality books, organic/fair trade coffee, espresso and delicious food.
Claudia Colodro and Liz Garo opened
Stories in November 2008. Facing a crumbling economy and a chorus of amateur
pop economists predicting the death of the bookstore, Stories opened its doors
and proved the doubters wrong. We were embraced by the
neighborhood, and our continuing growth and success is a testament to the
vitality of Echo Park. As part of the larger literary community of Los Angeles,
we host a diverse calendar of events, from book release parties, comedy shows,
live music, and community meetings. Our carefully curated selection
has made us a destination for book lovers of Los Angeles and
beyond.
The cafe offers baked goods from Home Boy
Bakery and The Village Bakery. We have the delectable Laura Ann's Jams.
Our coffee beans are from Bicycle Coffee.
We sell new, used and rare books.
We buy and trade. Our buying hours are
generally between 11 to 8. Its best to call ahead to make sure a buyer is working.
We do make house calls for larger collections.
