Spotted SF / Noe Valley / Omnivore Books
Alas I’m adding some Noe Valley gems to the mix! Starting with this dear little bookshop solely dedicated to cooking, growing, and just loving food. I was exploring my old neighborhood when I stumbled on this spot, which carries a vast selection of both vintage and new recipe books + magazines. There were so many of my favorites lining the shelves. Bunches of celebrity chefs also make a guest appearance at the shop to share their stories and sign their books, so be sure to check the calendar to see who might be popping in next.

Why have I never heard of this place before?! Books and food – two of my favorite things! And I think pastry chef David Lebovitz will be signing there soon. Definitely reason enough to make a visit to this place!
I love this bookstore! Such great photos to capture the essence of Omnivore.
Thanks Jamie! I’ve really been enjoying your site and your Instagram pics. Everything looks so fun:) Pretty wedding you just had, too!
I’ve missed this on my stays in Noe Valley over the past two years, frequenting Phoenix Books instead on 24th Street (which I believe is now up for sale). I will certainly add this to my independent SF bookstore list next spring. Great photos by the way!
I’m glad I just discovered this place myself. Such a great collection. And thanks for your nice comment, too:)
