OMG, this place was such a wonderful find and we happened to stumble upon it. Everything about it was great!! The book selection was very satisfying, the art work is beautiful, the energy of the store is peaceful, there are nice seating areas and snacks for purchase. I love the importance of community and how it's reflected as well. The owners are very personable and you can see their passion reflected throughout the space. A Must Visit!! I wanted to purchase so many more books but I was traveling and my luggage was already a bit tight. Will definitely visit again in the future.

This place is amazing. All kinds of different works and in different languages. All categories from kids, to teen, to historical, etc, etc. Beautiful spaces and incredibly kind people. I'm a teacher and it's great they offer a discount. There are also events from time to time that I will be checking out whenever I can, as well as enjoying the coffee shop that's there too. Not sure if they have like a "return and earn" program (return the book and get more store credit), but that would be something to add. I'll definitely be back. I loved this place and I think you will too.

We always pass by but this time decided to pop in. I'm happy we did. I'm always intimidated by small businesses because I feel like it's too intimate and makes room for awkward moments but the young lady that made our coffee was so nice and gave off great energy she even gave us a mini tour. She was so nice! Next time ill be sure to take my time in looking at the books. I'll be back for sure

This place is not just my favorite bookstore but my all time favorite place. I think when I die, Heaven will just be Palabras but with all my childhood pets. I haven't been able to go in person since the pandemic, but the online ordering has been saving my life. Excellent communication when there's a delay and lots of awesome books available. Can't wait to be able to attend events there again!

Glorious & large bookstore/community center with good and a wide, beautifully diverse selection of books, cards, stationery, games, tarot cards, and other print media in English and Spanish. I love the spaces for seating, various rooms for exploration and true community entrepreneurship. Phenomenal teas brewed by one of the owners. A perfect place to spend a relaxing morning or afternoon.

Great community-centered, multi-cultural bookstore! My purchases were regarding: An American 'black' social study titled, 'Black Like Me' that was a must in the 70's... AND, A Native American children's story with illustrations, signed by the author! THUS, This is really a multi-cultural bookstore with lots of cool books, all within Coronado walking distance! Thank you for your presence!

This is an amazing little independent bookstore! Since I am a school teacher and a mom, I mostly looked at the children's books. They have both new and used books that are bilingual in Spanish and several other languages. I attended when they were having a special celebration. We found several great books for my son and my classroom along with a few for me from the $1.00 cart!

Palabras serves as a wonderful community center for bilingual folks, people who want to learn spanish or english, and every community member. They have a wonderful extensive selection of books. You'll always find something unexpected but delightful. The owner and staff are great people and are really dedicated to the cause of Palabras. By far my favorite bookstore in the world

Edited review with add in from owners response - Very small bookstore. It does have some parking right out front, which is nice. I was welcomed upon entry which is nice. Response from owner -Backroom with seating as well seating in gallery space, picnic tables, benches and a hammock in our backyard.- during my visit the Court yard/back yard had vendors which was a nice touch.

Palabras Bilingual Bookstore has been my favorite bookstore since they opened in 2015. Their selection of books is very intentional and you will find books there you won't find on other bookstore shelves. They're very community minded and host a ton of great events throughout the year. It's one of my favorite spots to hang out and pick up a book!

This bookstore setting is such a beautiful and peaceful space. There is much to look at, lots of color, interesting topics and lots of unique items especially to give as gifts. Also the art by Jeff Slim is incredible! By far one of my favorite places to visit in Phoenix!

Lots of variety of books emphasizing themes and peoples living on social, political, and economic margins. Got a good stack of titles at fair prices to bring back to MN, where I doubt I'd find as many similar copies of. Great zine shop and library next door, too.

Palabras is an awesome place. I get bilingual books for my kiddo here. The Nurture House hosts some wonderful events featuring local artists that are inclusive and free to the public. This building is a gem and a keystone of the Roosevelt/Grand Ave community.

Palabras is a store who knows who it is. And that includes so many titles that would be hard to find in mainstream bookstores, as well as some amazing local art. They also provide community support and mutual aid. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

The best book store in town. The art is amazing, the selection is on point, the customer service is pleasing, the bathroom is clean, and they have coffee with baked goods. When you shop here you support local. Oh and the have an online store

Palabras is the best space my family and I have ever visited. The vibes are right and the people here are the best you’ll ever meet. They have a great collection of books and they also have really fun and beautiful art and other things for sale.

I went today for the first time and really enjoyed it. They have a lot of Spanish-language titles available which I was specifically looking for. If you want to check out an independent store, I recommend this one. I’ll definitely come back.

Love the selection of books by POC. I often find it hard to have so many non-English children's books available but this place is on top of it! Also, the events held at the location are relevant, fun, inclusive, and meaningful. …

Taking Spanish classes here on Thursday nights. I would have never visited have it not been for the classes. But it is a very nice small business bookstore with healthy foods and a Cafe inside. Staff is very kind and helpful.

I love this place . Very open and welcoming energy for sure ! I love there selection , their showcase displays always pull me in to learn something new , if the book that U want isn't there , they will order it for U <3

I was hoping to find some books about baking in spanish but their selection was very limited. There was a group just sitting around in the store. Some seemed like they worked there but didn't offer to help us.

Best bookstore I've ever been to! Great fiction and non-fiction selection! Great selection of Spanish language books! Nice to see a bookstore that has grammar and language books for Indigenous languages.

I visited this small neighborhood bookstore with my family. I'm a fan of supporting small independent businesses. We should all help small businesses. Go visit this bookstore and pick up a few books.

Diversity driven the owner is a gem! Rosie has a huge heart and strives to help others as its in her nature...can't say enough about how she is making a difference in the communities who need it most

Always a pleasant experience. Love was certainly in the are February 13th. I bought a gardening book in Spanish and English. Coffee, Jewelry and Seeds to plant a garden for the Bees! ❤️

Love supporting the local community, while also finding books and literature here that I haven't found elsewhere! Don't worry, you can still get classics and current books here as well!

Very cozy place, and hundreds of books, magazines, zines, textbooks and more. Has it's own little coffee shop as well too with a variety of organic options. Very nice people too

Went to open mic night and found out what a great place this truly is. Highly recommend the book store. Even found some amazing sage lavender spray for my home. …

Small book store kind of easy to miss so don't blink you might miss it. Entrance is in rear. Didn't find the book I was looking for but I will return in the future.

An authentic, real, precious, lived cultural experience. Come here with your best vibes, leave with inspiration, literature, artistic insight, and community.

Such a wonderful bookstore - an absolute gem! Prices are really good and customer service is marvelous. Lots of variety of authors and subjects. Love!

An amazing bookstore with a wide variety of topics. Wonderful and friendly staff willing to answer any questions. Also, the coffee is not bad too.

Lovely people. Strong selection of books. They have a teacher discount!!! Only visited once yet it is one of my favorite places in PHX. …

Amazing selection of books in Spanish and English, plus incredible art. Sounds like there is community, too. Everything I want a bookstore to be.

No e tenido la oportunidad de ir pero si dios quiere pronto iré una pregunta tienen algún libro de la saga de Harry Potter o el libro El Hobbit

Love this place and the community that is built into everything they do. Have been to Palabras so many times and everytime I go I am inspired.

Love Palabras! Hope more people support this local business, in person and/or online. Gracias for creating this community space Palabras

Lovely place to go to. I went when they were still building the place and it still seemed quite nice. Can't wait to go again.

I went here last Friday for a poetry read for LGBT+. I had a great time. I only wish that the chair were more comfortable.

Great bookstore! They have an amazing selection of books and the staff was really friendly. I will definitely come back.

Great selection of books. The events there are also great. Always treated very and welcome. A staple for the community.

A little tricky to find, and the sign is not lit. But the atmosphere was great and the staff are super friendly!

Love this place!!! I especially love looking through all the old books...reminds me of my childhood …

Excellent selection of Spanish fiction! I immediately fell for this bookstore. The layout is comfy.

Beautiful wonderful place with an amazing sense of community. Never felt more welcomed in my life.

Enjoyed the welcome, great background music, local artist's work, and knowledgeable store clerk.
