So very helpful! I was looking for a specific book for my mother that she wanted. It was an esoteric spiritual book, but they looked it up and although they could not supply it they helped research it out and provided me options as to where we might find it. Really appreciated their assistance! Thats why we love our independents: caring customer service!
I love me a good bookshop! Diesel is tucked away in the Brentwood Country Mart, which is worth exploring in and of itself. Due to COVID you cant wander around the store, but the staff was useful in helping me find the book I was looking for. I recommend checking online before visiting to make sure the item youre looking for is in stock. Cool vibe and cant wait to check it out more post-COVID.
I order books periodically from this store and their second location. Always have a great experience. During COVID lockdown, I had the opportunity to attend many of their virtual events which were engaging and a lot of fun. Highly recommend!
The kind of place you look forward to going to a day in advance. Thoughtful, helpful staff. They look battered at the moment by people not wanting to indulge safety protocols. Im so grateful for them & this place. Especially right now. Yes, you can buy books cheaper online sometimes. You cant stumble across a new book in a different genre the same way you can in real life or from the recommendation of one of the voracious readers that works there. I miss working next door. It was always an escape. Now its a treat. See you tomorrow.
Great service and communication – even over the ocean ;) Also very friendly people! Would recommend!
Knowledgeable, thoughtful staff, always great collection of books. the other day I bought three books as a present over the phone and it was waiting for me curbside beautifully wrapped. a unique treasure in todays world.
Great books and knowledgeable staff!
Local, well stocked, welcoming, and great and knowledgeable staff. Fantastic service to help when you are looking for something in the store or need guidance on a book category. And ordering something couldnt be easier. A favorite destintation where I find what Im looking for as well as always a pleasant, unexpected surprise book or two.
I love this place! The staff knows there inventory and a happy to assist. Much like the bookstore s of yesterday before the big box stores put all the other players out. Great stock and fills orders quickly.
Los Angeles is lucky to have such a GREAT bookstore.If you call theyll look and see if they have the title, and then tell you if they also have it used for less...They wont let you use the bathroom though. They will say they dont have one which is such a stupid lie.
Lots of art books. Open to the outside, so can get hot on hot days. Books are cool, but the customer service was kind of unfriendly. I like Book Soup better.
Everything is very organized and I like it. This place is the best for the people who loves books. Come!
I try to buy all of the books I purchase from Diesel. Not only do they have a wonderful selection for a small bookstore, but theyre happy to order any title they dont have in stock. The folks working at the store are friendly and know books! The small country mart the bookstore is located in is lots of fun to visit. If you feel strongly about books and/or reading, visit Diesel and more importantly, but from Diesel!
Found some really nice crime novels.
Nice new store in san diego... curious how in the world they stay in business. First book i looked at was 32.99 and a quick check on amazon the same book was 19... to my home... these guys will not make it
Enjoyable book store. Nice people. Informed about authors. Nice place to browse and purchase. Local feel.
Saved in favorites as its a pleasant, privately owned bookshop nestled in the midst of high end shops. You get all the service without all the attitude. They have a great range of titles. Nice to peruse, banter, and choose a couple things youve been seeking.
A simply super store with wide range of stationary collections and interior decorator ideas. I love this place!
GREAT, QUAINT LITTLE BOOKSTORE ! ! !
Cute little bookstore with ample selection of books without being overwhelmed. There is a little section that has the recommended reads from the employees.
Excellent customer service. I will be coming again.
I made my way all around the book store and found many awesome books! 🌈
Incredibly thoughtful array of history, fiction, art, fashion, culture, kids books, science bestsellers and an erudite, charming, warm, patient staff.They are the kings and queens of special orders and will stock up for your classroom or book club or party at a moments notice.Love the diverse writing talent they bring in for events.They are the reason I have to say: long live independent bookstores.If you are a book addict, these are your people.
Awesome place. Super nice service. Amazing coffee! Try the latte with almond milk and the simple syrup. You could spend hours digging through the books.
Very helpful I needed books in Spanish for a toddler had many the childrens section not very big
An independent bookstore inside the Brentwood Country Mart manages to have a wide variety of hardback and paperback books in its small but cozy store. The staff is very friendly and helpful in making suggestions of some of their more unusual books if you are seeking a gift. They have wonderful childrens books and interesting items at the counter. Diesel also hosts evenings with authors and keeps you up-to-date if you sign up through email. It is heaven sent for booklovers and browsers alike. They validate parking too.
Its really enjoy to read and buy books their.The workers are so nice
Little Hidden Gem that I dont want to share it with others, but the truth is that it is a great BookStore that everyone should know about it.
This is a great store! The people that work here are knowledgeable about the things that sell. I always love a place like this and I am hoping that it will stay in the area.
Friendly, always helpful and savvy staff.
What a bookstore should be! Small, but mighty. Well-curated book selection across many subjects/genres. Personalized service. Free gift wrap.
Its a good bookstore although its a bit small.
Peaceful lovely bookstore in the great farmshop center.
Lovely environment, good collection of books of different categories. A special one in LA
Lovely staff! Awesome area! Support local businesses!
Knowledgeable staff and a really good selection of books. Quality over quantity.
Great little independently owned bookshop.
Its okay, just an average local bookstore filled with pretentious Brentwood locals.
L have never had a problemwith employees, and personally Id rather have an employee ask another member of staff if they dont know the answer to my question then.
Great service 24/7.
Great books, the owner is delightful
Remember neighborhood bookstores?
Comfortable
We need stores. Its hard. To buy. Blindly the items dont look the same.
Great service
It is the best
