Beautiful spirituality store with trinkets and books. Even has a meditation corner where you can sit and meditate in front of a water fountain. I felt so peaceful here.

wow my new favourite bookstore in the Bay
Great content about all meditation items( book, cousins, bench, bowl…). Teller not so enlightened as the content (didn’t know what’s in the store)
Chima boy
East West is such an interesting and calming little shop in Mountain View, carrying an eclectic mix of books, stationery, gifts, clothing, accessories, indoor and outdoor decors and much more—all with an Eastern/Asian-inspired touch. I especially enjoyed discovering a section devoted to meditation and sound-healing instruments, including singing bowls, chimes and other intriguing instruments. There’s something very soothing about the atmosphere here, and you can easily spend quite a bit of time browsing the many unique things they have on offer. A lovely place to wander into and explore!
This bookshop is so wonderful. It has such a calming, serene atmosphere and a beautiful selection of crystals, candles, tarot, books, and other unique gifts. The mother and daughter team who work there are incredibly kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. I’ve been in a few times now, and they are always so warm and welcoming, showing genuine interest in our conversations. On my most recent visit, the daughter helped me pick out some gifts for a friend, explained the meanings and properties of different crystals, and recommended a few books for me. I left feeling lighter and renewed. Such a lovely little shop, I will definitely be back!
I had a really nice experience at this bookstore. The selection was better than I expected, with a good mix of popular titles and some books I hadn’t seen before. The store has a relaxed, quiet feel, so it’s easy to take your time and look around. The staff was friendly and helpful without being pushy, which I appreciated. Prices seemed fair too. I ended up finding a book I’d been looking for and a couple other interesting ones. Overall, it’s a solid local bookstore and I’d definitely consider coming back when I’m looking for something new to read.
Great selection of everything!!!
非常喜歡的一間店,充滿靈性良善正向的能量,有許多不可思議的礦石,以及討論靈性的書籍,可以在這間店找到屬於自己的寶藏,一定要來看一下逛一逛!!!
A great place for fun and unique items especially if you are exploring your own spirituality. A wide variety of spiritual path books. Candles, incense, gift items, and clothes. Not what you see everywhere else
