Meet Cute Romance Bookshop

Happened by this super cute new bookstore in La Mesa Village and was very excited to see such a clean and beautifully appointed bookstore with lots of selections and an upstairs reading area. I especially liked that the books had written short summaries by real readers and the Meet Cute Calendar area by the door detailed book clubs to join and author meets with signings! Def a great mix of something for everyone's taste and the stickers, journals, book bags and key chains really add to the fun.

LOVEDDDD this little shop. Beautiful selection of books. Definitely will be going back 😍

Meet Cute is an adorable, romance-only bookshop nestled in the North Park neighborhood. I'm a book lover, and visiting this bookshop has been on my to-do list for quite some time. They offer a great selection of romance novels across different genres such as contemporary, fantasy, dark romance, and even YA. The shop is quaint and charming, featuring reading accessories like stickers, bookmarks, and unique candles. I particularly love their mystery books, which are wrapped and hidden, with only a brief summary on the cover. Picking out a mystery book was fun, and I was quite happy with my choice. However, I wish they had a more extensive selection of fantasy books, as I've read most of what they had in store. Also, the staff could have been friendlier and more willing to assist customers. One thing I love about Barnes & Noble is the consistent greeting and welcome upon entry, along with readily available help. Aside from that, it was nice to finally visit the bookshop. I noticed that they typically offer a bag with purchases, which I wasn't offered. I would have appreciated receiving one of their logo bags after my purchase.

Such a cute and quaint bookstore! They have everything from cute and fluffy romance stories to the darkest and smuttiest ones (which is why I'll be there lol). The space is very welcoming and I love that they do author events and other kinds as well! I also appreciate how they highlight LGBTQ+ stories too. Very mindful, very demure. They also have a fun selection of stickers, journals, bumper stickers, statement earrings, enamel pins, and more!

Amazing! Staff was fantastic and helped a friend with book recs. Great selection, with a lot of signed copies available. Also a lot of cute hats, shirts, mugs, earrings and other fun bookish goodies. Highly recommend a stop in for any romance reader.

Found out about this bookstore through an author’s book tour and decided to check it out while I was in SD! It’s so super cute, they have tons of signed copies of books, stickers for your kindle, even a little reading nook upstairs. Definitely worth stopping by!

Amazing staff!!! The wide variety of romance genres are amazing. I literally planned a long weekend in San Diego just to visit here and it wasn't wasted at all. I came home $500 poorer, but for the better. Cannot praise this place enough. Definitely check out their mystery books "don't judge a book by its cover" section if you stop by. Both the ones I got I wouldn't have picked up before, but they ended up being right in my reading zone and so good. Cannot recommend this place more. GO GO GO!!!
