Since 1974, Chaucer's Books has been serving the Santa Barbara community by providing us with all our bookish needs. The beloved independent bookshop offers over 150,000 titles of all genres, magazines, gifts, stationary, games, puzzles and much more! Serving people of all ages and tastes, Chaucer's also has a special section of the shop dedicated to kids and young readers. The bookshop also regularly hosts events, including poetry reading, storytimes, author talks, and book signings, making it a popular hub for all readers, writers, and book lovers. Weather you're a local or visiting, we recommend everyone stop by Chaucer's Books to browse the cozy aisles, get the best book recs from staff, and to support a local veteran and women-owned business.
Devin had the opportunity to interview his friend and Chaucer's co-owner Jen Lemberger who's been running things for just over a year. Devin and Jen walked the aisles and chatted about the latest book recs, women in business, and even competed in a book gift wrapping contest. Watch our reel here to learn more!
Chaucer's Books is located in Loreto Plaza at 3321 State St. Learn more here!
