As much a specialty bookstore as a community hub for foodies, Omnivore Books is a cookbook hotspot where marrow-munchers and vegan die-hards alike can commingle and find relevant, topical tomes on the well-organized, efficiently-displayed shelves in this Noe Valley food-lit wonderland. With a handsome selection of brand-spanking new cookbooks by contemporary culinary stars, thoughtfully selected and curated inspiration for international eats that span gastronomic trends around the world, and even antiquarian and collectible books for the food-curious interested in recreating recipes that seem unusual (and maybe even bizarre) to contemporary palates, Omnivore Books is a go-to in anticipation of a dinner party or candlelight dinner for two.
