Kitchen Lingo Books

Amazing bookshop, so many interesting finds old, new, rare as well as some cookware. I spotted cast iron pans and gorgeous wooden cutting boards. Matt is very knowledgeable and I learned alot from him on my first visit. This bookshop was on my go to list for awhile and I am already anticipating many more visits in the future. Excited about what I may find, learn and grow from. They have classes you can take as well, for all types of culinary interests.

Love that this is a bookstore dedicated to all things food. Very cute store and fun to browse. The employee was very friendly and gave me some recommendations. Excited about my new book and the book bag that came with it!

Huge selection of current, vintage and even some international cook books. Very fun

This bookstore has interesting vintage cookbooks as well as newer publications. What makes this store worth a visit is the owner. He takes the time to share recommendations and interesting stories with the patron. He clearly has a passion for food, history of food, and cooking. A delightful experience!

Kitchen Lego books is a unique bookstore focusing on all things related to food & drink. He has books that are current as well as vintage. His breath of knowledge is truly amazing. I highly recommend you come to his shop and look around you will not be disappointed.

Small store. Had copies of Tiffani Thessin book for her signing today. Looking forward to meeting herb

Great selection of new and vintage books! Super knowledgeable and interesting shopkeep. Worth a trip!

Owner was very knowledgeable and approachable. I grabbed a copy of lucky peach and "unreasonable" for a fair price.

Such a cool little spot and glad we decided to take a walk after our breakfast because we would have never known this was here. I am a huge lover of books and collecting books! I try to read 100 books per year so when I saw there was a books tore I had to check it out. The owner greeted us as soon as we walked in. He let us know about the tour that was going to start in 45 minutes and I wish we had time to spare to take the tour, but unfortunately we did not. The store has so many cool books related to anything that happens in the kitchen. They have books on Mexican cooking, vegan dishes, italian feasts, and so much more. Such a great variety of anything you could think of and all at a great price. I scanned the books really quick since we were on a time crunch, but I would love to go back to check it out and take my time browsing. Also, the tours they host sound pretty good so I will definitely be signing up for one of those. Can't wait to visit again.

My favorite bookshop as someone who loves cooking and food and books. Owner teaches me something with each visit.

I wish I could give this sweet shop more than 5 stars. The owner is wonderful, he is remarkably well versed and knowledgeable and is so generous with his time to chat about cookbooks, recipes, and the goings on of the shop and community events. the selection is unique and curated and truly amazing. The shop has fantastic events, and if you are a cookbook lover you will absolutely find something here you love.

Kitchen lingo is located on funky retro row, 4th street in long beach. It's a small bookstore that specializes in cookbooks. The owner is friendly and knowledgeable. The stock is small and seems to cater to newbie cookbook enthusiasts. A great place to buy a gift for a foodie friend or relative.

It's fun to look at all the cookbooks on display. The owner knows a lot about cookbooks and is happy to share his knowledge. I bought my granddaughter two cookbooks before she returned to college. We spent an enjoyable hour considering which books to buy. I'll return, for sure.

I've been in twice now, and the owner, Matt, is incredibly kind and helpful. The first time my partner was buying a gift for me, and Matt helped us land on a classic Italian cookbook. This afternoon, I went in because I was searching for a manual of sorts, something that would help me learn technique and how-to's. After Matt asked a few questions to narrow down what I was looking for, he compiled a list of 7 or 8 books, encouraged me to sit and relax and sift through, and told me a bit about each one so I could make the best decision. Once I narrowed it down to two, I was having a difficult time deciding...the Italian cookbook with beautiful photos and recipes I was dreaming of making at home, or the once-stop-shop cookbook with technique and information galore. I was torn...but ultimately he helped me make the decision by encouraging me to get the Italian cookbook, but gifted me for free a STACK of Cook's Illustrated magazines so I could still glean education, and apply it to my recipes. I was so floored by his kindness! I had such a fantastic experience, and it's always so helpful being led by someone who is a knowledgeable expert in their field. I'm very excited to return for my next cookbook, as well as cooking and technique classes held their in the future!!
