A charming and wacky little gift shop which is worth a brief stop if only for the humor and steampunk art. It is tiny but fun.

Unique gifts, knowledgeable staff, and support education.

Kids go back in time to get ready for their future.

A great place for souvenirs that are unique, thoughtful, and contribute to a good cause. Proceeds go towards the writing lab behind the shop for young kids. They have fun enamel pins, books with short stories by the kids, trinkets, and toys. Things for all ages, especially if youre a little nerdy.

Fun little shop, interesting products, supports a good cause, and the shop keeper was as nice as could be. Note that it is a tiny little shop with like 7 shelves with books, bottles, and thingamabobs. Wish they had a little more and were a bigger place, but for what it is, its pretty cool.

Awesome lil shop to pick up a quirky or unique gift. Loved browsing here!

An absolutely adorable storefront. Its a cute place for a date or just to check out. Their work in the community is great too, so you are supporting a great cause.

826LA is one of those rare places where kids and adults can learn from each other and be inspired. I have volunteered here for 2 years, and I learn to love 826LA more & more each day I work. The staff devote their utmost to the students, the programs are innovative and engaging, and a genuine community develops between volunteers and students!

Amazing place. Its run very professionally Alejandra does an amazing job. Tutor are Beyond great! It was however a long wait to be accepted into the program but it was well worth it.

Very quirky and awesome little shop that sells unusual merchandise. Great gifts for kids and teens related to writing, creativity or just fun stuff!

Cute if youre in the area and happen to stop by. Not worth going out of your way to see. Its so tiny! I dont know why this shows up on so many Things to do in LA lists

Great Scott! If you ever in need of canned mammoth meat, this is your place.

Not nearly as good as the Time Travel Mart in Echo Park, but still a cool place for a quick visit.

Selling jewelry. Not to many people where Im at. But theres live music.

Great cause and an even greater organisation

Has good programs that help students read and write

A great and interesting shop to visit!
