The Spiritual Heart of Silicon Valley

For more than 50 years, East West Bookshop has been a center for conscious living on Castro Street in downtown Mountain View. We offer a wide selection of books and products representing spiritual traditions and new insights into mind, body, and spirit from around the world.

The store is overflowing with books, and also with unique and beautiful gifts that uplift the spirit. Browse one of the largest collections of crystals in the Bay Area, sacred art, jewelry, candles, aromatherapy, singing bowls, statues, natural fabric clothing, delicate teapots and organic teas, incense, greeting cards, and a large selection of blank-paper journals.

Stop by to shop, relax, or just renew your spirits. Receive guidance and healing from gifted intuitive readers every day of the week — in person or online. We've been voted "Best Place for Unusual Gifts" by the Mountain View Voice nearly every year since 1997.
