One of the best bookstore i've been. Good selection of design / art book as well. The staff is super nice and knowledgeable. A must.

Terrible service. OK brunch. Nice venue.

The greatest place in the history of the world.

Stout would go around the world and bring back rare books and that's how the store was born.

At the midpoint of the Filbert steps, near tourist favourite Coit Tower, The Malloch is a streamline Moderne gem built in 1937. I discovered it after watching Dark Passage, a 1947 Bogart and Bacall film noir. Lauren Bacall's character lives on the third floor and Bogey holes up there. A Deco beauty cruising towards the Bay. It has the coolest lift ever.
