Founded in 1894 by Adam Clark Vroman, Vroman's Bookstore has proudly stood as a cultural landmark in Pasadena, CA. Initially operating from a modest location on Colorado Street, Vroman's evolved into Southern California's oldest and largest independent bookstore. The iconic establishment has steadily expanded, opening additional stores, including a vibrant stationery shop and acquiring the renowned Book Soup bookstore in West Hollywood. Today, Vroman's continues to flourish as an independently owned family enterprise, upholding its rich history of supporting literacy and community engagement. The bookstore is distinguished by its expansive collection of new literature encompassing fiction, non-fiction, children's books, and international publications. Beyond books, visitors will delight in a beautifully curated selection of stationery—including quality fountain pens, bottled inks, and wax seal kits—as well as distinctive gifts and tasteful home décor items. Vroman's also hosts lively author readings, book signings, and literary workshops, creating meaningful connections within the local community. Adding to its charm, the bookstore features The 1894 café, providing customers with a relaxing space to enjoy wine, beer, and snacks as they peruse the shelves. Combining timeless elegance with an inviting and friendly atmosphere, Vroman's Bookstore remains a cherished destination for bibliophiles, thoughtful gift shoppers, and those seeking a memorable cultural experience in Pasadena.
