I absolutely love this little shop, and stop by every time I'm in town, even plan my drive around making sure it'll be open! The owner is very sweet and helpful. What a great community spot!

A beautiful store that has a great selection of books. Everything from children's, YA, adult, and local! We stopped by on our way to Homer because I had finished my book and need another for our trip. We ended up stopping by again on our way back through two days later! They have a cute little market attached to the back as well. If I lived local, I'd be here a lot.

Maybe the best small town bookstore I have ever experienced! Well organized, incredibly friendly staff, one of which is often the owner. Her love of books, reading, and her community shines in her thoughtful interactions with customers, and the amazingly full section on all things Alaska and Kenai Peninsula. I never leave River City Books empty-handed, and they always offer to wrap anything I buy if needed, for free. Hope you all enjoy visiting as much as I do!

A gem, a quiet sanctuary from Soldotna’s traffic, a treasure trove of Alaska books, such as Fox Island Stories, and other great books. But that’s not all! Lucy’s Market, attached, has healthy lunches and fresh baked breads. Located on the owner’s original homestead. I will always stop in Rivercity Books when i travel through Soldotna. The lunch plate, packaged in a handy box, is perfect for a fishing trip. Rivercity Books is an all-time favorite. If you love books and healthy lunches, you’ll love this place.

Amazing food, friendly and customer forward service and wonderful baked goods served with a variety of unique and wonderful items to try. The book store is clean, creative and well organized and includes some wonderful seating to rest and eat the bakery food. A must stop for Soldotna and one of my favorite spots to show people or enjoy in privacy.
