Known For

Literary community hub with events, exposed brick, and excellent stock

Somos is a literary arts organization and bookshop where the exposed brick and bright and airy reading nooks feel like they were designed to get words off the page and into the room. Every visit feels a little more alive than a standard bookshop stop.

🕐Best time to visit: when a reading or event is on — check their calendar first

108 Civic Plaza Dr B, Taos, NM 87571, USA

Our Take

Somos has an exposed-brick, hidden-gem quality and a curation that feels genuinely personal rather than algorithmic — the kind of small bookshop that makes you feel like you've been let in on something. With only 20 reviews it's still quietly building its following, which for the right person is part of the appeal.
