It's the cutest store that sells items from several different people that rent space inside. It has tons of items from antiques, to Furniture, to clothing, to nostalgic candy and everything in between. It's especially nice to go during the holidays, as they have tons of great items for gifting, or decorating. Some of the booths will have sales on their items as well. I've done several articles of clothing from here that I really loved. There is plenty of street parking around, and you can walk to other stores and restaurants just a ways down the street. They have frequent star events where they will offer treats and drinks as well. Check this place out first your holiday shopping, or just all year round. It's definitely unique, and has the most beautiful items inside. I'm sure you will agree once you make a visit.

You will think you are in Provence or anywhere south of France after entering inside Olive & Cork…read more I always think San Diego has a passion for anything French and even in this adorable gift shop you can get your Eiffel tower fix: for $40 you get a metal tower that adorns your dusty corner and brings you a little bit of oh la la. If that is not enough, there are hundreds of other not chess charming useless (or not) items. Enthusiasts of having a salt an pepper shakers with the shape of a cute petit cochon and a mignon poulet...here is your place! You can find the cutest things for your kitchen or that someone nice enough to invite you to her/his place for dinner. Be a nice guest and get something from here! This spacious and luminous store has been occupying prime winery real estate for a few months now and is a nice addendum to the other gift shops. You can get also something of relatively local flavor, such a Ramona olive oil (expensive, but who does not want the extra virgin golden liquid in their table and help the local agriculture?). You can also taste some of the oils they have on sale, all made with local products. My favorite items of all today, other than the Eiffer tower (I just love them!) was a nice poutpourri of dry roses and other exotic flower and greenery with mini terracotta pots in the bag. I will come back to pick it up when I forget that paying $22 for that hurts my pocket! But smells so good and looks even better.

I thought the food was delicious. It started with some fresh fruit and then we had our choice of broccoli cheese or tomato basil soup. A few girls in our group got each and both were enjoyed very much. The pastry tower was really lovely. Standouts for me were the egg salad sandwich, shepherds pie and chocolate mousse. We tried a few of the teas, everyone loved the Buccaneer Black Tea and the Peaches & Roses. The women who owned the business were so nice and we had fun looking around the little shop afterward. We would definitely return to this business.

Going here has changed my view on High Tea. I live close to…read morehere, and walk Grand Avenue a lot, I pass by the Grand tea room, a lot and have never been. I can't say I had the interest in going, however that changed and my curiosity about what a High Tea was, and the crowds here at "Tea Time" left me wanting to try it out. This was not just Tea, this was a bounty of tea, they had so many different types and flavors of tea (40+) that you sort of want to try them all, while technically you can as the tea is unlimited, but trust me you won't as the two pots of tea you start with, is a lot of tea for two! Sure, in a larger group you can try a lot more, but it's still a lot of tea. The Grand Tea, High Tea option was what we went with, and you started with a soup, followed by a tiered selection of sandwiches, desserts and scones. I assumed that I would have a snack here and then get something else to actually eat but I was filled to the brim when I left here. This place was full to capacity when we went, but you did not feel encroached on, the owner Louisa, the servers, all amazing, welcoming and nice. I feel like I was a bit unprepared as everyone else was dressed up with little hats, and my wife and I had no little hats! Next time, I will 100% at least sport that little hat, and there will be a next time, absolutely great experience!

From the parking lot to the building it is all paved flat ground, and the door is always left propped open so it's easy to come inside. Experience: let me first say that the shop owner, Rachel, is so awesome and friendly. She will always greet people entering the door and she is easy to talk to. She will answer your questions and give you great deals on things. If you want something and they don't have it, She will order more for you and then contact you to let you know it came in. All around, this store is awesome and has a great selection of glass, t-shirts, Jean jackets with custom designs, hats, jewelry, candles, and more. I will forever recommend this shop.

This is a great addition to the mall and something fun to do if you're just walking around…read moreshopping. They do allow walk ins, but you can book a reservation as well. You walk in and the employee will give you a run down on the process. If you want to take your ceramic home the same day, you can use acrylic paint, if you don't mind waiting you can choose to glaze it and there is a $5 firing fee. We chose to do glaze and wait a 1-2 weeks and they texted us when it was ready. (Only took a week) In terms of inventory, they have cute Knick knack ceramics you can make or kitchenware like plates, bowls, coasters, etc. I also saw people painting canvases so you really do have a lot of options if you're looking for a fun craft day. Pro tip: do multiple layers if you're gonna do glaze. I'd recommend at least 3, but 4 or 5 if you have the time.

There are no bathrooms and you would need to walk over to use Target's. Mckenna was working the cafe when we came in. She's only one person but quite knowledgeable about the two paints offered - acrylic and glaze. Acrylic paint can be taken home same day. They apply a clear coat finishing spray and it will dry same day but may take a few hours. Anything with this paint would not be safe to eat/drink on if you get a plate/cup. Glaze will need 3 layers and would be an additional week to 2. When you paint it, it will look a bit chalkier but with the glaze, will turn shiny. There is a $5 firing fee. I believe this is okay to eat or drink after they glaze it. You could first choose which piece you want to paint, could be a cup/plate/dish or a figure. Pricing fluctuates depending on inventory. Ceramic pieces prices range from $15.99 to $50.00. They also offer canvas painting which prices range from $15.00 to $23.00. It's perfect to just paint and let your creative side come out. We enjoyed our time here painting. We also saw a few others come in either for date time or family time. One family was clever in that they had several kids, so they had each kid paint a teacup. If you don't finish or want to come back another time, you can always leave your piece with them and return to continue painting. You will need to pay though so they have your number on file to contact you (if you are getting it glazed) and also for you to resume your painting piece there. My girlfriend who was visiting, enjoyed our time here as we caught up talking and chatting while painting our shells. She had to do hers acrylic as she had to fly back to NY the next day. We ended up staying close to closing hours, so Mckenna helped do a quick spray - put it in a box for it to dry (due to the fumes) and let her take a picture of the spray to give it another layer when she went back. I did mine with glaze and got a text message it was ready a week and two days that it was ready for pick up. Very satisfied with our visit here and may come again.
