The store is filled with anime figurines, kawaii items, K-pop merch, stationery, and so many adorable finds. She picked out a super cute hat with ears that actually move, which was a huge hit. Everyone working there was very nice and helpful, and the shop itself was clean, bright, and well organized. I'd absolutely recommend this spot to anyone who loves anime, kawaii culture, or just really cute things. We'll definitely be back!

Before we sat down to have a cup of coffee at Colada Shop, we were walking around some of the…read morestores on this strip of Mosaic District when Kimi was like, "We gotta go into this store, I think you guys will really love it." And I'm certainly not one to say no to shopping... and Kimi knows me pretty well - so in we went. In this adorable little shop you'll find a bit of everything: From chic baby toys and gear, to Women's athletica, adorable spice recipe kits, dog treats, jewelry, natural deodorant, candles and so much more that I'm forgetting. The store is immaculately designed. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you're in a higher end boutique - but it's also not stuffy at all like some places. It's just highly curated with interesting unique products, and could be the absolute best place for stocking stuffers, small gifts, making a gift basket and also obviously splurging on yourself. I ended up getting some natural dog treats for the pup, and I almost splurged on some fancy balsamic vinegar. This splurge was for the pup, the next time I come in the splurge will be for me lol. Definitely worth stopping in. If you're someone who LOVES getting little treats and surprises for your friends and family this could be the perfect spot. The mix is eclectic and Kimi pointed out that they even sell this soap that was gifted to us for Latinx heritage month as it's a Latin owned soap company. I feel like it's the apothecary David would open if he was a woman.

This is the perfect place to grab a special gift for a friend and reminds me of those cute, indie boutiques that are on every corner in LA. I hope this shop stays around for a long time.

The hotel partners with the shop, offering guests 10% off purchases, so we stopped in here every single day--even twice one day--to stock up on souvenirs and gifts. The selection of items was great!

Staff was nice and remembered us each time we came in, joking on the last day that we were their favorite customers since we had been there so many times LOL! Overall, this shop is great. Will absolutely be back next time I'm in Alexandria!

Saw a child's Hello Kitty wallet for something like $4. Ended up buying a child's scarf and beanie set that was on sale. 2 for $14 but she let me buy just one at $7. Bought some cutesie small towels at 2 for $10. Over heard the lady who was working tell the customer that the blanket she wanted to buy was damaged and that they couldn't sell it to her.

To my surprise, when we walked in, there were no customers--just the cashier (the owner's wife). My friend and I started browsing the jewelry section and found a few cute pieces, but we noticed the cashier hovering nearby, which felt suspicious. It genuinely seemed like she was watching us to make sure we were "only looking," and it gave the impression she thought we might take something. It was extremely uncomfortable and made it hard to shop in peace. The whole experience changed how I feel about the store. I wouldn't shop there again, nor would I recommend it. The prices are also on the higher side.

Awesome hand lotions, hair perfumes, Turkish towels (I got a great grape [okay, just plain purple] and pink one that's got teal on the other side -- just beautiful and so soft, ooh, what luxury! Turkish towels are awesome because they take up less space and dry far more quickly than other, thicker towels, so of course they end up both smelling much better and being a lot more hygienic. The orange-scented hand lotion is super-luxe, too, with a rich creamy feel and excellent scent. I got the amber hair perfume. The rugs are really nice, with just enough texture balanced together with softness and sturdiness all together in one piece -- and there is an amazing selection of different colours of these area rugs available, all rolled up nicely in a cool basket. Speaking of baskets, they've got them! The baskets have a real beachy vibe and would be perfect for a day (or a week, or more!) at the beach. They're real sturdy and stand up well on their own, unlike some other floppier baskets or of course beach bags out there .... The baskets are also really good for shopping, too. There are cookbooks, fun cooking and cleaning supplies such as the never-before-seen-by-me ravioli-shaped sponges and oh-so-many things to explore, I wouldn't want to ruin it for you by telling you more! The person I encountered was super-helpful, friendly, nice, accommodating, etc. The parking is plentiful (At least it was when I was there.), and if you like pretty, flowery things, there is also a lovely gardening center just steps away ... plus lots of other stuff nearby to explore in Kensington! Very glad I stopped by! Only thing is: it's closed on Mondays. Oh, and I love the name, too! Olive & Loom -- even the name has texture and beauty in it .... A very 'Yay' type of find, indeed!
