Since my child has been home from college, she's been dragging me to every comic and anime shop she…read morecan find -- and this one was such a cute surprise! 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.

Parking isn't exactly the best as they're located on a main street with very limited free parking. We drove around the neighborhood on a weekday and found a spot near a residential area about a block away from the shop.

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!

Turns out there weren't too many. Lots of bedding stuff (woo, if I never want to replace my Asian blanket), some undies and bras, towels, kids warm weather stuff, jewelry. Prices are decent. 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.
