It really is such a gem tucked away in the city in a very humble and simple outdoor shopping center, but certainly worth stopping by :) ! I had Googled the best souvenir shops close to my hotel and "So El Paso" popped up on my search ! I am so glad I stopped by here because they truly have some of the most thoughtful and meaningful gifts you can give anyone, whether you are a local to the area :) ! Or whether you're like me - a tourist who wants to bring back something thoughtful and meaningful to family and friends back home in CA :) ! I specifically wanted quality souvenirs that are really unique to the area or region :D ! I met the owner and also one of her employees :) ! Both of them were really friendly and warm ! The owner told me that she is originally from El Paso, but had lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for about 20 years before coming back to El Paso :) ! If I had heard correctly, I believe her employee told me that this store has been open since 2020. I purchased some Mexican candied cocoa pecans, some churro cookies, and some margarita powder mixes :D ! I purchased some Mexican spice cocoa pecans, some churro cookies, and some margarita powder mixes :D ! So far, I have only tasted the Mexican spice cocoa pecans, which are delicious :) ! I haven't tried the churro cookies and the margarita mixes yet :) ! But I plan to gift some of these to family and friends :) ! They also have nice holiday gift sets that are beautifully wrapped and ready to gift :D ! When I was shopping there yesterday, there was a customer there who seemed to be ordering in bulk for a group of people :) ! She was carefully choosing items to purchase as she was conversing with the owner :) ! So for sure, these are wonderful items you can gift to individuals or huge groups :D ! I wll definitely be back the next time I visit the west side in El Paso :) ! The owner and her employee really go the extra mile to take care of you and your needs :D !

TI:ME gives me so much hope for El Paso's future and I hope that in fifty years Montecillo is still…read morethe thriving neighborhood it is today (or is becoming depending on how you look at it). With so many new things coming to EP and visions finally happening (trolley system coming soon!), I'm so happy to see a completely locally owned shopping center open up. No out of state franchises, no nationwide corporation, it's all just homegrown goodness. And not just that, I do believe TI:ME can become a staple of EP, easy. The Venue at Montecillo was the first glimpse EP got at what Montecillo would be like and although there is a flow to the design, these are two completely different areas and I love it. The first thing I noticed when TI:ME was finally ready for the public was the word "Time" written in Old English Font. At first I didn't know how to feel about that...did they just take the easy way out and copy the most recognized logo for almost, I don't know, the last two hundred years, give or take? Or is it merely a coincidence, an oversight? I'm willing to bet on the former, but it grew on me and I kind of can see why going with something so easily recognizable would be eye-catching (especially for out-of-towners). I just wish they wrote "TI:ME" instead of "Time" because the colon is definitely part of the name and all caps is their actual logo (in a different font by the way...Arial Narrow maybe). I went back and forth because it does seem like a blatant ripoff of The New York Times logo...as simple as it may be. Mind you, this inner turmoil with the name took place in the matter of seconds so before I even made it up the steps I had decided I was okay with it (not that me being okay or not being okay with it really matters). TI:ME is anchored by three eateries, Catina Malolam, Stonewood, and Hillside Coffee & Donut Co. All equally impressive in design and menu. Each is completely different and has a unique style. What is the rest of TI:ME? Mostly re-purposed shipping containers. It's cost effective to work with and is just gorgeous to look at (when done right...and it's done right here). TI:ME only utilizes the first floor of the shipping containers used and although I would've loved to see the second and third floor of these containers used, I'm still a zealous fan of this, in it's very European meets San Francisco way. The shipping containers are divided up so there's anywhere from two to three boutiques in each. TI:ME was smartly designed and provides a pleasant amount of shade if you decide to stroll from shop to shop and shelters you from the noise that is Mesa St. And the collab of EXIST (check out @exist1981 on Instagram if you don't know what I'm talking about or better yet just Google it) pieces throughout the center is possibly my favorite thing about it. Also vying for my love and attention is the mixed materials used to design this place. I seriously love any place that can take old and put it with new and make it beautiful. Wood is used in many different ways here which is utterly refreshing to see in a city that usually sticks to bricks or stucco. The many woods used are mixed in with metals and cements and the occasional bricks. The only material I'm not particularly fond of is the cinder-block. It feels like an afterthought and it makes me think that wasn't originally intended to be part of the design, but was done to meet a deadline and cut costs. Not just that, the craftsmanship is shoddy at best. It appears rushed and looking at it, I don't doubt that it will need to be mended sooner rather than later. My craftsmanship remarks also apply to the brick fountain in the center of TI:ME which already has loose bricks. In TI:ME the cinder-blocks and bricks will actually look beautiful because of the natural wear and tear from the wind and rain, but to have to look at it now when it could have been built a little better is just a tad disappointing (see what I did there at the beginning of the sentence,,,eh, eh?). Regardless of the far and few kinks of TI:ME, I absolutely am obsessed with it and the surrounding Monticello area (and what it will be very soon)! I think they did a great job executing a brilliant idea.

Maybe they are, since the cold brew flavors are so unique here. Overall, an unexpected gem of a find in El Paso and one of the best coffee shops I've been to in a while.
