Sofia's Precious Boutique is a cute little shop w lots of Hello Kitty Sanrio and Anime knick knacks. There are also various Funko collectibles and other gift items. The owner is super nice and friendly. She even offered me a buy one get one free coupon for Ding Tea next door. Sofia's had a Hello Kitty "parol" (Filipino lantern) making activity for Christmas, which sadly I missed. I'll have to come back next year for this, if they have it again. Overall, great place to get all things Hello Kitty, without having to go to the mall. read more

It's that time of year, my daughter is graduating and all the wonderful mamas are rightfully celebrated today. Happy Mother's Day to all the amazing mamas that tirelessly work everyday to provide for us day in day out. Lots of love and respect! To honor my daughter I got her a bouquet and she picked the bouquet for her mama. Sofia's is the kind of place that has never disappointed. The owner has so some many ideas and recommendations. If you haven't gone to Sofia's yet, you are honestly missing out on a fantastic place to find great gifts at a reasonable price. read more

Every time I'm traveling with my daughter we always look for cutesy kawaii stores because she is crazy about them. We found Sofia's Boutique on Yelp during our trip to San Diego and decided to stop by. This has got to be one of the cutest kawaii stores we've ever been to and we've been to A LOT! They had so many cute items that I haven't seen sold anywhere else. I usually never purchase anything for myself at these stores but I picked out a boba keychain and spam musubi plushie because they were just too cute and my daughter purchased some other items as well. If we weren't traveling and didn't have to think of luggage space, we would've purchased way more than we did. The owner and cashier were sooo friendly and helpful so that was a plus! If you're into cutesy kawaii stores and want to help support small businesses please take the time to visit this one, you won't regret it. read more

Love this spot! The owner was so sweet and welcoming. So many cute stuff. I mean every nook and cranny was filled with the cutest Sanrio, and kawaii goodies. My daughter was in heaven. This mommy couldn't help, but got herself some tumblers as well. She had a 2/$25 sale going and it was just too good of a deal to pass. We will definitely be back, but maybe not as often, or this mama will be broke lol read more

This shop reminds me of the Sanrio shops that I adored while growing up. But they offer more than just Sanrio and everything is sooooo cute!!! My daughter picked so many items and the total was less damage than I thought thankfully. It makes me feel good to shop this small business because the owners are so nice and welcoming. I love their story as a military family, female owner and minority owner. I will be Christmas shopping there soon and will be back many times to help keep them in business! read more
