This store has all kinds of unique and fun gift items: T-shirts (cat, movies, music, cartoons,…read moreetc.) and other vintage clothes, jewelry, purses, books, toys, collectibles, cards, kitchen and tea towels, and socks, among others. The woman who works there, who I think is also the owner, is very friendly, enthusiastic, and helpful. I am knocking a couple of stars off though because I found the clothing merchandise to be expensive for the quality of a few of the vintage items. One of the shirts I bought I found had a hole in the sleeve when I got home to wrap it, and I would have preferred to have known it had a hole before I'd bought it at the price I did, even marked down. One shirt was stained in back, which she nicely let me exchange later. Another had a fabric that split apart when I washed it in gentle cycle. It said hand wash, but gentle cycle is usually fine for those. I recommend looking closely at all vintage clothing you buy there as it's also not supposed to be returnable. There is a good selection of T-shirts, but make sure you know what you're getting before you leave.

Wow, this place is a hidden gem…read more The prices cannot be beat for stationary. I was excited to see the Uni-ball one p gel pen for the first time in real life. They have a lot of other imported Japanese stationary brands as well and it's an impressive selection with fair prices. They carried kokuyo, campus, kleid stationary and many others. Also I discovered some new brands like leuchtturm1917 from Germany. They also showcased a local artist named Chris Gomez of Kaiju Cuts. They also were selling some books and many Austin souvenir. I really like the Austin public library hat and at $20 it's a steal. The tote bags are also very cute and would make a great gift.

I love this place as much as the kids do- it's an open invite to play and create anything they want to. The staff here is so friendly and I've seen them build a house out of cardboard (from scratch) for a little girl. We are frequent flyers here, if we have an open morning this is easily our top spot to go to. First, the play area is so fun. It's interactive, it leaves room for imagination, and it's always pretty organized. My two year old girl and four year old boy both find things to do and have fun. They have a group canvas kids can add to but also easels set up for them to paint their own creations. The craft area set up is great. Each table is sort of set up with an idea/concept like water coloring, paint pens, a jewelry bead bar for them to make bracelets and necklaces. The supplies are there for your kids to create. They take donations or recycled items like applesauce twist tops, cardboard tubes, etc. these are all available to use. Surprisingly my two year old LOVES to watercolor and all the stickers. I'm waiting for one of their adult nights because I am so serious when I say the vibes are great here. They also have a gift shop in the front entrance with items they use in the studio plus a lot of gift able items. I can never resist looking at what fun new things they have. Every single item in the shop would make a great gift for somebody. A few more woohoo's: *snack friendly, you can bring food or buy some snacks here and they have tables to sit at and enjoy your snack *they have a changing table in the bathroom *big parking lot *easy to book online and see their schedule *staff is good with kids of all ages *next door to Terra toys, I mean c'mon lol

This visit was an accidental find while shopping, but it turned into a very pleasant experience. Pokémon is wildly popular, and it can be tough to track down products, so having a dedicated store like this right in the community is truly appreciated. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate, which made browsing even more fun. Inventory was well organized, and the atmosphere felt welcoming for collectors of all ages. I'm already looking forward to coming back when new items drop. If you're a fan, don't miss it. Come enjoy, explore, and celebrate Pokémon. Cheers!
