Super cute candy boutique in Mountain View…read more Found this place by accident while looking for the museum on maps. Super cute! It's located in the shopping strip mall at Mountain View Drive right near Clark Middle. If you have your favorite candy from the 90s I am sure this place has it! Very clean and modern candy boutique. Friendly service and knowledgeable on what they have in stock. If you don't see what you're looking for, just ask! They had what I was looking for in the back and not on display yet!

Interesting flavors for the jelly centers too, all native berries like gooseberry, black currant, blackberry, fireweed, mossberry, lingonberry, etc. There are also some boxes that just have the more standard flavors like blueberry and raspberry. The prices here for their own products are a lot cheaper than elsewhere...$14 box of chocolates here compares to $19 at airport and $17 at gift shops.

Review of New Sagaya City Market - Anchorage, Alaska…read more Five weeks ago, I moved from San Francisco to Anchorage, settling near the downtown area. One of my first missions was to find a coffee spot that felt like home--a place with not just great coffee, but genuine people behind the counter. After trying a handful of cafes, a neighbor suggested New Sagaya City Market, just two blocks from my house. What a win. The market itself offers high-end, quality products. Yes, prices are a bit higher than what you'd find at Walmart or Target, but coming from San Francisco, I was prepared for that. What truly sets this place apart, though, isn't just the products--it's the people. From the very beginning, the baristas here have shown me the most consistent and heartfelt customer service I've experienced since moving to Anchorage. They don't just serve coffee; they connect with you, listen to your stories, and make you feel like part of the community. Today was a perfect example. I slipped in the parking lot (rookie mistake--no spikes on my shoes for the icy ground). After two kind gentlemen helped me up, I walked inside with my spilled coffee. Annie, a new barista I hadn't met before, immediately offered me a fresh cup with such kindness and care. That small gesture meant so much--it wasn't just about the coffee, it was about feeling seen and supported. I also want to shout out Monica and Shea, who I met when I first arrived five weeks ago. They've been consistently amazing--funny, charming, and genuinely interested in conversations about life, community, and even my adventures back in San Francisco. Every time I come in, I leave feeling lighter, happier, and more connected. Thank you, Annie, Monica, and Shea, for making New Sagaya City Market my go-to coffee spot. You've given me more than great coffee--you've given me a sense of belonging in a new city. --- Would you like me to make this version short and punchy for Google/Yelp reviews, or keep it longer and more storytelling-focused for something like a blog or social post?
