    Amazing chameleon!!!!
    Kimberly S.

    Please don't come here I want to buy all the things. This is the coolest shop I have found in a while and the staff was super cool. I will definitely be back soon and dragging all my friends along

    Stopped by this little gem on my way back to Texas. Really cute & imaginative gift shop! I loved all the plants & succlents, as well as the very original gifts! There was even a Halloween themed room that included skeletons having dinner! What a great way to merchandise your goods! The owners were great too! Funny & helpful! Stop by & check em out!

    I'd really like to live in this shop! Lots of fun stuff to browse, from candles, funny gifts and Knick knacks, to curiosities and vintage items. Definitely a spot for inspiration and an overall awesome place to waste some time and find a one of a kind item.

    How I got the plant. $1

    Such a cool shop! I love going to see what they have in stock. Remember this place isn't just a plant shop, they sell art and other cool things. Yes not all plants will be super nice and healthy, I was able to score a plant for $1 and revive it at home. Now it's such a huge plant and it makes me happy that i was able to score it for just a $1! As a plant mama, I enjoy trying to rehab plants. can't wait to see what new things they have!

    Seriously in love with this plant boutique! They also have awesome little trinkets like candles, tees, jewelry, pots more. Support local SD!

    Cute air succulent holder and spritz canister I got at A&A

    My husband and I attended a morning yoga class at the A&A shop. It was the epitome of a zenful Sunday morning! They have the shop set up like a greenhouse paradise w/ all kinds of creative gems in the mix. The shop owners had refreshments (and the cutest Frenchie puppy) for the attendees to enjoy afterwards. I perused​ the shop for lots of trinket gifts. The buyer does a good job of getting items you don't see in every other gift shop. Perfect for hostess gifts or stocking stuffers- just lil' "I'm thinking of you" gifts. They are lining up lots of arts & crafts type workshops in addition to their yoga offerings so I plan to be back soon!

    LOVE THIS PLACE! The owner and staffs were super friendly and this place has a good variety of plants. They even have a rare plant vault. They also sell super cute pots and other home goods. Before i left they even gave me some popsicles cuz the weather was so hot. Highly recommend!!

    I had so much fun exploring Tokyo Central & Main! What makes this place unique is that it's…read moreactually made up of three separate stores--two grocery markets and one dedicated to merchandise featuring everything from adorable Japanese plushies and cookware to cosmetics, electronics, and so much more. And yes...I had to explore all three! Both markets were bright, clean, and incredibly well organized. One of my favorite sections was the tea aisle. As someone who absolutely loves tea, I was in heaven. Their selection is huge, with everything from loose-leaf teas to powdered varieties that you don't typically find in traditional American grocery stores. I'll definitely be back to stock up on a few new favorites. I originally stopped in to purchase a matcha whisk set, but it was a little more than I wanted to spend. That didn't stop me from finding a few treasures, though! I ended up browsing the cookware section and picked up a beautifully designed set of reusable chopsticks along with beginner-friendly M-shaped training chopsticks. One unexpected highlight was getting to try a hand massage machine. It applies pressure to acupuncture points throughout your hand, and wow--it felt amazing! I'm seriously considering going back just to buy one. The produce section also looked fresh and inviting, so I can definitely see myself returning to shop for groceries. Plus, since my sons love anime, I already know they'll enjoy checking out the merchandise store with all the fun Japanese collectibles and character items. Whether you're looking for authentic Japanese groceries, unique kitchenware, specialty teas, or fun gifts, Tokyo Central & Main is absolutely worth visiting. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by--you'll probably leave with more than you planned, just like I did! And you already know you can always thank me later

They tray had about 40 pieces of sashimi, large pieces but a bit uneven cut. It did come in an attractive plastic boat so great to bring to a party. The tray was $55, no tax, ordered online. You pick up at Customer Service near cashiers. I saw online they do Japanese sandwich trays as well and they looked pretty tasty.

    Awesome customer service here! I called over the morning of my discharge from Scripps La Jolla…read moresince SLJ had run out of rental pumps. I was a mess, recovering from a cesarean, had just spent 78 days in antepartum, had a baby in the NICU, hormonal, etc so just needed the process to go smoothly. And that it did! I called over and was assured that there were plenty of pumps in stock. When I arrived, the clerk greeted me right away. I asked about insurance, etc. and got everything squared away as far as payments. She let me vent to her a little about the day I was having and displayed so much empathy. She then carried the pump out to the car for me since I couldn't lift due to my c-section. When I called later to ask for more information for my insurance, she gave me very clear instructions on who I could call to get the information I needed. It was such a seamless process and I'm so happy to have gotten my pump in a timely manner.

    I've heard of this place for years and it was finally my turn to need it!…read more I couldn't wait to take my breast pump to New Beginnings for a "once over" and new tubes. The parking was easy (free if they validate). The store was small, but had all the essentials and the service was amazing. They offered some great advice about my pump and even looked over the other features to make sure all was in tip top shape! While I was looking around there was a new mother, in her hospital gown, being helped with finding a nursing bra. How cool is that! She just had a baby, her milk had come in, and she didn't have to change out of her hospital gown or leave the hospital to find a nursing bra. That's amazing service! Why every hospital doesn't offer this is beyond me! The sales ladies are so sweet and so helpful. This place is wonderful!
