    This place is great but it REEKS of urine. It's the first thing that hit me in the face when I walked in. There is so much to see but the odor makes it vile to stay. There wasn't just one stain but multiple stains on the carpet throughout the whole store. It's a shame that people let the store get so bad with their dogs. Otherwise the store it self is wonderful. They have a great selection of games, books, everything! Just make sure not to sit on the floor to look at what's on the bottom shelves.

    This is a pretty large bookstore located on South Lamar. They actually have a fair amount of used records and other music media, including VHS/DVDs. They have autographed and collectible books, including old vintage Playboy magazines. You can also buy or sell comic books and magazines. It's a quiet place to kick back and read a book and that is largely due to the fact that the entire place is carpeted, thus absorbing some of the noise. However, I could only find five wooden chairs in the entire place and one four top to sit at. No comfy furniture here. Check out the photos included for more insight.

    I've probably been to every Half Price Books in the Austin area going back to the days when I'd scour the shelves as a kid in the old Guadalupe location. This South Lamar location is close to the best with a larger store that carries an excellent selection especially in the collectibles part that I haunt that has all the old out of print books that are so fascinating. On this trip I had a heavy box full of things to sell for which I got $10 and I ended up spending three and a half times that because they take a little time to go through everything and make you an offer. And what else will you do with that time but browse? I will say that this sale was a little more than I expected which was welcome (HPB always offers very low amounts regardless), and was faster to make an offer than other branches, so I appreciated that efficiency. Prices on books are often a little higher than I'd like, but there are always bargains if you look hard enough and I love going through the clearance section. And the inventory is always changing so it's fun to look through every so often. And I appreciate there are sections for every kind of book you could want, as well as large music and DVD selections, gifts, cards, and much more.

    Something about going to a bookstore that excites me. The feeling of solitude of a library... old books that display themselves to you that you've been searching for since childhood... walk down memory lane? Here, a nice little experience in a strip mall off the beaten path. Decent parking and a quiet place to rest and find a past delight to read. Find your favorite, comic book, record, or old reading materials. They've got all different types and genres. This place has new and old selections of games and books. Upon arrival, there was an author inside selling his newly published book which is refreshing to see. Also dog friendly and was able walk the aisles with my pup to explore the smells of history. Staff was very friendly and offered my pup a treat. BIG PLUS!

    Love this place for the rare gems you can find for a good price.. Although there are some items they overprice which doesn't make it feel like you got a great deal. For example there was a Zelda monopoly game that i found there and really wanted to buy but it was priced at 50.00. Normally i would be like, ok, that's seems reasonable but the box was all messed up and sounded like the pieces were all over the place in the box. what really made me put the game back was when i found out how much they bought it for. They left the original price tag on by accident that shows they purchased the game at goodwill for 5 dollars and then up charged the customer 45 dollars. I thought that was kinda messed up how much they were up charging the customer but then i found a limited edition diamond platinum snow white collector set for 14 dollars and that is what i am looking for when i go to half price books.

    See all

    I have followed Assemble Cocktail Workshop on Instagram and have always thought it looked super…read morefun, so when a friend wanted to do a private party for her birthday - it was a no brainer! We arrived a bit early and Lillian quickly whipped us up a welcome cocktail which she called "A Walk in the Garden". It was a prosecco based cocktail and absolutely delicious (and pretty). While we enjoyed this cocktail and looked around the shop... she prepared the workshop space for the lesson. The birthday girl had been given a list of cocktails in advance and was able to select the ones she wanted to learn how to make (she selected the Blackberry Smash & Bee's Knees). One thing I loved about this class is that Lillian gave options with each cocktail so that everyone would end up with a drink they loved. For example, if you don't like bourbon which is typically in a Bee's Knees... you could use gin instead! Then we had the options to make it spicy/sweet/herbal/ etc. By the end of the class... we all had different and personalized cocktails. In addition to the cocktails, Lillian prepared a large bowl of popcorn with specialty seasonings and showed us some of the fun tools that can be used for different prep methods. We also had downtime between making each drink to enjoy them and chat amongst ourselves. This class made for the perfect outing... we're already talking about doing another for the next girl's weekend. I cannot recommend this class enough and will absolutely be back!

    What's not to love about making delicious and fun cocktails with friends?!…read more Lillian's cocktail workshops are a great interactive activity for anyone who is looking to up their cocktail game. I was doing a birthday weekend with friends in Boerne and came across Assemble Cocktail via Visit Boerne. I booked a private Tiki session for 7 of us and it was the perfect way to celebrate with friends. If there's only one or two of you, you can book an open session that's available. We made Mai Tais and Painkillers - both were delicious. Since I had a couple of folks who were preggo, I notified Lillian and she made sure to have two setups with zero-proof "spirits." Lillian was a great teacher and host. She has aprons and leis so the vibes were perfect. The location is a cute bungalow tucked behind another business on Main Street (kind of easy to miss if you're looking for it right on Main Street). The business started at the beginning of the year, so it's fairly new, but add it to your list of things to do if you're in the Boerne area!

Its a chain store from Japan that is known for its value in everyday products, snacks, hello kitty things you never knew you needed. No price? Then its 1.75. Most things are 1.75. There is a yen conversion chat all over the store if things are say 200/300/400 yen. There are made in japan awesome pens, crafts, pencils, paper, origami and other dry goods. You can also grab the soft clay to make "cloud slime". Head to the middle and back where there are bathroom, laundry, kitchen and small gardening supplies. Travel section is great for anything you would have spent 2/3/4 x at Target or Amazon. Small travel toiletry bottles, packing cubes etc. There are dishes for anything you could imagine when eating Japanese style. Every vessel is intentional for foods and drink presentation. Glass sake cups, asian teas, Coffee and tea cups, Things to try: -iced teas (not too sweet). Try the peach or lychee -calpico a milky sweet drink that works well if you wanna spike it with vodka for an adult drink -Japanese snacks.. all savory -Japanese candies some gummy some hard candy. -Pocky.. sticks covered in strawberry, chocolate, or cookies and cream -popncookin kits. Gummy candy kits that look like FOOD. Great for a kiddo activity at home or just something fun do when you are staying in. Hit up youtube for the directions in English. Its SOOO fun! The sushi one is our fav. -instant Tonkotsu ramen is another fav of ours. This is anti-hanger food and better for you than ordering Taco Bell at 1am.
