    The plug for sonny angel, smiskis, stickers, and everything cute! They have just the right selection and all priced very fairly. My friends who grew up in the East Bay are loyal to Kingstone. The long-running bookstore is ran by sweet and friendly people! It's tucked in the mall, where there's lots of seating outside to eat and take time to look over your cute buys.

    I hope this place stays here forever!! I love this place and I enjoy it more that I can come here and then do my food shopping. I usually come here to get my planner for the year, and also some toys, Keychains or stickers. The owners are really sweet people. We have been coming here for over 5 years. Most of the stuff is reasonable price but some are expensive and way out of my budget. I did however splurge myself on a couple of Studio Ghibli items though. We also bought out kids baby blankets from here. Easy parking, happy lemon (milk tea) is around the corner, and food options.

    Wow this store is so amazing with all their gift products! They also hold many real licensed Sanrio goods. Great items and real Pokémon cards! Service was quick and packed up nicely. They also gave my kids bath bombs for free. We will be back!

    How can I put this...? This store is truly one of the finest establishments I have had the pleasure of visiting in the Pacific East mall. The assortment of items available is simply exquisite, encompassing a wide range of offerings such as stationery, plushes, CDs, albums, posters, and more. The level of service provided is nothing short of impeccable, with the workers exhibiting remarkable sweetness and kindness. This store holds a lot of value to me. I wholeheartedly recommend paying a visit to this establishment whenever you find yourself at the Pacific East mall.

    I saw some cute stuff at the display window and ran in. There used to be so many stores like this in my area but they all closed down so I'm glad I found one here. I bought hello kitty baby in the car sticker, HK cards, HK red envelopes, birthday card and Naruto fridge magnets. I had so much fun browsing and debating what I'm taking home! If you're into this stuff be sure to stop by. It's inside the plaza. Plenty of parking spaces. They accept credit cards.

    Inside the Mall, before you hit 99 Ranch. You are greeted on the outside by Totoro and its plentifulness. You go inside and then you see a huge Totoro greet you :D There are many other things there that I don't remember but they have a wide variety of stationery, cups, magazines. It's a Chinese bookstore! Kawaiiness at its best. Service is nonexistent because they only acknowledge you when you're paying or have questions for them. (you have to go up to them). They also start closing the store before all the customers leave (we found out that their closing time was 7 when their lights went to half dim- didn't say a word to any of the customers in the store).

    See all

    Everything in here is so cute. Such a fun selection but it is pretty pricey for some items. Seems like legit sanrio and other brands though.
