This is my favorite cafe and bookstore in SA! I always stop by when I'm in town. The staff is…read morealways sweet and I love the handwritten recommendations by the staff. It's a perfect place to buy some novelty items like tarot cards, jewelry, socks, tote or reusable bags. Only downside is parking can be difficult!

Love a hybrid business. This independent book store and coffee shop has most things I could ask…read morefor: wifi, coffee (and non coffee drinks), snacks, and seating. Their displays of books are well curated, and they have some knickknacks and gifts for that eccentric person in your life. I do wish the cafe had some gluten free options (pastries looked and smelled so good. The whole area smelled like butter.). And would like an alt milk option that isn't nuts, soy, or oat based (like coconut milk!). Free parking in the back.

Barnes & Noble is always a great time!…read more Frankly I love coming here to discover new book titles or purchase their B&N limited edition books. Shopping books through Amazon or other online retailers can be very easy, but there is nothing like walking through a book store and seeing all the different titles in just one place. Compared to other locations, this Barnes & Noble is not as busy and I like that is just one story building. I also like that they have plenty of spots all over the bookstore where you can sit and they also have a pretty nice size Starbucks. There is also plenty of parking and accessing this plaza is super easy from 410 or 281. Overall, I love coming to this store! The staff is always super friendly and they have an amazing selection.

Probably my favorite location…read more The layout of this location just makes so much sense! Every genre section branches off of a 'main hallway' and you can see over all of the shorter bookshelves so the store is really open and easy to peruse through. They've had what I came in looking for each time I've been, it's been clean and organized every visit, and the café has a ton of Starbucks, Cheesecake Factory, and other more popular chain brand products to choose from if you need a pick me up during your shop as well. Give this bookstore a visit! It's absolutely worth your while!

Wonderful Daiso! I've had these in the last couple of cities I've lived in. It's a great place to…read morebuy inexpensive but nice small items; they have a wide selection of household goods, toiletries, toys, kitchen ware, stationary, crafts, stickers, gift wrapping items, Japanese snacks and drinks. They have some Disney and Sanrio brand items as well. So cute! Their prices are posted with the yen conversion, throughout the store but if not marked, everything is $1.75, but recently they had a price change to $2.25. The items are still definitely worth it and high quality. Their bigger household items are priced as marked. I noticed recently their holiday goods went on sale after the holiday as well. A lot of fun gift items or ideas for favor bags. Nice service and clean, well organized store.

As a first time customer, it was very overwhelming, but the pricing is very easy to follow with signs posted in all the aisles. I was pleasantly surprised at just how much variety the store has and I found some very useful items for my house, including some cute coasters and a set of chopsticks with a spoon. The staff are also incredibly helpful and will answer any questions you might have. I will definitely be going back to Daiso.

You can search their inventory online (and make purchases) through AbeBooks.com. Besides hardcovers and paperbacks, they also have a selection of CDs and audio books.

Daiso is so cute!…read more I've been to this location a few times since it's opened and always leave with a handful of goodies. Plushies, office supplies, home goods, Asian snacks, you name it, it's probably there. It's always well stocked with a few associates walking around to help you if you need anything, and there are yen to USD conversion charts posted through the store to help you price check things. I'd highly recommend stopping in for cheap but interesting gift stuffers and snacks! If nothing else, it's fun to peruse through everything that's there and pick up one of their cute $2 reusable shopping bags.

Was in the area at Curator Coffee enjoying an Iced Pistachio Matcha Latte so I stopped by Daiso…read more I've been to Daiso stores in the Bay Area but never got a chance to stop by this location until now. I didn't have time to go thru the whole store but did peruse some aisles. They're similar to the Dollar Tree/Dollar General concept with offerings of inexpensive mostly Japanese items from about $2.25 on up. There are home items like bowls, towels, utensils, beauty items like hairbands, hairclips, makeup, facial masks, food items like candy, snacks, ramen, Asian ingredients and seasonings, wrapping paper and bags esp. lots of cat-themed or animal-shaped or printed products. I was looking for some Matcha Powder but couldn't find any, just Matcha Tea so I just bought some Arare Rice Crackers. Will come back to check out more when I have more time now that I know where they're located.

I'm so glad we made Belle & Union our final stop in San Antonio! My boyfriend and I were looking…read morefor stationery stores when we came across this beautiful shop, and we're so happy we did. The shop manager, Lori, made our visit unforgettable. She was incredibly kind and took the time to show us the fountain pens as well as introduced us to all the wonderful products the shop offers. You can really tell how much she cares about the customers. If you're a stationery lover or even just curious about fountain pens/journals or the paper goods they have to offer, this is absolutely the place to visit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in San Antonio. Thank you Belle & Union and thank you Lori for such a wonderful experience!

Cute store but staff was not helpful. Three ladies behind the counter and one other customer…read moreshopping. Not one of them acknowledged nor welcomed either one of us into the store. I asked if they carried 2 different items and they answer without even looking up from what they were doing. I asked if they can order it and one answered she can try to order it individually and put out a pen and paper for me to write my info down and quickly walked back to her computer not once making any form of eye contact. I always try to support small local businesses but I will gladly take my business elsewhere.

I love popping into Amy's Hallmark Shop when I am in San Antonio, TX. It is next door to places…read morethat I frequent in the Quarry shopping center. Super charming shop with many items to choose from...great gift shop. They have a plethora of greeting cards, candy, travel mugs, stuffed animals, glasses, etc. to name just a few. It is quite enjoyable to peruse the items they are featuring at the time. One of my main attractions are their sales racks - 90% off, 75% off and 50% off. I scored some 75% off gift bags with hearts on them and the word Love which I can use all year long. The store staff always greet you when you come in and point you to where you need to go. Sometimes, they even walk you to the area. Overall, great shopping trip! Look forward to returning in the future...
