Great coffee shop serving delicious chai latte in Downtown Olympia. Stopped by and I was…read moreimmediately greeted and the interiors of this place is lovely.. would be amazing to get a book enjoy my chai and spend hours here.. i heard they had good chai latte so ordered that and it did not disappoint.. infact it was amazing.. not too strong on the spices but good enough to impart fabulous flavor to the chai.. many other places I had chai latte taste artificial and syrupy but here it was divine.. All in all will stop by and try their coffee as well but for now a fan of their chai latte..

I was walking to another store when the window display caught my attention here. Inside, I found an…read moreeclectic mix of pop culture, novelty and department store beauty. It had reflection of a Seattle store, Archie Mcphie. I don't know If the two are related, but I don't know if Archie even exists anymore. I used to do their parking lot sale, but when they ended it 15 years ago, I stopped shopping there as that was the only way to pay a reasonable price for items imported in bulk from China. A lot of displays and boxes here were empty, I don't know if they had a holiday run or are just bad at restocking, but I reached for a few things that just were there. They had some cool Olympia based items and a fair amount of pop culture and although not cheap, the pricing was fair and based on the thrift shops we visited, the kind of stuff that holds our attention was cheaper here than it was second hand in other places. At the end of the day, there was nothing here we had to have so we left empty handed. Every city needs a store like this. If merch was stocked , we certainly would have bought something.

I went in today to find an outfit for a play I'm seeing tomorrow night. I have nothing to wear in…read moremy closet at this time because I have gained a lot of weight in a very short amount of time. I entered the shop feeling very uncomfortable in my own skin, looked around, and saw clothes that looked and felt nice, but I wasn't sure what I should try on, what size I should wear, or where to start. I explained my situation to Angel and she took me around the store and helped me to find clothes that I would feel good in. She assured me as that they it was "ok, they're just clothes" as I was tearing up and getting overwhelmed. I tried on several outfits and felt horrible in all of them. I took photos to send to a friend and was trying not to cry. Angel checked on me and encouraged me to come out if I was comfortable. I came out in the next outfit and even though I wasn't happy in it, I loved the feel and the color. She handed me a belt, and a scarf to try. I felt like I was being choked by the scarf so she handed me a thinner scarf. I took photos of those options and sent all the outfits to my friend. With my friend and Angel's encouragement I settled on the last outfit. I had been hesitant to even try on the outfit due to the cost, but it turned out to be 50% off. Even if it hadn't been, I would have splurged. Nobody helps you shop like this anymore, and most clothes fall apart. You get what you pay for. Im trying to learn to accept my new size, and the new way my body interacts with the world with all its limitations. Angel truly made me feel as comfortable as I possibly could during a very vulnerable situation. Yes, they are just clothes, but my body has been through so much 15 months, including multiple surgeries, and subsequent complications. Yesterday the thought of going out to buy a dress made me want to crawl into a hole, and today I left Lark with everything I needed for an evening to celebrate my birthday.

Wow!! So many LEGOs! I visited here with my 13 yr old son, after a recommendation from one of his…read moreteachers, to check out if it's as good as it sounds. My kiddo loves LEGOs and will build any set immediately, when gifted to him. We have a little reward incentive in our home that if he reaches a certain number of points from completing chores, he will get a LEGO set from us. He wanted to stop by here ASAP afterwards lol. Parking is super tight and tricky. Entering the parking lot to get to the front of the store, you have to turn uphill and it's one-way parking so I did not have an easy time figuring out how to exit.. Despite the tiny parking lot, the store itself is amazing! There are sets built and displayed with affordable prices for many of them, definitely cheaper than the official LEGO store. Noticed plenty that were under $200 and great value for the sets you're getting. Of course, there are nicer and bigger sets but you don't have to go big. You can still go home with something you like and come back another time because they offer stamp cards! You get 10% off your next purchase after spending $100 at the store. Obviously not a big discount but hey, something is better than nothing, especially if you plan to return for more LEGOs. We decided upon a moderately sized Mario Cart two-piece set of Boo and Wario in their go-carts which was only about $54. Not bad, imo! The staff was nice and asked if we were looking for anything specific when we entered but let us be when we told them we were just browsing. We got their attention when we were ready to check out. The employee that helped us did strike up friendly conversation with my son, which made our interaction not so awkward, since the store was fairly quiet and almost empty at 3:45PM on a Wednesday. Plenty of legos, good service, great bang for your buck. Only thing to dislike would be the parking lol we will still be back.

Any Lego store it's going to be high on my list regardless of where it's located or how big it is…read more This place holds a special spot in my heart as it's a local shop run by some Fellow lego nerds! The place has a solid selection of new and used sets as well as some really cool custom builds! The iron throne is probably the favorite custom I've ever seen! They've got a good trending to great selection of mini figs including tons of Star Wars and older figurines. I found a number of doctor related ones for the ole collection as well! The sets ranged from some cool older sets that were in original boxes to newer sets that ranged in price from retail to a good deal! I picked up the Great Wall architecture a set for less than anyone online and got to talk legos with some guys is legit hang out with! The stock rotates quickly so if you're in the area, it pays to check in frequent-ish. If you love legos or have kids that enjoy them, this is your spot!

Her shop is amazing, filled floor to ceiling with every kind of period costume and accessory. In the little corner of this labyrinthine place that was my fitting room, there were fur trapper's garbs, a papoose on the wall, canes, hats, crowns, a sword, and a robust selection of gentlemen's attire that gave me many options for addressing the necessesaries of my attire and equippage. I am very grateful for the chance to come here to transform into someone from another time and place. Thank you.

Great Vintage With Incredible Retro-Style!…read more SITREP We were looking for pizza and instead initially wandered into this store only to find some awesome retro-dresses! THE SETUP My galpal Jenner & I were on the way back to Central Washington (after she picked me up at SEATAC), and on our way through Olympia, we got struck with massive hunger cravings for Pizza. As we headed to La Gitana, HOT TODDY crossed out path (or rather, we crossed IT'S path) and we had to wander inside of it once we were *blinded by the light* of all it's colors inside! STYLES & DESIGNS! We were inside a virtual smorgasbord of crazy fabrics & designs! I played guard to the dressing room while Jenner tried on some awesome dresses. I also foraged around for some smaller, more palatable items for a guy to wear and found some pretty cool jackets and socks. THE LOWDOWN After grabbing a couple of dresses, we were ready to go and find our pizza stop (which we did since it was almost next door). Missions Accomplished!

Used to love this place, but just got treated really oddly by the person working the cashier. I…read morealways visit when I'm in town from Los Angeles because I love the cute, quirky vibes. Today I walked in, a white Oly couple a few steps ahead of me. The clerk completely ignored them, but as soon as she saw me she RUSHED out from behind the counter in a panic as if to block my entry, saying "CAN I HELP YOU" in a stressed tone. She only relaxed when she saw my shopping bag from Radiance. I can't think of what would cause such a reaction, except that I am visibly brown. I'd hate to think that someone at such a sweet staple of downtown was racially profiling me. All in all it left a sour taste in my mouth. In over 10 years, I've never been treated this way here.
