The Best Bookstore in Union Square




I went to the new downtown SF bookstore that just opened recently! After Alexanders Books closed there wasn't really a bookstore near Union Square for a bit. The Best Bookstore is near the Powell street Bart/Muni station and the end of the cable car line so it's definitely easy to get to using public transit.

Inkspell and Coastside Books

When I went to tea at By the Teashore I was able to stop by 2 bookstores downtown Halfmoon Bay! One of which was a combination new and used bookstore and the other less of a bookstore and more of a tourist and crafting store.

Hello Kitty Cafe


I'm back with another Afternoon Tea review! Two places recently opened up in the bay area and I needed to try them! The first is the Hello Kitty Cafe Afternoon Tea at the new Hello Kitty Cafe in Santa Clara's Valley Fair mall.

Illinois cupcakes and books

I happened to be in the Chicago suburbs for The Great Lace and was able to go to the next town over to walk around with a friend- there happened to be a bookshop and cupcake place almost right next to each other! Of course we had to go to both!
