Shop

Cherry Consignment

We have to call out our neighbor! Woman-owned and located only a few steps from our store front, this delightful consignment shop is filled with fun women's apparel, jewelry, and shoes—a must visit for anyone wanting to support a female-run and community-forward biz!

4142 California Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98116

Fleurt

We love love love this small biz! Owned by a mother-daughter duo, Fleurt stocks a range of plants, wellness items, clothes, and more. It's a go-to spot if you're looking for a gift.

Northwest Art & Frame

This is the spot to go if you a) don't know what to gift somebody, b) want to spend wayyyyy too much money on yourself, or c) want to tap into your creative side! NW Art & Frame stocks everything from art supplies and frames to home goods, stickers, candles, and books.

Part new bookstore, part used. Pegasus Book Exchange is filled from floor to ceiling with budget-friendly finds and popular new releases. Pro tip: Grab a cup of coffee to fuel you before going in (you could browse here for hours).

Eats

Dough Joy

We're fueled by this donut stop. Connected to Plants At the Disco, stop by the queer-owned bakery to pick up unexpected flavors. Special flavors rotate weekly! Check their Instagram to see what's in this week. P.S. Order a coffee and it will be handed to you along with a free donut hole.

4310 SW Oregon St, Seattle, WA 98116

Harry's Beach House

Head down to Alki Beach for this fun, waterfront spot. Serving up elevated versions of classic burgers, grilled cheese, and fish and chips, Harry's Beach House is equal parts elegant and casual. Don't miss their weekend brunch either!

2676 Alki Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98116

Itto's Tapas

Right down the block from us is this Moroccan-Spanish tapas place! Think: spiced olives, tortilla española, chicken slow-cooked with preserved lemons, and paella. Oh, and did we mention that the cocktails are fantastic?

4160 California Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98116

Husky Deli & Ice Cream

The name says it all—doling out 40+ flavors of homemade ice cream alongside classic deli sandwiches (don't worry, there are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options), Husky Deli has been a West Seattle staple since 1932.

4721 California Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98116

Marination Ma Kai

Though you need a car or solid pair of walking shoes to get here from our store, Marination is worth the trek. Perched on a pier overlooking Elliot Bay and the Seattle skyline, this spot serves up Hawaiian-Korean inspired tacos, rice bowls, and sliders.

1660 Harbor Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98126

Sip

Hotwire Coffee

We love this spot for a pick-me-up. The simple drip coffee or cold brew are amazing but if you're craving *fancy* coffee, they've got that covered too—check out their fun espresso drink menu for interesting combos! Oh, and they're only a block away from the shop. 😉

4410 California Ave SW, Seattle, WA 98116

The Alley

The Alley is a must-visit for cocktail enthusiasts. Their menu is organized by era—starting in the 1890s, otherwise known as the "Golden Age" of cocktails, and continuing through the decades to today.
