Cashier was super nice, the store wasn't busy at all and it was very quiet and cute inside! Almost like a more homey daiso?
My fiancé and I love to stop by this mini mart any time we're in Davis. This place is 3 stories, floor 1 being the mini mart, floor 2 has anime and the learning center, and the basement has a bunch of different stuff like books and stuffed toys. You can always find something when you come here. We came by last night and the gentleman working was super friendly and welcoming. We ended up just getting a couple snacks and a drink. I definitely recommend :)
Kobe Mini Mart is a charming place that provides Japanese food and other grocery items. They have a mini manga lounge and skin care products at the bottom level of the store. I wish they could expand their manga lounge to make it more inviting for people to read. They also carry a few anime goodies like cute keychains and standard toys.
I want to start by commending the professionalism and courtesy shown by the employees at this establishment. Very happy and willing to help, answer all questions, and retrieve items for me or check when it will be back in stock. I love the feel of being in a little market in Japan. Great assortment of everything between groceries, souvenirs, hobby kits, and collectibles. I always leave this place buying more than what I need just because I want to support and love the merch.
Update: the more I come the more I want to buy everything!! I love looking through the blind boxes, the stationary, and the stickers. And yes I own 3 or 4 of their stuffed animals. I also like stopping by for popsicles or ice cream.
Really cool store in the Davis area with some Japanese snacks and a whole bunch of key chains, toys, mangas, etc
Super fun mini-mart with snacks, stationery, and more goodies! I walked out with some super smooth gel pens. *squeal*
I came across this place while casually strolling around downtown Davis with a friend. I am so glad we ran into this spot. This is a cute little Japanese mart that sells all sorts of stuff -- anime merch (keychains, stickers, posters), plushies, stationery, snacks, bathroom items, manga, EVERYTHING. One cool part about this place is that there are stairs leading to a basement floor which has a study area for people to hang around. It feels so homely and cozy. I bought a Popin' Cookin' kit as well as a cute little Corocoro Life plush that is now hanging on my car's rear view mirror as my lil' driving buddy!
I was leisurely bebopping around downtown Davis on a recent lazy weekend afternoon. I eyed this place... Kobe Mini Mart. The sign distinguished itself as a Japanese mini mart. My curiosity was peaked, so off I go venturing in. So glad I did. This place sells a bit of everything. I was a bit awe struck with all the inventory. You do not normally find a place like this outside the Bay area. Even Sacramento does not have a shop like this. They have Japanese and Asian candy and snacks; food staples such as rice, noodles; frozen foods including mochi; cold case of Japanese sodas; deli hot buns; plates/bowls; plushies; and stuff that I am not hip enough to understand. That stuff is Funko, anime character keychains (which reminded me of shrinkee dinks), stickers, cards, figurines, model kits/paints/brushes, and toys. Get this, they have a whole other floor which I did not go see. More stuff!!
