Small Business Saturday 2016:  Your Curated List To Shop Small

11/26/2016

Today is the day...It's Small Business Saturday.  Did you shop small?  Are you shopping small?  We did.  Today, instead of visiting the big chain Starbucks, we visited a small coffee shop in Downtown Riverside called Coffee Court.   The Pumpkin Spice Latte was quite tasty and only cost a couple of bucks, as compared to the prices at the big chain coffee houses.  Starbucks also has a Pumpkin Spice Latte for $4.05 when we last checked.  Coffee Court also has some of the same amenities as the bigger chains.  It has two areas for seating and dining, cozy and relaxing enough to bring friends.  Or bring your  laptop and get some studying or work done.  More than just coffee, they also offer breakfast and lunch.  So you can grab a bite to eat as well.



But enough about Coffee Court, on to our list.  If it's last minute and you're still looking for businesses to shop small, don't hesitate to check out the following:

1.  The Weathered Feather

Do you have people on your Christmas gift list who enjoy hand-crafted trinkets?  If you answered yes, then The Weathered Feather is a great place to shop small.  You can pick up unique hand-crafted items at a reasonable price.

2.  Back To The Grind

After visiting The Weathered Feather, head down the street a little farther to Back To The Grind.  Another great little (or not so little) coffee shop in Downtown Riverside.  We love Back To The Grind.  It's a fairly big facility and they host many different events.  If you're an entrepreneur, 1 Million Cups holds a weekly meeting on Wednesdays.  A group of entrepreneurs gather together to help each other perfect their pitches and to network.  Back To The Grind offers coffee and sandwiches.  An added bonus not found at many coffee shops?  Ice cream!  And it's only $1.50.    If you do visit, be sure to check out their t-shirts and say hi to the owner, Darren and tell him we sent you.

3.  Moreno Valley Flower Box

For gifts or decor, flowers are always a great idea.  The Moreno Valley Flower Box has a wide variety of arrangements.  A standard arrangement, including an "I Love You" Mylar balloon was  $42.07 when we checked.  Do you have a special occasion coming up?  They offer flowers for birthdays, funerals, romantic occasions, and holidays.  Added bonus?  They offer free delivery on qualifying orders.

4.  The Shops On Melrose

If you're from LA, you know the ultimate boutique shopping is done on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles.  You'll find many small boutiques that offer great fashion, some at affordable prices, some at outrageous prices.  Looking for a flashy dress for a red carpet event?  You might try Mint Collection.  Their cross street is Martel Avenue.  Based on their website, they have experts to help you find a dress that is appropriate for you.

5.  Linne's Boutique

If you're in the Long Beach area, be sure to stop by Linne's Boutique at 1090 Redondo Blvd.  They currently are having a Black Friday sale that runs through tomorrow (November 27th).  Their selection of cute and fashionable clothing is unique.  In our experience, many of the items in the store are not found in major department stores.  So if unique fashion is your thing, head on over to Linne's.

We hope you visit some of the stores on our list and stop back to our blog.  Let us know YOUR experience in the comments!  We love hearing from our readers.
