Routine Coffee - Routine is a must stop for an afternoon drink to bring on your walk. I love their feature iced drinks on a warm afternoon. Be sure to get there before they close at 4, or earlier if you want to secure a sweet treat before they sell out!

Our next stop is my personal favourite shop to buy gifts. There are so many cute fun things in store and I always make sure to get myself a sweet treat too. Don't sleep on the frozen treats tucked in the stand up freezer!

Cheers vintage is the next stop on our walk as we head back towards where we started. This vintage collective holds different vintage sellers all under one roof. I love that each seller has their own section and offers a unique vibe so that there is something for everyone's style

We finish off our route at Boomtown where you can settle in on the patio for some food and drinks. Try the Crunch Wrap or Boomtown Buns for something a little different or stop by between 3:30 and 5:30 for happy hour. Beware, you might end up here for hours if it's a sunny day!
Our journey starts at my own shop! Luna is home to many a treasure, each piece curated with intention in mind. Whether you love vintage clothing, cute handmade nick nacks, a special self-care product or a new piece of jewelry, there is always something special to be found at Luna. My favourite things in the shop are the everchanging sticker selection, Everyday Oil (for hair, body, face, and everywhere), and of course the vintage section.
