Morning Glory is in a convenient location, if you're a Ranch Market customer, and some of what they have is really cute. It's possible to find things, too, that aren't as loud and sugary as you might fear. I've found a few gifts for sober adults here that have gone over very well. It's worth a look. (And if you're interested in any particular line of Korean cute, I don't know of any better place in the area to search.)

There's absolutely nothing fancy about Ray's, but the pizza is good and the prices are good. And Ray bothers to recognize return customers and make them feel welcome. After I'd been coming for a while, he spotted me lunch when I was short one day, waved his hand, and said "You pay me later." Of course, I did - and I'm a very loyal customer now.

My best friend is a longtime comics junkie, so I've relied on this place to find birthday gifts and such for a while, and it's never failed to provide. It has a pretty decent selection (superheroes, more indie stuff, manga) including all kinds of weird small fan objects (toys, posters, cards). You might have to squeeze through a group of little boys, and you might get snickered at for buying "girly" stuff depending on who's behind the register, but basically this is the kind of store where you'll usually have a purchase in mind before setting foot in the door, and on that level it's well-stocked and well-organized.

Whale of a Tale does seem like a great setup, but I haven't had the best of experiences there myself. Basically, if you aren't either a child or obviously old enough to be the parent of one, you are going to get a pretty frosty reception. (This despite the fact that it's directly across the street from UCI.) A few friends have reported the same thing. While the staff won't actually ask you to leave, they won't give you any help either. I'm rating them at two stars because I guess they do do a good job for the people they're willing to exert themselves for.
