This small tobacco shop is also a mini newsstand stocked with magazines and local newspapers. You must be 18 years or older to enter the tobacco shop and to purchase in the State of California. The shop has good prices for cartons of cigarettes and other tobacco products. It serves fresh brewed coffee using the Farmers Brothers Coffee brand. It also makes cappuccino and espresso. There is no kitchen, but it stocks packaged snack foods and pastries. There is an outside café area where you are allowed to smoke, read and eat. But the outdoor free parking spot only allows a 15-minute loading period, so folks usually stop in for items to go.
L'Imagerie Gallery might seem unassuming from the outside, but inside it's a world of color and cool. L'Imagerie specializes in vintage and collectible movie posters, original rock concert posters, and pop-surrealistic fine art.

Clients who ask to be shown the back will encounter a warehouse-sized space that showcases one of the largest retail collections of vintage movie and rock concert posters in the world. From "Citizen Kane" and "Forbidden Planet" to "It's a Wonderful Life" and a whole bunch of classic Clint Eastwood films, L'Imagerie has them all on hand. The concert posters focus on rock from the '60s through the '90s. As for the pop-surrealistic fine art, there are pieces by such big names as Mark Ryden, Robert Williams and Todd Schorr.
