bailey enjoyed her time at, dog friendly, roy's.
there is quite a history to this place. roy murotsune bought the gas station after he was freed from the internment camps in wwii. it was a gas station for decades until 1990 when it was shut down to avoid the high cost of updating tanks to the newer models that would meet state environmental standards. still owned by the murotsune family, it morphed into a coffee shop and was reopened in 2009 by roy's children and grandchildren.

I am very familiar with Japantown and Roys. First of all it is MAYBE 3 miles from my home. PLUS I always walk around Japantown when I visit Biscuits, Give a Dog a Bone pet boutique. AND I went to the Nikkei Matsuri too!

wow, really? small world.
Deletedrat, i wish i had known about biscuits, i would have stopped in there for sure. darn, their facebook page says they are on the same street! we should have spent a little less time drinking coffee and a little more time walking around. next time we aren't so pressed for time, i will check them out. thanks for the tip!
