After two years, Coastal Surf Boutique is leaving University Village at the end of February to focus on their Alki Beach location. Right now, save 20 to 50 percent off the lowest marked price, bringing the discount on some items to 80 to 90 percent off! Also, any gift cards or store credits from the University Village store will not be valid after February 22, so use them up before then.

In more U Village news, Crewcuts, the new kids store from J. Crew, will open this spring in the space where Glassybaby is now. Glassybaby will then be moved to a temporary kiosk for a month before moving into Coastal’s old space.

And now for the sweetest news: Trophy Cupcakes is opening a new location there in the former Buster & Sullivan space this spring. If you’re familiar with the Wallingford Center Trophy Cupcakes location and all its adorable, delicious splendor, you know what glorious news this is for us cupcake-loving-U-Village-shoppers.
