Don't forget to come and join us for our monthly resident function tomorrow, Aug. 23rd. We will have burgers and hot dogs. Feel free to bring your own beverage, just no glass bottles.

Nothing Bundt Cakes is the brainchild of childhood friends Dena Tripp and Debra Shwetz, who channeled their entrepreneurial spirit into perfecting the bundt cake. Their cakes are handmade fresh daily with Grade A eggs, real butter, and real cream cheese.

The variety of cake sizes ranges from bite-sized Bundtinis, to single serving Bundtlets. They also make 8 and 10 inch cakes and double layer cakes that are perfect for special celebrations. Creative, colorful decorations make them even more special. Cake flavors include Pecan Praline, White White Chocolate, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Lemon, White Chocolate Raspberry, Marble, Cinnamon Swirl, and Carrot. You can call in your cake order or stop by to place it. They can even deliver it.

San Antonio's Nothing Bundt Cakes is open Monday through Saturday.

Nine Lives Books is an independent book store that specializes primarily in used books and media. The selection here is quite diverse, with bargain-friendly prices. In fact, it's easy to walk in with $20 and walk out with enough reading materials for a month, according to regular patrons of this San Antonio bookshop.

What makes this place really unique are the friendly store cats that are fostered by the owners. The store will sometimes host adoption drives for the cats, and nothing pairs better with a good book than a cat purring on your lap! Some complain that the shelves aren’t as well-organized as they could be, but the staff is happy to help you search for something specific.
