Such a hidden gem! They have everything from unique rocking chairs, wicker furniture, surfboards, art, and antique bits and bobs. Walk around here for an hour or two and see what you find. Wayne is super helpful and offers fair bargains for items. One of my absolutely favorite spots in town!

This store is amazing! Lovingly curated and well-priced—and the owner, Wayne, has incredible stories from Hawaii and California history! Worth a detour to visit and spend some time in beautiful Carpinteria!

We were visiting Carpinteria and really wanted to come here as our air bnb host recommended it and we love antique stores. Well, it was supposedly open according to Yelp and the large sign on the gate that read "open saturdays and sundays". However, we drove by probably 5 separate times on Saturday and Sunday to go and it was closed each time. We even walked around the entire block trying to find if there was a different entrance we were missing.

This place seems like a good venue for a treasure hunt - go with an open mind and no pre-conceived notions, and you'll never know what you might find. On the other hand, we were there several days after the rainstorms which brought the terrible mudslides to Montecito (not far up the road). Everything smelled damp, musty, and even moldy. We had our friend with us, and she quickly noted several items dating back to our childhood era, which made her smile. I spotted a lot of surfing emphasis, from the many surfboards in the front entrance area, to a general vibe. Many of the items look like they need some love to get back to usefulness, but there were others that were ready to go, including dishes and glassware. Normally, I'd browse through the bookshelves, but they didn't seem to have much that was in my range of interest. Also, it was crowded in front of that area and hard to get to the shelves. There was a lot of stuff. A lot! Someone with a trash-to-treasure mindset could find many items to work with as creative fodder.

Angels Antiques has been a wonderful Carp hidden gem for years on end. I've had friends buy and restore their favorite surf boards from this shop, find bikes, old war souvenirs, nifty planters, and handmade home decor items. Because of it's literal hidden appearance I tend to forget it's event there, and just recently learned it will actually be closing down shop in the near future. In the meantime, make sure to head over and check out the incredible collection of newly discounted one-of-a-kind items they have in stock and are liquidating for the business closing sale. I'm big on succulent gardens, old suitcases, and old fashioned lawn decor and this place had it all for me on a newly college graduate budget. I could spend hours (and so much money) at Angels Antiques. Really... It's dangerous. Make sure to check it out before it's too late and send a loving goodbye to the special owner who made this amazing antique shop more unique and affordable than any other.

Hands down, the 'Most Unique Store in California'! With 30 years in Carpinteria, Angels boasts an impressive collection of unusual, rare, hard-to-find items ranging from fine antiques to rusty junk! If you hate malls and 'cookie cutter' corporate stores - you'll love Angels!

Great Carpinteria local shop. If you want to feel like a local come to this shop. Wayne and Zelda are the best. They will get you cracking up laughing.
This is a shop you can keep coming back and exploring again and again there is always something new. Wayne the owner for over 20 years has great stories and collects old surfboards. If you are driving by you have to check this place out there is not another place like it.
