“Very friendly and really listened to my mom’s needs. And locally owned business, which was a bonus! We were also in a hurry to get it delivered. They didn’t have an opening until the end of the week, but they rearranged their schedule to accommodate us. The delivery service was also great. The guys were friendly and quick, yet made sure everything was working properly.”
“I have a very strange and random question. We parked in front of your beautiful shop today somewhere around 1 pm, and there is a chance we lost our kid’s favourite toy somewhere around there. If you happened to see it, could you please let me know? It’s a grey/pink giraffe (doesn’t look like a giraffe at all), and it’s well loved. I have a picture of her sister giraffe for reference. Thank you very much in any case! I will remove the comment if I don’t hear from you, so your reviews stay focused on your shop ?”
“A real hidden treasure that found by chance.
Take a short walk from the Carpinteria state park entrance and treat yourself to some tasty treats. You won't be disappointed
A real diamond in the rough.”
“My wife loved stumbling upon this sweet shop in the hotel where her brother is staying while here in Santa Barbara. Everything is made in Peru and is of the highest quality. The owner was so nice.”
“Cute small shop. I mainly went just for the jewelry. Lots of options like larimar, moonstone, labradorite, & abalone. I also got a small selenite bowl. I would definitely come back!”
“We loved this store so much! We came to Santa Barbara on a girl's trip and this store was our favorite place! So much gorgeous jewelry and fun trinkets and all reasonably priced! All five of us found things we bought here. We were also super impressed with the staff, they were so friendly and helpful without seeming pushy at all.”
“Cool and eccentric thrift shop. Lots to see and hunt in the racks for. There's a huge variety of items from clothes, to candles, records and even toys.
Definitely take your time going through everything. Checkout takes a little long because staff is very friendly and talk to all clients for a good 5-7 min per person.”
“Beautiful store with unique items! A lot of the larger pieces were $100 or more. You could find some beautiful gifts in here under $100. I love the ceramic house numbers, coming in around $12 each. Large variety of items to choose from. I enjoyed walking through and admiring the art.”
“I've worked w/ Brad at the Flag Factory for many years. As a fellow business in this small town I appreciate their attention to detail and the consistently high level of service that I receive. It's great to know that I have someone I can count on to get us the material we need in a timely manner. =”
“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!”
“They sell beautiful, authentic items from Mexico, including pieces from Oaxaca. The store owner personally travels to Mexico to buy inventory directly from local artisans, so you know everything is unique high quality.
If you're looking for something special and love supporting artists from Mexico, you have to check out this store. It's definitely a hidden gem in Santa Barbara!”

“To start I stopped here every time I am in Carpentaria . If not just for the selection but also for the conversation. I feel welcome. Service is good they know their stock and I find prices fare. If you would like to bring a few unique Items start here.”
“Legit the best last good record store in California. Knowledgeable staff, realistic pricing, wonderful variety of the eclectic nature, do yourself a favor and visit today!”
“I recently had (another) pleasure of shopping at "The Well," a luxurious outdoor go-to destination for those seeking sophistication in their outdoor living. We visit every time we pass through town. The store offers a curated collection of high-end outdoor, garden, and home furnishings… beautifully showcasing a perfect blend of style and functionality. Suzy's attention to detail is evident in her hospitality to customers.10/10”
“The guys are friendly and have lots of dishes, wallets, and knick knacks. There are also big ticket items too! They have finally launched the food shop a couple of doors down called Luzum where you can now buy their Turkish Delights.”
“One of my favorite stores... What are your perusing for inspiration or looking for a gift - you are sure to find some wonderful things for people of all ages. Pops of color, and the art and home decor. Many of their linens are organic, which is absolutely fabulous if you care about the Earth, the bees, and the working conditions of those behind the scenes Folly is one of many wonderful boutiques in the neighborhood. The owner is friendly with their neighbors and I love how they have worked so that they all have some beautiful things but that are different at each store.Easy parking. It's very sweet collection of shops, including a lovely patisserie and coffee shop called Renaulds I love the adorable little animals that they also have made by a local woman who is about 70 and utilizes up cycled fabrics that other customers bring in. I picked up a sweet little cat, talked into a little bag to give to my daughter, so she always has a cat with her even when she is far from home. Thank you Folly and team”
“We have used just about all the custom framing shops in Santa Barbara. But after our recent experience with Distinctive Framing, we will give them ALL our future business.Our experience was totally professional and their advice was right on. The finished piece delighted us. It came out way better than we thought it could be. Their input and quality of work was terrific! Thank you!”
“Ordered a few food and wine items for wedding welcome bags for our Santa Barbara wedding. They have a great selection and service was amazing. Even when there was a little mix up, they were quick to resolve. Was great to purchase items ahead of time and guests loved the local touches!”
