Store energy is welcoming and all items were placed in accordance to feng shui, it seems - I was curious and interested in a lot of the goodies sold here, so my browsing began. I ended up with my plant, which is so unique. Staff member educated me on the plant and it's been blossoming! It's the first plant I haven't fully killed due to Blackwater's care and education! When I'm in town, I'll definitely swing by, at least just for the environment. Parking is easy, lots of street and metered parking available. There are also lots of shops around after stopping by Blackwater for jewelry, clothing, crystals and plants. High quality items and care into each product on sell. Can't wait to visit again!

Ambiance is my favorite store to shop while visiting SLO & Paso Robles. Their selection of clothing…read moremeets my every need. Recently I had the pleasure of meeting Kannyn, the owner. What a lovely woman she is. In my adult life I haven't had the luxury of having a personal shopper/assistant and on that day Kannyn stepped in and that's exactly what she delivered . She is Amazing in styling to your body type and showing the many options for being fashionable. I rate Ambiance 1000/10. Kannyn is a supreme example of professionalism combined with that personal touch of love we all welcome. While shopping I also observed her staff following in Kannyn's footsteps! Very impressed and look forward to my next adventure. If you want the perfect ambiance while shopping...make sure you visit Ambiance. Thank you Kannyn and ladies. You're deeply appreciated.

You can tell a lot of care goes into both the product selection and the overall experience. I visited again a few months later and met the owner, which made me love it even more. She's been incredibly helpful staying in touch and assisting me with purchases remotely, and the level of service is just as great as shopping in person. Even being out of state, I still feel like I get that same personal, boutique experience every time. Highly recommend!

Passing through town and we eyed the Nordstrom Rack sign while traveling on Highway 101. We decided…read moreto stop since the Hubs needed a belt. We dropped in on a weekday early evening. It was located in a complex with other stores such as Cost Plus. The Nordstrom Rack interior was modern, clean and organized. A lot of square footage too. It had a large inventory. Not sure if this was the norm or just caught them on a good day after restocking. Hubs left empty handed. But not me. I scored. Bought a few Caslon brand tops at bargain prices. And we hopped back onto Highway 101. By the way, the shopping complex is across the street from the iconic Madonna Inn. A

Manager tells me well it's costume jewelry, well no **** Sherlock, but it should last longer than a week. After having to go to bat they advised they would return. Although it was well within the 40 day window they didn't want to because it was worn. Well sorry, you need to stand behind the quality of your product! Be very mindful of their return policy! If they don't stand behind their product and you used your credit card, go right to the credit card company! Horrible value for only lasting a couple wears. If you are looking for cheaper jewelry, TJ Maxx is a much better solution and lasts much longer!

The store is so lovely, and they had a terrific selection of items, gifts, fun accessories and products.

I adore giving these cards to people and slapping the cute fair trade sticker on the cards to support these efforts and spread the word. This store does amazing work, and I will continue to shop there and will also order their products online! Highly highly recommend!

They are great to wear shopping or going to church - too nice to wear around the house though.
