I have found several books here that literally changed my life! Also, they usually have some complimentary tea in the front to sip while you browse.

GETTING HERE:…read more Navigate to the address listed on Yelp. It's located across the street from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in DTSB. REVIEW: I stumbled upon Paradise Found as I was trying to find parking in downtown SB. I am so thankful to have found it! I love stores like this; when I enter I feel a sense of peace and relief. I feel like I can breathe. Books galore. Many, many books! I love the books! I observed they offer psychic readings, although I am unclear if that's P.C. in 2026? Please forgive me if I am mistaken. Various items for sale, stickers and candles, etc. There was one quiet employee working behind the counter. I think she smiled at me, if that. But, I definitely welcomed that energy shift when I entered the store. I am looking forward to going back! I definitely recommend a visit. Thanks!

The layout of the store is open with sweatshirts, t-shirts, accessories and kids stuff in their respective areas. Sizes are accommodating and the material quality is high caliber. I loved taking my time to look through each item and of course fell in love with a few items. Prices are comparable for the quality. Thanks Brooke for such a great shopping experience - you really know how to set up a shop.

She prints a photo of your choice in black and white and the print makes it look antique. We LOVE ours as it's the first wedding photo we have printed! I can't wait to come back here!!

Spend your hard earned money at a place that cares about the customers and won't rip you off! We came for party balloons. The woman filled up half of the balloons just fine then the man took over and he didn't fill them enough so they looked cheap. We complained because we wanted what we paid for. And in front of other customers the woman tells that she will not refill them. And that she won't sell us anything else!!! They took our money and in return gave us bad products and didn't treat us with respect.

I always like to support women and business as well. I'm just wondering what's happening behind the scenes. How they treat customers and vendors says a lot.

About a month ago I stayed at San Isidro Ranch to visit my daughter. I asked her if she wanted to…read morecome along with me and check out some of the stores on Coast Village Road. I wanted to pick up a little gift for her possibly some new jewelry. We had a little bit of time before we were headed back to San Ysidro Ranch for lunch with family. There were two women working that day, and neither one could take the time to greet us. I made eye contact with both employees and neither made an effort to say hello or offer assistance. The attitude was cold and off putting. I hardly leave reviews such as this, but the experience left me with a sour taste. Especially when I was short on time and left empty handed with no gift. I wasn't about to make a purchase when the staff didn't have the courtesy to even say hello to myself or my daughter.

Definitely greeted kindly however when it comes to getting answers about products and getting called back when they get items back like the gloves - I receive no call. I stopped in multiple times and would check in and just remind them to call me. Of course, another time I stop in they have them but nobody called. Same thing nobody called me back about some questions I had on fabric and some products. So sadly, I've dropped them down from 5 to 3 stars because if you can't get information, especially when you're willing to pay a pretty penny, then that send a message that they don't stand behind their product or they don't really believe in their customer service. I have waited six months and had similar experiences so this isn't a one off. I'll try again down the line and hope things will have improved. I've tried to ask for the owner but she's not there. I wanted to give the feedback directly but seems like I'm out of block as well. I hope this helps. I look forward to updating this review in time.
