We were getting dressed for the party when we realized we'd forgotten to pack our four-year-old's clothes, stacked in a neat pile back in Los Angeles. Instead of letting him arrive in a dirty T-shirt and jeans, I rushed to Chicken Little for a ten-minute State Street shopping spree. My husband called ahead, so there was a sales lady waiting for me, ready to show me where to look for little boy party clothes. I quickly found some comfortable-looking denim pants dark enough to pass for chinos, as well as a couple of button-down shirts and a nice sweater--I was going to cover my bases. I was about to check out and run when I remembered our son might also want socks, underwear, and clean clothes for the next day, and I was able to procure everything in another few minutes of furious shopping. I even found birthday cards for Grandma Robyn and my father-in-law, who was also celebrating a birthday. I didn't have time to explore and appreciate the rest of the store, but it was big and charming, well stocked with toys and gifts in addition to all the wardrobe necessities. Service was fantastic. The woman helping me even said I could return whatever I wanted, but everything was cute and high quality, so I kept it all. I am now a devoted Chicken Little customer, and will come back any time I need kid gear in Santa Barbara.

This young entrepreneur knows what she is doing. Price points vary and so there is something for everyone as well from the young to those of us whose kids are grown. Easy parking across street.

If you are looking for a fabulous place to peruse some unique items as well as must haves, come here. Feels good to support local business and especially this talented young entrepreneur. My understanding is that Haley started at Wendy Foster while in college; she definitely has a knack for curating looks and finding high quality lovely pieces for all ages. And did i mention how sweet and kind both Noelle and Haley are?! You will feel welcome and no pressure sales. I appreciate their honesty and guidance as well. What a hidden gem Rever Atelier is!

This place has quickly…read morebecome one of my favorite spots in Santa Barbara for secondhand shopping, and for good reason -- the selection is genuinely impressive. What sets Thrift Beach apart from your typical thrift store is the quality and variety of what's on the floor. You're not just sifting through the same tired donations you'd find anywhere else. There's real curation happening here -- vintage pieces, unique finds, and items that actually feel special. Whether you're hunting for retro clothing, one-of-a-kind home décor, or something you didn't even know you needed, this place delivers. As someone who appreciates the Santa Barbara lifestyle, Thrift Beach nails the vibe perfectly. It feels local, laid-back, and unpretentious -- exactly what a great secondhand shop should be. Every visit feels like a treasure hunt, and more often than not, you walk out with something you're genuinely excited about. If sustainable shopping and unique finds are your thing, this is your store. Five stars without hesitation.

Stepping into this shop reminds you that you are truly on California's Central Coast given he vibrant colors and surfing vibes. Art on the walls is made by local photographer Mindy Rainey. I am also reminded of how neglected I was as a child! They have so many neat toys, books, and clothing designs available now that previous generations didn't have. Not only that but much of what Beach Baby sells is made by local artists. I love the homemade dinosaur crayons and beautifully scented candles. Beach Baby sells many wonderful gifts for baby showers, birthdays or holidays. I particularly adore the little sand feet printing kit to make a mold of a baby's foot into an ornament. In the meantime, while this shop is a wonderful new addition to the area, I'll stick to loving my dog like a child. ;)

They won't take back defective merchandise!!!!! Buyer beware…read more I bought a shirt here and after one wash it bled horribly and completely changed the color of the shirt as well as staining other clothes. I brought it back and they would not refund or exchange. If you're going to sell pricey clothes you need to make it right when the merchandise you selected is defective. I figure I should post this review so others know before they fork over their money that they will not stand behind their merchandise. I was told because it didn't have tags that you couldn't take it back even for an exchange but I'd like to know how I am supposed to keep the tags on through a wash and I was perfectly happy with the shirt before it bled. This was a splurge for us at around $35 for a shirt. It WAS a light green background but the blue print bled and turned it purple. It's also blotchy and the thread did not change color so now a matching thread color is contrast stitching. It is not a look I would have paid that much for. I washed it on cold and it bled so much it even stained another shirt. (This was the only new item in the wash). We never even got to wear it once. I'm posting a photo of the damaged shirt where you can see it is purple now but still shows the original color near the buttons. I'm also showing the manufacturer's photo for what it looked like originally. I know they don't know it would bleed either and all I wanted to was to pick out something else. I wasn't demanding my money back. I wasn't blaming them for the damage to other clothes. I just didn't want to have spent so much on something I didn't like after it looked so different and blotchy.
