This is my happy place in downtown SB! So many books, crystals, candles, jewelry, and more! The employees are so kind and welcoming. 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. I always recommend this fun, beautiful, spiritual shop to everyone! Such a calming, wonderful store! read more

GETTING HERE: 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! read more

Paradise Found - 2/6/26 - Spiritual Shop Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Such a cool spiritual bookstore. Been here since the 1980's. I've been coming to Santa Barbara for years, but this is the first time I've been here because it also happened to be the first time I parked in the additional public parking lot. Walking back to the parking lot is when I decided to just pop my head in and was pleasantly surprised. They not only sell books, but everything else spiritual, from statues to stones to anything else in the spiritual realm, Buddhist to Christian. There was one employee behind the counter that I could see. He sounded extremely knowledgeable about the merchandise. I overheard him speaking to a couple other customers, letting them know he was happy to help them look for anything in particular they were searching for. He could tell I was primarily window shopping, not looking for anything special. I noticed they were selling some interesting wall hanging that were reasonably priced. If you're in the area, I recommend visiting. read more

We absolutely loved this store!! We're currently on vacation and the first part of our vacation was out in Santa Barbara. We wanted to find a crystal shop and this place popped up on our map and we're so glad it did!! The store has lovely energy, great crystals, books, jewelry and more! Plus extremely fair pricing. The employee, Lupita was extremely kind and helpful. Lupita allowed us to look through all the crystals and even opened the display shelves for us to shop and pick which crystals we wanted! Then another employee, Alex came over and helped us out too. They took the time to bag and wrap all our crystals too! Both employees were extremely kind people and this is such a lovely store. Such a great experience! Thank you so much, Lupita for going above and beyond!! Same to you, Alex! If we're ever back in SB, we will definitely stop by again. read more

Paradise Found is this great bookstore/gift shop located right off of State Street in the heart of Santa Barbara. What you will find here is a great Zen environment. They offer a lot of books that will guide you on your path. Plus, they offer all kinds of the spiritual everything else. Meaning, this is a great place to go if you are looking for that very special gift for someone, or that something that you never knew you needed. You'll probably find it here. Within this shop, they also offer such things as psychic readings. I'm not all about that. But, for those of you who are, you can get your reading done within the walls of this business. Mostly, what the shop offers is a great retreat from the chaos of modern society. And yes, it's right off of the main street of downtown in Santa Barbara. So you know, you can easily find it, come in here, and get your Zen on. Overall, great business!!! It's been around for a long time and it's always brought a lot of inspiration to a lot of people. read more

Paradise Found is so pleasant! I am so glad I stumbled upon it and took the time to explore here. I was immediately greeted by a very friendly dog with the most soothing energy and I felt right at home. If you're looking for it, they have it when it comes to crystals, tarot and oracle decks, jewelry, spiritual books, and energetic tools. I love a good witch shop, and this one didn't disappoint! I'm from out of town, and when traveling I love to ask locals their favorite things to do when I visit a shop. The staff here was super friendly and we chatted about my trip while they gave me some tips. I found a few little crystal bracelets for my niece and a few other little treasures. Paradise Found will definitely become a must-stop on my Santa Barbara list! Can't wait to come back. read more

Very nice and a huge selection and their items are very affordable. Very relaxing with seating areas to enjoy their free tea and just admire the place. Very friendly service read more

Service wait persons were Friendly, Knowledgable & very Respectful. Atmosphere inside store was Welcoming & Relaxed.

Let's be real: In order to keep pushing through this pandemic, this uncertainty, these lockdowns, this mess...you're gonna need some spiritual guidance. You're gonna need to relax. Meditate. Focus. Create positive vibes. Let Paradise Found help! We were in search of Palo Santo sticks, incense and such. I ended up finding a black incense holder, too, that I loved. My friend not only bought Palo Santo Sticks, but Palo Santo incense cones. But they have so much here to help you on your spiritual journey. Not everything, but a lot. The patrons who visit aren't as kind as the staff, but be patient. We're all fighting our own battles read more

Paradise Found - Manifesting - Spiritual Shop Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Great Shop. I met the owner, Teresa Taylor, and she is so focused on giving her customers the best experience. She has selected such a variety of items and I found so many great books to choose from. I booked a consult with Kristine Marie for fun and she was right on with so many great great spiritual messages. Such a great value that I will certainly be back to connect with Marie again. It was such a fun experience to visit this store when I visited Santa Barbara. I look forward to returning and recommend this store for anyone who enjoys exploring fun shops with a great welcoming energy! read more

I loved Paradise Found. It's a great shop with LOTS of items to browse and purchase. Everything from books, crystals, tarot cards, decor, jewelry, and more. In fact I was very impressed at the large number of books they had here of all sorts of topics! The woman at the front was very helpful and friendly. They have a decent crystal selection too, although personally I wish they had more and more larger sized crystals. Definitely recommend. read more

Discovered Paradise Found while just walking around downtown with my friend! It was such a unique find and the store has so many 'things' of different interests :) I introduced this store to a few other friends and each time we come, it's always a unique experience! You find something new every time you go. read more

If you're looking for some zen in your life then wander in here and you will feel at peace as soon as you step foot in the door. There's lots of neat stuff to purchase and look at including books, candles, knick knacks, jewelry, a quiet little area to listen to cd's for meditation, and they even do readings! I've always wanted to do a reading but It freaks me out. Glad to know I can come here if I ever get the courage to do one. The two ladies working here at the time of my visit were very kind when approached at the cash register but not once were me or my friend even acknowledged or greeted the whole time we were wandering around in the store. Maybe they just like to leave the customers shop in peace but a friendly hello would have been nice. Aside from not being acknowledged the staff was still friendly and I would still go back because they do have some items that I want to purchase. If you're into spiritual healing, meditation, law of attraction, and need some positivity in your life then check this place out. read more

A purely delightful little store filled to the brim with treasures! I was here specifically for crystals, so I didn't get any photos of the overall scenery or the shelves and shelves of books. I only got photos of about 30% of the store. My only regret! I came in on two separate days during the holidays. The first day, there were many customers and it was difficult to navigate or ask for help. Despite this, I was approached and offered help by three separate employees. So nice! It was my first time looking for crystals, so I didn't feel like I could take their time and only made a few purchases. On the second day, I was looking for a specific type of crystal. There were less customers, and a very helpful employer came to help me almost right away. He freely opened the display to the area I was interested in, told me to go ahead and pick things up, and gave me two alternative baskets to look in. He handed me a tray and showed me where I could take out all the crystals to touch and compare under the light. He even brought out some crystals he had picked out earlier. This was so helpful because I am new to this. I saw many other customers sitting and browsing at their own leisure, sitting down to go through baskets and talking to each other. There were all manner of people there, adults, teens, etc. They also had children's books. Overall, I was very happy with my experience: I found what I was looking for, learned some new insights, and received just the perfect amount of help. Thank you so much! read more

This place is perfect for the great first for a friend or taking time to meditate and relax. I can go in with anyone and find something for the mood in depending if I want to go see or just have a fun movement. From magic, witchery, candles, white light, mantras, to just fun kid toys and jewelry, this is a must stop. I'd highly recommend giving yourself some time to just "be" if you need it or run in and grab that fantastic birthday date card at lunch. read more

Nice varied selection of items. Knowledgeable staff. Beautiful jewelry. Fair prices. Always a go-to when I'm on State St!

The crystals found me! Love this shop. Everything mystical and magical, under one roof. Definitely a spiritual one stop shop--books, crystals, cards, candles..etc. The gal that was working, was so helpful in looking up things for me, helping me pick out crystals for sleep, and also keeping my mess under control as I dug through bowls of rocks and minerals. read more

I just ADORED this shop. It can sometimes be hard to find metaphysical shops that are bright and welcoming. There is so much here that cover many streams of spirituality it is all so well organized. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful; and they really work to abide by covid regulations. They ask customer to sanitize or use gloves upon entry and keep a constant head count, blocking off the entrance when they're at capacity. read more

Love this store! It was small but they had a lot of crystals! And their price was unbeatable! The staff was very friendly too. The guy was very knowledgeable while the younger girl was not so much. I guess she was still learning. But hey we are all learning, right? I like the atmosphere of this store. Very relax and comfortable. read more

They didn't have the shungite rock I was looking for and when I asked about where it was, the "owner" was extremely rude.

Thank you, Paradise Found for offering a broad range of items for the mind and spirit. As soon as I walked in to this store I felt great positive energy. The first time I was there I did not have the honor of meeting the poodle I read about on Yelp. However, I was there last night and got to meet 2 lovely poodles! I asked if I could pet them and the owner's friend who was taking care of them said of course. I was petting the white poodle and said "oh aren't you just a beautiful baby!" The friend responded by saying "He is a baby, only 8 months old and in way better health than when he was adopted". She went on to tell me that he was very malnourished and had a bone sticking out his back when he was rescued. I said to her, "Wow. I would have never guessed because he looks healthy and is so happy and playful now". Her response was beautiful, she said, "You have to believe in the healing power of love. These poodles get love 24 hours a day and are in great health, way better than when they were rescued. Never underestimate the power of love". As a pet lover and parent of a maltipoo, this story warmed my heart. I was there to buy incense and candles but left with a canvas painting from the dog lovers section and a raku ceramics item! It is so hard to hold back from splurging when you are there. Especially when everyone is so kind and welcoming. They close at 6 pm but time flew by and I was done shopping around at 6:20 pm. I completely lost track of time but was not rushed and they waited for me to be done. Great service!! read more

Absolutely love this store. The owner was a helpful sweetheart and the selection of items here is solid! Will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

I wasn't looking for ZEN, I was looking for an unusual gift for a friend's birthday and I found it here. (along with a dose of that unexpected zen) Crystals are such a Cali thing . I don't lend much credence to the idea that they can heal, improve your sex life, help you find money or true happiness, or stop your mate from snoring, but... They sure look nice on jewelry! I would post a picture of what I bought, but the very excellent, helpful staff wrapped it up so nicely that I didn't want to open it again. Great service, clean, organized, peaceful store. They are great at creating an experience and I hope everyone who visits Santa Barbara will at least stop in and say HI to these nice ladies. read more

Quality store. We were exploring some crystals when the shopkeeper showed us a particular crystal we were eyeing. He gave us a mini version of the crystal on the house! What a memory. Definitely coming back for some beautiful stones to explore and learn more. read more

Paradise Found - Mini Bizmuth gifted to us by the shopkeeper. - Spiritual Shop Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

Loved this store, people working there were so nice and helpful and sweet. I asked to buy a mineral bracelet for courage and instead of just taking one off the end, the girl working dumped them all on the counter and told me to pick the one that spoke to me. I thought it was so sweet she made that mess for me and it made it more special. read more

I was really hoping to spend money here but for whatever reason nothing called out to me that it needed to come home with me. Also I was traveling and the things I liked would have added way too much weight to my bags. Must check out their website when I get home. The gals in the store are really nice and they have a good selection of stones, jewelry, books, and tchotkis. They are a little off state street, we took the inexpensive bus that goes up and down state street to get there so that was nice. read more

Ah! A wonderful find for amazing products and gifts. A very special place. Walk in. Take a deep breath and enjoy the vibe!

The customer service here is immaculate ! I'm new to the spiritual cleansing world and the male worker helped walk my through and gave me great advice on how to cleanse my house ! Thank you so much !! You can find many different items here and it smells amazing !! read more

I am so happy I discovered Paradise Found! I love spiritual stores and this shop has an amazing selection of incense, candles, books, jewelry, crystals and everything Buddha related your heart could desire! Regardless of what you are into they will have it and walking into this store you feel instantly relaxed. After leaving San Diego where there are plenty of these types of stores I was worried I would no longer have access in Santa Barbara given it's much smaller but this store is just as good if not better than those! Looking forward to my next visit! read more

Time for another in a series of what I call.. Guest Yelps from the Wifey "Paradise Found is a *wonderful* New Age/Witchy/Spiritual store that's apparently been around for 30 years..yet in all the time we've been coming to Santa Barbara; we JUST now discovered it on a side street..on Halloween of all days! How ironic is that?! It has a lot of what you might expect from a place like this: books, tarot cards, incense, candles and much more. They have an amazing assortment of crystals too. One of the best assortments I've seen in a store of this type. They also have what I call "spiritual jewelry" as well as something I've never come across before: figurines of various saints, gods, goddesses and other religious people. They also feature all kinds unique gifts for those quirky, eclectic people we all know in our lives. The employees are very open and friendly. They usually have an intuitive tarot reader present for readings and also feature guest speakers from time to time to lecture or hold workshops on all kinds of things. A word of advice.. go in while giving yourself plenty of time to browse and peruse. You'll be sure to find something...if not for someone else then certainly for yourself. I'm excited that I don't *have* to make a special trip to Solvang's "Mystic Merchant" when I'm in the area. I'll certainly be coming back here many more times in the future!" read more

Enter calm. Petting the old poodle, the friendly owner (if she wasn't the owner she sure is an amazing salesperson), the location, the organization and ease of movement in a tidy little shop. I got so many gifts here and each one was cherished. The place has some good energy. My kids touched a crystal so I lectured them about not touching. The salesperson said, "If it's OK with you, it's OK with me. They are welcome to touch the ones that are in their reach." That was a moment of blessed relief and gratefulness. What an enjoyable experience. Check out what they have written on their bookmarks about non-judgement. Right on! read more

I love the store!! I was actually hesitant to go in since ive never been spiritual or into any of that self help stuff but these people changed that during a really hard time in my life. Even the employees that work here genuinely care and want you to be happy. a++ go in if your ever in the neighborhood, ^_^ read more

I really really enjoy this metaphysical shop. Both times I've been in the area, I've had a reading done by Vicki. She's a quirky awesome person with a wonderful gift. I love her healing energy and her readings have always been very accurate for my friends and I. I usually record my readings and it's wonderful to be able to hear multiple readings back to back from previous months. She's very accurate and the readings definitely relate to one another especially since months lapse between them. 15 mins for $25, 30 mins for $45, she also does longer readings but I've only gotten these two time frames. I definitely recommend at least 30 minutes, 15 is very short. The rest of the shop has a wonderful feel to it. Calm, organized, clean. They have an assortment of polished and raw crystals, books, calendars, incense, etc. I think the owner also rescues poodles so there is often a canine buddy there. read more

I was visiting Santa Barbara this past weekend and happened upon this great place. What a great selection of stones, oils, books, tarot cards, and other trinkets. I bought a meditation coloring book and an amethyst healing wand. The lady working was very nice and helped me find what I was looking for. Everything was reasonably priced. read more

This is a gem of a place. The owner is wonderful. Readers are top notch! If you need a little guidance - I would come here. Only suggestion is to make the Relationships (book section) more defined like "Parenting & Family" and "Relationships" and then maybe even add a section called "Mindfulness" to help potential customers better find said books. But this is a minor constructive comment. Enjoy this bookstore, especially for gift purchases (books, gems, cards, music and more). read more

This your average, fun spiritual shop with stones, lots of books, scheduled readings, jewelry, clothing, as well as other "spiritual items". I was a tad disappointed b/c a SB woman highly rec'd it to me, and I've been to better elsewhere in the country. read more

Paradise found is your typical metaphysical store. It has crystals, incense/sage, books and a nice collection of tarot and oracle cards. I was really excited to learn about this store but was disappointed in the customer service (or lack there of.) I shopped in the store for nearly a half an hour and was not acknowledged once by either of the sales people. In these types of stores customer service is key. I can buy any of the books, cards or candles they sell on amazon for half the price. I go to the store for an experience and was disappointed that I didn't get the welcoming vibe I was hoping for. read more
