I'm a fan. This place has lots of cool stuff. But that's just it, it is stuff. I come here to buy gifts for people because the cool stuff is nice to give as a present for various occasions. I like the message of this store, it says goodness, it says love, it says light. That's my style. read more

I have been going here for years. I really like it. It reminds me of Sedona's cool earthy shops. I find it very healing. Today I went in looking for something else and decided to try a reading with P. Anna Chapman, the intuitive consultant working at that time. She was very centered. Kind. Honest and empathetic. I left with a lot of encouragement and positivity. I am glad I went in. I recommend P. Anna Chapman. read more

This place is great. I've been coming here for years. Owner is always kind. Employees are always friendly. They've got something for everyone there. Sure, they're very pricy compared to LA. But it's Santa Barbara. Nothing is cheap in Santa Barbara. The vibe is very peaceful and kind there. I'm not sure what "Matthew R." is talking about below. There is certainly power and sorcery going on but it's good. It's Paradise Found. But you know what they say ... we don't see things how they are. We see things how WE are. D'oh! read more

I love this store! I had a reading here and it was a really good experience. The books are great too. I can get lost in here for hours. It's really good energy. My ten year old daughter says its her favorite store in Santa Barbara too. She likes the fairy section. I bought her some book that have been really helpful. I asked for help on what they recommend for her age. The store has all kinds of goodies for the soul. I'm so happy Santa Barbara has this store. I hope it stays open forever! read more

If you are into gems this is the spot to go to in Santa Barbara. I was looking for a new necklace and came here to look at there Amethyst collection. After looking through there inexpensive rock collection I found the perfect one. It was just the size and shape for a styling necklace. The people who work here are also very informative. I asked them about several different attributes of gems and without hesitation they had the answer. My favorite thing at this shop is probably these little gem wrist bands they have. read more

Wandered in and was pleasantly greeted by a sweet dog and then some nice girls. They let us peruse the books, crystals, decor, jewelry, greeting cards and try out the Tibetan & crystal bowls. Even though we didn't make a purchase they were so nice and we plan to return for gifts. read more

Literally I was walking out of the library back to my car and thinking about where I could find a metaphysical shop in Santa Barbara, when I saw Paradise Found across the street. Perfect little shop for your books, yogi CDs and healing crystal collection, they even had my favorite Japanese brand of incense that I haven't been able to find since the Bodhi Tree closed! Great to know there's a perfect little spiritual store here in SB! read more

I love this place. It has a wonderful selection of books/CDs/incense.. There is a rotating list of intuitive and card readers. I LOVED seeing Anne for a reading. I was not a fan of Amy's reading. read more

Great tarot card selection, amazing vibes. Always smells great. Everyone is super knowledgeable and helpful. I love Tucker (the grey poodle) most of all. He's a sweetheart. Also a great place to find some beautiful handcrafted jewelry! read more

Fun Holistic bookstore and novelties shop. Went in searching for a tarot deck for my sister's birthday, found several fun options. The ladies there were pleasant and helpful. Lots of cool things in here. Check it out! They have things for almost any religious affiliation, and plenty for those with none! read more

This is by far THE BEST metaphysical bookstore with very gifted readers. I've enjoyed every visit. Yesterday, however, just blew me away. I had a reading with Anna Chapman. WOW Anna takes those principles, theories & concepts that genius monks and gifted people pour over for centuries and makes the reality so simple. I love this place & all the people that tend to the store. xoxo Supriya :) read more

Beautiful store!!! Feel the uplifted energy when you walk through the door. Very helpfully staff (: always a great experience

I love that store ! The staff is very friendly and always make sure you find what you are looking for . But I wasn' t looking for anything when I walked in the other day . I got intrigued by the sign in front of the store : " Today Intuitive readings by Amy Katz ! ". I Inquired inside about prices : $45 for 1/2 hour reading sounded right to me . At that point, I though that I could use some guidance . I was struggling with some big decisions to make in my career . So I booked my consultion with Amy . She amazed me by her level of clairvoyance !!!. Amy 's grounding energy is truly healing . I left the session happy and at peace . Thanks Amy for your generosity an kindness!!! read more

One of my absolute favorite places in town! A true pillar for me. Both for treats for myself & for gifts for family and friends. Great energy & wonderful selections. Thank you! read more

Such an amazing Spiritual store. The vibe in this place is BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE the beautiful souls who work there they are always open to helping and talking about whatever! I spend all my time in there this is a magical place read more

Paradise Found is just that, a place where you can go and find a bit of paradise and sanctuary in the downtown Santa Barbara area. Beautiful crystals, gifts, and cards, along with a fantastic selection of books and cds. I have purchased and found countless gifts and treasures for myself and loved ones at Paradise Found! I have not yet done a reading there, but I have heard good things. When I bring in my young daughter, she does not want to leave! They are very gracious with letting her touch and feel and play with some of the items we look at, too, which is very sweet. It's a must visit staple downtown SB! read more

Paradise Found was a treasured find in downtown Santa Barbara, located across the side street from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. I was pleasantly impressed by the diversity of healing items in every corner. Make sure to allow plenty of time, because the cute store front is small for the internal store size within, including little nooks The books alone, take time to enjoy. I easily found paradise in gifts for friends, and myself! A great soothing space in the center of bustling downtown. read more

This store is stoked with books, yummy rare essential oils that I don't see in other stores (even Lazy Acres), fantastic cards, spiritual and artsy trinkets and tools, my favorite incense brand, Triloka, not carried in any other stores in SB (bonus!). I love the Doreen Virtue angel cards selection--I've bought nine decks in the past year. They have a frequent buyer program so for books and CDs. The energy is great and the salespeople are in alignment with the vibe of the place--no sham new age preaching here. Grounded, authentic. Outside is a cork board with lots of useful business cards. The store holds events sometimes, and they have one of the few mailing lists I actually like being on--I read the newsletter they email. If they're out of it, they order it fast. And I'd be willing to bet that if you want something they aren't carrying, they'll find a way to get it for you. It's a business I hope will thrive here for a long time to come because it's one-of-a-kind and has such a unique selection of items in a genre where it's easy to often see just the same old stuff as the other hippie stores have. Excellent place to go gift shopping. There is a parking garage right next door for easy access. If you're ever nearby, drop in and take a spin through just for the pleasure. read more

The Santa Barbara streets were filled with smoke from the nearby fires when my friend brought me to this store. From the moment I walked in I was enthralled! The the ambiance is so peaceful I forgot about the outside world! There is a wide variety of items for every faith or spiritual direction and the merchandise is beautifully displayed and well priced! The owner was very helpful and knowledgeable and a true delight to speak with. My only regret is that I don't live closer to this establishment. read more

I have loved Paradise Found for many years. They have a good selection of items and a knowledgeable, friendly staff. Today, I went there with my daughter, who was searching for some birthday gifts. I noticed that they were offering Tarot readings that day. I have never had one and never thought much about it, but knew immediately that I was going to have one today, right then. I had a reading with Anna and am still processing the experience. I don't know much about Tarot, but virtually every single thing she said hit the nail on the head of where I am in my life right now. I have never met Anna before and said very little the entire time, so definitely wasn't giving verbal clues. I was, and am, amazed by the experience. If you have ever thought about having a Tarot reading, I suggest you go to Paradise Found and sit with Anna. read more

This is my favorite place to go, browse, get a reading and generally feel good vibes. Great selection of books, incense, jewelry, music, wind chimes, etc. and enlightenment. I always find something I love. Staff are great, friendly and helpful.The energy is great. Check out the website for schedule of readers and up and coming events The ones I've been too have all been wonderful! Namaste! read more
