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!

The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. I hope this store takes the time to educate themselves on the U.S. Flag code to show proper respect to our nation's beloved flag. It really does mean a lot to many, many people.

My sister and I walked into Romp yesterday afternoon while on a shopping spree downtown. I specifically brought my sister in because she has been missing her favorite shoe store from downtown Santa Barbara since moving to SLO. She immediately fell in love with a pair of boots and with a couple other items. We were greeted once when we walked in, but never attended to or acknowledged after that. There was one single other customer in the store who was trying on a pair of shoes and making a purchase. We perused for about 10 minutes, ooohing and ahhing over certain items and were very interested in trying on a few pairs of shoes. Unfortunately, we weren't deemed worthy enough of attention from the sales lady, who ignored us the entire time. We left the store without being acknowledged or thanked for our visit. This was an extremely sour taste to be left with and we both agreed that driving down to Santa Barbara for our high end shoe purchases would be worth it, rather than being ignored and not helped.

Warm and soft and everything you want in a sweater. The day we left I wore it and on the way to the airport I called the store. It went to voicemail. I tried for days to get a really person to answer. It always went to voicemail. I tried today. SUCCESS! I'm praying the owner will call me back so I can order 3 more. Love these. They are great to wear shopping or going to church - too nice to wear around the house though.

Did not want to spend a lot of money as we usually only use 1 large, even when gone 3 weeks. But where we are going, needed warmer, bulkier clothes. So decided just to walk around the store and found some luggage in the back. Luckily was found one, yes just one that we liked. Lightweight, wheels that spin and a dark color. It was $100, which fit the bill.

I thought I would give them another try. I purchased some jewelry here only for the color to last a…read moreweek. 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!
