The energy here is impeccable. This shop is a step into another realm, and the collection that the…read morevery knowledgeable owner has curated over the years is so obviously a labor of duty and love. Her knowledge is vast and deeply rooted in culture. If you're like me and you are very picky about where you purchase your spiritual goods, this place is THE REAL DEAL and not a place where you find yourself questioning the authenticity of the shopkeeper's spirit and energy. I love how this shop has an essence and acknowledgment of light and dark energies and that which lies between. That gives it a very genuine feel... you won't find that "good vibes only" type of faked energy here. You will find meaningful depth in every nook and cranny you look into in this store. Some of these items feel like they came from another time. There is the most incredible collection of Santa Muerte goods here. Also, the best veladoras preparadas. Good collection of minerals/crystals, smudging herbs, evil eye merchandise, books, string bracelets, bells, curandero oils/herbs/incenses/aguas espirituals, and tarot/oracle cards. Truly one of a kind place and you can easily spend an hour here and not even make it through one full aisle. They even have a gorgeous altar with candles in the back and they have a sweet little dog here also!

I found exactly what I came for and had so much fun looking around. Lynnette answered all of our questions and guided us in the right direction, all while helping us stay within our budget. I came for two things, but I also picked up a gorgeous lapis lazuli bracelet, a hematite ring, and a few crystals. My 6 year old had a request for a "sky blue" crystal and Lynnette suggested sodalite and angelite and they are so perfect for him. This is now my go-to shop. I'm already planning my next trip!

Covid Edition: I had my first reiki session with JEN back in November. She is amazing and has…read morehelped me work through blockages in my heart chakra, as well as working through self doubt/worth. At the time I was able to schedule a session with Jen directly, she took all precautions to make sure I was comfortable during our 1 on 1 session.

I'm ready to make my next appointment (covid allowing)

My life Balance and Business have soared since I've tapped into what the Zen room has to offer. I…read morehave been visiting the Zen room for over two years now. My experience every time has been different and fantastic. I love that they offer group meditation and individual meditation as needed. Also I enjoy the fact that I can walk in to their retail store and purchase anything from Stone's, Crystals, Jewelry, clothing, Tea and much, much more. I highly recommend if you're in the area you should visit the Zen room and experience the wonderful atmosphere for yourself! If you have time make an appointment with Dawn and experience all of the wonderful benefits she provides...

My partner and I were visiting the area and were so excited to find this tea shop! It was very cozy…read moreand cute inside and the woman working was so warm and inviting. She brought out a few different teas for us to smell and was really helpful and informative. We drank our tea there and she offered a second steep, milk, honey. It was a really nice experience and I wish they had a shop closer to home, but I've already ordered more of the tea that I had, Jasmine green tea, which was high quality and quite fragrant! Will be back!

I like all of the varieties here, but I have been treated in a very dismissive way by staff when I…read morehave come in with questions. I feel a little bit discouraged. I am a big tea person, but also don't know a lot about different varieties and want to try new things. I figured it would be OK to ask questions in a tea shop. I just wish that staff was a little bit friendlier to people like me who don't know what they're coming into order right away and need a little bit more time to ask questions and figure it out.

My favorite Magic shop in Santa Cruz! (Well, they are in Soquel Village) Not too witchy, but…read moredefinitely witchy enough. Not too pagan, but definitely pagan. They have an amazing selection of goods from cultures around the world! Boomerangs! African sculptures, Asian goddesses, lots of Celtic stuff, drums, flags. It's a perfect place for a gift shop, books, local clothing vendors and unique items. It also is a spiritual shop, so they carry lots of tarot and oracle decks, have astrology and psychic readings, and do fairs the 2nd Sunday of the month. A good place for herbs, crystals, jewelry & candles. A super fun stop whether you're just visiting or local to Santa Cruz. Not to be missed!

TLDR; AMAZING CANDLES & BEAUTIFUL SHOP…read more So I've known of Sugar & T since they collaborated with Salinas Valley Pride Celebrations for the 2018 Pride Candle! I went to Downtown Gift Shop to grab the candle and I was hooked! The candle was so sweet and delicious! I looked for the candle and found the candle maker on Facebook. I ordered these two beauties and she delivered them straight to our door and the comments about their amazing scent never stopped. Aside from the phenomenal candles and customer service what REALLY sold me was her shop. I had a friend visiting from out of town and we finally got to go to her shop and it was a gem! If you've seen Schitt's Creek imagine Rose Apothecary but in real life! My friend got the 2021 Pride Candle amongst other scents. This will forever be a stop when I visit family in the Monterey Bay. If you ever find yourself exiting the 101 to go to Monterey do yourself a favor and visit this gorgeous shop. The candles won't disappoint and neither will the aesthetic.
