As I am typing this review, I am being reminded that summer is practically over. I hate summer and…read moreI hate hot weather, but it was really nice to not have to drive Gavin to and from school and dealing w/ his football. We took a random Friday off just to have lunch in Capitola. We were early and was undecided on where to eat, so we walked around and landed in this cute gem of local boutique. I help pledge/donate to help dogs/puppies get pulled from the euthanasia list, but I cannot foster and adopt dogs/puppies now. My schedule, my finances, and overall place of living does not allow it, so I put 110% of my effort and free time into donating, volunteering, and fostering cats/kittens. I have fostered 22 kittens/cats. I have Adam (own rescue efforts), Alfred, and Myla that's not included in the total yet. So I'm basically crazy cat lady, so when finding this pair of earrings was fate that I knew I had to purchase even though I did not think I would be purchasing anything because we were just exploring to kill time before the restaurant opens. I'm so glad we came in. Service was warm and prices are fair - come support your local shops! I used to live less than a mile away from here... I do miss living up here.

So happy to come across this spot spontaneously. If you like jewelry and art, come here. Josie is…read moreso kind and speaks highly of all the artists in the shop. Every piece is uniquely made and fairly priced; I can't emphasize this enough. We left happy with every purchase and looking forward to coming back in the future.

I came here for a specific sunscreen after a friend recommended. (If curious it's Avasol.) I wanted…read moresomething that had clean ingredients and easy to apply for the kids. There are a ton of clean options and bulk refills for your reusable bottles. I ended up grabbing a chapstick too. It's a great shop and a fun change of the typical shops in the village. The only downside is getting through the village. I would love if they opened earlier in the summer to grab some things before it gets busy.

They sell a variety of household goods, skincare and beauty products, and so much more, with the emphasis on good-for-the-planet and good-for-you. I had run past this shop and driven by many times, always saying to myself that I needed to drop in when it's open (which by the way is 11am-6pm), and finally got a chance to during the Capitola Art & Wine Festival. There's so much more in this store than I expected, and it's a lot bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Not only do they sell a lot of specialty and everyday items from quality and earth conscious brands, they also are a refillery so you can pop in armed with your own bottles/containers to refill with everything from body lotion to laundry detergent! It's awesome! Ethos is also a Certified B Corp, donates some of their proceeds to environmental nonprofits, is locally-owned, and women-owned! So many positive reasons to support and check them out! Do it for your health and for the planet! :)

Some things are very overpriced, the disco balls are 65, and tiny, you can get one three times the size at a larger home goods store, I get trying to support local artists, but that breaks the wallet. Crystals are very well priced and some things simply a bargain. "Parking in the back, vintage in the front..." there sign in the parking lot. Cute.

From clothing, to glassware, to eclectic vintage keepsakes, you're bound to find something that sparks joy. The owner truly loves what she does and it shows. She also has an Instagram and does live sales from her shop so if you're not local, you can still shop with her from afar. I am super stoked that I'm nearby because this shop is a true gem. I look forward to all of my future vintage goodies and shopping adventures!

I had my son in a stroller, and without hesitation her judgmental side came out. There was no "Hi, is there anything I can help you with?" it was essentially "leave, since you have a child in a stroller." Cool, whatever. I'll take my business elsewhere. The whole experience felt gross and weird. For a second I even wondered if the judgment was because I'm darker skinned with a light skinned child, who knows. Anyone with kids: I'd say stay away. This place is clearly not kid friendly.

The shop was also dog friendly so our dog was able to come inside. The shop is a lot of true vintage and very unique pieces. My husband found a pair of vintage anteater Tony Lama boots that he fell in love with. We didn't buy them that day but luckily when we came back the following day they were still there and we were able to get them. Lots of quality pieces inside and definitely worth a stroll through while in town.
