We kept hearing how authentic their food is, and they also have a delicious menu of Matcha and Cafe Specials. After walking in and noticing all the other food options, we all split up to visit the other spots within, and we then met at one of the many communal tables to share each other's selections. At our large table we had food from Corazon Cocina, Empty Bowl Gourmet Noodles, Wabi Sabi, Little Bird Kitchen, and Que (West Coast BBQ). They all paired nicely with draft beers and cocktails from Cooney's at the Market, and we even got desserts from Rori's Artisanal Creamery. Staff at each venue was very helpful making food suggestions, and even pointed out some of their own favorites there at the SBPM.

Not fast food type but a decent meal in a quick pace environment. Friendly and quick service. Like a food court type of arrangement but so much more. My favorite is seoul mate kitchen which offers some classic dishes with a fusion twist. I love the bento box here. Pick a protein among beef, pork belly, chicken Or tofu. It also comes with rice, half marinated egg, cucumber, carrots , and three veggie side dishes. A full meal without the need to do much thinking. Next is the ca'dario pizza, we got the parma pizza. I cannot stop eating it... maybe it is the crust Want to try the rori's artisanal creamery. There was a "be backed" sign on the register. We Waited for 10mins or so and had to go.

This is exactly what I needed! My beautiful cat suddenly passed in January and it has been a…read moredifficult time. I was so excited to find a place like this that houses cats that are ready for adoption. The cats have been fully vaccinated, microchipped and have been spayed/neutered. They have reservations available to come pet and play with the cats. You can pay for a 15 minute session or a one hour session. It's such a win-win since the cats get socialized by the people going there and you get the opportunity to live on the cats. Well, I came for an hour and basically cried the whole time as I got to pet and play with the cats. Of course there was one, in particular, that looked similar to mine that I just lost. They crawled up on my lap and just let me pet them and cry. Very therapeutic! Please come support Cat Therapy as they help facilitate finding safe homes for these loving cats. Or better yet, come adopt one of your own. The facility is beautifully designed with toys, boxes, bowls to sleep in, scratch pads and indiscreet litter boxes. The cats freely roam so the doors stay locked to be sure they don't accidentally get out. Just ring the bell when you arrive. They also sell merchandise. This was well worth it! Thank you for the therapy and the chance to enjoy your cats.

Not even a hello. Items are beautiful, service is poor. Salespeople ignored me until I picked out some items. Although there were 2 salespeople, I was not acknowledged until I had selected an armful of items and then was offered a fitting room. Never was offered help afterwards. Would have liked to try on other options but was made to feel like a bother. Only one other customer at the time. Conversely, in shoe store, I had a very friendly, welcoming experience. Christine was very helpful, attentive even though there was another customer and she was only salesperson. She was very knowledgeable, offered various suggestions. I made a shoe purchase but did not make a in-store clothing purchase. Fortunately found clothing designers' web pages online and ordered directly from designers.

And all nestled nicely between Highway 101 and Cabrillo Blvd, and between Garden Street and State Street. Can't even start with what my favorite spots are, I find a new one each time I visit.

You'll also find Live DJ's, Karaoke, Trivia Nights, Live Music, Bingo, Happy/Hoppy Hours . . . and sometimes dancing in the streets.

We've been there when it's busy and it can be festive-- pop ups in old vintage rv's or outside beer halls can appear; bands playing in several spots, etc. Experiences can be hit or miss. We visited a winery called Area 51 which sounded fun, but the wines were just okay. But Pali Wine had very good wines, a relaxing patio, and cool live music. The stores vary from very pricey threads to affordable knick knacks; succulents to vintage records to original artwork. Many spaces occupy previously owned old businesses that give it a nostalgic feeling. A few top name wineries have spaces here (i.e. Fess Parker). Definitely worth checking out in looking for a unique time in Santa Barbara.
