I can stay here all day. I mean it :) My husband and I came…read morehere to have lunch and of course to browse through the store. This is a cafe and a home goods store that features a curated selection of goods such as fine china, gourmet food, candles, cookbooks, garden supplies and much more. Everything is unique and carefully curated. I had to walk through the store twice to be able to see it all. I did end up buying an ice cream scoop, salt and pepper grinder sea salt from Italy an olive oil and a cheese knife. So many things to look at. Just amazing ....customer service is helpful and friendly. There is something for everyone here. From a bottle of $ vinegar to a $$$$ Italian china ... The food is delicious here. We ordered sandwiches, scones and coffee and enjoyed every bite at the cozy patio outside by the water feature surrounded with trees and plants. This place is cozy, trendy and beautiful. A must stop when in the area.

Visited Field + Fort for brekkie not once but TWICE on our girls weekend getaway to Summerland…read more The cutest little gem of a cafe and store that sits parallel to the ocean where you're bound to a celebrity sighting on any given day. Walked to the cafe on Saturday morning while staying at the Inn about 200 ft away. It took a bit of time to work through the line but after ordering and sitting in the zen garden, my English muffin sandwich and coffee was delivered with a warm smile. The highlight was the fresh house made English muffin and habanero apricot jam. The jam was so good I'm still thinking about it. Loved our experience so much we came back the following morning. Ordered the breakfast sandwich this time around and it was just as good. The staff was friendly and helpful. Pricing is all reasonable considering the freshness and quality of the food. So glad to have discovered this gem and will most definitely be back when in or driving through the area.

There are 2 "cabins" that have bedroom furniture, distressed cabinets, rugs, vases, and the like. Many of these are one-of-a-kind and beautiful. Of course, the prices are astronomical for a regular person such as myself but I spent an hour pretending I was shopping for Oprah! LOL! There were a few vases and plant containers made out of oyster shells and such that I absolutely loved. Next time I come back, I'm going to have saved some money to get one of those shell vases!! Beautiful spot to find some unique pieces for your garden.

Wow! So glad we chose to come mattress shop here…read more We'd previously bought a mattress at Sit N Sleep in Oxnard (also good experience), but found this place to have bigger showroom.

I am actually stunned. A chair I found on Wayfair, ($669.99)is selling for $5000 at Garde. That…read moremeans they bought it from Wayfair, a retail outlet, not a supplier and marked it up by 1000%. That's insane. Normally a retail store buys from a wholesaler and marks up maybe 50%. That is from a WHOLESALER!! Typically, the average markup of furniture ranges from 20% to 50% based on the furniture's wholesale cost. Furniture retailers use markup to cover their operating costs including employee salaries, rent, utilities, marketing costs, and other overheads, while leaving a portion for profit. 1000% is like saying " I know people who shop here are idiots" Crazy.

We have a maple Scandinavian dining room set my parents gave us as a wedding present. When the kids…read morewere little years back, the original seat fabric got all stained and nasty with milk, etc. We went to an undisclosed interior design place and replaced the fabric with marine grade vinyl and thick padding. The result was horrendous. The vinyl was tucked, unprofessionally with big seams/creases at the corners, like a do it yourself job. We didn't care at the time - as long as it held up for the next 10 years, we were good. Come 2020 and that vinyl is getting annoying. Our butts stick to them, the chairs noticeably look bad relative to the rest of our furnishing, and most importantly, the kids aren't leaving have half their food on the seats. Santa Barbara Design Center has been here for a while and I stopped in randomly on the way to Home Improvement. I was introduced to Michael, a knowledgeable and personable chap. I showed him an online picture of the original chair, and that I wanted to restore the seat to its original, sleek, sculptural and refined splendor. He said no problem, provided a couple of premium quality fabric books, and we were on our way. We picked out the fabric and brought the chairs in. Michael commented "my god, who did this work?" 50% down and ten days later, chairs were done, with a message "come down and make sure you are happy." My wife and I looked, were pleased - Michael responded with "here's something that bothers me, I want you to see..." He flipped the chair over and on the bottom, the seat fabric was stapled just outside of the underside frame. You wouldn't see it normally, but from a distance or looking down from the side, you might. Immediately we thought the same thing, yeah, that's not ideal. He said it shouldn't be done like this, let me redo it for you, no charge. His upholsterer redid it, and boy those 8 chairs look great, almost better than the original! The seats came out sleek and wonderfully curved over the underlying pad. The fabric is comfortable, soft and elegant - couldn't be happier. The interior of SBDC fills a warehouse space and contains just about everything; furniture, rugs, lamps, etc. The staff were COVID compliant, and Michael was a dream to work with. He has an excellent eye for detail, is easy to work with, and is an honest broker; I wish we had more projects for him!
