GETTING HERE:…read more Navigate to the address listed on Yelp. It's located across the street from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in DTSB. REVIEW: I stumbled upon Paradise Found as I was trying to find parking in downtown SB. I am so thankful to have found it! I love stores like this; when I enter I feel a sense of peace and relief. I feel like I can breathe. Books galore. Many, many books! I love the books! I observed they offer psychic readings, although I am unclear if that's P.C. in 2026? Please forgive me if I am mistaken. Various items for sale, stickers and candles, etc. There was one quiet employee working behind the counter. I think she smiled at me, if that. But, I definitely welcomed that energy shift when I entered the store. I am looking forward to going back! I definitely recommend a visit. Thanks!

Came across Candle Bar 111 when walking around the "Funk Zone" area of Downtown Santa Barbara. It's…read moresuch a cute shop that sells, candles, candle related goods, cards, soaps, and more! We noticed that they had a workshop area and spontaneously decided to sign up for the candle making class later that day. There were spots available, so we were able to enroll on the spot. You can also sign up for the workshop online on their website. We came back a little later for the workshop, and everything we needed to make our candle was provided. The owner, Lindsay was absolutely wonderful! Her instructions were clear, and she really made the process fun! I also appreciated that she came over to check on each of us and provide some insight/suggestions on our scent combinations. As a newbie to candle making, this was so appreciated! She also answered any questions I had regarding the process, as well as provided helpful tips on how to best burn my new candle! I love that they have a wide variety of different jars and scents to choose from. It was so much fun picking out my scent combination. They change out their scents, so there's always something new to discover! Since we were one of the later workshops in the day, we left our candle at the shop overnight to cure. We were able to pick it up the next day and bring it home! We picked up a couple of other things from the shop and had a nice chat with Lindsay and her husband, Jason, who were so kind and fun to talk to! We also found out that Candle Bar 111 does candle refill days, so we'll definitely have to come back and do that sometime!

Thanks to Josh and Lex for bringing Macher to all of us. Located in such a prime location, and with LOTS of parking. I was wrapping up my Christmas shopping on another beautiful Goleta day, and had people on my list ranging in ages from one to 91. And sure enough Macher had specialty gift items for everyone. Gifts for every room in the house, including some very special candles, fragrances, cook books, children's books, dishware, fun garden items, fun greeting cards, and some one-of-a-kind pillows. The list of their items really does go on and on, you really need to visit Macher to experience it all. I am looking forward to visiting Macher for any and all special occasions. I can truly say this is a special place. Conveniently located in the Calle Real Center, pretty much next to Kyle's Kitchen, and crawling distance to Trader Joe's.

I had no idea which item went to which order number, as there were so many duplicates, and the staff figured all of it out for me! There were two gals helping me specifically (luckily the store wasn't busy) but I only remember one of their names (Ximena, I think?).
