Malin & Goetz, Aarke, Baggu, hand crafted pottery / ceramics & jewelry, candles, Aesop... the list goes on. I love their greeting card selection - creative & witty & one of a kind. A little on the upper scale for home goods but very unique finds. Fun place to browse and kill time because you'll find very interesting items. You bet we didn't leave empty handed. Putting this under the "there is something for everyone" store category.

We came upon this boutique while wandering the shops and eateries of a plaza that consisted mostly…read moreof breweries and a few wineries in the area. Upon entering I was impressed at the variety of merchandise on display. It was interesting to find so many items that enticed one to feel drawn into buying it because it was something you felt you needed. I was already on the lookout in trying to find a pair of brown sweat pants that would match my sweater. When I spotted it in the clothing section, I was excited to see that they had my size! However, once I saw the price of $139.00 I decided that my money could be better spent elsewhere. That's when I took a closer look to find that just about everything in the store was outrageously priced! Sure, it is a cute and quaint little shop, but not good enough to earn a purchase from me! I'm surprised that the majority of Yelp reviews don't mention the high prices. I guess this is just a normal way of life living in Sant Cruz!

This rating is because of the experiences from the 3 times I've visited. If you wish to be ignored…read morecompletely and feel like you're a bother to the one employee, this is the place to go. 2 of the times I've went the employee has been chatting with a friend before I entered the shop and when entering had no hello or acknowledgement. It took 10 minutes of looking at items and showing my bf outside (being courteous of the 2 customer limit) that the employee told me in a bored tone 'to ask if I needed anything' or something of the generic 'help if needed' comment. Sad because I was excited to shop and support local, but when the attitude to customers is such it just isn't a place I want to stay or spend my money.

I purchased them, a beautiful wrap top and green beaded drop necklace. I jumped back in the next day to get another pair of jeans, and bought a gorgeous mother of pearl necklace.

I've wasted two different trips going to the store hoping to buy for my Burningman trip because they have exactly what I would see myself wearing out there. I've left messages on Instagram with no response. At the very least update your hours on Google and Yelp so that people don't waste their time making a trip down there only to find that you're closed. You already have very limited hours posted so i had to squeeze in a time to visit based on what posted and you still were not open! Zero communication. Sad because this seems like a really awesome store!

Changing my review to three stars because the store looks cool but I am still incredibly frustrated not being able to ever get in to buy anything

You can tell that the owner Amber has great taste and takes pride in the way she stocks her store. There's truly something for everyone. The thing that makes it five stars for me, are the ladies that work there. I've communicated with them online about restocks of products and sizing advice, as well as in person. They have always been so extremely kind and helpful. They have a great website, and Instagram presence. I'm always excited to see what cute new pieces they'll be adding to the shop. They do offer online shopping if you aren't a local!

Somewhat classic with a bohemian twist, very Santa Cruzian. Only negative, is that I walk by the shop at least 2x a week. And I literally have to run past otherwise I am pulled in and even with the "I'll just go in to look attitude"....well I usually walk out with a treasure. I am a Mme groupee. Elise is a delight. Oh, and the pieces are just great for any size, even us curvy girls.

The energy here is unmatched and I could've stayed in this place for hours! So much to look at and great people to talk to. According to my receipt, the wonderful woman who helped us at the register was Shirley. She was so knowledgeable about everything that I had questions about and she told me and my bf about some of her experiences with the items we were purchasing. The prices here are also great and I will definitely be coming back to SC again just to come back here and buy more! Thank you so much for chatting with us and helping us Shirley, keep up the good work with your air dry clay!

Cognito had an abundance of options and we found a few gorgeous pieces! My husband unfortunately left our purchased items at another cafe around the corner and Janis quickly worked with us to coordinate our order to be shipped to LA. We appreciated her incredible customer service, as any other business owner could have brushed it off and said too bad, as it was our own fault, however Janis went above and beyond to make sure we got our pieces shipped to LA and couldn'y be more grateful! We will absolutely be back when we visit Santa Cruz again. Just wanted to share about the kind-hearted owner who absolutely deserves all of the business!!!

It has a cute little shop in the front of the blue building. If you are on their mailing list, which I highly recommend. You'll be on the know of their online sales, and tent sales.
