I've traveled a lot and always seem to be looking for some little gift to give someone when I'm away but then I remember Linda's gift store and think why bother I can find anything I need there in fact when I was out of town, a Friend's birthday was coming up and I had to get it by the time I got home. I knew the store would be closed so I called Linda and asked her to please get this particular item and please wrap it and I will pick it up when she opens. I gave her my credit card. She wrapped it, and the problem was solved immediately. I am so grateful the store is literally in our backyard. I could see her very easily opening another store in one of the Hawaiian islands. She would be a tremendous success, but then I would miss her. Thank you for your careful choosing of the items you carry in your store. As a former owner, I know the hard work pays It takes to have a store like hers . Again , thank you for your service to our community.

Two weeks ago my husband and I were antiquing and came upon this great store at the end of our day…read more Two weeks later we went back to pick up a new headboard, dresser and night table, all of which we are very happy with. The quality of the furniture, the range of choices, the flexibility with colors , hardware choices, and the talented store owner, Anita, made this a very enjoyable purchase. I'd been looking for well over a year for items I found in these two rooms filled with lovely things. And all of them were beyond my expectations. I highly recommend Cowbelles to anyone looking for a pleasant shopping experience seeking antique furniture, thoughtful gifts, great accessories and unique jewelry. We live near San Francisco and it was worth sitting in summer travel over the hill to visit. I believe we would have been hard pressed to find the quality of merchandise, the value of the items we purchased and the genuine helpfulness of the store owner anywhere else. Make sure to add it to your list,you will enjoy it! We plan to go back soon.

I did not experience the level of horrible customer service that Yelpers complained about at this location. I bought a fun scarf - kind of like a cheap knock off of the striped Missoni-style scarves.

There is a surface lot a block (off of Monterey) away that has all the same problems as the street parking. Generally speaking I like the odds that the lot behind the police station offers, but in peak tourist season you'd best plan ahead for parking. This is a medium ish sized store very typical in layout for the shops that line this block close to the beach. The entrance faces the street, and the stock is laid out through the store with the cashier at the back. It will seem narrow but isn't really. The stock falls into mid range giftables. It's not a super expensive spot where you can blow 500 dollars on a purse but is the kind of spot where you can pick up a decent clutch for 40 bucks or so. Most of the items fall into the home décor category with a mild beach theme. There are inspirational books, wine accessories, all sorts of beach gear, light clothing, candles, leather craft goods, cups, and yes magnets because of course there are. Overall it's a reliable source of better quality gifts then you'll find elsewhere on the esplanade, the kind of things that won't embarrass you when you get home.

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!
