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.

Santa Barbara News & Gifts

GETTING HERE:…read more Located in the Santa Barbara Municipal Airport. REVIEW: This is a cute, little shop that has a wide variety of items for purchase. Per usual, you have your snacks and waters and magazines etc., but they also carry local/speciality items. While waiting for my flight I spent a few minutes here and found a book for purchase by Richard Senate, called, "Ghosts of the California Missions". Can't wait to finish it! Service was unremarkable, but such is to be expected. Prices were high, cough cough, hi Santa Barbara, cough cough. There aren't many options in the SB Airport for quick items, so this is your only chance. I'd recommend checking them out, if not for their local items. :)

Living here in Goleta I did not know of Terra Sol, and so it was a much welcomed surprise to walk into their lush green space. Their staff was very helpful in directing us towards the different areas of plants, statuary, pottery, fountains, and also to their well stocked areas of garden tools, soils, and pretty much everything you need to help keep your garden and outdoor areas green and colorful. And all very reasonably priced. And for those of you wanting to start a Zen Garden, their selection of Buddah Statues, Fountains, and Pagoda Lanterns is a great place to start. Conveniently located in North Goleta, off of Patterson Avenue, between Highway 101 and Hollister Avenue, and a stone's throw from the Santa Barbara Humane Society and the US Post Office.

Time to start that Zen Garden you've always wanted.

Right now with Covid they have limited hours that are listed on the website - M, Wednesday, and Friday to do curbside as the bookstore is closed to the public.

What you can do is go to the bookstore and they have a binder of all of their items and someone will run in to get the items for you like a personal shopper. They have hand sanitizer and sanitize the binder between people. Wear your when rolling up. I got some cute baby items for my baby and friends. Another option is ordering online to ship or have it ready at the store - but there may be a processing time for that so you're better off doing the binder process if you're wanting something day of.

While my family has been going into Chaucer's for many years, it is due to the fact that they're…read morethe only surviving bookshop in Santa Barbara. We have seen chains like Borders and Barns & Noble, as well as locally owned shops - Granada Books and Earthling - all sadly disappear from our community, and I am concerned that Chaucer's has become complacent, secure in the knowledge that they hold a monopoly on Santa Barbara readers. Chaucer's selection is expansive, however, in their effort to provide a broad range of titles, there is usually only one copy of each. The staff over-crowd their narrow aisles, oftentimes with books stacked on the floor, a difficult navigation when you are also trying to squeeze past another patron in their aisles that are barely two-people wide. I also am ambivalent about Chaucer's organization. Mind you, it is easy to miss the placards that indicate each section and sub-section, as they are the same hand-written signs on cardboard that have been stuck between the books for the past 20 years. It is unclear also who is staff and who is not, because there is no dress code and there are no nametags... except on the dog wearing a bandana identifying her as 'Shop Dog.' Look for whoever is actually behind the counter, I suppose. It must be said that they are friendly and helpful. If they do not have a specific book that you are looking for, they always offer to order it for you.

La Cumbre Plaza

La Cumbre Plaza: Santa Barbara's Unexpected Art Revival…read more It's not true that La Cumbre Plaza is a "dead space." In fact, it has become one of the most vibrant creative hubs in Santa Barbara. The number of galleries continues to grow, transforming the plaza into a vibrant new art destination. Grab a coffee, take a stroll, and discover six galleries and creative spaces -- from the colorful and elegant works at Illuminations and Elevate, and Fine Line Galleries, to the ever-changing exhibits at The Voice Gallery. Step into the Museum of Tibetan Art & Culture and Legacy Art Studios to meet Lama Tashi, or visit the Grace Fisher Foundation's Inclusive Arts Clubhouse for a heartwarming dose of community creativity. Pop-up shops, such as Crimson Holidays, and the variety of local artists make it the perfect place for meaningful gift shopping. And if you come on the Third Friday of the month, the entire plaza lights up for the Gallery Row Art Walk -- with music, wine, laughter, and hands-on art-making. You might even help paint a giant paper-mâché elephant for good luck! La Cumbre Plaza isn't fading -- it's evolving. The artists are here, and they're bringing new life to town.

It was an open layout that had plenty of seating inside the restaurant. The decor was moder, but not overdone. We were greeting and pointed to a table but that was it. We realized there was a QR code on the table and we could order our food on there. It took a little while to get our food even though no one else was there. I found it really odd to not even be told to use the QR code to order or be informed of anything. Stewed beef noodles with Ramen- 9/10 My husband ordered this and I tried some. The broth was delicious. Rich and flavorful but not overbearing. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the meat was tender. The bok choy was a needed touch. My husband ate the whole bowl and wanted a second because was so good. Certified Angus Beef hot pot- 8/10 I ordered this with the tom yum broth. I didn't know it was a creamy version of the broth until it was served. I'm not mad about it but it wasn't in the description in case others are dairy sensitive. The broth was flavorful and really delicious. I will say that the beef was tough and it a typical cut that overcooked very quickly in the broth. I'm not positive it was Angus beef grade. I just now realized it was missing the lotus root but gave me zucchini instead. I was also missing my quail eggs. If I didn't read the description to know I was supposed to have them, I would've missed that too. Overall, the food was delicious but the service was 1 star for sure. We were never checked on and the waiter only appeared if we pushed the call button. If you can overlook the lack of customer service, the food is really delicious.

Las Uvas

Simply a stoner's, snacker and munchie's delight!…read more I had happened upon Las Uvas on multiple occasions before actually giving it a try... 1) I saw it on the GrubHub app and it sparked my curiosity. 2) They were previously on the Axxess app for a buy one, get one bottle of wine (no longer available) 3) I have passed by Las Uvas countless times while cutting through the industrial park that its hidden in (near Goleta Red Distilling). Last night I swung by Target for an online order prior to company visiting and also happened to have had a killer sweet tooth. Las Uvas immediately popped in my mind. If you visit their website, they have a lengthy menu of what they offer. While they don't seem to make anything they sell themselves; instead they purchase wholesale items and offer them for curbside pick-up or delivery (via GrubHub, Seamless, DoorDash or through themselves directly). Their schtick is they sell desserts and wines on demand! Their endless options include: - Bottles of champagne, local wines (white, red and rose from Santa Barbara Winery, Carr, Lafond, Fess Parker, Rancho Sisquoc and common commercial brands); Keep in mind that they check IDs upon delivery!! - Ice cream and gelato by the pint (McConnell's, Talenti, and Ben & Jerry's) - Cheesecake Factory cheesecake and pie slices - Individual ice cream bars and mochi, flavored ice - Krispy Kreme donuts - A large assortment of candies, chocolates, snacks, beverages, and chips I placed my order of four coffee ice cream stuffed brownies, two slices of Cheesecake Factory cheesecake slices, and a pint of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia. Don't judge! The order was on a little metal cart outside their industrial storefront within 7 minutes of placing my order. Impressive! I absolutely love the concept behind Las Uvas. We have needed a business to provide quick delivery of alcohol and goodies. Truly they were genius to set it up near UCSB's campus. I do wish they sold entire cheesecakes or boxes of desserts; perhaps one day. They have an extensive map of delivery zones (covering Santa Barbara, Goleta, Isla Vista, Montecito, and Hope Ranch), plus they're open 7 days a week until 11 pm! Stoners delight!
