For me, customer service can make or break an experience. Went in, there were 2 gals behind the counter chatting with each other. They paused their involved conversation for a split second so that one could glance up to give a deadpan unfriendly, non-welcoming, underwhelming acknowledgment (I intentionally didn't say "greeting"). Huh, okay, maybe I misread that, I thought. I shopped around while they continued to ignore me and the other shoppers in the store. Me, willing to think it was a fluke, I say something friendly to them about liking the shop and they both stared at me blankly and said nothing (What?!? Who does that??). It was beyond strange- it was rude. I told my daughter to put back the items she picked out and let's go. As we left, my daughter said "bye, thank you" and they ignored her. The whole thing was offensive to me and I'm posting so the owner is aware, and if *that* was the owner of the shop, she clearly won't care anyway and can get back to making my voodoo doll. Went to the next shop where we were greeted from across the store with "hi, welcome in!" And then the store after that with "good afternoon!" And genuine smiles. Creating a positive, welcoming and friendly customer experience goes a long way. The 1-star rating is for the experience. The shop itself has interesting and unique finds and I like the space. read more

Such a cool little shop in Downtown Cambria that is straight out of a movie: The Craft. Very unique. The store itself is kinda small but has different rooms throughout the store. There are sections that have herbs, teas, candles, books, and anything your little witch heart desires. Prices are great and the items they have are different and worth the amount. The back room has a huge selection of different teas that can aid in herbal remedies. There were a few that caught my eye and I still beat myself over not buying it. There is cute garden out back which is influences by Alice and Wonderland. Enjoyed walking around and finding fairies and other cool decor that fully immersed you into this experience. Pretty cool store to see and plus the staff is very friendly and welcoming. If I am ever in the area again, I will definitely have to make a stop to buy a couple of items that I loved. read more

This store was magical. Loved the outdoor fairy garden. Loved the potpourri. I bought some of the rose sent for my friend and she keeps it in her car and loves it. They also have lovely little special trinkets for the kiddos like stickers and colorful heart stones, or glow in the dark pebbles for your fairy garden. The staff were also very nice to my small children. I will be back to try the herbs, they looked really nice and fresh. There is something special about this store. Don't miss out. read more

I can't decide if I like the inside better or outside! Spellbound Herbs will transport you elsewhere, they offer an assortment of looseleaf teas, candies, charms, and home goods. I love their build your own aromatic scent station with fresh lavender, sage, and so much more. Their staff are super sweet, we got to wander around outside. I love their Pixie Hollow, Alice in Wonderland and Harry Potter imagery and themed decorations. For gifts meant for all ages and interests, this is the place to be! read more

Spellbound Herbs - Beautiful wrapping of my small purchase, with fresh rosemary! - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Cambria, California

Love this place. Herbs, stones, soaps, teas.., and other high energy things. Great assortment and service.

Spellbound is a charming and whimsical little shop that can meet all your witchy needs. They have seeds, herbs, oils and cute little retail items that are great for gifting to someone you know or even to yourself. Staff is friendly and welcoming. They have a beautiful garden out back that is worth having a look at every time we visit. It is their garden, in fact, that inspired me to begin my own whimsical garden. Retail items are fair in price, in my opinion. I've also seen items they carry that I would typically order on Amazon (Zum mist) that they retail at a lower price. I'd say if you buy one thing from Spellbound, purchase their Spellbound essential oil blend. It smells amazing and a little goes a long way. I use it in all the oil burners in my home and stock up every time I visit the shop. Next time you visit Cambria, definitely give Spellbound a visit. read more

What a fabulous shop! I wandered the garden, browsed Knick knacks from seeds to crystals and wind chimes to note cards. I thought the staff were fantastic: friendly, knowledgeable and efficient! I visited during COVID and found their protocols were excellent and they still managed to make me feel connected. I bought a harmonic wind chime (among other things) and it brings me joy with each breeze read more

We stopped in last Sunday with our daughter while jaunting around Morro Bay and Cambria. My time as a customer goes back to when the shop was called Heart's Ease. The house where the books, lotions, potpourri, cards, and more are located may be more rustic now, with sloping wooden floors, and garden spaces continue to evolve. It is always a peaceful and charming place to visit when in the East Village area. You never know what will be growing in the garden. Many unique benches, signs, and accent pieces take residence there, so be sure to wander at a leisurely pace. One of the rooms to pass through on the way to the garden is filled with large jars of potpourri. I found one scent that was so lovely that I scooped a portion to buy. Tied up in a bag with fresh floral accent, it would make a beautiful gift. This time, the gift is coming home with me. :-) It's always a treat to visit Spellbound Herbs and Garden. read more

On the way to lunch, we stumbled upon this lovely herb & gift shop. The shop is housed in one of Cumbria's oldest buildings, which used to be a homestead.

There are numerous handmade soaps, aromatherapy oils, precious stone jewelries, fairy decorations, fragrance enhancers, candles, and a vast selection of herbs you may need for any spell you may have in m Connected to the store is a large enchanted garden that whisks you away, into a fairytale land. It's relaxing, whimsical and beckons you to wander through to enjoy the creative designs of each pocket of garden.

Happened to find a parking spot in front of this place and decided to check it out for kicks. Was pleasantly surprised by the array of different goods available like candles, soaps, potpourri, seeds, etc. Unique selection of teas and spices as well. But the unexpected highlight was their adorable garden in the back. It's spacious and has little sections dedicated to different garden themes, like a fairy wonderland and Alice's Tea House. Was such a thoughtful escape in the middle of town! read more

Super cute and wonderfully enchanting! If you're a fan of gardens, plants, or any fantasy world, this is a perfect little walkthrough. All the different sections of the garden were such a pleasure to walk through. Also, the shop items were adorable!

This is one of my all time most favorite shops ON THIS ENTIRE PLANET! The town of Cambria is our special get-a-way spot that we like to vacation in as much as we can. But this shop alone...OHHH BOY. I can spend HOURS here. From every single detail inside..so many wonderful products to choose from...to the AMAZING garden outside. The place is all around magical, and will be forever cherished...LOVE! read more

I am not a person who is normally in to new age- magic - this sort of store. But I was mesmerized (irony) by this little shop. It had the cutest layout and so many things to look at. I was excited to find the incense (I use) as well as cards and candles. Everything was so cute and reasonably priced. The garden in the back was such a hidden secret garden-- my kid spent 15 min out there exploring. Once I checked out my items which only came to $14 it was packed in this gorgeous bag with lavender. And they included a wand for my little one! I will definitely return when I go to Cambria. read more

I cannot say how much we absolutely loved the shop. I've been coming to Cambria for 30 years. I have never realized it was here. The smells were intoxicatingly cleansing and calming. Everywhere we looked there were unique, Interesting and beautiful things to see. We wandered into the backyard and found this mystical garden shop. I've never seen some of the pieces I saw there. Everywhere I looked I thought "wow, I want that". Everything was reasonably priced which was such a shock for this quaint little town. The owner stayed and helped wrap everything up. She was charming and made us feel grateful that she ran this charming, charming establishment. We will be back Tristan read more

This is "a must stop" every time we visit Cambria. I love this shop. It's raining today and I was sad to see they had to close the backyard because it's slippery- but it's understandable. They have the cutest collection of fairies, lotions, potpourri, lavender, seeds, aprons, garden flags, herbs, garden stuff, candles, collectibles, figurines, just so much more! Today I bought a little house for my fairy garden and a tiny squirrel on a swing. read more

Spellbound Herbs - My Crow and Bat!! We also purchased perfume And the Bag is always with a ribbon and an herb or bloom. - Nurseries & Gardening Near Me - Cambria, California

This place reminds me of an organized, clean version of Berkeley. The smells of the herbs, oils, and nag champa were inviting and soothing. There are so many different hand-made soaps, jewelry, candles, and other trinkets. The shop is in an old historic house and has a lot of character and a great ambiance. I fell in love with the outdoor garden, as there were many Disney and Harry Potter nuances. The organic lavender oil and fresh lavender were bought for me to take a relaxing bath, it was invigorating. I will definitely be back! read more

OMG! The cutest little store! I've been past there so many times and never taken notice of the shops along Burton. We typically stayed on Main Street when in town. Anyway, the other day we walked all along Burton and popped into this little gem of a shop. It smells soooo good inside the store...you can even make your own mix of potpourri! There are different rooms to wander through and an amazing garden area in back. They had Halloween decor on display to help you get your own house decorated! A friend collects mermaids and we saw a number of different mermaid items. Look up when you walk through the rooms...one room had ornaments hanging from the ceiling. Found a cute little sun catcher for my garden. Saw the cutest metal flowers...I wanted three of them for my yard, so maybe next time! read more

This store is full with magically and herb items. I feel like I'm in a fairytale folk tale land. This store has always catch my eyes and every time I go inside so much goodies I see.

SAD Update: I visited Spellbound Herbs just a couple hours after I wrote the first review below. Unfortunately, this is the first time in decades that I have been disappointed in Spellbound Herbs. I'm bummed. . I had a list of items I intended to buy today ... but no luck. In the past, they carried several herbal lotions, soaks & balms for tired feet. Footcare items were previously located on the right side of the store front just as you enter. Today - nothing. It was as if they had no idea what I was talking about. Also, no luck in getting the room freshener spray mist that I have enjoyed for years. Previously, it had been located on the right-hand shelf in the rear of the second room. Today -- nothing. The potpourri looked so fake with it's brightly dyed flowers and leaves sprayed with gold glittery spray paint! . Dollar store potpourri with decent-smelling essential oils. Why oh why?? I'm so disappointed. What happened?? Why the changes in inventory? Original review I've been loving this place for over 35 years. It was formerly called Hearts Ease. I've worn the same scent for decades-- China Musk Oil. Other stores sell China Musk but those don't smell anything like the true China Musk sold here. Every time we pass through Cambria, I always stock up! The sweet old store is consistently adorable and really hasn't changed at all over all these years despite change of ownership once. They have a large selection of everything I love: Artsy things, handmade & imported soaps, lotions, candles, room fresheners, essential oils, jewelry, stationery, books, yard art, flowers/herb/vegetable seeds & garden stuff. ~~~~ One of the main attractions is the potpourri room full of several barrels of glorious potpourri blends -- heavenly! Self serve scoop straight from the barrel into paper bags & weighed at the counter. The service is awesome. Your purchase is ways wrapped up for you, ribbon tied with a sweet sprig of something yummy smelling .. usually lavender. Outside there is a small herb garden with a walking path next to benches, garden statuary and other cute things. I don't think they have many plants for sale - pretty much just the garden artsy stuff. As you can tell, I truly adore this place... and I always have. read more

Tha garden alone is to die for, probably because for me it was completely unexpected. So many recreated fictional places, beautiful fairy gardens, and just dreamy. There were literally butterflies everywhere. Coming from LA, I was totally in love. I wanted to buy something just to support the garden, and a sachet of lavender plus chapstick was pretty cheap. They only accept credit cards if the price was over a certain amount (I think $5 or $10). Such a cute place that I would totally visit again if I'm in the area. read more

Walking to the front door of the cottage of Heart's Ease is what I liken to anticipating a visit with a dear friend. Not that I know the shopkeepers here, despite the number of times I have entered this little house. For now, that's fine; usually, I have been traveling with thoughts on my mind, and I'm in the shop because I am seriously considering to purchase a gift. One of the main reasons I like Heart's Ease is that I can look deeply into the wares while enjoying how the items are displayed. What I see is delightful---it does ease the heart. The soap selection is outstanding. The book collection and cards are always of interest as are the gardening-related items. Over the years, I have purchased herbal starts here, and have been pleased by their presence in my home garden. It is always reassuring to experience an older Californian house and garden cared for so lovingly, and the bonus is that this is a business. Here I can visit unannounced, anonymous, and feel that there's a good chance that I will walk away with something I want. read more

We stumbled upon Spellbound a couple years back, let me just say... I LOVE IT HERE! Their garden has gotten so much more detailed and the themes are so cute. I am obsessed. Plus all the amazing potpourris they have, they smell so delicious! It's such a cute little store with a beautiful little fairy garden. Brought my Dad and his girlfriend here a couple months ago and they're also obsessed. I cannot stress enough how beautiful it is here. So definitely stop by if you're in the area, check it out for yourself. You won't be let down. read more

I adore this shop. I will drive from Atascadero to Cambria just to come and walk/ sit in their beautiful garden that has been designed amazingly. Their whole shop is like a maze that just keep growing the first time you go in, as you walk back, it just keeps going. The garden itself has all sorts of things from different movies that bring you back to childhood and things you enjoy including Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan and the Hobbit as well as plenty of fairy references. The store sells everything from seeds and plants, to tea and sage to bath bombs and candles and plenty in between. Its really something you have to check out for yourself. read more
