A nice vintage yet modern store that is 3 stories. Lots of fine quality furniture and vintage clothing and accessories. Moderate to high prices (depending on the item). Definitely worth checking out. read more

This is a hidden gem! There are so many cool finds here. With 3 floors you're bound to find something for yourself or someone you love! The person at the front greeted us with a big smile and was helpful in answering our questions. You can find things from $ all the way to $$$$. So it makes the hunt all the more fun! read more

This place literally is a hidden gem in Santa Barbara. If you're looking for antiques or one of a kind gifts, look no further. I can't believe we've never been inside or even notice this place. Once you walk in, it's like a kid in a candy store if you are into antiques. Not only as the main floor with little pockets of rooms all designed and showcasing amazing pieces. But loads of clothes as well. Upstairs has more of the apparel with little rooms of hidden gems. I think it's mainly antiques/thrifting with some newer pieces all thrown in together. Some items were amazing but a bit pricey. But if you're a vintage furniture enthusiast, this place maybe the right spot for you. The stuff they have as well as the accessories were all beautiful. A designer Mecca. read more

This is a beautiful store where you could spend a lot of time looking at all the items on each of the three floors. I loved a set of chairs they had, but at $3,600, it was a bit much! Always fun to look around though. Service was personable. read more

The Blue Door is truly a amazing gem in the Funk Zone, I can't understand how I drive and walk by this treasure chest so many times and did not notice it. This is a huge old wearhouse with three wooden floors filled with lot's of vintage, antique also collective Items from, vinyl records, antique furniture, artwork, lighting, dishes, jewelry, carpert, watches, dolls, toys, vases, shoes, clothing, purses, houseware, dressers, plus all type of nick-nacks, along with some old playboy magazines. The staff here Megan and Erica were very nice and friendly, so next time you're in the The Funk Zone area stop in here for a trip back down memory lane, also be careful going up the other floors because on the low ceiling. read more

I had such a wonderful experience at this antique store! The selection is unique and full of beautiful pieces that tell a story. The staff was warm, knowledgeable, and made the shopping experience so enjoyable. read more

A very overpriced thrift shop. Walked around it but didn't understand what the draw was! If you're in the area it's fine to check out but wouldn't go out of my way for it. read more

1. 5 Stars for a great place to saunter in and enjoy an eclectic treasure hunt filled with unusual pieces, some vintage clothes/uniforms, classic pieces, unique new items, and antique turn of century items. 2. Abundance: 3 floors... with new pieces coming in regularly, 3. Some well priced items,though i find the antiques a bit pricey (this is relative though as depends how much you are searching for an item. If you find something you have been looking for, then great. If you love the piece great..get it as it can go if you delay). If you find a certain type of piece from a certain time period and are not in a rush, it may be worth looking online (and nearby) too to understand pricing & availability of said similar pieces. 4. Unique ideas for gifts too...so from big to small purchases. read more

Very cool things in the store but the prices are RIDICULOUS!! They have overpriced their items to the Sothoby's level.

I bought a bronze shoe and a little pony express golden wagon for my vintage bookshelf accessories. There's a lot to look at, and most of it is rather thrilling if you love old things with history to their travels. The old books are severely overpriced. Not even notable authors usually and $48 just because it's old. Kind of not cool. Great spot after morning coffee to peruse for awhile and I always try to support small business. read more

This is a gem of antiques you'd actually use. High end, quality mid-century furniture. Jewelry, Nick-nacks...great store...go all the way up....third floor beautiful sun filled. love it Nice ladies pleasant, welcoming space. read more

Items were a bit on the pricey side. But it was a nice collection & I ended up buying a beautiful, vintage, Santorini patio set. I had seen this same set in Portland, about 4 years ago but thought that was too long a distance to bring it home. So glad I found it again! With cushions too! I hear Oprah shops here! Stop by, you never know what you're gonna see! read more

FELL IN LOVE IMMEDIATELY. As soon as I walked past it, I had to back track and go in. Curated vintage finds-- 3 floors of it! A mix of everything, and although it's different vendors, it all flows. It's a bit on the spendy side, but I dare you to try and not find something you want here. For me, it was an awesome shag sweater/coat--there were two of them, lucky for me, the first one I found was a tad less $$ than the second one, which made me feel like I HAD to get it. Be forewarned, you will not leave this place empty handed. read more

This is such a great furniture consignment store! They have stuff from every decade and everything is in great condition! Prices are a bit high but considering that you won't find this stuff elsewhere it's well worth it. Hard to find originals, so many things I would furnish my home with if I lived closer. Highly recommended! read more

Definitely more of a high end boutique. It's cute, but more house ware relared. Not really a good place to hunt Antiques for cheap.

A total treasure of a store in the heart of the funk zone! This building is very nondescript from the front and if the "blue door" wasn't open, it'd be another place you'd just walk by. Totally feels like a speakeasy sort of spot. The Blue Door is so very carefully curated and feels more like a beautiful time capsule of a museum than a consignment shop. The merchandise appears to be hand-picked and is all of utmost quality. The building has three floors (the second floor has a low ceiling and wonderfully creaky wood flooring) with each displaying their own collection of treasures. The merchandise is largely mid century and offers something for even the most discerning of tastes. I came here the other day to redeem a gift card for my birthday and ended up purchasing a beautiful crystal decanter for my home bar. It's almost too nice to fill up with my whiskey, but still functional enough to serve its purpose. I picked up the gift card from the front cash register and found the ladies behind the counter to be friendly and polite. Very cool place to explore. I will most definitely be back. read more

What a fantastic gem of a shop located in the Funk Zone in Santa Barbara. A stones throw from amazing bars and restaurants. The Blue Door Features 3 levels of vintage furniture, art, lighting, accessories and vintage clothing too! The selection is very impressive and beautifully curated! What's especially comforting is their mask wearing and social distancing guidelines so you can shop with full confidence. And the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the products. I especially loved the Mid Century treasures mixed in with industrial. So many statement pieces you can't find just anywhere. Thanks for being open during this challenging time. And thanks for arranging shipping so effortlessly! read more

Okay WHAT A HIDDEN GEM this place is gorgeous and I could honestly have spent hours in there. Each section is curated by a different vendor, some of whom truly have an eye for art, furnishings, knick knacks, clothing, and dishes. read more

I LOVE all things vintage and the Blue Door did not disappoint! I love taking a trip down memory lane, along with pieces of history proudly displayed and even ready to purchase if I so choose. The staff was very kind and the store had many unique objects! Make sure to check out the full size wicker motorcycle next time you pass by! Guaranteed to make ya smile in awe and wonder how long THAT took to create! read more

It's all really nice to look at, but dang, it's all so expensive for what's used, repurposed and vintage stuff. Glad I'm under 6 feet tall on that second floor, and the third floor is worth rhe few more steps. Def not for the frail or elderly. Nice folks at the front counter. read more

I bought a beautiful mid-century floor lamp from The Blue Door last week, but upon getting it home to northern California, found that it didn't work. I originally saw the lamp during a quick after-lunch browse with some work colleagues. I asked a salesperson if the lamp worked. I was told yes, and the salesperson offered to test it. When you're surrounded by colleagues who are ready to get back to the office, it isn't a convenient time to test a lamp, so I declined. When I returned to buy the lamp a couple of days later, the salesperson didn't offer to test it--something that I've since been told is store policy. And I didn't bother to ask, since I'd previously been told the lamp worked. Since last week, my wife and I have corresponded with the store a couple of times, and each time, they tried to shift the blame to me--insinuating, for example, that I didn't secure it in my car. (As it happens, the salesperson loaded it for me.) A simple, "Wow, we're sorry and we'll make sure we test every outgoing lamp from now on" would have earned them another star. But blaming a customer because a product is broken? Not cool. Advice to customers: Test anything electric before buying. read more

I love the name of this new vintage store located in the Funk Zone, Santa Barbara. What is waiting for you behind that blue door? It could be a mystery. You can unlock it by opening the blue door and by checking the store out. It's a big (it takes up 3 floors) store, full of cool vintage, antique items, one of a kind. The place is clean, well organized, not the dusty, cluttered type. They do have cool paintings, furniture, lamps, so if you're looking for unique, interesting things for your house, this place is worth checking. Nothing is cheap here, but the condition of the items they sell is good and a lot of items are more unique. I enjoyed passing behind the Blue Door and discovering what's inside. read more

World of wonders! Fun eclectic mix of treasures here. Staff is easy going. Whenever I'm in the area I have to do a walk through!

The Blue Door is paradise for your eyes. So much to see and admire! Mostly everything was way out of my pocket range (for example, a small vintage le Creuset Dutch oven will set you back $150 and a vintage bowl like a salad bowl is $70) but that didn't stop me from oogling and dreaming of the day I can fill my home with these beautiful antiques. There are 3 floors to admire, but the first floor has the most amount of goodies and furniture. There are also unique jewelry finds if you're looking for to gift a friend or yourself. I think the Blue Door is a gathering of different vendors under one room which makes it especially fun to discover something new. This vintage shop is located in the Funk Zone and a must visit if you're in the area! read more

Hi I've bee shopping the Blue Door for years and like the wide variety of styles and the good ratio of large items to small. It 's a good size and can breath with the large open doors a lot on natural light in the bottom floor. Upstairs 3rd floor is a large Danish modern section my favorite and it has vintage pieces in pristine condition. They art on the walls is a like being in a gallery and they always have a few conversational pieces you would never buy but enjoy seeing something different and unusual. read more

I went to The Blue Door for the first time a few weeks ago. It's a really beautifully curated shop, with a wide range of small and big items, accordingly with some being on the expensive end (rightfully so for large, classic furniture pieces) but also a lot of very reasonably priced smaller items. I got a set of 4 vintage green tinted glasses for $30, and it was a hard choice among a lot of other beautiful glass sets with similar pricing. Later I ended up calling and buying a vintage sauce pot that we had seen. Spenser was so sweet and helpful with emailing me pictures to make sure it was the right one, and shipping it to me. Packaging was solid and it arrived in solid shape! Definitely a cute shop to at least pop into and look around! read more

Just came in today, bought a ceramic pot and had the best experience with Carly! Would definitely recommend buying your home decor here.

On a walk through the Funk Zone I couldn't help but take a peek inside. This place is filled with some very neat antiques. They have bowls and cookware, vintage clothing, furniture, art, picture frames, housewares, jewelry, etc. Make sure to check out the whole place because there is more than one floor. This is definitely a well-curated antique store. Don't expect shelves overflowing with trinkets, bargain finds, items you can buy cheap and bring back to life, or racks of vintage clothing to sort through before you find a gem. They already did the work finding the good stuff for you, so to me this shop is more a place to browse and find a unique item in great condition. Note for pet owners: I was here with a group and our dog, and while we didn't try to go inside with our pet they didn't mention anything like "come on in!" so I think given the breakable nature of lots of their items dogs may not be allowed. read more

We were looking for a Buffet to put it in our living room. We like much vintage and mid century furniture style. And found this amazing buffet at the blue door. The only place at SB for these offer. You feel like to be in an antic store such as "Les puces" of Paris. The owners are very nice and professional. Delivery on time and fast. Highly recommended ! Pierre and Nelly read more

This place is LEGIT!!!! So many cool treasures - unique and in great condition! I wish we had a place like this in Arizona!

Stars are for the store itself and the people that work there. 4 instead of 5 because the prices are high for some things. That being said, I still highly recommend this cool shop. It is very well set up and easy to navigate/browse. More often than not, I find something I want when I go here. Unique items of all kinds from various eras (including some new things from local artists). read more

An absolute GEM in Santa Barbara. I love the way it's decorated and the owners are REALLY nice. They are almost always there, very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Amazing three stories, each with a totally different vibe. They must be really picky because I've been some other collectives recently and none even compare. Their prices are a little up there, but because the items are hard to find, rare, or just plain coo sol they can ask more. Every time I go in there are lots of shoppers making purchases so they aren't asking outrageous prices or anything like that. I've seen things that were way under priced for what they were. Speaking as an antique dealer and an owner of an antique shop this place really owns the central coast as far as cool shops. read more

I visited this store a few weeks ago. When I decided to purchase something from this store, I was not sure if I have time to drive back there. I called the store and asked several questions. Sara was so friendly and professional. She gave me the all answers with the best way. The price is very reasonable. I definitely go back to visit this store whenever I have a chance to go to Santa Barabara. read more

Antique places seem to come and go, so I hope this one stays for a long time. Very well laid out, mostly in the semi modernist vibe...but with some older/exotics as well. Good price points, we came to get Christmas presents and found several perfect items. Three floors (bottom one's the best, but the second is quite good also), parking in the back - the neighborhood's quite popular, so you could do wine tasting afterwards. read more
