And the sandwiches are made on Levain bread so you know it's good. The roast beef was delicious as well.

This is a cafe and a home goods store that features a curated selection of goods such as fine china, gourmet food, candles, cookbooks, garden supplies and much more. Everything is unique and carefully curated. I had to walk through the store twice to be able to see it all. I did end up buying an ice cream scoop, salt and pepper grinder sea salt from Italy an olive oil and a cheese knife. So many things to look at. Just amazing ....customer service is helpful and friendly. There is something for everyone here. From a bottle of $ vinegar to a $$$$ Italian china ... The food is delicious here. We ordered sandwiches, scones and coffee and enjoyed every bite at the cozy patio outside by the water feature surrounded with trees and plants. This place is cozy, trendy and beautiful. A must stop when in the area.

Home Crush has officially moved from Summerland to Santa Barbara on Islay Street, and their new…read morespace is absolutely charming. They've relocated into their own design studio, which feels like a sweet little house tucked just off State Street--warm, inspiring, and beautifully styled. They continue to host wonderful pop-ups featuring everything from jewelry and gluten-free bread to local and far-away artists, often with a strong focus on supporting women-owned businesses. It's always changing and always fun. Inside you'll find unique foods, beautiful antiques, special finds, and gorgeous pieces for the home. They also offer home design services--and judging by their space alone, they clearly get it right. Just look at the stunning Roman drapes hanging in the windows... swoon. This is a very special little spot. Definitely get on their mailing list to stay in the loop on pop-ups and events. I recently loved their lifestyle and equestrian-style clothing pop-up. Check their business card for the exact address--see photo. it's a place you'll want to return to again and again.

This shop is converted from a charming house into a home decor store - located on a small hill with views of the ocean. I don't know many stores that 1. Have water views and 2. Are converted from a few million dollar home into a little shop. If for nothing else I come here for the views from the former main front living room because the view of the ocean and street you get is insanely gorgeous. Love that each room in this former house showcases all of her cute goods and items. They also have an outdoor patio which is lovely to sit to take a break from shopping. The owner / manager has been here everytime I come and she's so lovely. Always very welcoming and attentive. She's kind and helpful. I love the customer service here. According to the owner they will likely be closing for a few months because of some road work so I'd recommend coming now because a lot of the home goods and wears were discounted. They clearly are trying to move inventory if they know they'll be closing up shop for a little bit. Over the years I've always found nice little goodies here. For example a few months ago I purchased these beautiful artisan crackers for my charcuterie board. The crackers were pressed with edible flowers and were visually stunning! I received so many compliments on them because they totally made my appetizer plate. Also another item I've purchased here was a black leather foldable tissue box holder. It shows the variety of items they sell here. The reason I docked a star is just because this shop is significantly out of my price range. More power to them that they can make sales and have regular returning customers. Technically I am a returning customer but for smaller well priced items. For me this spot is out of my price range and it's hard to find things I like sometimes. That's more just for me but worth noting as some items do have a hefty price tag.

Over several days I engaged in 3 conversations with a Cabana salesperson. She recommended their house brand (Matouk) and assured me Matouk was a "best seller" and "Cabana carried nothing but the best". Over subsequent conversations it was clear that the salesperson could not answer basic questions such as "why is Matouk your best seller?" I prompted her to discuss thread counts and cotton types, but she was mostly stumped. She eventually admitted that she never used a Matouk product. I had the impression that she had never used a fine linen product. I eventually found a sell on the Internet with a tremendous amount of knowledge that made me feel safe in my decision. I also felt like I learned something, other than what is the "best seller". I spent 15 minutes on the phone with an expert and made the decision....that was a savings when you consider I got nowhere with Cabana in over an hour of discussions and research. I spent slightly more, approximately $1000, on the Internet than I would have spent at Cabana, but for my 12th anniversary I needed to be 100% certain that I would not be disappointed. I also felt better telling my partner all about the type of cotton, thread count, etc., rather than simply saying "happy anniversary, the Sales person told me it is there best seller".

When the kids…read morewere little years back, the original seat fabric got all stained and nasty with milk, etc. We went to an undisclosed interior design place and replaced the fabric with marine grade vinyl and thick padding. The result was horrendous. The vinyl was tucked, unprofessionally with big seams/creases at the corners, like a do it yourself job. We didn't care at the time - as long as it held up for the next 10 years, we were good. Come 2020 and that vinyl is getting annoying. Our butts stick to them, the chairs noticeably look bad relative to the rest of our furnishing, and most importantly, the kids aren't leaving have half their food on the seats. Santa Barbara Design Center has been here for a while and I stopped in randomly on the way to Home Improvement. I was introduced to Michael, a knowledgeable and personable chap. I showed him an online picture of the original chair, and that I wanted to restore the seat to its original, sleek, sculptural and refined splendor. He said no problem, provided a couple of premium quality fabric books, and we were on our way. We picked out the fabric and brought the chairs in. Michael commented "my god, who did this work?" 50% down and ten days later, chairs were done, with a message "come down and make sure you are happy." My wife and I looked, were pleased - Michael responded with "here's something that bothers me, I want you to see..." He flipped the chair over and on the bottom, the seat fabric was stapled just outside of the underside frame. You wouldn't see it normally, but from a distance or looking down from the side, you might. Immediately we thought the same thing, yeah, that's not ideal. He said it shouldn't be done like this, let me redo it for you, no charge. His upholsterer redid it, and boy those 8 chairs look great, almost better than the original! The seats came out sleek and wonderfully curved over the underlying pad. The fabric is comfortable, soft and elegant - couldn't be happier. The interior of SBDC fills a warehouse space and contains just about everything; furniture, rugs, lamps, etc. The staff were COVID compliant, and Michael was a dream to work with. He has an excellent eye for detail, is easy to work with, and is an honest broker; I wish we had more projects for him!
