I had no idea this place existed until my son brought it to my attention. I'm so glad he did!…read more This store is a sports consignment that also sells vintage clothing such as graphic tees, artist tees, and hats. You can also find basketball jerseys, football, soccer and baseball. I mainly came here to sell 3 football jerseys that I had originally planned to giveaway to goodwill, but after my son told me he sold his Air Jordan jacket here; well it was a no brainer to bring the jersey's here to sell. I honestly don't have a clue as to how much the jerseys would of sold for online and I didn't care to research it, but I will say the price I sold them for was reasonable. In todays economy anything helps! Plus I felt good helping a local store make their profit and being able to add the jerseys to their store so they could be sold. Overall, a great local sports consignment to check out that has a cool vibe inside. I'll definitely be back!

A lot of good pieces...vintage ..you found some Jordans shoes and Nike .for a good price......read more

That wasn't possible with my schedule, and I'm not spending $170. on boots I can't return for refund if they hurt my feet after wearing them for a while in my home. No amount of walking in the store reassures me. So I bought the same boots elsewhere with a 30 day return policy.

This store could not be more targeted to my demographic. We make enough money to buy what we want and this store has the best items. Thule racks, Patagonia, Vuori, etc. Knives, axes, jackets, ski boots, flasks. Everything every man could ever want. I bought a Patagonia jacket and some stuff for my son. My kids, my wife, even my 80 year old parents spent 30 minutes and $300+ dollars in here. It's a fantastic store. It's a bit of an interesting location being next to the beach but if I lived in Santa Barbara I'd be here once a month. Most Staff were friendly, some were young and not too social but helpful. Come here. Love here.

Very impressed! Great customer service. Wonderful selection of quality shoes and gear.read more

My grandson got a pair of goalee gloves in a secret santa exchange at his school about 3 weeks ago,…read moreand when he opened the package, one of the fingers looked like it had a smudge on it.That in itself wouldn't have been a big deal if they had fit his hands. They were too small, so I took him back to the store they came from and since they were opened and had a smudge (No bigger than a fingernail tip mind you) the woman behind the counter refused to take them back..even for an exchange. It was one of those things that would make a person never want to go there again. I felt bad for my grandson. I realize the cashier was probably just following company policy, but I felt like the 'policy' should change a little to keep a customer who would potentially come back in again and again. (my little soccer player is only 12) Along with that, their prices are way higher than the other soccer and sport stores in the area. Bottom line: I would not buy anything from this store again.

Could hardly believe so I went to the register and sales person did a confirmation price check. It is also their online price. No emergency so at that price, I'll wait. Went home and found same part on Amazon at 2 pieces for $14.99, or $7.50 per (see attached pics). I understand the need to support local brick and mortar retail and also am willing to pay a small premium for the convenience of obtaining a needed item "right now". However, this mark-up is straight up consumer gauging. Sure, they have every right to charge what they wish, but this doesn't work for me. How about you?

Of all the souvenir shops on State Street, I HIGHLY recommend Only In Santa Barbara as your go-to…read moreshop. Okay, so I might be a little bias because I found a keychain with my name on it (which almost NEVER happens. Melanie and Melinda are the lucky ones). As a matter of fact, when I told the cashier that I was excited about the rare find, he walked away from me to bring me back the bike plate with my name on it. I squealed in excitement and he asked, "Would you like the bike plate too?" This tells me he wasn't selling me the product, he wanted to SHOW me another product with my namesake. Positive customer experience, the staff knows their products and store, and UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara) clothes. I checked every souvenir shop from top (away from the beach) of State Street down to 'Only in Santa Barbara' (towards the beach) searching for a Santa Barbara ornament that best represented my vacation. I found it here. Basically, if you want a Santa Barbara souvenir, find it here.

Imaging my surprised when I came here to get another pair's seam repaired and they told me that they no longer offer this service. The excuse was sometimes the fabric is too worn for repair, which doesn't apply here as my pants are still in good shape, only some of the stitches have come loose at the seam. The quality guarantee distinguishes Lululemon from competitors like Beyond Yoga and Vuori, but now there is no reason to pick Lululemon over the other brands.
