“When I am bicycling through Old Town, I always get a surge of glee when I see that SB Gift Basket is open for walk-up shoppers. I'm sure you can do business with them without ever visiting their charming workshop (which was once a blacksmith operation beore all of us were born.) The atmosphere in this shop is welcoming! They have the world's best parking for bicycles, but those using a car have some additional parking now that Hollister has been redesigned. So don't let parking problems hold you back from a great experience. With OAT bakery across the street, you can have an experience that I find to eclipse the charm of the Funk Zone. More and more, I am enjoying all of the charming businesses in Old Town. And this shop is clearly the most charming of them all.”
“New owners. Prior reviews are not consistent with the stores current status. I stop here every day and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Prices are competitive with any other stores in town. And the selection is top- notch!!!”
“Unbelievable experience! I came in to purchase alcohol for my upcoming wedding. Walter was incredible where he helped me find every single item (I had about 100 items purchased) and even helped me find alternatives to what I needed. I could not be more grateful for this experience. Thank you!”
“Always a few cents more than the location near the Ralph's which is a bummer. On the plus side the staff here in the afternoons/evenings are friendly. Easy to get a car wash!”
“I stopped in here for on 5/15/2025 at 5:17 PM on my way to a concert. Had a little headache, needed a couple Ibuprofen. They had the little 2 dose travel size, exactly what I needed. More importantly though, the young man at the counter was SUPER nice. He had a little something personal and authentically engaging to say to every single customer he interacted with. Thank you!!!”
“Favorite liquor store in Isla Vista. Great prices and great selection of micro-brewery beers and ales. Way better prices than anywhere in Goleta or Santa Barbara.”
“I’ve been going to this store for the past 6 years now and I love it! I’m not sure what all the hate is about. I will continue you to come here for a very long time”
“My favorite liquor store in Old Town Goleta! They got different varieties of alcohol plus they sell brand new Pro Clubs got short sleeves and long sleeves too💯👌🏽”
