“Tim and Dedra are so amazing and wonderful, they are incredibly polite and helpful. They helped us find the perfect dining table after months of looking and even helped us decorate the table and assisted with delivery and the orientation in our home. We will continue going back for all our home needs.”
“Knowledgeable sales people, no pressure sales model - I felt heard and respected and given the time and information I needed to buy what was right for me.
Super high quality, comfortable, durable, non toxic beds and furniture that lasts so long I can hand it down.”
“I saw a partial set of Pyrex that I needed to complete my set and Jamie had what I needed...she gave me a great deal and I got to see her awesome shop! worth a visit...good vibes and nice things.”
“Want furniture? Like great value and service with a smile? Here’s a great store to check out. My wife loves to look endlessly for the right chair, table, or couch—ad infinitum! She discovered this gem, and now it’s on the top of her “go to” list when she needs (mostly wants!) to redecorate a room. We’ve bought all three (chair, table, and two couches) so far from this shop. And each one has been a good value and pleasant experience—the latter even tasty—they serve a bowl of delicious candies at their back counter. I like sitting in their chairs while my wife shops and talking to the new owner who loves to talk baseball with a friendly smile—though he’s not in love with my favorite team.”
“Such a fabulous shop. I have bought in person and online - they are so kind, helpful and patient. Thank you so much for carrying such beautiful things and sharing them with the world!”
“IronHorse rules! Super smooth consulative process. Adam is the man. Helped us find exactly what we were looking for. Purchasing a custom sofa can be nerve-wracking, but not here. We got thoughtful updates throughout the build and ship process. Delivery was a breeze. Highly recommend this team. Couldn't be happier. Go IronHorse!”
“I love this shop! They always curate the cutest and unique items. I love shopping at Home/Work for gifts for others (and myself). The staff are very helpful but they don’t hover which I appreciate. I also love the pop up events they do as well as fundraisers for local schools/agencies.”
“Daniel and Michael were very helpful and kind. We bought several items here over the years and have been very satisfied. They even helped with some tools when our vehicle wouldn’t start. Daniel lent us his car to get an auto part. Talk about over helpful. I can’t say enough about. Thank you!”

“Finally made it into Ethos today after hearing about it from friends for years. This place is gorgeous, well-curated & inspiring. The front of shop is stocked with fun stuff like penguin dryer balls, fetching lunch boxes and fabric napkins. The back of shop is where the true magic happened for me tho. I have a dream of transitioning my family to plastic-free beauty/ hygiene routines and this place might just make it possible. High quality steel razors with replaceable blades, floss in bamboo canisters and of course, the REFILLERY. I started simply with shampoo/ conditioner, a face serum and some SPF face cream, all in glass or aluminum containers. The 2 rad young ladies working today were a huge help as I figured out how to use their system. So grateful for this inspiring, beautiful little store! She packs a mighty punch.”

“Zen Island is a must when in Capitola! They have everything and anything for your home and stylish wardrobe. NOT to mention it’s the perfect place for finding that special gift from humorous to one of a kind.”
“Botanic & Luxe is such a lovely spot. I love stopping by whenever I’m in downtown Santa Cruz. The staff is always so friendly, and the shop has a gorgeous selection of locally made art — prints, paintings, pottery, candles, and so much more. The aesthetic of the store is stunning, and it always smells amazing. It’s one of my favorite places to pick up a thoughtful gift.
I also really appreciate how the staff wraps purchases so beautifully — it adds such a sweet touch. I recently visited with my mom after we stopped by a craft fair happening downtown. She had bought some perfumes from one of the vendors and accidentally left the bag behind when we were browsing in Botanic & Luxe. After we left, she realized it was missing. We called the store, and at first the woman working (I believe her name was Heather) didn’t see it, but she took the time to look again and even called me back to let me know she’d found the small bag. We went back and picked it up without any issues.
Overall, the customer service here is incredible, and the shop itself is a true hidden gem full of quality items. Please shop local and support small women-owned businesses — places like this deserve it!”
“Happened to pass this store on my was to get coffee. So glad we doubled back to check it out. Lots of unique art and gifts. Some crystals and wiccan supplies/books. This will definitely be a store we stop in every time we're in Santa Cruz.”

“I ordered a walnut bench that was damaged in delivery. I am so pleased with the response from Illuminée. They promptly responded and arranged to ship a new one. Wonderful customer service. The bench is beautiful and I will definitely purchase from them in the future.”
“Great experience with this tile/cabinet store.An amazing selection of just remarkable and “ unique “ design.. Made our bathroom remodel just the most amazing looking Italian tile that most places don’t carry.Their staff and owner are typical Santa Cruzians that just want to help- I learned so much and can’t wait to start another project. Thanks Olivia and Chris??”
“I’ve never walked into a more gorgeous store. Smelled amazing, friendly service, deep inventory, so much quality. Speaking of friendly service, so happy to chatted with Lashaundhra (sorry if misspelled)! Sometimes you’re looking for something but don’t know what- they recommend a plant I didn’t know I would love lol. Absolute garden star! My thumb is already greener 😎”
“Pueblo Viejo is a beautiful shop in Capitola. And I do mean beautiful... like an art gallery. If you love Mexican handicrafts, pottery, furniture, artwork and jewelry you will love this store. I was especially impressed with the mirrors framed in hammered silver. Here you will find unique gift items as well as home decor. Parking is on the street or in a nearby lot.”

“Beautiful, semi-hidden little shop on 41st Ave, not far from Portola. Exquisite little finds for the home, including a handmade pillows and lovely glassware. A lovely woman showed me around and told me about the items. I honestly wish I had the money and space to buy lots of goodies in there delightful smelling lotion. If you're out on 41st avenue, don't miss this special little shop.”
“Great store with tons of options! This location has quite a lot of furniture and lighting, and they're all very well priced and seem to be good quality. On top of the furniture, they have a ton of fun foods and drinks at the back, mostly all imported from around the world. It's a great option to get something that you've never tried before, had once on vacation and have been craving since, or just for your fix of goodies. The staff are friendly, and the store is well maintained.”
“I highly recommend San Lorenzo Lumber – Felton to anyone looking for a company who offers quality top brand materials for building needs! Specifically, I contacted the Felton San Lorenzo Lumber store for guidance and tips for my new rebuild after losing my home to the 2020 CZU Lightning Fire. And, upon contacting this specific store, I was introduced to Shannyn “Shay” Moore…such a beautiful and kind spirit! Shay has literally held my hand through the process of finding the right decking and handrail materials. What I can honestly say about Shay is that I love her positive attitude…she is not only no-nonsense, but she has a undeniable knack for knowing how to meet your needs without added stress and anxiety. The ideas, guidance, and tips that she provided me has been exceptional! Shay really goes the extra mile! And, by the way, the Felton San Lorenzo Lumber store will deliver your materials and products! You will be lucky to have “Tim” deliver your materials/products; he is so personable, kind, knowledgeable, and friendly – which made this so overwhelming rebuild process so much less stressful. Happily, I can say that this entire process resulted in receiving the personal attention that I have so much appreciated and required! Thank you, Felton San Lorenzo Lumber…Keep up the excellent customer service and provision of quality materials and products!!! So grateful!”

“The products in this Artisan Store are an agency of handmade expressions of great value--multiple assortments of artisan items. I have purchased numerous gifts, hand-formed jewelry, cards, delectables, fine art, and printed graphic art. Items for children to adults grace this well-lit, handcrafted, unique, bespoke, or custom-made location. The value is in the hands of the beholder!!”

“I like Ross. Having said that, I'm a big guy and I rarely can find shirts in my size that I like (3X or 4X). But when stuff I like is in stock, it's all good and you can't beat the prices.”
“I cannot rave enough about this store! They happened to have a Jellycat Maffles Manatee for a reasonable price on their website and Dedra was so kind and answered all my questions and went above and beyond! I am thrilled with my purchase and have recommended it to quite a few people! Thank you so much! I love him!!!”
