“Every time I visit family in California, I persuade them to drive down the coast with the side-quest of getting shampoo bars at Ethos. The Notice Hair Co shampoo and conditioner bars are amazing, leaving hair squeaky clean, soft, and smooth. Now that we live on the East Coast, the carbon-neutral shipping has kept us stocked up. Thank you for introducing us to these fabulous products!”
“Went today. Loved the vibe in the store the lights, stones, woodwork and jewelry were really beautiful, intricate and interesting. The sand art frames were so cool I want one. And a star light. I bought a beautiful amethyst necklace for my mother in law and a really cool mobile art decor for my balcony. I highly recommend and will be back next time im in Santa Cruz. :)”
“Adam was a great help picking the right couch for me and my wife. He didn't preasure us or sway us just clear info and help. The delivery option was early and very professional. I can't recommend this place enough!
Thank you Adam for all of your help! We love our new couch!!”
“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!”
“I recently visited Lumen Gallery and had such a great experience! The selection of jewelry, art, and home goods is beautiful and really unique—there’s something for every taste and style. I ended up finding the perfect gift, but honestly, I wanted to take half the store home with me. The staff was super friendly and helpful without being pushy, and they really know their stuff. It’s a great spot to shop for yourself or find special gifts. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Such a great spot in Santa Cruz! Adore the variety of items they have here. It's the perfect place to treat yourself or find gifts for others. Love that they have mini variety options of some of their staples for gifts. They have a mix of local makers as well here, which is always nice when you want to shop local. Everyone here is always super sweet and they also host events sometimes too which is a blast! Highly recommend!”

“I visited Dig in Santa Cruz yesterday and really enjoyed the beautiful store. One of the staff members helped answer my questions and got me a good price on an item that was on display that was out of stock. She made sure I left with the item I wanted, and honored the quoted price with an additional discount for being an unboxed item. I could have spent all day enjoying their beautifully designed outdoor garden area. I left with some lovely plants, garden decor, and a great customer service experience.”
“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 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've visted the Los Gatos and San Ramon locations and both have great selections and excellent customer service. This is by far my go-to for quality pottery. The variety is amazing. They even have a good size collection of Talavera (my fav)!”
“Came here to pick up a gift for someone special and they did such a beautiful job wrapping it. Very kind and attentive people working, and lots of gifts to choose from. I will definitely be back!”
“I have known redo for a good 5 years. They are the best furniture store in the Bay Area in my opinion. So many cool places have left, but they are still here! They do have consignment: interesting one of a kind furniture pieces, rugs, lighting and art, but also new upholstery and tables. The owners have impeccable taste and the store, although small and eclectic, is an inspiration. The style is contemporary classy, but hip, where vintage meets modern. I drive down from the Berkeley area and it is always worth it. The only problem is that it is hard to choose among such a wonderful selection of items at times. But that's a good problem to have.”
“Where do I begin here? There are so many boxes that this place checks not to mention I don’t have to venture very far to go there. That being said even if I lived in Los Gatos or Campbell I would travel over 17 just to shop at this store. This place has inventory and amazing and varied inventory at that. The aesthetic of the furniture is what I would describe as relaxed sophistication with a modern vibe. Not shopping for furniture? That’s fine, there are many other items such as table and glass ware, candles, beautiful seasonal wreaths, coffee table books, etc to choose from. I love that they carry the locally made Annie Glass and from the Carmel Ceramica as well. Everyone who works here is lovely, engaging, and hospitable-they are content to help you find the right gift or whatever you need!”

“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!”
