Ah Juice Organic Cafe

432 E Haley St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101 (805) 698-1032

Ah Juice Organic Cafe is an old school health food cafe with a ton of great healthy options and a very interesting menu. There seem to be a lot of regulars who came in and called to check specials while I was there, loyalty and community connection that I always take as a great sign. I had their Immunity Matcha house-cashew milk, Host Defense Stamets 7 Mushroom Blend, Organic fresh pressed ginger juice and immune-boosting reishi mushroom powder and sweetened with local organic honey, as well as their gluten free baked item of the day, gluten and sugar free banana bread. All was delicious and nourishing.

Lotus Boutique

637 Chapala Street Santa Barbara

I first stumbled upon Lotus Boutique three years ago while vacationing in Santa Barbara. Everything about it made me immediately fall in love with this sweet boho clothing, jewelry and gift shop. They carry favorite Boho brands like Spell and Cleobella, cool Frye boots, hats, an amazing selection of leather handbags, jewelry made in-house and some other lines, as well as a great selection of candles, tarot and oracle decks and other fun housewares and gifts. Since I was last there, they expanded into the space next door and now also have a lovely space for offering bi weekly sound healings for the community. Check them out online https://thelotusboutique.com and when you are in Santa Barbara, definitely plan to stop in and do some shopping at Lotus Boutique.
