"Chill little health store in downtown Carpinteria. You can find a myriad of natural, organic, eco-friendly foodstuffs and household products. Very fun to stroll around and check out their wares, lots of funky hidden gems. If you're in Carpinteria for the farmer's market, peek in here before or after, might find some cool stuff to accompany your market produce. When you enter, there is a little produce/bakery stand. The bread seems to be made here and it's pretty good, I'd recommend a try. I had a small bread roll and it was excellent on it's own and with cheese. Flavorful and salty even when plain, you definitely don't need butter! Perfect bread to pair with tomatoes or something from a farmer's market haul on Thursdays. I hope to try it next time with (1 some honey and (2 cream cheese and lox/sprouts/tomato/red onion... yum... : There was a pretty decent selection in grocery items like milk (including milk alternatives , yogurt, ice cream/ice cream bars, and some meats (frozen and refrigerated . There were also lots of baking supplies and TEAS! Huge variety of herbal teas. The chocolate selection was pretty interesting as well with lots of unique flavor combos. Most seemed to be fair trade/organic so that was nice to see. Also there were quite a few local products e.g. honey which was great to see as well! They had quite a large selection of natural/organic/eco-friendly baby stuff, beauty products, and household items/cleaners. Good variety among the products as well, so you could select from multiple different natural laundry detergents, etc. They have a hefty selection of shampoos and conditioners that seem very hair-friendly. Card is accepted here and there doesn't seem to be a minimum. There was also a smoothie station in the back and some bulk produce items e.g. grains, nuts, beans. Definitely will check this place out again! It can be a fairly quick ~20 minute drive from SB so it's work a peek if you're interested in health foods/natural groceries."
