San Diego Luggage
SD Luggage has a great selection of Kipling bags, totes and backpacks. I liked shopping here because its conveniently located and the staff was really helpful.
Crossroads Trading Co
This is a good place to go for consignment, vintage and new pieces. They buy clothes during specific hours and they are really picky. Its good of you're the buyer, but not so easy to sell things. I've found some really good pieces there.
Outside-In Kitchen
This is a great place to get top of the line items for your kitchen. They have tools that you will use again and again. They also have nice and simple kitchen linens and towels.
O'neill
This place has the best sweatshirts. They are fleece lined and so warm. And they carry clothes that everyone can enjoy. Its comfortable and casual clothes for any day of the year.
Tony & Alba's Italian Restaurant
This place is great for delivery. You can get any pizza delivered, but Tony and Alba's delivers lots of other great things. Their salad is amazingly fresh, full of roasted peppers, olives and feta cheese. They also deliver pastas like cheese ravioli in pesto sauce. Their delivery people are very nice too.
Juniper
This is a good place for little sweet things for gifts. They have lots of candles, tea cups and novelty books. Its a fun place to meander through and find what is in there.
Taqueria Vallarta
This taqueria is very fresh and fast. The only thing that I don't like about it is that the food is often soggy. But if you have a craving for mexican food, this will fill the bill.
Hat Co Of Santa Cruz
This store has hats of all shapes and sizes. They have Kentucky Derby style hats, fedoras, cowboys and berets. They will also customize your hat with flowers and ribbons. The only downside is that they do not accept returns.
Salon Tonic
This place carries all the Bumble & Bumble products you could want. I was fairly satisfied with my hair color but the hair wash was amazing. They gave me a great head massage.
Needleworks
This is a great place to go if you like to needle point, crochet or knit, It is a pretty small store, but the staff is knowledgeable and kind. They have yarn from all different sources.
