Mācher in Goleta, on Calle Real between Fairview and Patterson, is super cute. Easy and free parking, lunch at Nikka Ramen, groceries at TJs… even if you can’t find a great gift, the atmosphere is a gift in itself for the shopper!
Mācher and Field Trip are two of my favorite shops in town. Both have unique and sustainable finds!
