Chocolate Opulence

apparently is going into the space last occupied by one of those paint yourself ceramics places in Paseo Nuevo right across from Rudy's. Well...according to a sign in the window. The mall is looking pretty, well, "bleak" of late.

WhoDidily Cupcakes coming to downtown Santa Barbara

WhoDidily cupcakes of Montecito is taking their baking racks on the road and opening up a new storefront in Paseo Nuevo, in the space where the departed Cheese Shop was.

WhoDidily has gotten lots of press in the past couple of years. They were featured on FoodNetwork's Cupcake Wars last year. Then before that, they had a little legal rumble with the 800lb gorilla of the cupcake world, Sprinkles. (That was when WhoDidily was known as Sprinkled Pink Cupcake Couture.)




The local cupcake batter battle gets a little heated. We'll see how the crumbs settle with Crushcakes and Bella Dolce seeing new competition in their midst.

Viva Oliva opening up in Paseo Nuevo

An olive oil shop, looking a bit too similar to Il Fustino (complete with stainless steel fustis) is opening up in Paseo Nuevo. They are still under construction, but I managed to get a peek through the butcher paper covering the windows.

Happy 95th!

















Jordano's!


I miss your grocery store in 5-Points and I definitely miss the kitchen gadget store on Carrillo...Chapala...DeLaVina!

In 1915, four Jordano brothers opened a small market in Santa Barbara. More store openings soon followed, and by the 1950s the family-owned business was operating the first chain of supermarkets on the Central Coast. Jordano's stores were known for high quality products, innovative merchandising, and superior customer service. The company grew to become the area's largest wholesale distributor of foodand beverages, and one of the 50 largest companies of its kind in the United States.

Today, Jordano's is still family and employee owned, very proud of its Santa
Barbara heritage, and committed to supporting the local community.

Clean up on aisle 5


You think they meant "Rejoice?"

Does Pottery Barn want certain women to urinate in their store or did they mean to spell out "Rejoice" and ran out of letters or something....
