I cannot stand the silverware. The forks and knives are artsy in style that are really hard to manipulate, especially for a left hander. The food is great, but the cutlery is annoying. :-)

This is the place to satisfy your sweet sweet chocolate cravings. Be it sipping chocolate or truffles or croissants or mochas! This is an indulgence you don't want to miss. Highly recommend the mocha and love the comfy couches. Would probably benefit from more seating but it is a pretty small space so I'm not sure how that would work. Apparently beer and wine to come! Sweet!

One for behind the counter and one to actually see what the kids are doing going through the bins. Seriously who lets their kids decide to take items they've touched and possibly slobbered on already put it back in the self serve bins. Sorry parents but if you decide it's too much candy they buy it and handle it and not have your kids put it back. Since going in July I've been back to Capitola as a favorite summer place but will not go back to the candy store or recommend.

While visiting Santa Cruz, we were about to leave to go back home when we decided to get a snack to go. We stumbled upon Pacific Cookie Company and WOW. What can I say?? This might be one of my top ten places to visit! Cookies are truly amazing and have that homemade taste & flavor. I tried a few different cookies and cannot tell you which one I loved best - either chocolate chip with walnuts or the snickerdoodle! I cannot wait to come back. I may even drive back just to for the cookies! Staff and cookies are great and the store is spotless. Highly recommend.

This might be ok for little kids who like super-sweet stuff, but it's cloyingly sweet for anyone over the age of 18. 2: The chocolate bombe uses very mild milk chocolate mousse. It is lacking the intense bitter chocolate flavor and complexity that I'm looking for. 2: Tiramisu: The espresso layer is too mushy.
