One of the main reasons I come to Santa Cruz is bc of Berdels. I LOVE IT SOOO MUCH!!! The clothing…read moreis just the best beach / ocean vibe, can't find anything like it anywhere else!!!! The quality of all the clothing items is so good. I've washed my Katin shirts so many times, and they're still like new. My mom and I love going here bc they have the coolest water design shirts, perfect for my brother who owns a dive shop. He always gets complimented on the clothes we get from here! I also love how it is a family owned locally owned business!!! What could be better?! The service is always so nice when we check out, the people will always give us recs to go too. There is a large variety of brands from well known to ones I've only seen here at Berdels. The price of the clothing is comparable to other stores. This is a must when in downtown Santa Cruz!! You have to get a Berdels sweatshirt to really say you were at Santa Cruz!!

Hands down my favorite shop in the village! Kat hosted a sip & shop for us and we had the absolute…read morebest time. She went above and beyond to spoil us, and now we're all dripping head to toe in Katalina merchandise Such a fun, welcoming atmosphere with the cutest pieces. Can't recommend this shop enough!!

Spent the weekend in Capitola and was in the Village browsing the shops. Walked into Katalina's and…read moreimmedately loved the vibe. Music playing from the next spot, it has a courtyard type area outside the door and shares the building with a wine/beer shop. Kat welcomed us in, offered a drink and was just right amount of assistance for us. Lots of cute clothing for all women's sizes, including plus size. There is also an assortment of men's and children's clothing. Found a great pair of jeans that were long enough for my 6' frame. And found a cute pair of beach shorts as I forgot to bring something to wear to the beach. They have a range of prices to meet every budget. I loved everything about this shop. Kat was amazing and fun and welcoming. It was a great overall experience and I will definately be stopping in next time I am in the area. Oh ya! You can shop online as well!

I like to order for in-store pick up online to make shopping with kids a little bit faster. Tricia is often in the store, and is a great employee that provides excellent customer service and recommendations.

Located on the main downtown drag of Santa Cruz. I'm a Gap fan, kind of embarrassed to admit it,…read morebut I'm now at that age, where I enjoy simple clean looking clothes. The only time I'll purchase something is from clearance, or if there is a killer sale going on. This location has difference items compared to the Peninsula. There are times I find something that's not even on the website anymore and cheap! A good chunk of the time, I walk out empty handed, it's fun to look around. The changing rooms are usually locked, you have to request an employee to open it for you. They are fair sized and well lit. I think I've always seen about 2-3 employees working inside?

They had a few other things such as kid's tees, baby onesies, postcards, etc. But predominantly t-shirts here.

Just keep walking! 2 ( and most importantly) The woman they have working AS THE CASHIER is rude AF. She should definitely be fired because her customer service is A-palling . If this is how she treats half of the customers that walked by there good luck getting any business. The woman is terrible. I am SHOCKED at the level of customer service of this place! My son, who was NOT in the establishment waved at a dog inside the store. She yells to him VERY RUDELY "watch out for your ice cream" and so I looked at her and said "he's not inside the store" Her response " I don't care , I don't want it there" EXCUSE ME? Don't talk to me like that or my son and secondly you don't own the sidewalk you idiot. Some people! Seriously, the owners need to reconsider hiring someone else if they want more business. And if she is the owner (which I doubt) good luck staying in business. You have a lot to learn about running one.

Some additional, some at almost full price - but didn't really check those out. Great deal on a mint green 3/4 zip fleece $23!!! It's one of the few outlets of Patagonia.

Quality/Quantity - We are loyal customers at your Reno, NV location. We visit this location every…read moretime we come to Santa Cruz. Not sure why as we have NEVER bought anything from this location. Habit I guess?!?! In the past, the styles here were not of our taste, but it looks like that has changed. Much more "neutral" styles now. Atmosphere - I believe one of the first Patagonia Outlet stores opened. Decent size location. They even have a lounge area; see picture. Very clean, neat, organized location; see pictures. Plenty of mall parking. Restrooms (if needed) are in the rear of the building, a long walk. Not sure if they are Patagonia's or the mall's restrooms. Open 7 days a week from 10am to 6pm; and on Sundays from 11am to 5pm. Service - Self service. Price - Above average, but that is the cost for quality (and service). Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1973. And thank you for also giving 1% to not-for-profit workers "to defend the earth." And having programs that raise awareness of environmental and social issues. My favorite program is Worn Wear. You can either sell Patagonia your used clothes or trade them in so they can fix it. I believe that reusing is better than recycling. Furthermore, they give you credit ranging from $15 to $150.

We had a great time wandering around Santa Cruz last week, and one of the cute little shops we…read morevisited was Bunny's. It's not all shoes, but you know places with shoes where you always find something adorable that you can't resist, because the management does such a great job curating the place? That's Bunny's. There are pretty dresses on the wall, stuff on shelves all around, and tables with jeans and all kinds of things. Really, you end up looking all over, because the place is so eclectic. The prices were reasonable, and be sure to check in on Yelp, you might get a couple like we did!
