At first I thought the associate was rude, but after seeing how the manager spoke to her, I felt bad. He was so red and angry I honestly wasn't sure if he was going to have a stroke.

I recently had the pleasure of working with the exceptional Roberto and his tailor whose…read morecraftsmanship and attention to detail truly set them apart. Roberto is Italian by background; he brings a level of precision, pride, and artistry to his work that is increasingly rare. From the very first appointment, it was clear he takes the craft seriously. He carefully assessed every aspect of the suit's fit, and balance. And made thoughtful recommendations that elevated the final result far beyond what I expected. His eye for detail is outstanding, and he clearly understands how a suit should fit. What impressed me most was the passion. Roberto treats each piece as if it were his own, ensuring everything is tailored to perfection. The final fit was flawless, clean lines, comfortable, and sharp. If you are looking for truly high-quality tailoring with a personalized touch, I cannot recommend Roberto at Castelli Fashions enough. This is old-world passion craftsmanship done right in Capitola/Santa Cruz.

Located just across Soquel Ave from the entrance to Nicene Marks by Aptos village county park. The products are well made, not the cheap stuff you'd find at the other Santa Cruz county tourist traps. I've bought a sweater and some shirts and they're all high quality silk screen prints that have held up over time. Highly recommended, come stop by and support local businesses.

I was amazed and a bit overwhelmed by the amount of options but had the sweetest experience being helped by a young man named Bruce. He helped me pick out a few items based off pictures I showed him of my grandson. Turns out he was spot on with what we picked and I just couldn't shake how kind him and the other staff where as we sorted through all the options. Apparently he is from the east coast he said and he really had that spirit of hospitality. This is exactly why I find good old fashioned brick and mortar shops to really hand select items these days despite the instant gratification of online ordering.

If you're ever in the Capitola village I definitely recommend stopping!

O'Neill make some pretty nice shirts to be honest. I like the way they feel, and the material is good and they show off a lot of my muscles - so I appreciate them.

I don't think they are as sexy as Adidas or the ones that I cut up myself or maybe Puma but in general I think it's a really good brand, underrated and pretty cheap as well, plus they're made in Santa Cruz that's awesome because they remind me of Santa Cruz in terms of design and colours.

We hung out (while my wife shopped at all the other stores) and discussed all the shirts we had, lol. It's not a competition, but he wins. He also shared the amazing history of the owner and their businesses. Like the sports theme shirts, but again, I already have too many. And I actually do not wear my sports theme shirts often enough. Have not been going to games or sports bars. Atmosphere - Decent size and location. They also own the business next door. Open 7 days a week from 10am or 10:30am to 6pm. Plenty of metered paid street parking. Service - 6 stars, a really friendly sales person. Very personable. Please take care of the people that take care of you. Price - Reasonably priced. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1975.

IMHO I first walked…read moreinto the shoe store adjacent to Big Kahuna and checked out their latest Vionic styles. Vionics are the only shoes/sandals that I can wear due to my plantar fasciitis issues. Unfortunately, they didn't have my size, but the friendly and helpful clerk clued me into their sister store, Big Kahuna, which had some sale Vionics available! I quickly walked next door! They had a wall full of sandals, including my favorite Vionics to choose from. I quickly picked out any sale sandals in my size, tried them on, and purchased two pair! New Vionics usually run about $89, but I paid $45 and $65 for my two pair! Rest assured, I will make it a point to visit Big Kahuna every time I'm in Capitola!

When I stopped by this past weekend to be disappointed again, they called the Aptos store which happened to have my size in the boot I liked, and the Aptos staff was able to put it on hold for me. When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to find that that the place was more than just a shoe store. It was an entire gift shop, with clothing, puzzles, and quirky items of all kinds on display. I explored the merchandise they had in the store, from unicorn themed books & ornaments to cozy pajamas made of the softest material ever. It was tempting, but I purchased my lovely new black comfortiva boots and was on my way. If you can look past the outrageous pricing, there's much to appreciate about this cute lil shop. A nice variety of unique products and designs, friendly service, and free & easy parking.
