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.

I walked in and it was pretty small and nobody was at the counter, but I walked around and looked around anyway. I wasn't totally impressed and from what I remember it was VERY overpriced for some of the most simple and basic items that I can get anywhere else for a fraction of the cost. I understand that it was local, but it didn't appeal to me and wasn't unique. I might give this another shot some time down the line.

I did not experience the level of horrible customer service that Yelpers complained about at this location. I bought a fun scarf - kind of like a cheap knock off of the striped Missoni-style scarves.

There is a surface lot a block (off of Monterey) away that has all the same problems as the street parking. Generally speaking I like the odds that the lot behind the police station offers, but in peak tourist season you'd best plan ahead for parking. This is a medium ish sized store very typical in layout for the shops that line this block close to the beach. The entrance faces the street, and the stock is laid out through the store with the cashier at the back. It will seem narrow but isn't really. The stock falls into mid range giftables. It's not a super expensive spot where you can blow 500 dollars on a purse but is the kind of spot where you can pick up a decent clutch for 40 bucks or so. Most of the items fall into the home décor category with a mild beach theme. There are inspirational books, wine accessories, all sorts of beach gear, light clothing, candles, leather craft goods, cups, and yes magnets because of course there are. Overall it's a reliable source of better quality gifts then you'll find elsewhere on the esplanade, the kind of things that won't embarrass you when you get home.

We walked in here to find food. Unfortunately, the food court only had five different places only two to choose from for food. Unfortunately, the Ramen place was a no go for us. The Taqueria Gabrielle was super good and they do a great job at how much food they put together in their food and prices are well meaning french fries meat, etc. The service was really great at the Taqueria Gabriel they do have a coffee shop here called the daily grind coffee I have to say my favorite place to see here was the bookstore. If you love books definitely drop by. It is huge. It is so nice. You could get lost in there. I really hope the community comes together and makes this place a great place that it can be for all the teenagers and young parents to come and bring their kids and go shopping . Don't forget to check out the thrift store if you're around as well ! Lots of parking and they have tons of bus stops so you're able to come with public transportation and or have plenty of places to park

They sell a variety of household goods, skincare and beauty products, and so much more, with the emphasis on good-for-the-planet and good-for-you. I had run past this shop and driven by many times, always saying to myself that I needed to drop in when it's open (which by the way is 11am-6pm), and finally got a chance to during the Capitola Art & Wine Festival. There's so much more in this store than I expected, and it's a lot bigger inside than it looks from the outside. Not only do they sell a lot of specialty and everyday items from quality and earth conscious brands, they also are a refillery so you can pop in armed with your own bottles/containers to refill with everything from body lotion to laundry detergent! It's awesome! Ethos is also a Certified B Corp, donates some of their proceeds to environmental nonprofits, is locally-owned, and women-owned! So many positive reasons to support and check them out!
