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.

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. No one deserves to be treated like that, especially in front of customers. The whole vibe was uncomfortable and ruined what should've been an exciting moment.

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 was blown away of what a disaster the Toys R Us section is in this location. It was filthy and…read moredisorganized. Packages were ripped open.

Quality/Quantity - I own too many of these types of shirts…read more.. Yet, I continue to buy them... So sorry, but forgot the friendly sales person's name who owns 34 of these shirts. 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!

EVERYTHING in this store can be bought somewhere else for much cheaper. I'm not even talking about using the internet...you just have to cross the street to the other surf shops! Billabong is banking on their name recognition and the tourists. So don't get trapped. It's nice stuff to look at and they get an A+ for presentation but that doesn't open local people's wallets.

Parking lot is…read morekinda smaller and shares it with Ross but it is attached to the mall so parking is found around. There's not the best quality things at kohls, but if you need something quick they might have it. Gotta love the """"50%""""" tactic they do. Anyway it's pretty organized and doesn't smell weird like Macy's so that's a plus. Don't really interact with service here ever so can't comment. Cashiers are nice. They also do Amazon return drop offs.
