    Capitola Mercantile Shop Signs
    Donna T.

    I love Capitola Mercantile aka Mercantile Dwares Landing - Boutique, Wines and Dining! But unfortunately, it is not what it used to be :( However, it is still an absolutely quaint shopping warehouse strip. They have a variety of shops but recently many shops closed. I visited with my mother and family today and we were fairly surprised. Up-to-date shops still in business (in the warehouse) as of 5/11/2014: 1) Seaside Coffee 2) She Sells Seashells & More 3) Cava Wine Bar 4) Om Rhythms/In the Raw 5) Carousel Taffy 6) WFO Apparel 7) Caruso's Tuscan Cuisine and Pizzeria (maybe?) Every summer, I visited Capitola multiple times and always shopped at Mercantile. I feel like a giddy tourist but I follow the beats of my drum! Om Rhythms/In the Raw is an ethnic, cultural shop selling belly dancer outfits, scarves, jewelry (cheap $5 and under), and other knick knacks. Carousel Taffy is the BEST sweets store, and their service is spectacular. However, the female employee informed me that recently they changed their policy on sampling taffy and allow one free taffy per customer from their mystery box (aka you pick the taffy you want). Mercantile used to have shops like the Tie Dye, Flip Flop Hut, Vanity by the Sea, Baby Shoppe, and Nazar Turkish Imports :( The Nazar was one of my favorite stores since I adore their evil eye products! Parking is always insanely difficult in Capitola. Mercantile has a parking lot but it's like winning the lottery to grab a spot there. You're better off parking 5 - 10 minutes away and it might even be free! It was so empty and sad inside the mercantile warehouse this time around. I visited last summer 2013 and the vibe was much livelier and happier. Not sure what happened perhaps an overhaul of old management or lease contracts? Please bring the old shops back or at least place new attractions!

    I have always got great service from Becks Shoes store at Capitola mall location. Since it has been…read morea few years, I did not know that the Store moved to a new location. Becks Shoes 4105 Portola Drive Santa Cruz. The new location is great and accessible from 41st avenue and is in the corner of 41 st Ave and Portola Drive. There is parking in the back and the front of the store is off of Portola Drive. Addison the sales clerk is very knowledgeable and very easy to work with. Not a pushy salesman! He provided his knowledge and patience and helped me select the appropriate superfeet orthotics for my feet to give me comfort and stability to my tennis shoes! He also suggested a certain type of tennis shoe that can provide stability for pronation and supination. He did not push me in buying these new stability tennis shoes. But he actually found some good superfeet insoles for my condition and and stability and comfort for my existing tennis shoes. In the future I will look into buying new tennis shoes that he recommended that I can fit my new superfeet orthotics and provide more stability and comfort! I greatly appreciate his help and easygoing manner and would recommend you stop by the new Becks Shoes store at the above mentioned location. Thank you, Alberto Barba

    I'm here from out of town. This mall has so much potential…read more I felt kind of sad walking through seeing how many empty stores were around and how many stores look like they're holding on by thread If this was my town, I would definitely want to pull community together to get it going. 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

    First I'd like to say I have gone here for years and years. Buying for my kids, husband, friends,…read moreholidays and birthdays. I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars to support this local business. I went to exchange a bag I bought for a friend's birthday. She used it for a week and the handle broke. I went in with the receipt and asked for a replacement. They didn't have the same one so she called someone and when she got off she told me too bad. Since they don't have an identical one I would not get a replacement or a store credit. Apparently the owner or manager authorized this. I was appalled. I told the girl what I thought of this policy and asked her to file my complaint with the owner. She didn't care, she just said I only work here. They DO NOT care that I spent money on something that was clearly defective and they refused to back up the products they sell by offering a store credit. She told me they said to call the manufacturer of the bag. I CANNOT BELIEVE this. It's disgusting. They basically stole money from me. What a rip off. The friends I talked to about it were disgusted and encouraged me to write this. So beware if you shop here and something doesn't work out with a product they don't make, they will not honor a return. Absolutely disgusting and sad way to do business. I will never shop at these stores again. Do waste your money here. I would give negative stars if I could.

    I had gotten a zip up sweatshirt for Christmas! I received a gift receipt with it. The sweatshirt…read morewas a size too big, so I took it back about a month after it was purchased. Super easy exchange! And the gentleman helping me was extremely friendly and attentive, as well as his fellow coworkers! The only setback is the color design I received as a gift, was no longer available in store. I was pretty bummed, But I was informed when I received the gift to go back as soon as possible to make sure I got the same one. The employee also said that I could come check out new designs coming in, in a couple of weeks if I wanted instead. It was very helpful. Instead, I went with a navy blue one to match my daughter! Can't go wrong with matching Santa Cruz merch
