It can be rare to find in a grocery, but it's the BEST Hummus EVER! Really, if you prefer FRESH…read morehummus that tastes like the genuine thing--garbanzos/chickpeas/ceci combined with good olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, parsley and garlic--this one wins a blue-ribbon. It's got a crunchy texture. It's more flavorful than those common hummuses that have preservatives and are thinned with other flavors. We found that Nettie's is even better than making our own homemade hummus. Bring it home and it'll quickly get gobbled up: no worries about an impending expiration date! This is our #1 spread for the best bagels around--from The Bagelry (their hummus wins a red-ribbon for also being great, but it's oilier). We recommend that when you find Nettie's hummus for the first time--sometimes New Leaf Market stocks it--buy it and try it!

It's a chain. It's basic. The black coffee was drinkable-ish. The bagel sandwich was really good…read more But I will likely never go back. Bagel sandwich 3.5/5 stars, coffee 0/5 stars. When I tell you my friend's coffee was bad, it was bad enough I would tell you to go get burnt bean water from a major national coffee chain before getting it here... and the whole coffee interaction was so very bizarre... She ordered a latte with soy. When they brought it to her, they handed it to her in a way the lid popped off and when she attempted to take it from them to sip the coffee, as it was overfull, so she could put the lid on, the guy pulled it back away from her as she's saying "it's fine" and takes it back out of her hand, walks back to the kitchen sink, and dumps out a good inch at the top before putting the lid back on and bringing it back to her. It was really weird to insist on taking it out of her hand and super odd choice to try to solve an ill-fitting lid by dumping out part of the drink she paid for. The way he took it from her weirded us out. It was not helpful and friendly, it was insistent and domineering. We immediately wanted to get out of there and get to the car... and the lid pops off again and again, every time she picks it up. The worst part is that afterward she noticed white dry powdery crud settled at the bottom, not mixed in. No clue what it was, but our best guess was they use some sort of powdered soy milk and they didn't mix it in correctly. TL;DR - Get your coffee anywhere else.

The BEST coffee shop in Capitola…read more You're crazy if you think any other spot makes better coffee. Bagels and baked goods are also terrific. A little more expensive than some other pizza and bagel shops in the area but it's better. So if you don't want to spend the extra $2 for a bagel then just don't go here and then complain on Yelp. All the staff were super nice to my kids as well. Not a huge spot to work out of all day but a very pleasant atmosphere.

We ordered the caraway dill sourdough bagel with herb cream cheese, and I have to give credit where…read morecredit is due--it was amazingly delicious. At $6.50, totally fair for Capitola. My mom got the blackberry scone for $5.50 and declared it phenomenal. So far, so good. Everyone's happy. Then I decided I needed to try their gluten-free bagel, made by Original Sunshine, which is known for making some seriously good gluten-free bagels. I went back up, ordered one plain gluten-free bagel. No spread. She said it would cost the same as with cream cheese. I said fine. The cashier walked behind the counter, opened a plastic bag full of bagels, grabbed one, placed it into a little brown pastry bag, and handed it to me nice and cold. Then came the grand finale: $8.74. ( I don't know how that came out to that price?) For. One. Bagel. No cream cheese. No toaster involvement. No ceremonial blessing that I witnessed. My friend, we have officially entered the artisanal bagel tax bracket. That felt a little like highway robbery--except apparently the highway runs directly through Capitola. And here's the most annoying part... THE BAGEL WAS DELICIOUS. ‍ I went home that evening and toasted it. So yes, I got robbed. But I walked away happy, eating the evidence. Would I buy it again? sigh Probably.

I'm sorry to have to say this, but as an Argentinian I know a thing or two about empanadas. I…read moreordered half a dozen meat empanadas from this place. Sure, they had interesting taste, but they were small, had barely any meat in them and they were full of potato and sauces. To top it off, they're extremely expensive and there's no one there that you can interact with. As they say, where's the beef? Sorry, I would not recommend these to anyone looking for a true Argentinian meat empanada. If you want to find that, go to the Empanadas King in Redwood City or Tangitos in San Francisco.

I wanted to check out the other stores since they had a little market outside. I ended up ordering the Firebird sandwich with an Izzy and I was surprised on how many different styles of drinks, wine and so does they have inside there? Sandwich shop. They also had deli meat you could buy and stuff you could take home with you. The lady that helped me was incredibly friendly impatient since I had no idea what I wanted to eat. She gave some options since I wanted a hot sandwich and I liked cheese that melts. Lol when I got my fire sandwich, I neglected to ask if there was any condiments or vegetables inside besides the bell peppers. I always like lettuce or something with a crunch. Sandwich was pretty basic, but I think it needed something extra like a spicy aïoli sauce or something added to take it up to a different level of flavor. I usually like different flavors within sandwiches so perhaps I'm just picky. Overall, I thought the sandwich shop itself was incredibly cute and I liked all the drink drinks and glasses or even bottle of wine you could purchase and then walk down the way to the beach! That's exactly what I did after I ate my sandwich.

The arugula and chimichurri packed an exquisite punch, and the meat was thinly cut (but thickly piled on) and soft. The flavor combo of rich steak and intense herbs on top of fresh ciabatta with some sort of subtle creamy garlic sauce? Perfection. The Hot Bird is thermally hot, not spicy, and very rich and creamy. The meat had a subtle smokey flavor and the roasted peppers were almost tangy, but it sort of melted away into the richness of the mayo and turkey. It was tasty, but the chimichurri really "wowed" me. I don't think I'd order the Hot Bird next time, but I'd drop the $14+tip on the chimichurri again in a heartbeat.

The whole interaction felt unnecessarily rude and made us uncomfortable. Especially because she did it in front of the other customers and tried to make a scene!
