Great little coffee shop with great vibes and views! We've been coming to Capitola over the past 4 years or so and never knew this spot existed. We've even ate next door and had no clue. While looking for a pick me up, I saw it on maps and had to check it out. It's up a tall flight of stairs and is surprisingly larger inside than you might imagine. Lots of comfortable seating inside and tables. The rear patio is very small with a few tables, but the views are awesome if you can grab a table. I got a Brown Sugar latte and it was solid. Could have been a touch sweeter, but it was definitely a good drink. Wife tried some iced tea and kiddo got a cider. Everyone enjoyed their drinks and it was a nice spot to relax. I'll definitely grab another coffee on my next visit. Location is awesome, especially as we stayed in the village. Coffee was good, but I'll have to try a pastry next time. Give it a shot, I think you'll enjoy what they offer. read more

We walked in on a beautiful Monday morning and were immediately greeted by the friendly gals working the counter, who asked if we were ready to order. The café had a happy, welcoming vibe with soft music playing in the background. I ordered a nonfat latte with a croissant. The croissant was incredibly fresh, and the coffee was strong and excellent. My husband ordered a mocha along with oatmeal and a blueberry muffin, which was warmed to perfection. We were especially pleased to see a variety of milk options available. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this coffee shop. read more

Adorable lil coffee house with fun specialty drinks, cakes and pastries. It's on the second floor with a couple tables overlooking the rainbow house row, but the interior is also homey and pretty. Everyone's really nice and it seems to be a locals' favorite. Got the last slice of cheesecake with the Mona Lisa coffee (think it was a coconut mocha something, really good) and snagged an outdoor table, it was a great morning stop. read more

We needed our caffeine fix and a bite to eat so we walked to Mr. Toots around 11am. It's a cute little coffee shop above one of the local restaurants, reached by ascending a few stairs through a very small entrance. We got a few coffees and bagels and we really wanted to love it after all the great reviews. Unfortunately, we found the barista's were a bit disinterested, the coffee was mediocre, the bagels looked like they were from Costco, and everything was overpriced. A lot of the tables seemed very old and wobbly, and there were lots of flies buzzing about. The view from their balcony was nice, but there's only room for a handful of people. It might be the right place for some as I see the potential of how it's set up, but I don't think we'll return. read more

Cute little shop with the best view of the Venetian style houses and the beach. This upstairs cafe has a cozy vibe. I've had their iced coffees in the past but decided to try one of their italian sodas- orange peach, it was very refreshing. They also offer homemade pastries, the carrot cake cupcake was nice and soft. Service was friendly and quick. The single restroom is also clean. read more

It was good but I've had stronger coffee. I need my coffee extremely strong but have a yummy flavor.

Me and daughter 2 had a nice stroll in capitola and decided to stop for coffee . Americano was ok and daughter got their cold honey latte which she gave 4 stars . The little porch they have there is great to sit around and enjoy the ocean views ! read more

Very cute place, kind of small but worth the squeezing in if they're busy. So many options, even for danishes/sweet treats/small breakfast items. Super friendly staff and I loved how they explained exactly what we were ordering. Homemade whipped cream was definitely the cherry on top! My recommendation is the Coconut white chocolate mocha! read more

You need to enjoy their teas, coffee and baked goods to be sure. What you really need to do is meet the Barista that was serving all of these fine features. She's amazing. She also did it alone! This woman can handle a steady stream of customers, engage in charming conversations and ENJOY all of it simultaneously. As an added bonus, you can select from books that are stocked for your reading pleasure, play a table game or just sit out and watch the beachcombers playing outside of the deck. They could use a little more space, but that just might ruin the vibe. You get energized by more than the coffee and cookies at a place like this. =) read more

I needed a sugary coffee to wake me up but they don't seem to have any blended drinks so I opted for an iced latte. The place is cute, and hidden. I would have missed it if someone didn't point it out. A nice place for chilling and drinking coffee or have some desert. read more

Excellent coffee shop located above Margaritaville in the lovely Capitola Village. Ample seating space inside, and a small balcony overlooking the colorful village. I ordered an iced latte, and it was perfect. There was a long list of baked goods and drink options. Service was fast, and the cashier was friendly. read more

What an institution! I've been coming here for decades, and still love the look and feel of this small coffee shop. It may not be flashy or have fancy new tables or countertops but it exudes the laid-back vibes of Santa Cruz. The coffee is always good and they have fresh pastries from local bakeries. If you're able to snag a seat on the patio (and it's warm enough to sit for a bit), I highly recommend taking in the Capitola Beach and riverfront view. read more

Mr Toots is one of my two favorite coffeehouses in the Santa Cruz county, and that says a lot because I have been to hundreds! Okay not really hundreds, but it feels that way. Mr Toots is definitely the most charming and unique of the all. When I have out-of-town visitors, this is the coffeehouse I take them to. The baristas are extremely friendly, like I've walked into their kitchen and they're making me a drink or telling me about the latest cake. The place has couches and comfy seating. There are furniture cases of jewelry from local artists and cute little fun thingamabobs to buy and look at, like stickers and clever signs, on counters and walls everywhere you look. There are even books on bookshelves and games. You'll find college students studying, professionals on laptops, families with young children and people with their dogs. It's a very eclectic place with eclectic people. There's a small deck that looks out at the famous houses at the Capitola beach (see photo). There are only 3 or so small tables there so more often than not, they will be occupied, however it is still worth a peek at the view. It is so pretty! I love it here and can't say enough great things about it. read more

I mean, we always love Mr. toots I work down the street and everyone has good things to say about it. I as well have great experiences and great coffee there. The only reason I'm giving this a four star is cause your pastries are from Costco. That's the only reason other than that love the coffee. read more

First off I love the cozy vibe immediately on ascending the stairs. Was greeted by the baristas with a joyful tone. I ordered the honey lavender latte and with the homemade whip cream (Best whip cream I've ever had!) you can have your choice of a nap inducing couch, tucked in a nook, or daze into the ocean with the famous painted homes in sight. Whatever your endeavors maybe, you can count on Mr Toot to ease your fatigue and warm you up with their unique coffee menu. If only I was a local, this can be my second home. read more

Cute little cafe overlooking a channel into the bay. Friendly staff and an comforting vibe, all you could want in a coffeeshop.

My wife enjoys her coffee in the morning so we made our way over to Mr. Toots on a Sunday morning. It's a cozy place on the 2nd floor of a building in Capitola, you've got to make your way up a flight of stairs to get your coffee fix. Seems like a place where people like to hang out, a nice mom and pop kind of place. My wife got a carmel latte and a hot chocolate for the kiddo, both were enjoyed! However, the of the other reasons we came here was for their view of the colorful houses on the Capitola waterfront! Mr Toots has a tiny balcony with a few seats that has a wonderful view if you're lucky enough to snag a seat on! read more

Ambience: 5 stars (next to Margaritaville - up a narrow staircase with an excellent view of the water) A funky little cafe. My kind of cafe. My triple espresso: 3 stars (a darker roast but the pull was way too long - made for a diluted espresso) My daughter's peach iced tea: 5 stars (very good peach flavor - honey and simple syrup are available to add on your own) Would I come back? Possibly. I do love my espresso but it's got to be made right. read more

Everyone here is so nice! I loved being able to sit by the bay looking out at the colorful buildings. Coffee was the best I had had in the couple days I was here. I got the mona lisa iced, and it was perfect! read more

Mr Toots Coffeehouse is amazing!! I will definitely be coming back anytime i'm in Capitola. The views, the ambiance, the customer service, the coffee is all top tier.

We love visiting Mr Toots when in town. Usually we want to stop by and they are closed, but today we got lucky. Love this tiny cafe and book nook. Seating is limited but the view is spectacular if you get a balcony seat. Inside the cafe there is plenty to look at from books to stickers, art and eclectic decor. Don't let the hidden stairway outside distract you from this little gem! read more

Mr Toots is a Capitola institution. The oldest coffeeshop in Santa Cruz county in fact! If you're coming to Capitola, make sure you're coming to Toots, or you didn't really get the whole experience. It's a great stop from the esplanade to a wharf walk, everyone should have a warm (or iced bevi) for a wharf walk. My lifelong recommendations are chai, or the Mona Lisa, people who are NOT me seem to love the Borgia. I'm a never fruit & chocolate mixer. But really the baked good, especially those baked by Gary are not to be missed. My choice would be cheesecake for a treat, or coffeecake because you deserve it, but they're all good. Everyone who works here is a gem in one way or another. It's a great spot to work or to meet old friends (sometime new ones!) or to just enjoy some music & the view. I like most of the employees playlists. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the view, it's the most picturesque & charming cafe I can think of, the view of the Venitians is unparalleled. The Ocean and Soquel Creek will soothe your soul, water works wonders like that. Not matter what, and this is a non negotiable...Go outside to the deck with your drink, even just for a few breaths of fresh air (or wind whipped rain even), and know you've made it to the breathtaking-est spot in the region, with the best homemade whip cream, well done. read more

Historic coffee shop located in Capitola. Who would've ever knew? My husbands union rep is the one who tipped him off about this secret gem. We parked a few blocks away and brought our personal cups to reduce waste. The girl working the counter was very patient with all my questions and do they offer dairy free milk? Yes they do. I also order my drinks decaf to avoid a ton of caffeine, I'm super boring I know. My husband and I, enjoyed our drinks never to the window looking down at the street. There is one bathroom. I can't for sure figure out if wheelchairs can make it in? There is a back entrance, but I didn't check it out. The front entrance is stairs only. read more

The service here was great! I came in immediately was greeted, and the two girls in the front gave recommendations on what I was interested in buying and how to even improve it more than my liking! The coffee was all right, but the pastries are absolutely amazing. I would highly suggest buying pastries! The atmosphere is cozy and homey. read more
