I went here for the first time with my partner in August of this year and was enamored by the cute atmosphere of the cafe! My partner ordered the waffle with strawberries and bananas and I opted for a classic burger with fries. The fries were honestly some of the best I've had in town and the burger was solid! Presentation wise, the waffle was intense, as was the ice cream sized scoop of butter they put on top! Delicious food, very friendly staff and fast service. If you're craving comfort food in Capitola, this is the place to go! read more

Stopped by for a quick bite. Very nice service and fast for being made to order. Over all decent meal, I wouldn't say I would go back but did the job. Under seasoned for me but filling. We also ordered to eat in and got a Togo meal, kinda sucked but nothing to throw a fit over. read more

Update: everything is back to normal. The Latin cook is back! Food is awesome here!

Nice breakfast choices. Coffee was good. I asked what brand and it was from Costco. Found this place. I wanted crab Benedict, not available.

Their food is wonderful taste great I love the atmosphere. Their employees are very nice and very courteous. The restaurant is very clean.

The food was absolutely amazing!! I don't live in the area and had eaten at a few different places that were not great. The crapes are delicious! I only wish they had a location in San Diego! read more

The service was great, The food came out super fast, and everything was delicious! We got a savory crepe a sweet crepe and a salad. Everything tasted amazing, and the crepes could be made celiac safe! For somone who has celiacs and can't eat gluten this is a win! read more

Cute brunch spot in Los Gatos! It was my first time trying a BUCKWHEAT crepe with spinach, feta, and mushrooms! I've never seen a whole grain crepe option before, and it was so fluffy and delicious! I wish more restaurants offered this :) the crepe came out a bit cold but the mushroom sauce was warm so I guess that worked out ... :0 4/5 because the food was delicious and service was great, but I wish the food came out warmer. I also think there should be more covid precautions implemented, such as social distancing marks, since everyone was crowded in the front of the restaurant. read more

Disappointing! Service, food quality and prices make this a spot not to visit. Sad as it once was great! No more for me!

This is one of my favorite places, I fell in love with it in Los Gatos. I always order it on DoorDash now, and I always make sure to get the pesto, chicken crêpe, and Nutella and fruit crêpe!! read more

Stopped for a quick bite. Ordered the breakfast sandwich, scrambled egg, ham, and cheese on sourdough. It wasn't salted much. Not a complaint just a warning. They have packets of condiments on a side table. I don't mind salting my own food it gives me more control over the amount I get. It was fine. The other plate was a mixed berries and custard crepe. It was good tasting and enjoyed the homemade whipped cream. Would come back again. There are three tables inside and four tables outside so the dogs can join you. read more

Need to update the hours. Went Sunday at 1:55PM and the staff said they close at 2:00. The website states 2:30. So disappointing.

Very good crêpes, customer service is excellent!! Such a cute little place. The other breakfast food items were very good.

They stopped making hollandaise sauce so no more crepe benedicts and no more me. Those were the best breakfast items on the menu. What a shame to take your best items off the menu. read more

Tried for 3+ weeks to get in contact with someone about catering-it is literally in their name. And no one ever got back to me. Disappointed

Visited this local, hole in the wall spot with my aunt for breakfast. The food is fine, yet the humming is loud, they serve some things in plastic, and you bus yourself. So, I recommend this place for a well-priced, minimal-atmosphere spot. read more

Maybe it was an off day. We have been here numerous times, usually ordering a savory crepe to share and the sweet Parisian crepe for dessert. Today I decided to try the mixed berry crepe and husband got the Parisian, his favorite. The mixed berry crepe was filled with strawberries and 4 blueberries. The fruit was cooked and hot and the crepe was slightly burned. It was not good in any way. The cashier was clearly unhappy to be there, unhappy to be interacting with us. We all have bad days so I tried to ignore the negative vibes. The crepe was a complete loss, though. Will we be back? Not sure. Maybe someday. read more

The food was super yummy! A little pricey but still very good. The restaurant is very clean, the service could have been better. The young Hispanic cashier was very rude, seemed like she did not want to be there or our presence annoyed her. The other young lady who brought us our food was super friendly and attentive. I would definitely try again, hopefully the young cashier who helped us is in a better mood. read more

Yay for gluten-free crepes! All the crepes were delicious. There's an outside seating area that's right next to a parking lot, but there are lots of flowers and plants around so it's pretty. I don't know if they're just short-staffed, but we had to bus the table before we sat down, and a couple items to a while to come out. It may be that they want people to bus they're own tables, which is fine. If that's they case, some signage would make that apparent. Everyone was very nice and the food was great (the potatoes were really nicely cooked), so we'll definitely go back. read more

Who doesn't love a tasty grilled salmon Caesar salad. Love squeezing a little lemon on as well. The strawberry Nutella crêpe is so delicious with the homemade whipped cream! It's hard not to get one every time you go. They have another location in Los Gatos where I first learned about them. Love that they are so close to home now. Yummy! read more

A solid four stars. Place is clean with cute photos and local artist paintings for sale. Yelp check in means a free fountain beverage. Order was quick and easy. The hubs got the chicken pesto w no tomato, I opted for the margarita. Both were tasty! The crepe was perfect and the cheese oozed out mixed in with the pesto.... it was what I was craving. Hubs also got a green small side salad. Fresh cucumber, shredded carrots and lettuce. He would order it again. I definitely need to come back for the dessert crepes and try other items on the menu! We came in close to closing but did not feel rushed to finish within the 20 minute time frame.. to go boxes are conveniently stocked on the counter where customers can grab them without having to ask the staff. read more

Always a great place to go regardless of the time of day. Really good selection, but the crepes rock! Whether you want a loaded crepe or a light one like I had (very yummy!), everyone should find something. Staff is very friendly, too. We miss the real cups for coffee/tea, but understand changes due to Covid. Outdoor seating is an oasis on a busy street. read more

I really love their food! The crepes I had was exactly like the ones I had in France. My husband was pleasantly surprised with his Caesar dressing as many restaurants don't get that one right and his omelette was great too! Karsten helped us and he was very friendly and Gene's cooking is outstanding. Thank you both! read more

Ordered a Turkey and Brie Crepe, they could have at least popped it in the microwave to melt the cheese and give me a warm crepe. Makes sense why no one was here read more

Sweet Pea's Cafe & Catering - Turkey and Brie Crepe - Creperies Near Me - Capitola, California

A nice, quaint little cafe serving fresh dishes for breakfast and lunch. I opted for the Huevos Rancheros Special - a nice balance of add-ons to go with the scrambled eggs plus large slices of avocado on top! Bottomless self-serve coffee, too! read more

Not very strict for Groupon users. It says for take-out only and must order an entree before using this deal. Apparently I didn't need to order an entree to have the deal applied and I didn't have to take it to-go. Regardless, it was nice enjoying my meal there. I ordered the Gary's Omelet. I ordered it because it was healthy; egg whites, turkey, and avocado. The dish comes w/ potatoes and toast (I chose whole grain). Since I didn't know I didn't need to order/pay for an entree, I ordered the Mushroom and Brie Burger and a Gil's Southwestern Sandwich which contains ham, green chiles, and pepper jack cheese. I informed the girl that I wanted the omelet for here but to box the other two. I paid and she seemed very impatient w/ me. I was not asked if I wanted a drink. A very small place but much larger than the Los Gatos location. BTW, service for the Los Gatos location is similar to this one. I waited for about 10 minutes for my order which wasn't bad. The place was quite busy and I see 2 girls working the register and running the food and 2 guys working the production line: one for the crepes and one for the griddle. There are no restrooms inside this place. Water is self served (wish I saw that) and tables are equipped w/ ketchup, mustard, Tabasco, Tapatio, salt, and pepper. Finally! My order was brought out but it wasn't my omelet but it was the sandwich and burger. She then had to take it back to box it. Finally! My omelet is here! It looked huge. I didn't care too much for the potatoes but the egg white omelet was quite tasty although very dense. The avocado were fresh and the turkey were slices of turkey one can get at Trader Joe's. Not bad. I enjoyed it very much. Not long into my meal, the girl came back to retrieve the bag (my boxed goods) because she gave me the wrong burger. The sandwich was standard. I regret ordering it. I was not asked what type of bread I'd like. Maybe it was my fault because I should have specified my preference. The burger was for my boyfriend. Although he didn't taste any mushrooms or brie, he said it was seasoned right and was tasty. I'll try their breakfast crepes and Belgian waffle next time. I have a Belgian waffle maker... *shrugs* It just shows I like to eat out, haha. Decent food. Reasonable prices. Please up your service! read more

This is an updated review. Jamie T. asked: "Can you describe more as to why not to try the crepes? I didn't try them this time. But they smelled amazing while i was there." I'd like to say that I'm a fan of Sweet Peas fast cafe style breakfast. The juices are freshly squeezed and the waffle combo is a great value. But, the crepes are perpetually undercooked. It is mushy dough wrapped around tasty filling. Preparing a proper crepe is a talent that not every chef possesses. It begins with having a correctly mixed batch of dough and knowledge of proper technique while frying. Crepes are not just thin pancakes and someone should tell Sweet Peas cooks that. Jamie, try the Crepe Place on Soquel if you're interested in experiencing authentic crepe recipes. read more

Really bad service. After ordering we waited 20 minutes before being told that they were out of waffle mix. Okay, I can live with that. But then half our party's meals came out. The rest of us were forced to watch while they FINISHED their meal. We didn't get our food until after they were already done. I was on the verge of asking for my money back when it finally came. read more

This was the best cafe I have ever been too!! The environment is so welcoming as well as the staff. We were greeted and helped very fast! The menu is so huge and can feel like a lot but the quality is amazing. I got a basil pesto sandwich and a banana, strawberry, Nutella crepe. The cashier was super nice in letting me know that they were out of a certain type of sandwich role but could offer me an alternative and I thought that was awesome that he let me know! The crepe was amazing and sooooo big!! This place is also very eco friendly!!! The to go boxes and biodegradable, paper straws, and even cake with a reusable bag instead of plastic!!! I will definitely be coming here again as I work just down the street!! read more

Their chicken salad sandwich is dreamy!! But prepare yourself for some super creamy fluffiness inside. The chicken is mixed with almost a whipped cream filling! It's to-die-for!! read more

Hidden little cafe! The portions are good. The price for my omelette felt high, given the setting, BUT they don't skimp on the bacon. So that balanced out. I'll be back to try a crepe, but I have to say to hit five stars - I'd be looking for Heinz ketchup (picky, I know) and more espresso type offerings. :) read more

I'm usually a fan of this place. I've been here plenty of times and I always get the Crab Crepe Benni, which is delicious. However, lately the food has been subpar and this last visit has turned me off. I ordered my usual. The poached eggs were hard boiled eggs. The crepes were overcooked. There was barely any crab and any crab that was actually in the crepe was cold and watery. There was just a huge chunk of avocado in each crepe. The crepes were also poorly thrown together. Maybe the cook was having a bad day. I'm usually pretty understanding when it comes to the occasional bad meal at one of my favorite places to eat but I couldn't even finish this one. Update 1/28/17: Tried to give this place another chance. Service has gone way down for some reason. Owner change or maybe he stopped caring? Anyways, I didn't get my order. People who sat down after me got their orders before me and it was not that busy. After 30 minutes of waiting patiently, I went to the counter and asked for a refund. I had given them a $20 bill and told them to keep the change for tip when I ordered. I told them that when I was getting my refund and the cashier gave me attitude, like I was lying (the original cashier was there). Get your receipt, ladies and gentlemen. Would give them 0 stars if I could. Will be crossing this place off my list from now on. What a shame. read more

Best crepes in Santa Cruz! Dare I say some of the best crepes I ever had. Even the sandwiches are so good! Idk what they do to them to make it taste so good. I love the banana condensed milk crepe & the egg Benedict crepe. The Benedict sauce here is the best tasting than anywhere else. I seriously crave this place all the time now! Whenever my mom comes up from southern CA she makes me take her here. Ugh it's the best! Don't change a thing sweet pea's keep doing you. Lol. read more

I ordered a waffle combo for breakfast from your restaurant through Door Dash. While the order was delivered timely, there were no napkins, no condiments, no syrup or butter for my waffle and no utensils. I'm staying in a hotel so I don't normally pack utensils in my suitcase. So I had nothing to eat my food with, and completely bland food - especially no syrup for my waffle. That's unforgivable. I called your restaurant immediately and the girl that answered the phone told me it wasn't her problem. I told her I was going to put a bad review on Yelp and she still insisted it was not her problem. Breakfast was not cheap, and my food is not worth eating. It's a shame because I heard your food was good. I'm so angry right now. read more

We got our food pretty quickly after ordering at the counter, but it wasn't very satisfying. Buckwheat spinach, mushroom, feta crepe - in an attempt to be healthier, I chose to get the buckwheat crepe instead of regular or gluten-free. But the buckwheat made the whole crepe super dry and thick. It felt more like eating a pancake. The mushrooms weren't really cooked down at all so it was an odd, semi-raw mushroom mix with a bland spinach and cheese mix. Pretty disappointed. 2/5 Grilled chicken pesto sandwich - Chicken was cut very thin so it was a bit dry, but otherwise was probably the best thing we had. The bread was pretty tasty and had a nice crunch. 3.5/5 Garlic Parmesan fries - too fried and too oily. There was a lot of garlic, but the Parmesan cheese wasn't shredded or melted on to the fries. They were just little squares of cheese, so I had to really struggle to pick up the cheese bits and garlic with the fries... 2/5 read more

Just modern enough, just old enough! I ordered the Belgian waffle combo; eggs and bacon were literally perfect. Waffle was amazing. Wife ordered the chicken artichoke crepe - proportionate blend of ingredients, fresh ingredients, and healthy natural ingredients. This ain't no Denny's! Personal contact between staff and tabled keeps you feeling warm and attended to. Owner is involved with the orders. 5 stars for the food. Heads up! Things to know in advance. Eclectic facility: the line is in the back not the front. Don't stand in the wrong line. :) Place your order, get a number, sit down. They don't wait on you. Good is healthy, condiments are standard-issue. If you have any super-special habits, like "100% maple syrup" instead of ye' ol' maple syrup, 100% cage free ketchup, or hand picked mustard from Felton only," they don't have them. They're standard issue. One poor soul is taking all the orders, you'll be standing a while. read more

On our way to the beach, we stopped here for a brunch because we wanted to check out what the crepe hype all about. Seafood for breakfast? Why not?! I seafood so i ordered the Crepe Crab Benni! Fresh crab with Avo, poached egg and hollandaise sauce, it waaaasss divine! The crab is so fresh and no smell at all! The sauce was delicious and flavorful and exactly as I have hoped for. My husband ordered the crab and shrimp jack omelette and he said it was good too! We had the lemon custard crepe, which will definitely cleanse your palate after eating seafood! It has a creamy citusy a lil hint of tartness, it was surprisingly good! My sis in law got a Ham benni crepe, i was at awe because they really packed the crepe an inch thick of the meat! Delicious as well! read more
