This mall is SO SAD now and days! I used to love going there as a child and there were SO many stores there back then. I'm 28 now so you do the math. Only reason I go there is mainly to shop at Khol's and that's about it......

while the capitola "mall" feels less of a mall in current day in the past it was filled with brilliant memories and sophisticated charm. i can still envision the memories it has held for me and many others in our formative youth. now i walk the halls in between wetzle pretzel and chilis and have a harder time finding the joy and brightness of this place but i see to it's potential and hope more people can find the quaint ambiance of this humble structure.

I heard a rumor that this mall was closing down and honestly I'm fine with it. This ''mall" shouldn't even be called a mall because of how bad it is. There's no people (for a good reason) the stores suck and I'm pretty sure that theres more closed down stores than open stores. It's pretty obvious that this mall is dead.

It's got a nostalgic charm I suppose I didn't properly appreciate on my last review. Very empty, with empty store fronts, but in a way that gives it a cool abandoned vibe. Free wifi in the food court area. Chances are you'll have the place to yourself.

No trip to Capitola is complete without a trip to the mall. This mall is actually so much cleaner than my local mall is. The landscaping is kept up. The stores are all so inviting. And the food options are incredible. Bring your wallet. Bring your appetite. This place is incredible.i could not believe there are so many stores at this place. There is something for everyone.

There is literally no reason to come here.Terribly sad shell of a mall. On a Saturday night at 7:00 p.m., what few stores are left are closed. Stopped here for Target, then stumbled onto the sad portal into the dark dreary Mall.

When I was a teenager Capitola Mall was one of my favorite malls to visit especially when Dad would do work in Santa Cruz and Capitola. And each time we would go to Capitola Mall Mom and I would always end up with tons of bargains. My mother and I were fans of Gottschalks and this mall was where we first discovered Gottschalks and we would visit every trip. And when JCPenney was in Capitola Mall it was our favorite store along with Disney Store as well. It is a shame that Capitola Mall started going downhill when Sears closed and what I think could improve this mall is a bigger food court with Arby's and other restaurants and they could add a DD's Discounts location to this mall to help it stay on it's feet. But it really is a shopper's paradise if you are visiting Capitola or driving from Watsonville to do your shopping needs

This place has potential. I'm not sure what this place looked like when it had more open stores but it isn't terrible now. They have a bunch of anchor stores, which I assume keep this place running, Macy's, Target, Kohl's and Ulta. I only saw 2 or 3 food spots and most of the stores are not open regular hours. It has a good floor plan and could definitely be revamped

What do you do on vacay when it is raining? We ended up going to the only indoor mall in the area. It is a nice small mall. Did some holiday shopping and found an awesome bookstore here. Lots of the standard store...tiny food court.

The Capitola Mall is getting worse when each time I'm there! I have come to the Capitola Mall about 1-2 times a year when I visit the area. The mall was pretty attractive to me many years ago, but going downhill slowly as lots of older shopping malls in California. They have many empty spaces in the mall. It makes me sad when I'm walking in the mall. I remember the Capitola Mall was pretty busy when I'm there years ago! I hope they will be able to find a solution to attract the customers back to the shopping mall once again. They should be the shopping and dining center of the whole area! The parking lot looks safe and very easy to find the parking space in front of the shopping mall. I hope more people are going back to support the local businesses!

We've been going to this mall for many years, and it is still as great as ever. They have a lot of different stores for shopping, and we always buy something everytime we leave the mall. I especially love their Hot Topic store as they have a lot of Doctor Who stuff, and I am a major Whovian. The mall itself is large and relatively clean, and they have really pretty Christmas decorations throughout the whole mall when the holidays roll around. Their food court has some great food stalls, especially the Korean Barbeque, where we always buy soup every time we go. They also have great promotional sales during Memorial day weekend and etc, so that's a plus as well. Overall, this mall is great, and we will always come back.

There's a awesome toy store that just opened in the front entrance of the mall and they carry vintage as well as newer toys and collectibles. Inside the same store there is a video game selection that buys sells and trades everything from the older Nintendo - Playstation 5! If you're gonna go to the capitola mall for any reason , check these guys out and support two local boys business.
