California Coffee
9105 Soquel Dr, Capitola, CA
Crema's Take
“California Coffee in Capitola is a genuinely dog-friendly neighborhood gem where you can linger for hours in a tropical garden setting while enjoying locally-sourced breakfast and espresso drinks backed by live music and welcoming staff. The kitchen turns out hearty burritos and fresh pastries that pair beautifully with their pour-over coffee, creating the kind of place where regulars keep coming back for the full experience, not just the caffeine. Fair warning: coffee quality can be inconsistent, but when it lands right alongside the family-friendly vibe and your pup by your side on the dog patio, it's genuinely worth the visit.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

Love this place! Great selection of coffee and drinks as well as food freshly made and locally-sourced. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The live music is awesome! Lots of space to sit inside and outside, the patio offers more room for little ones to run around as well.
I love this coffee shop! Friendly - and the food is good. Breakfast Dawners are my favorite. There's a lovely garden, giving it quite a tropical feel, and a dog patio where your pooch can hang out. They have bands playing through the summer months on many Saturdays, and I have…
