Norma Jean's Coffee
8043 Soquel Dr, Capitola, CA
Crema's Take
“Norma Jean's is a warmly inviting local spot in Capitola where excellent espresso and house-made pastries are the main draw, though they'll also surprise you with unexpected delights like chicken tamales and breakfast burritos made with real care. The dog-friendly patio and cozy indoor seating make it perfect for lingering over a latte, and you might just meet Bean, the beloved Yorkie who's part of the shop's charm and character.”

A very nice local coffee shop. Its very warm and inviting. The coffee and pastries are next level. They also have some other food items like chicken tamales, which are delicious!!! I try to avoid the chain coffee spots as much as possible, and this is the perfect escape from them!!
Nice little place to get breakfast! Bean, the business Yorkie, greeted me at the door and sat with me while I drank my coffee. Word to the wise...don't mess with Bean while he's sleeping...even if he's on your lap...😆 🤣
The owner is incredibly rude. She buys everything for the cafe at Safeway. meat, cheese and bagels everything you could think of. She would treat me like I was less then her And would complain to my mangers and Bring up in a pretentious way that she owns a business in Aptos so she should be treated with the most respect. She’s in her 70s way too grown to be acting like a mean girl.
Nice pastries paired with great coffee! I love getting a latte here then just walking around the area and enjoying what it has to offer. They have indoor and outdoor seating, and I have always enjoyed the coffee that I get there. They have some fun and quirky signs, and the staff are friendly! A great alternative to some of the bigger local chains, while still keeping its local charm.
Came here after reading the reviews and this place did not disappoint. The breakfast burrito (w/ ham) was delicious, as is the salsa that accompanied it, too. Coffee (dark roast) was perfect. Great place. Great atmosphere. Locals frequent this place often, which says a lot. Friendly environment and budget friendly.
