Zagat Rated!
Walk out your apartment door, turn left on Capitola Avenue, walk 4 blocks to Bay Avenue. At the
enter section of Capitola Ave and Bay Ave is Gayle's Bakery & Rotisserie. Known for some
of the finest food to be found anywhere in California! You are sure to find
something very yummy from among their amazing array of breakfast
options and freshly baked goods! You'll need to take

Zeldas on the Beach
Located a short stroll from your apartment at Capitola Suites, along the Esplanade,
about 3 blocks away. The setting at Zelda's is the main attraction here. It is
pretty "funky", and a bit on the shabby side inside. However their Huevos
Rancheros is a pretty good bet, and sitting on the patio overlooking
the beach enhances the taste buds and your morning spirit! The
food is not the main attraction here, it is the view!
It is also a great place to people watch.
