Craft Gallery

Had an incredible customer service experience here! They went above and beyond to help us find what wanted, which wasn’t very hard because they have amazing stuff. Will come back when we return to Capitola.

Craft gallery is a great place with a wonderful selection of jewelry. The city that it’s in however, stinks. Before you decide to go visit, read up on the reviews for Capitola city. The gifts are all decently priced but you’ll end up spending way more than you bargained for in parking citations because of their ridiculous, money hungry parking enforcement. It’s a shame because the store clerks were very nice, but I will definitely not be coming back.

Charming craft gallery with incredibly kind service. Great value and lots of good gift items. My favorite shop by far in Capitola!

I always find something cool here, every time I come by. The girls that run the place are very friendly, and have even offered to mail me product if I want to order off their website. I have bought some of my best earrings here, and have continually referred people to this shop because I am constantly asked where I get them from. They also have these handmade remote-​controller boxes that made great gifts for my mom and sister this past holiday. Go and check em out!

Great jewelry and gifts! We especially love the staff in the Craft Gallery Annex.
I make special trips down to Capitola just to come to this shop around the holidays and birthdays.
If you have any questions about the local artists featured in this shop, feel free to ask the staff. They are very knowledgable and very helpful.

My girlfriend and I happened to be in the area one weekend taking a stroll through the neighborhood. I had been looking for a present for my dads birthday and I had no idea what to get him. Fortunately we stumbled into this little shop. As we were looking around, Aleen welcomed us and showed us around the store. She pointed out these cool little sand pendulums and right away I thought it would make a great gift, of course we ended up buying one and no surprise, he loved it. Definitely worth stopping by if youre in the area.

A shout out to Josie and Ashley from Penny Lane! Penny is my tiny dog, and they fell in love with her. When we came back an hour later to buy the beautiful flower stained glass window piece that I couldn’t stop thinking of since seeing it earlier, they greeted Penny Lane by name! Such sweet people with a great shop, unique items and reasonable prices, especially for a fancy town like Capitola. Love it!

I love this place they have the coolest, quirkiest, funky items from sculptures to jewelry etc. Ashley and Josie are very nice and helpful! The prices are affordable and the quality and workmanship in the items is excellent! I just ordered another item! I am now a confirmed regular! Love this place!

Love this store! It’s been in Capitola forever and never fails me. If I need a gift I can always find something unique there. The staff is kind and courteous.

Nice store. I often find good gifts here. The prices range widely, so it’s easy to find something for various budgets.
My mom loves the jewelry, so I come here during the holidays. They will box everything up for you, which is nice.

This is a super neat store! They have lots of different and unique items as well as beautiful jewelry. I made some great purchases here and the employees were so helpful and so nice! This is a definite stop if you are in Capitola!

This is such a cute store. A great place to shop for something different for yourself or a gift for someone. Blown glass, wind chimes, gorgeous jewelry, candles, music. Great store & nice people that work there :) !

The Craft Gallery’s mother-​daughter team deserves every honor they’ve received for public service to the local community and for support of American artisans for 40 years! This is THE place to go if you want something you cannot find at the mall. Even under pressure the staff is always friendly, and they can actually tell you about the artist who made the item you’re interested in. There’s not a piece of jewelry made in China in the whole place. I’ve been shopping at the Craft Gallery for about 30 years and I’ve never been sorry. The sign on the door says that even your dog is welcome — a spirit of kindness to all that defines this charming shop.

What a wonderful place. Every turn in the store brought new items to examine. Lots of made in the USA (YEAH!) or even more locally made (CA) items. My sis-​in-​law bought two wonderful pairs of earrings. I fell in the love with the kissing salt and pepper shakers. Yes– kissing S&P– magnets keep the shakers together. Kissing dogs, snuggling lovebirds, cats, and many more. Great for a small housewarming gift or anniversary gift.
Everything from a few dollars to a fab drusy bracelet for $ 350.

I wasn’t sure if this was the place I went to, or the other address. In looking at the Google street view, this was the place I went to, after Thanksgiving, and before lunch at Zelda’s.
In here, you will find lots of odds and ends from some local artists. Want ceramic light switch covers in a beach scene? Got them. Want clay figurines of turtles surfing on long boards? Got that too.
I liked a lot of the wind chimes, especially the ones with the long tubes that make the deepest, resonating sound. Lots of paintings of beach scenes are available too, presumably from local artists. Various lotions and aromatics are for sale too.
If you’re stuck, and can’t find a good gift for somebody, chances are you will find something here. Don’t bother trying to find parking on the street. Stick to the lot on the hill above the police department and town hall. Like anything else in Capitola, it’s going to cost you.

The Craft Gallery is a great little gift shop in Capitola that is filled with unique gifts for any hard-​to-​buy for friends or family. It’s treasures range from the beautiful crafts of local artists, vintage-​style cigarette or card holders, hand-​made jewelry, candles, nick-​knacks, and more. This is the type of place you’re lucky to find as a tourist and lucky to have if you have a boyfriend like mine…
I first found the shop a year ago and loved it so much that I remembered an item they had and went back to get it for said bf for Valentine’s Day this year. Though it doesn’t have many things for me that I ca remember, their pit and pendulum that uses kinetic energy to carve patterns in sand is very cool! He set it up in his office and already, one of his co-​workers went down to buy one. Guys love it. I love it. Thank-​you craft gallery…
Also, the nice lady who was patient with me when trying to decide on a medium or large pendulum and if it should be wood or chrome… thanks. And thanks for wrapping it for free in the beautiful but masculine paper… and the cool blue and gold ribbon. (I decided on a large chrome pendulum, even though it was 50 $ more. I’m glad I did!)
And the last thing… a lot of other things on the street were closed. Thank-​you for being open. I would have been sad to drive down specifically for that pendulum and you not have been open! :D
