It is now Woody's, it's open, and it's great!

Closed in 2025. Another Woody?s is about to open in the same spot.

Great airport (it is my local 🤓) and we have enjoyed Ella's food here a few times. Good steaks and pizzas and lots of indoor and outdoor seating. The breakfast menu is pretty limited, but everything has tasted great.

Gave it a 5 as it should be your stop if coming up the coast. Better that the choices in Monterey or Half Moon Bay, a quality establishment.

Ella's was a pleasant surprise. The menu is varied with some imaginative selections. Food is good, tasty & nicely presented. Not pretentious, but great if you are hungry. They have a kids, menu, don't forget to ask for the crayons. Good location, you can taxi right up and tie down right in front. They have an outdoor terrace with heaters which is dog friendly. Reservations in advance are probably a good idea. Wednesday at lunchtime it was packed.

Ella's cafe just opened up a few weeks ago in Watsonville, CA.
Excellent food and service for a modest price. For the passengers, great beers on tap and both indoor and patio seating. Plenty of parking at the airport. Must try their delicious thin crusted pizzas fresh from the stone oven.
