A gathering of sugar and spice made in the Monterey Bay area
More than just a spunky indie bookshop, Olivia & Daisy is a community hub that fosters connections through literature. Stop by to check out owner Kelsey Boyte’s carefully curated collection of fiction, memoirs, thrillers, nature writing, cookbooks, self-help and children’s books. Attend a book signing, participate in Open Mic Nights with stories, poetry and music, and savor the monthly Cookbook Club—which gives members a chance to experiment with new tastes.

About the author
At Edible Monterey Bay, our mission is to celebrate the local food culture of Santa Cruz, San Benito and Monterey Counties, season by season. We believe in sustainability, and we believe everyone has a right to healthful, clean and affordable food. We think knowing where our food comes from is powerful, and we hope our magazine, website and newsletters inspire readers to get to know and support our local growers, fishers, chefs, vintners and food artisans.
