I stopped by at 6:57pm on 2/19. The website says they are open but the doors were locked. Such a shame as my family loves to stock up on our oils when we visit Monterey. Very disappointing.

First stop in Monterey Bay. Cute shop with a variety of olive oil favors and bath items. I left with 3 bath bombs and a pesto olive oil. I ended up using all 3 bombs on my road trip and can't wait to cook with the pesto olive oil. Definitely my favorite shop in Monterey.

Great selection! The staff was most friendly and helpful. They even gift wrapped my purchase at no charge. I will definitely become a repeat customer.
