About Old Capitol Books and Its Owners, Ali & Stephanie
In early 2017, when then owner, Matthew Sundt, announced to his staff that he wanted to sell, we (Ali Elfaki and Stephanie Spoto) knew that we had to do what we could to keep the bookstore open. To us, this bookstore represents something much more than a mere job – it is a real passion.
Ali Elfaki is a Sudanese immigrant who grew up here on the peninsula, and has been working at Old Capitol Books since 2014. He's worked to develop the bookstore into a literary and artistic fixture in the community.
Stephanie Spoto, a lecturer at CSUMB teaching literature, feminist history, and writing, has worked at Old Capitol Books since its opening in 2012.
With the help of our families, bookstore staff, and friends, we were able to pool enough money to purchase of the business. We first bonded over our love of books and literature, and many of our early days together were spent right here in the bookstore, so this place means a lot to us.
Did you know that The Perfect Crumb Bakery makes our own quiche? It's great for breakfast or dinner, and it's all made from scratch right here. Buttery, flaky, egg-filled: it's everything you want in a decadent shelter-in-place meal.
Give us a call at 831-241-6269 and order in advance for curbside pick-up. We're located at 301 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.
Sazón Express Cocina Mexica has recently reopened for take-out and now every day is Taco Tuesday! Enjoy traditional carne asada or Pop’s grilled lime-orange chicken tacos at Taco Tuesday prices. In addition, they're selling draft beer by Alvarado Street Brewery. It doesn't get much better than that.
Visit them at 431 Tyler Street in Downtown Old Monterey. Check out their menu, hours, and more on our website.
The Bay Area mom-and-pop shop you know and love, has finally entered into the digital world. We're adding items to our online shop every single day!
We have jewelry made in the USA, baby gifts, and loads of puzzles + games to keep you entertained. And that’s just a fraction of it. Please visit our new online store at www.therapystores.com.
As difficult as it has been for us to keep our doors open during this challenging time, those in healthcare are fighting an even bigger battle on the front lines for all of us so we're going to try to do what we can to give back to them.
This past week ending on Wednesday, April 15th, we had a "Get One Give One" special. For every pizza sold, we gave one to healthcare workers who are fighting for our communities. The program was a huge success and we'll now be donating 1,000 pizzas to our masked heroes at local hospitals around the Bay Area.
We're not done yet. Please help us keep the meals of gratitude going by donating to our GoFundMe to deliver more pizzas to healthcare workers. Every $10 donated will feed another masked hero on the front lines of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Hope you are all safe and healthy. We are still open here at The Olive Bar with CONTACT-LESS payment over the phone and FREE local deliveries also offering CURBSIDE PICK-UP at the store. We now are going beyond the Covid-19 guidelines and have purchased a steam machine to sterilize the store and products going out.
We thank you for your orders and the support.
The Olive Bar's current hours are:
Just received a restock in the one and only. If you don’t know, I promise you’re missing out... This stuff not only makes you smell and feel good, it will give your skin a beautiful glow ✨
Steepers has created a blend of herbs and called it 'Immunity'. All the ingredients purportedly strengthen the immune system (not evaluated by FDA):
echinacea, elder flowers, elderberries, lemon grass, peppermint, rose hip, milk thistle and a soupcon of green tea.
We enjoyed doing this fun and uplifting chalk challenge creating our mosaic of Downtown Campbell Water Tower.
So we challenge you to Show us your chalk art! ?
Thank you Flights Restaurant Campbell

Hi everyone, if you've wanted to help our businesses, but found it overwhelming to do something for everyone you wanted to help, we started a general fund on GoFundMe for Downtown Campbell merchants. You can pitch in any amount you wish and we'll figure out how to best distribute it amongst some of our most endangered storefronts. Please take a look at this if you can comfortably make a contribution. Thanks for your support!
This GoFundMe campaign is part of the Downtown Campbell Survival Project and any contribution of $25 or more gets you a couple of entries into a drawing for six gift cards.

Anxiety. Intense worries that you can’t control, those are cognitive distortions. They turn into panic attacks complete with heart palpitations, shaking, and or sweating. This can be debilitating for the person experiencing the anxiety, causing their quality of life to dwindle.
In this online workshop, The Big Fight: Conquering Anxiety, taught by Safira and presented by Boxing Strong on Instagram Live on April 22 at 6pm, you will learn how to identify your own thoughts, correct cognitive distortions, reclaim your power, and learn four tips for taking action when anxiety strikes in the moment. Learn about Safira here.
There is no quick fix for anxiety, and it may feel like an uphill battle. By gaining awareness of what causes your symptoms, you can manage them more quickly. You may find some of these suggestions will work for you right away and others may have no effect at all. The key to success is to keep trying.
