To classify Jones & Bones Unlimited as an eclectic shop would not do justice to the character of this long-established Capitola treasure. For more than 25 years it has been specializing in the simple service-oriented values that should define a locally owned and operated business. It has a diverse selection of unique home, gourmet and garden goods. It's really one of those shops that's at least worth a visit just to see what's in stock (and don't forget to say hi to Patches, the shop kitty). Before gourmet cooking was a reality-television phenomenon, Jones & Bones was a pioneer in the art of olive oil and balsamic vinegar tastings for the Bay Area. Since 1984 people have been able to refine their palettes at Jones & Bones with gourmet tastings of olive oil, balsamic vinegars, salts and sauces. The popularity of the shop has led to a widespread fan base known all over California and beyond. Publications such as Town & Country, Food & Wine, Cigar Afficianado and Wine Spectator have recognized the one-of-a-kind personality of Jones & Bones Unlimited.
