From “Ibiza Hippie Salad” to a hammock bar, Santa Cruz’s quirky downtown is sure to delight.
A wonderful execution of this hybrid shopping-imbibing model is, a bookstore and wine bar that opened in 2019. Why this particular combo? “For us, the marriage of books and wine is more a self-evidently good time than a concept. That’s the short answer,” says Jess LoPrete, who co-owns the business with Andrew Sivak.
The shop’s collection of 11,000-plus volumes was all carefully selected by hand and includes first editions and signed copies. Expect the books to lean toward the “wild, radical, design-minded and avant-garde” with dabblings into California culture and the occult, says LoPrete. Barceloneta is inspired by the beachside cuisine of Spain with dishes such as a serrano ham plate, smoked-salmon montaditos and boquerones with homemade potato chips.
