    Background On Visit: Decided to take a gander at this small bookstore. Believe it or not, but there…read morewas a Yelp Elite event at this location but for a different business back in 2018. Credit Cards: They are accepted. Restroom: They have a unisex restroom. Location/Parking: Located in a alleyway in old town Monrovia between Lime Ave. and Lemon Ave on Myrtle Ave.. Parking can be found either in the shared public lots or along Myrtle Ave. Ambiance/Decor: Nice cozy ambiance with 6 or 7 small tables to sit/read/drink in the shop. Service: Service is great. The staffers are very nice and informative. If you don't see a book that you want to have, you can request it and just pay for the book when it arrives. Lastly, ask for cat stickers! Black Cat Fables For Thought: Wouldn't mind coming back to explore the shop while enjoy a cup of tea.

    A beautiful, charming neighborhood bookstore, nestled right in the heart of Monrovia. From the…read moremoment I walked in, I had a good feeling they will be my go-to cozy spot to get some reading done. They opened in October of 2024 and are proudly women-owned and operated. They are located behind the blue Moo Moo Mia Ice Cream shop, so they might be a little easy to miss, but I promise, once you find them, it's like stepping into a book lover's dream - tall bookshelves, colorful book titles, comfy seats, and cat themed! I have to spread the word to all of my cat-loving friends. I first heard about Black Cat Fables from my bestie, who is a Monrovia native. She even took me to attend one of their store events - their 2026 Vision Board planning event! We got to meet lovely neighborhood folks, and spent an hour dreaming up the year ahead and meet the store owner, Nicole, and their event planner, Mikayla, whom are both super sweet and friendly. After the event, I couldn't help but grab some beautiful bookmarks and a full collection book of the Jane Austen novels, which is now my next read and sitting beautifully, waiting for me on my bookshelf. They also have their own curated selection of beauty products, home decor, and not to mention, an adorable collection of bookmarks that I just can't resist. I'm a big fan! I am subscribed to their email newsletter and followed their socials to stay up to date, since I don't want to miss a thing from them. I can't wait to see what they have upcoming this year and continue to support them.

    The greater LA area used to be a haven for ethnic enclaves. With the decline of first generation…read moreimmigrants these vibrant cultures have been diminishing or at least shifting geographically. This gem is still located in the heart of the SGV. Thanks to the kind owners it remains an outlet for a different form of entertainment. Both English and Chinese manga are available, and custom orders can be made. There are quite a few series that are hidden gems, and the owners are very helpful with any questions. It's clean, organized, reasonably priced and even has a large meeting room for events for manga loving fans.

    I cant believe Ive passed by this place so many times without noticing it. Like most stores in my…read morearea, It is truly a hidden gem that serves the locals. Me and my gf stopped by after we noticed it while driving and we were appalled by the aesthetics of the store. You walk in and its like you just entered the secret store in an rpg. The store offers rental services as well as purchasing books. Most of the manga/comics are in Chinese, however, they are currently expanding their english catalogs. There is a sitting area with comfy chairs where you can read their manga like a library. The owner was very nice and welcoming. We chatted about things and the store has been in his ownership for about 6 months. I look forward to not having to drive all the way to LA just to buy manga.

They also have a section of their shop that is a library that you can borrow books from if you're looking to save money! I love the interior decoration- it feels very cute and cozy and overall they're a great place to find community and great books. I met one of the owners while I was there and he was very nice. I've been to a few events like a night market where they had local art, handmade sketchbooks, delicious tacos, and even a few tattoo artists! They have a lot of events here that they advertise on their IG. As of this review (March 2025), their hours are temporarily limited to Saturdays from 1-5pm, so definitely spend some of your Saturday supporting this local bookshop/lending library!

    I am so grateful that Matilija exists. This little community space is only open one day a week, but…read moreyou should definitely make it a priority to come here when they are open. The owners are very welcoming and the space itself is amazingly curated. It's very cozy with little trinkets and cool posters around. You always notice something new when you come again. They also have a good selection of books and artist produced goods. I love the stickers and cards/postcards you can get here. My girlfriend loves getting muji pens from here! Overall, I love Matilija and look forward to attending one of the events they host for the community!
