About Black Cat Curiosity Shoppe
Based on the reviews, Black Cat Curiosity Shoppe is a must-visit in Salem. It is a gorgeous store that feels like a museum and a mini-museum, with so much to see. There are many movie artifacts to look at, including a wand Johnny Depp used in Fantastic Beasts, a real prop from the set of Buffy (a stake), and a life size scarecrow from Howl's Moving Castle. The store has lots of unique mystery-style items and unique gifts to buy. The tea selection based upon the owner's cats is just cute, and customers are absolutely addicted, with favorites like Midnight Prowl and the Egyptian Cat flavor. The staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming. They are helpful without hovering, and one staff member even helped a customer set a pocket watch properly. The store is super cute with interesting decor, and there is even a throne/chair for a great photo opp. The "adoptable" plush black cats make an adorable souvenir. This shop is a fun and carefree experience and a MUST for every trip to Salem, supporting a small local business.

The workers are very kind and helpful. I highly recommend going on the ghostly night tours especially with Vin the fedora slayer. The shop and tour are very family friendly and fun.

I came here in off season and this was the best shop/museum ever. I got the best knick knacks and some delicious tea! I fell in love with a worker from here, no clue her name ðŸ˜but I bought everything she suggested. I could live in this shop!!! Can’t wait to go back!
