A beautiful, full-of-character bookstore that I’ve loved since I moved into the neighbourhood and got the fifth Harry Potter book on release night. My nephew has been a THRILLED recipient of the book-a-month gift (iykyk - if you don’t know … ask). They are a beating heart of Mount Pleasant! They also have a sweet selection of books for adult readers to be tempted while tiny readers browse & pet Mabel. These people know books and know midtown, protect them at all costs!!!

Such an exceptional place. The staff is extremely kind and knowledgeable. It seems each employee knows (and has read) every book they carry! A great array of books, from baby and children books, to middle grade, to YA! They carry every genre, from fantasy to non-fiction to science. Mabel’s Fables also has a bunch of puzzles and fidget toys. And Mabel the cat is sweet and charming.

The world would be a poorer place without Mabel's Fables. This is one of the last true bookshops that understands what literature means in the life of a child. So grateful for Mabel's always!

They have a kitty, and the cat's name is Mabel. I mean it's a 5 stars from that alone!
But on top of that, the service is great, the people are super friendly and kind. I liked the layout of the shop a lot, it was grouped by ages and had a little holiday book section which was so great for present shopping! It made my life so much easier.

Mabel’s is one of the most incredible bookstores I know here in Toronto! a space full of colors and designed to take children into the imagination of books.The bookstore has books for babies, books for preschoolers, teenagers and much more, as well as some educational toys and stationery.In the outside area of the store there is a book donation bank and a space to lock bicycles. Next to the bookstore there are some paid parking lots and some paid covered parking. The location is close to several shops and bus stops and a few kilometers from the Egliton metro station.The store has two floors, the area below with books for babies and preschool children, toys, stationery and cashier service. At the top there are children's books, the bathroom and a space to sit.Unfortunately, the store is not accessible for users of wheelchairs and walkers, as the automatic opening door does not work and access to the upper floor is only via stairs.It's really worth getting to know and being enchanted by colors and a lot of imagination.
