If you're looking for an independent bookstore in Elgin, Black Cat Books is absolutely worth a visit. I stopped in after seeing a Facebook post that they had recently opened, and I'm so glad I did! The owner and staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

★★★★★ Lindsay, Jul 2026

Great bookstore! The staff were very helpful and easy to talk to. They gave great recommendations on books. They also have a community puzzle to work on and a nice sitting space. They sell puzzles, books, comic books and store merch and I had an amazing shopping experience there.
