Supporting Your Local Merchants Supports Your Community

With the holidays fast approaching, the race is on to get into the holiday shopping spirit. You could stay home and shop on-line in your bathrobe or … think, “What better place to shop than Montrose?”

A first choice might be starting your day off at the famous Black Cow Café. With their coffee bar open every morning at 6 a.m., Black Cow offers gourmet coffees, pastries, and desserts, or a full meal at lunch or dinner with salads, sandwiches, burgers and more.

After a hearty meal, a quick stop at Andre’s Professional Tailoring to drop the dry cleaning off. Andre has been hard at work in Montrose for over 30 years servicing your wardrobe repair and dry cleaning needs.

From there one might take a walk down the block to Tom’s Toys to buy gifts for the little ones. A staple in Montrose, Tom’s Toys just celebrated its 50th anniversary providing many great memories and service to customers over the years. The store is well-stocked with a large variety of goods from toddler to teen.

Lastly get a gift for yourself at none other than J’adore Boutique. Offering a variety of chic, Parisian and contemporary clothing, J’adore tailors to the fashionable women in the Crescenta Valley.

The best part about shopping in Montrose is that all the money spent stays local in the community. When the community thrives, we all thrive. If you happen to be shopping on a Sunday, head into the Montrose Harvest Market. This week features new crops of succulent strawberries, oyster mushrooms and a crowd favorite … garlic!
