Puff Monkey Pop Culture Shop

I stopped to look in here after my visit to Friends café and found so many cute toys and gift ideas. They seem to have anything you could want in pop culture. I will definitely be back for Christmas presents for my kids.

They really have a lot of stuff. They can be pricey, but this place is great getting gifts for kids or geeky friends.
PARKING: Tons, it’s Monrovia

This place rocks! Right next door to friends café in old town Monrovia this cute little shop carries a large selection of Asian and hip fun stuff including hello kitty, mine craft to snoopy. Lots of cool little finds here. A great place to pick up a unusual Asian animé gift for a collector or a great place if you are. Fan of animé etc. friendly staff and reasonable prices.
Nicely merchandised product and a great window display. Unique and fun! Support your local little retailers especially this little gem of a store ones! Plus next door to a cool skate shop!

I like this place a’ight, but they close like… whenever they feel like it. If you look online for the times they close, it often doesnt match when they really do. The sales ppl are a bit aloof and will wave off customers a minute or 2 before real closing times. This is downtown Monrovia and the main drag is kind of hopping after 8 pm, and every other shop is open and welcoming, but Puff Monkey just calls it a night whenever the owner isnt feeling it. Also, most of the items are cheaper online. Stinks i WANT to like this place more.

way overpriced and ppl are rude. didn’t really feel welcome and has an awkward vibe, especially when there were only like 2 ppl in there
on the west side of the street on myrtle, can’t be missed. so you know where to avoid
forgot to add, the owners of this place is this shitbag named steve and his wife. steve is an insulting piece of shit, rude and backs away when being confronted about his attitude
small business with hard working ppl are fine, but not when the people are working hard to harass others. that isn’t something to be proud of, nor is it a place of business that should be supported.

The name of the store says it all. I noticed this store after coming out of the café next door. The first thing that caught my eye was their Star Wars display. Very cool, the kind of things one does not see at other gift shops. The store carries all kinds of goodies from Hello Kitty to DC. So I’ve been to this shop a couple of times and even the music they have playing lives up to the name of the store. They carry key chains, hoodies, shirts, phone cases and Pop Vinyl. This shop is worth a tour if you are looking for unique gifts.

Cute, but pricey.
They carry some of the higher end Hello Kitty merchandise that you can’t find at the Sanrio store.
They have a bunch of other random stuff here from Japan like erasers, figurines, playsets.
Cool store to browse especially if you’re there for the Friday Night Farmer’s market.

very cute store, cute merch but i have issues being a male with 2 sons. not too much selection for them. walking in on the right side of the store is where our main focus is.
like i said very cute, like hello kitty had explosive diarrhea in there.
definite stop when were in town.

This shop offers a lot of cute stuff. If you’re a fan of tokidoki then definitely come here. They have a lot of stuff relating to tokidoki… purses, bags, luggage and mini secret figures.
Besides Tokidoki, they also carry other cute things like mine crafts, hello kitty, minions, shirts, jackets, keychains, plushes, cellphone cases (mostly for iphones) and etc…
A little more on the expensive side and the girl that worked didn’t seem so welcoming…
I am a fan of Tokidoki so 4 stars because not that many places carry Tokidoki purses and accessories anymore… I was seriously excited to see so many Tokidoki stuff hehhe
Street Parking…90 minutes free =)

It’s a really cute store with a lot of cute loungefly items. Some rare items I’ve not seen except on the web. They carry jujube tokidoki bags. Tons of Sanrio items. Paul frank and more!
Worth a trip.

Lots of fun stuff!!!

A great new addition to downtown Monrovia. They have more than just Hello Kitty and products for girls. There are Japanese animation products and stuff for guys which you don’t see from the window so step inside. Lots of great stuff for all age ranges and for you ladies out there, you need to see the leather wallets and purses. I’m in there at least once a week because they’re always putting out new products. They’re prices and selection are better than going online and the best part is supporting a family owned business. I have met the owners, who are husband and wife. They are really great people and Kevin, who I see the most is really nice and knows all about the products.

I went to this store yesterday, on a date with my boyfriend. Everything in there is so cute. I was amazed with what the store carries. From Hello Kitty items you usually don’t see at Sanrio, Chococat, such cute items, phone cases, Hello Kitty wallet, handbags, earphone accessories and many many other products .
The lady that helped me was very friendly and helpful.
Every time I shopped at an Asian place their policy «No refunds» when I asked the lady what if my charger doesn’t work after a few days she said bring it back.
She made me feel very comfortable, I am so going back.

Noticed this shop open up near the end of 2012. It’s on the west side of Myrtle Ave just north of Lemon Ave.
What caught my eye was the pink display window with Hello Kitty. The closest Sanrio store to me is in the Westfield mall in Arcadia or on Rosemead Blvd in Temple City. This is no Sanrio though. Puff Monkey is a Japanese pop culture store (as it says in their name) They carry a lot more imported goods and even Disney items. They have stuff you won’t find in most stores, which also means the prices are a bit higher. They also have an online store
and you can browse all of their items.
Examples:
iPhone 5 cases = $ 15.00
HK piggy bank = $ 38.00
Rilakuma/​Korilakkuma stuffed animal = $ 30.00
HK bags run from $ 50-​$ 70
They have a lot of unique items and it’s always fun to stop by and see what new things they have. The last time I was here, we were playing with a Hello Kitty doll that turns into a TURKEY! hahahaha…

So awesome. Bought an adventure time jake beanie. So many cool toys.

Came here 2 week ends ago and found out from the owner that this place just opened up a few weeks before.
This place is a cute little place that reminds me of those Sanrio stores in the mall, but that they also sell Japanese Animé items and other cute cartoon characters like those cute little yellow minions from Despicable Me. They sell items including stuff animals, pens, pencils, key chains, figurines, purses, backpacks, necklaces, etc.
The prices for the items in this store seem to be a bit higher than I am willing to pay for though (but that is the typical price I’ve seen in these type of stores), but honestly anything from this store would probably make a cute gift for a little girl or boy (or adult who collects Animé or cartoon characters).
The owner told me that they are continuing to stock more items in their store because they are only half way stocked in their store (they also sell items online and ship nationwide).
By the way, there are coupons for this store in the local city magazine (worth checking out so you can save a few bucks).
Overall, cute little store to look at and browse. But pricing is your typical price you’d see in all those other cute little Asian stores that sells similar items.

This is a great new shop in the old town Monrovia area, they have amazing selection of Hello Kitty products anything from Hand Bags to a life size Hello Kitty Plush Doll. They also have a great selection of current trendy products from Adventure Time, Mine craft, Angry Birds Disney and TMNT. For Young Adluts they have collectibles like Pop Vinyl, Tokidoki, and Kidrobot products and many more.
