The Midnight Library Cafe is a professional business venture to build a Victorian Gothic bookshop, cafe, and event space that feels like stepping directly into a haunted library. Founded in Los Angeles, California with dreams to expand beyond these realms.

At the heart of The Midnight Library is the sole desire to keep art, knowledge, and creation alive. Ethos that we hope resonate with literary, horror, and gothic pop-culture enthusiasts.

TML will be Latina owned and operated, with the goal of bringing representation into the space.

As the Founder/Owner, I know my community and culture well. A life-long fan of literature and Goth culture, I will bring the authenticity and knowledge that this community values at it's core. In addition, with a 15+ year background in Business Operations and Marketing both for Global Gothic brands (BlackCraft), and a background in the Entertainment/Music industry (Warner Music Group, BuzzFeed), I will bring my experience to effectively run the business.

If you wish to help bring this vision to life, please consider a donation. Any amount helps toward a small business finding it's footing-- and is greatly appreciated.

TML aims to give like-minded people a place to gather over a carefully curated menu and collection of books. Our cafe will transport visitors into a fantastical world with moody ambiance and classic dark interiors. It will be a themed cafe, from the decor, to the menu, to literature and merchandise available for purchase. The Library collection will fall within Gothic, horror, true crime, fantasy, dark romance categories.

We hope to see you in the future at The Midnight Library.
