Review from Jyotsna M.

This place is great! In addition to the great selection of magazines described by the first reviewer, they have a great selection of greeting cards. They are pricy - $4-$5 each, but they are creative, different, and often times hilarious.
I've only lived in Ottawa for about 6 weeks, and I've already bought 5 cards from here. I can spend an uneccesarily long amount of time in such a tiny store.
Check it out! -

This place reminds me of a lot of magazine shops around where I grew up. They have a fantastic selection of magazines and the staff has always been super friendly and helpful when I'm looking for the odd magazine.
I was surprised they didn't have a large cooler of drinks but they do have a selection of cigars and cigarettes.
The window is updated regularly and they do catch my eye luring me to walk in and browse! It's a great part of Elgin St and I wish more neighbourhoods in Ottawa had a store like this. Maybe they do and I just haven't come across them yet. -

Although I'm no fags expert, I must say their selection of mags is pretty sweet.
It's also a really great place to pick up that last minute birthday card you forgot you needed as you head to the bar to meet friends. They have some of the most unique cards.
Their magazine window display also adds to the flavour of Elgin Street. -

Fantastic selection of mags and an equally excellent selection of fags.
In addition to the above, they have a small assortment of humorous items (greeting cards, trinkets, etc). They also carry the Monster Factory stuffed animals. I like giving these little guys to women as gifts because it contributes to a willingness on their part to let me in their pants. Because I'm thoughtful and provide them with a unique and adorable stuffed creature.
In conclusion, Mags & Fags is a store. -

This is by far the best selection of magazines in Ottawa that I have come across.
It's been an institution in the city for what seems like forever but they're still around because if you're looking for something, no matter how obscure, they seem to have it.
The magazines are arranged by category and they cover everything from the home to computing, finance, fashion, celebs and pets and seem to come from every part of the globe. They also have all the major newspapers including a cross section of not so top-of-mind Canadian cities like North Bay.
I was there looking for a particular title and although they didn't have it in stock they were going to be ordering it and the salesperson told me the exact day in which I would be able to find it in store which was quite impressive.
All that said, whether you're looking for something niche or mainstream Mag & Fags seems to have it all!
