I really liked the handmade papers (and bought some for future projects). There's also a side room where they do art classes. I found more info on their online calendar and found a series as well as an every Monday class. I was also happy to learn this is an independently owned local store. And the staff were nice!

I was surprised to find they had a really great selection of embroidery floss. They had a lot of materials for different types of projects and many areas that gave good inspiration on trying new art forms. They also do custom framing. The front area and by the register also had fun gift ideas and trinkets. And there's a huge selection of Monster spray paint.

If you love to do art , then this is a good place for you to visit. I like that is right next to the campus, and ready to park and or walk to, I haven't asked for service but they have been kind to offer. It's a bit pricey, but quality is, so no complaints.

I don't leave near this place so I won't go back. Once I got home I realized a-lot of the things that had been prices at 50% like spring or home decor weren't given to all of my items. In fact on one of my spring items the tag said $7.99 original price so my sale price would have been 3.99 right? Well come to find out they rang it wrong at 14.99 and then gave me the 50% deal which brought it to 7.50 So disappointing. I paid over $150 PLEASE PAY ATTENTION AT THE REGISTER. THEY ARE OLD SCHOOL SO EVERYTHING IS ENTERED MANUALLY; NOTHING IS SCANNED AND THEREFORE YOU WONT GET ALL THE SALES IF TOU DONT PAY ATTENTION

This location is famous for having mile longs lines and "managers" standing around talking. I've…read moreasked on various occasions for them to assist with checkout but there is always a reason they can't. I feel sorry for the rest of the employees. There is not ONE time I've shopped here without at least one, but multiple items being overcharged - which, after viewing other reviews on sites, seems to be by design here. Only pro is it's closer than some of the locations and selection is decent.

They also have a lot of frame types i wasn't even aware existed, like specifically for stretched canvas, etc. And actually I do have a canvas in need!

Some of the staff that have been there a long time, are SO rude and actually just mean. And it starts at the top- the manager Stevie is incredibly rude and mean! They do not help you and they tried very hard today to over charge me. I had to correct them 3 times! I left today saying "I would rather pay 3 times the price than to ever return to this store'! I did a quick search and found out Jerry's just opened a second store very close to me! They opened 3 days ago! Funny how things work out, isn't it? So if you are looking for art supplies, head to the new Jerry's at Tatum & Thunderbird in Phoenix! Casey and the store manager Rod would love to have your business. Avoid the Tempe store no matter what- they are terrible people!

I went in hoping for a little creative spark and instead just kind of wandered around like... is this it? That said, credit where it's due. they came THROUGH with terracotta pots. Small, basic selection, the cheapest I've found around, which saved the entire trip. So yeah, not exciting, but weirdly reliable if you're going for 10" or less terra cotta pots.

Some things are little pricey compared to online stores but that is just the norm. Stores beyond super neat and clean no pushy staff for sales.

We have been ordering from Blick's online website for years…read more This is our first time in an actual store, but we came away impressed. The Art supplies business seems like a difficult one to be in. But Blick's quality and wide selection, makes them hard to beat. They run sales occasionally, which depending upon our timeing, can be a decent opportunity to get things at a reasonable price. Service here was friendly and knowledgeable. Today, we came away down forty bucks or so. Probably the cheapest we've spent in a long time. LOL. But if you are into paint supplies, paper, oils and watercolors, they're the only game in town.

wildlingstoys is a boutique toy store that sells educational and developmentally centered toys…read more It's a small shop but it's packed full of goodies. Shelves are arranged by suggested age to make shopping easier. We went in for three gifts for varying ages and found some unique items, which is why we were avoiding big box stores and online shopping. My favorites were found actually by my 7 year old for a 1 year old friend and a 2 year old friend. @slumberkins has a line of stuffies, with matching books, that guides through emotional intelligence. Although we picked them by which stuffies were our favorites, they each had a great lesson: building connections and a growth mindset. I also grabbed a matching set of positive affirmation cards for kids. Great find! To top it off, the team member asked if these were each gifts and then put them each in a nice gift bag with matching tissue paper. What a wonderful and unexpected surprise! Wildlings Toy Boutique is located near Bethany Home and 16th st and is right next to Cafe Mollie, and across the street from Luci's Market (so stop by for some caffeine and a treat).

When my grandson liked WW2 planes the person (I don't want to say salesman since there was absolutely no pressure or upselling) explained the different types of planes. Also he recommended which ones for a beginner modeler based on size and number of parts. Very helpful. Plus I called for a question when he started painting. The question was answered right away without having to be transferred to another person. So very helpful in that store. I'd like to also click on value but they only let me select service and selection.

I visited Hobby Bench today around 4:20 p.m. and had a very disappointing experience with an…read moreemployee named Frank. I had interacted with him before and found his attitude unprofessional, and today's visit left me feeling the same way. Throughout my visit, I felt like I was being treated as an inconvenience. When it came time to bag my purchases, Frank said that it wasn't his job. His tone and attitude made me feel unwelcome instead of appreciated as a paying customer. I expect basic courtesy and respectful service. Based on this experience, I will not be returning to this location while Frank continues to work there. I hope management takes this feedback seriously and addresses how customers are treated.

What a WONDERFUL team! I came in 30 minutes before closing, late for a party, with a PILE of gifts,…read morefor a friend that was leaving town. It was a high stakes do or die wrapping emergency :). Ms. Haley, and Ms. Melissa, were just fantastic. They helped me just absolutely whirlwind a stack of gifts. Im sure they had other work that needed to be done before closing, they were patient and kind and incredibly efficient, and didn't make me feel like a bother or rude even though it was so close to closing. And took me thought a whole wrapping design concept, to make sure everything matched inside and out. As a shopper, who failed to plan ahead, I knew that the store had other responsibilities aside from my "I need this wrapped RIGHT now" situation. And halfway through my wrapping a flurry of customers came in the store, I didn't make any comments, it would have been TOTALLY reasonable for Haley and Melissa to politely tell me "Sir we close in 15 minutes and have 10 other customers, you can pick this up first thing in the morning." But they didn't leave me hanging, their communication and teamwork together was stellar; one would tag out help customers, make sure that they had a good experience, while the other attended to me; then if someone else needed help, one would leave the wrapping table while the other moved in seamlessly - to make sure my deadline was met. They still took the time to give attention to any small details, like cutting tails in the ribbon or making sure my gifts had nice tags; even though they were under the clock. They worked quickly without working hastily, it was efficient not rushed. I watched these two women set a wrapping design/speed record, while attending to 6-8 other active customers. Everyone was happy, laughing together, no one felt like I was getting prioritized and I didn't feel like I got pushed to the bottom of the importance list. Because of their skill, effort, and kindness I was able to make my event on time and share a few special last moments of heartfelt gift giving with one of my closest friends before his move. These two woman completed the amount of work of 4 staff members without breaking a sweat, with a smile on their face. This is my new go to store, and Paper Source is very lucky to have them both.
