    This is a mini Barnes & Noble located in downtown Burlingame! It felt like a small local bookstore inside! It's very cozy and the selection seemed well curated! They even had a lot of books in the front that were 50% off as well as some last season (Christmas/Hanukkah) gifts! I also liked the selection of gifts and journals this store had. Everything looked so nice and I wanted to buy everything!

    Charming Barnes and Noble, smaller than most, that feels more like an independent bookstore than the usual Barnes location. Love their concept of going on a "blind date" with a mystery book (the cover covered in a brown bag with some hints) for the more adventurous reader. Lots on sale and a great section of memoirs. 5 stars!!!

    I could spend hours browsing around this store. They also have a complete array of stationeries, notebooks, writing instruments, etc. The San Bruno store is massive with more selections. Bought this amazing book and I can't put it down.

    We didn't realize there was this location on Burlingame Ave and made an impromptu stop inside.

    The ultimate spot to grab a gift for any occasion and also a lovely place to just browse!…read more I was in the area getting last minute groceries and decided to drop by since it's been awhile since I've been to a Therapy store. This is my second time here and the entire area used to be open to browse but looks like half the store is sectioned off. Nonetheless, there were still a variety of knickknacks and whimsical pieces, such as adorable stationary, cookbooks, funny pet items, stickers, a small selection of clothes, etc, at relatively reasonable prices. I've been to a couple of Therapy stores but this location definitely stands out: there are a lot more diverse options here. As always, I love the local custom items, like this jewelry dish I found that says "someone in San Bruno loves you". Extremely friendly and welcoming service. While I didn't purchase anything this time, I did notice that there were so many delightful baby gift options so I'll definitely be back to get something for a friend who is expecting in a couple months!

    This is the most amazing and dangerous store. Amazing because everything is adorable and it will…read moregive you cuteness aggression and dangerous because you'll want to buy everything I've been on some major retail therapy after my dog died and my husband and I randomly stopped by this store after lunch with the family. Jaya (sorry I might be getting your name wildly incorrect) was super helpful in guiding us through what is available in the store and sharing stories about the artists who've created many of the different items. Everything feels curated by the best tastemakers so all you need to do is walk in and see what you or someone you'd like to get something special for would like. It's obvious many of the books are also carefully and thoughtfully chosen and Jaya confirmed the owners are very intentional about what they include on the store shelves. I ended up buying 4 items of clothes and a wireless little table mushroom lamp. I was tempted by everything else including jewelry and a felt rainbow home decor thing. Money can't buy happiness and it can't replace my dog but these things have brought me some joy and therapy. We live in San Francisco so we're excited for the Mission location in SF as well after experiencing this amazing San Bruno store first!

    Alison at Paper Caper helped with my wedding invitations, as well as all of our day-of stationery…read more(programs, seating chart, various signs, etc), and I was in love with all of it. I love supporting local businesses, and Alison and Julie are lovely. My mom and I really enjoyed all of the time we spent with them at the shop (and we were sometimes there for hours!). Alison did a great job making sure that everything would be just as we wanted it... even if that meant some back and forth on possible changes "just to see." These ladies clearly enjoy their work and know their products inside and out, which was helpful, since there were times when we didn't know where to begin. There were a few moments when I was worried we wouldn't hit a deadline, but we always did, even if it meant that Alison was sending me emails and proofs for approval late at night. As others mentioned, email communication can be spotty at best, so I usually called or dropped in to the shop. Most importantly, I loved all of the stationery and paper at our wedding. It was all beautiful!

    Had some gift wrapping done and it turned out great. Beautiful. Cute little store and incredible…read morestaff, positive attitude, fun, etc. Only thing is wrapping was a bit expensive for me and overall was kind of a hassle between Ave parking for both pick up and drop off And coordinating around when they could get it done.
