There are plenty of pens, notebooks, fountain pen ink, it's an endless stationary heaven. It's awesome because you can try out all the pens they have and even test out fountain pen ink. I had so much fun testing out some pens, and swatching fountain pen ink. For fountain pen ink, they have organized binders for swatched ink, which is so helpful because there is so much to choose from! I could stay in that store forever. I ended up buying two fountain pen inks, which I love so much and use in my journal. The quality of their products are amazing and i'm already planning to come back very soon :)

From the store logo, to much of the patterns and designs on the stationery and household items that one might find in a cozy writing desk nook, cat inspiration is the theme in this store. You can find cat greeting cards, notebooks, stickers, ink stamps, postcards, memo notes, letterhead, tea towels, and store merch, as well as other products like candles, ink, washi tape, coasters, etc. The store itself is quite tiny like other reviews have mentioned, it gets crowded when there are more than 7-8 customers shopping at the same time.

The woman behind the counter was very helpful in trying to assist me with finding something, and she even suggested some other stationary stores in the area too. I could tell she really cared about my shopping experience, and she was very knowledgeable. Well, despite her recommendations, I returned to Yours Truly days later and purchased some things from there. It just had more of what I was looking for, and I was more than happy to give the woman the business. Overall, it's a great stationary store to check out whilst in Brooklyn!

Cute, odd little shop. I guess I read it as more of a gift shop, whereas it is much more a…read morestationery store with greeting cards and some gift-ish or gift-adjacent ephemera. Their heaviest area of product seems to be greeting cards and wrapping paper along with pens, paper, post-its and other desk-type stationery. Staff is kind and product quality seems fine, although you will pay for that quality--that quirky card or small swatch of bespoke wrapping paper will be in the $7-10 range. Felt like the kind of shop I would normally adore, but I keep stopping in and leaving with nothing. It is incredibly niche for people interested in special or unique or bespoke products--and I do love them for that, it feels like the Brooklyn way, and I love that we have these bespoke shops for some people. This one is just a smidge too fancy and impractical and pricey for me.

First, she didn't know the price of the item I wanted to purchase, she said she only works there and that the owner wasn't available at the time, because SHE was at a funeral. Then she gave me a price, but she didn't allow me to inspect the item closely, she said it can't be taken down from the window before Christmas. I went there again after Christmas and she said it can only be discounted 20%, but again, she would not let me inspect it. At that time, she said, she is a manager of the store and that owners are three man, the lady who was at a funeral was also a manager, not an owner of the store. Today, the item I wanted to purchase was still displayed on the window, and she lied that it was already sold, refusing to sell it to me. She was very rude and told me to get out of HER STORE, stating that she is the owner. This person by the name of Christine should not be manager of anything! She can take her whole store to her own home, because we - the residents of Bay Ridge don't need her NASTY ATTITUDE and lies! I will file a lawsuit against the store, and if she is the real owner, she will have to answer in Court, if not, I urge the owners to fire her, or they will be responsible for her nasty and discriminatory attitude!
