Gold Leaf Stationers on Amsterdam between 89/90 has FANTASTIC kids' board games, toys, stickers, activity books, craft kits, crafting supplies, art supplies, etc etc...l've always been a fan and bought journals and art stuff there for years, but when went in last week, they'd upped their kids stuff game a shocking amount (and it had always been good). Really good brands and things you don't see often around here. I miss West Side Kids dearly but this selection (while not entirely the same stuff) came very close. It would be such a good place to go for gifting or assembling little favor bags or a rainy day activity etc. They also have adult planners, greeting cards, serious real art and crafting supplies for adults, adult board and card games, and lots of little cute gifts for adults. Of course massive bonus points for being truly local with the same people/owner working there for years and years! We need to keep the local gems in business now more than ever! I was so dazzled that I was moved to pass on the recommendation! read more

Incredible depth of choices, all quality. Warm, polite knowledgeable staff. Glad to see a neighborhood store survive on the Upper West Side. read more

This ia a great local neighborhood store with a wide range of goods from stationary to art supplies to toys to frames.

Old school stationary, so lovely to see things in person, cool notebooks, cards, gifts, practical office supplies. Support local small Business! read more

Such a broad selection for a little store! I now buy all my greeting cards and little gifts there. And -- the man who runs it is a notary!

I don't buy much, and I try to shop secondhand. But I find myself trying to think of new items I need just so I can patronize Gold Leaf. They have a delightful selection, and the store is a pleasure to browse in. I've bought games, gifts, greeting cards and planners there (they stock the Manhattan Diary, for any devotees out there). The staff is friendly. I've sent friends here, too, when they were searching for a good gift shop. read more

I love this place. They always have what I need! Lots of great stationery / office supply options, and I really appreciate the full range of art supplies. The staff is super sweet as well. read more

Wonderful, local stationary, crafts, and frame store. We had a custom made kettubah that we wanted custom framed, and the owner was so knowledgeable about the art work, frame suggestions, quality, and all. Incredibly helpful and kind, and very fairly priced. It turned out beautifully!! Highly recommend this gem. read more

The best, so helpful and passionate about their business. Well stocked. Also a notary for these who need that.

Good for pens, art supplies and general stationary. Not good for teams of paper and card stock. Any large quantities you have to find another place. But the customer service is very good at helping figure out what you need. read more

Old fashioned stationery store. I wanted to buy a chess set for a child that was home sick with COVID. Called all the toys stores on UWS, and this was the only guy who had it and saved it for me ( I offered to pay over the phone but they said no need; they would save it for me! Better than Amazon! read more

This place is a GOLDMINE!!! Pastille is the sweetest and so helpful, as well. There's everything you need here--I prefer to shop locally and I went to three other spots and Magpie recommended Gold Leaf (it's so great local recommending local!!) to continue my hunt for a journal... Gold Leaf had several options, but I eventually decided on 'the one' and I couldn't be happier. Please go here for any paper, pen, craft, game, etc need!!!!! read more

They have a surprisingly large selection of art supplies and gifts, like puzzles and kits, along with the expected office supplies. They also have a framer there on site but I have not used them yet. They have been in the neighborhood for years and have saved me many times when I have run out of ink or paper. I buy all I can from them over the local Staples as I try to support small businesses and they have some unusual and cool items for gifting- including a nice selection of stickers. Plus, the owners/staff are very nice! read more

This is a great shop with the nicest owners-true gentlemen.. I've been going for years-my kids loved getting school supplies there. I only shop there for these products and they do a nice framing job. Highly recommend. read more

Seems to be few stores like this left in NYC - the kind of store that sells specialty appointment books, notebooks of all types and colors, and all kinds of writing aids. Looking, touching, comparing all the items until finding the exact one for your task is so satisfying in this small store filled with supplies. It provides the implements you need to make whatever writing or organizing you're undertaking, pleasurable. read more

This store is run by a true gentleman who knows both his customers and his stock. He is honest and reliable (which is why I say he is a gentleman) and a businessman. In other words he keeps his word and delivers as promised. In a world where too often customer service is inattentive and impolite, it is a pleasure to shop here. read more

This is the most fabulous UWS stationery store. You cannot find a small store with caring owners. Gold Leaf epitomizes this I broke my elbow and had to work from home. I needed cartridges for my printer. The owner was so kind as to close his store and hand deliver to me. In this day and agr you simply do not find this type of hands on service. So kind and caring. So efficient The rents are so high and more and more stores are closing. We MUST. Support our local merchants particularly one that goes the extra mile. I am very thankful read more

What a great store, wonderful service and high quality products. The staff were very friendly and attentive to my needs. read more

Great place to get art and school supplies (notebooks, pens, pencils, Sharpies, envelopes, padded mailers, etc.). They have poster boards in many colors and sizes. They also have art projects and games for kid. read more

See all

I'd argue the price categorization on Yelp is deeply flawed. While the average price of items in this store may be higher than your average CVS card aisle, it's selling much higher-quality items at really appealing prices. I stop by all the time to check for non-stationary items such as magnets and games that I give as gifts. Staff and owner are really helpful, friendly, not pushy. Gem of a store. read more

Love this store! One reviewer said it was like a Staples store couldn't disagree more! They have small and International brands that Staple's doesn't carry! It is more like a stationary art store combined! Always stop in when I walk by even if I don't need anything! One of the few Mom N' Pop stores left uptown! read more

One of the few great stationary shops uptown that hasn't closed. Yes, you can get it all on line but for those of us who like to browse, compare and find just the right appointment book, notepads, etc, it's a joy to go to. They have a good selection and I've yet to leave without what I was looking for. I just hope they don't have to close their doors anytime in the near future. read more

A cute, though small-ish, old fashioned stationery store. I could go wild here buying markers, notepads, gift wraps, tiny kitschy gifts, etc. read more

I live in between Gold Leaf Stationaries and Michael's Arts and Crafts store. Twice now, I have gone to Michaels for something, realized the line was wrapped around the store with only 2 cashiers open, then darted immediately for gold leaf. The had the items I needed, were comparably priced, and there is never a wait to check out. Now I just go to gold leaf first. They are always friendly and helpful and have a great selection of art supplies, office, stationary, and school supplies. read more

Why go to Staples and wander the store with little, if any, sales help, when you can get personalized attention and most everything you need at this stationary store in the way of school, office and stationary supplies. The quality of the arts supplies is also excellent. This family owned business is a little jewel. read more

As a teacher, I feel blessed to have this store in the neighborhood. The staff is knowledgeable and so kind and patient . They will help you with every need, and their selection of pens, pencils, notebooks, cards, etc. is beyond wonderful. I go in here for "staples" (teacher planners and rosters), and end up buying so many fun and beautiful items. This is a neighborhood gem, and a real rarity in NY these days. read more

An old fashioned, family run, well stocked, old fashioned stationary store. What a relief from the Staples, Michaels, etc. They have a diverse stock, no schlock, and nice brands. read more

Friendly service but not what I was expecting. I wanted a nice card store and the ones I go to were too far to battle in the cold and so I settled for this one. This is a like a Staples more than a stationary store. Picked up two cards I needed but nothing special about them. Service with a smile so that always helps! read more

Great neighborhood shop! I make a point to patronize it rather than Staples or Office Depot since businesses like this one are sadly becoming extinct. The staff are friendly, courteous & they go out of their way to assist customers. Five stars! read more

I've always made a point of coming here for any needs, but especially for art supplies they can't be beat. They've got a great selection of general supplies and despite its size, you'll find a great selection of whatever you're looking for especially by way of quality. read more

I highly recommend Gold Leaf Stationers for business cards. The gentleman who helped me was extremely professional and took his time with me to ensure that we got all aspects of the card's font, spacing, paper stock, etc. right. The final product was exactly what I wanted, they delivered the cards to me free of charge and the staff could not have been nicer! I agree with the other reviews here - this is a gem of a store. read more

A little gem - this little shop is crammed with office supplies, stationary papers, art supplies, pens, etc. They offer a surprising diversity and selection of items for such a teeny place. Thumbs up for being a one-stop shop and keeping small businesses on the UWS. read more

If you're looking for stationery, school supplies, art supplies, etc., this is a really great location for those things. If you are looking for greeting cards, letterpress materials, etc, this is *not* a great place. That's what I came here to find, and even though I found a pretty paltry selection, I can't punish the business for my expectations. The staff was REALLY helpful, REALLY friendly, and this place really does seem like a treasure trove of delicious tools used to CREATE!!! So, create away, my friends. I am in full support. read more

I highly recommend this store. Great paper products and art supplies. They also have a full-time notary, which is super convenient. I don't know how they fit so many unique items in this store, but they do. And, the staff is always so nice and helpful. read more

I always try to go here for paper, stickers, pens, kids arts and crafts stuff, etc. Very happy to support a small UWS business rather than Staples. read more

Gold Leaf Stationers is an oasis of art and school supplies on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and includes a notary public who can save your rainy day just before that 6 p.m. deadline. Five star service and friendly, too. read more

honest price weekend notary I went to a bank but the notary was out .. the person at the UPS store was in only 2x a week and a mobile notary was over 135$ read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the store. I went in expecting stationary, but found so much more! Fine art supplies, office supplies, kids crafts, stickers and more. I got everything I needed and a little bit more too! Definitely will be making this my go-to neighborhood stationery and art/craft supply store. read more

Stocked with all sorts of paper and goodies you don't easily find elsewhere. Love that it's a family run store, too. Check it out.

Great little shop. Has Lamy pens and refills. Colored pencils and watercolor crayons in useful metal tins. Also quality kids activities - magnet paper dolls etc. Perfect place to stop in before getting on an airplane with a small child. read more
