Lovely stationery store! Good front space, but it actually is a fairly deep store filled with…read morestationery goods, toys, plushes, puzzles, lovely decorations, etc. I actually like that all of the stuff that the older kids (adults) would want are closer to the front, while things for smaller kids are in the back. It sort of helps keeping an eye on the kids to make sure they're in a certain area. Nice! They have a nice selection of fountain pens, including Kaweco, Sailor, Pilot. Tempted on some of the Sailor pens, but I ended up getting another Kaweco pen with an inverter. They also have inks, of course. Loved the selection of Jellycats and Amuseables. I didn't end up getting any (this time around), but we'll see. Lots of great fun quality gifts you can get at this store. The staff was great! One specific employee helped me out the most, and was able to find me the last of the stock of the specific pen I wanted, and answered all of the questions that hubby and I had. Very appreciative of her kindness. Prices were fair. Across the street is Buchan (another stationery store), but their selection of pens/inks are slightly different. Would come back.

I'm glad to find this store. Kinda life savor for me. In Japan, when you find a RIGHT pen, we…read morechange the ink refill after otiginal one ran out and use the pen for long.

She deals with mostly invitations and personal stationery herself, but for me, my designs for gift certificates and special promo items for my business clients could never be made by anyone else.

My favorite vendor for years now - I'll follow you to Langley or anywhere else you go!

They make their own pockets and folding cards which are like envelopments but better (and cheaper) and they have more envelope mixing and matching options too. Make sure you order well in advance if you need a volume of something for your wedding as many things are made to order. I also like the vibe here, they definitely aren't an in-your-face tulle filled wedding store. (Low gag-factor).

While wandering around Vancouver, I spotted this shop and stopped in. It's a clean and well organized store. The staff is friendly. I asked if there was anything fountain pen related that was unique to Vancouver, and they said not really. However, they do have this ink that was made specifically for this store, and this store alone. So that's what I got! It was about 20 bucks.

The Pen Shop has a nice selection and over a range of cheap to affordable to maybe I need a payment plan. Store staff were helpful, non-intrusive, and funny. I ended up with a $9 Caran d'Ache ballpoint and an $10 Shaeffer ballpoint. Both are handy pens that work well, and didn't raise any Gayle alarm bells when I decided to buy them. The more expensive pens sometimes need to bought with a little more discretion. :)

I couldn't read the sign before to review on the store, but this store is fantastic! Rice crackers,…read moresauces, mixes, Japanese rice, cold beverages, chocolates are just a few items I've picked up. They also have a card/ toy section. What stands out is from this store is, all the snacks are not the normal ones you can get from TnT, Fujiya. It's not the largest store with the most variety but it has unique products. Prices are also more competitive than the other Japanese stores. Btw, they have discounted items that are near expiring that is crazy excellent pricing and I've never had an issue with. Free street parking on the front, next to a salon, and a sports racquet store.

From the owner: We are selling imported Japanese Foods, Snacks, daily use, and toys for entertain you.read more

There is scrap paper, letterhead paper and even envelopes. There's even tea! How wonderful.

What a cute shop!…read more This is a bit of a belated post, as we visited back in August. BUT, I wanted to delay the review because we ended up using one of their fun services, and I wanted to make sure we received the product in the end. So, hubby and I were casually walking down this street to window-shop, and noticed this shop (there's also a chance that hubby notated this shop down in his notes because they sell stationery, and we love stationery, sooo, there's that possibility). Walked in, was warmly greeted, and we perused what they had. Lots of creative juices flowing in there and great inspiration for one to take some of their stuff to create your own artistic visions. The main item that we did with them was to send a postcard back to ourselves, but sort of by "telegraph" (the postal service). We actually wrote out the postcard to our future selves, and they typed it out on a real typewriter, pasted it nicely onto the wooden postcard, and shipped it out to us internationally. We got it around two weeks later (Vancouver to California), and it was packaged in a nice padded brown envelope so it wasn't damaged along the way. It's now sitting on one of our travel/memento shelves! Would love to make another visit whenever we come back to Vancouver. Seriously, whenever there's a fun or unique service/experience, it's so nice to try it out; it's a gift for your future selves!

According to other Yelpers, he seems to always be well-dressed. He also has a cute pet daschund who walks around the store. I love their tea selections here. My favorite is the Chocolate Strawberry tea bags in a tin can. I love loose leaf teas more, but I'm pretty lazy with cleaning out loose leaf teas, so I tend to get the tea cans with the tea bags. I alao enjoy browsing their soap, bath and skincare area. I love their Lollia and Tokyo Milk lotions, especially Tokyo Milk's "Rose", "Honey Moon" and "Let them Eat Cake" handcreams. Although a bit on the pricey side, this is my to-go to store for teas. The teas have strong great flavor, not like the weak tasting tea bags you get at grocery stores. I also like that there are no pushy sellers like the commission-hungry staff at Teavana, and the atmosphere at David's Tea stores feels minimal and cold. Nikaido feels so warm and friendly whenever I visit, and the staff leave me alone to browse for as long as I like. I highly recommend this boutique for tea lovers. You won't be disappointed!
