I go in with my 2 friends and we are browsing because we were waiting for the bus and had time to spare. We notice the bag policy so we place the bags behind the counter since we didn't have backpacks. First off, everything is closed off. Then that's when things start, they act as if they're stocking shelves or taking business calls but actually they're just following you. I'm all for catching shoplifters but they go to EXTREME lengths to catch people trying to steal. Honestly it's very weird and I don't know if they were profiling us but if they were that's a separate issue. We were going to buy something but as soon as we noticed they were pro trump and maga, everything made sense, so we just put everything back and grabbed our belongings and left. This place sucks and everything is cheap and overpriced.

Before the year comes to an end, I felt I had to write this review…read more Since moving to the United States, I had struggled to find a pen shop that truly felt right. Then, a few years ago, I discovered Flax Pen to Paper, and over several visits, I purchased fountain pens, notebooks, and inks from them. Every time I visited, I could genuinely feel how much they care about pens and paper. Their professionalism always made shopping there a pleasure. The staff are consistently kind, knowledgeable, and thoughtful, creating an environment where customers can take their time and truly enjoy pens and stationery. Thanks to them, I've had many genuinely happy experiences. One of the fountain pens I purchased, however, developed an issue with the nib. Because I live quite far away, I wasn't able to return right away. After quite some time had passed, I decided to visit again--honestly, with very modest expectations. That day, I was helped by the staff and Jeremy. Even though a significant amount of time had passed since my purchase, they warmly and generously offered an excellent solution. The experience was incredibly kind and heartfelt--completely different from anything I've encountered at other pen shops in the U.S. I felt both grateful and a little sorry for their generosity, and I couldn't bring myself to leave without purchasing a few notebooks and inks. So I bought some notebooks and inks. It was a very warm-hearted experience. Flax Pen to Paper is truly a wonderful place. I sincerely appreciate that they exist and continue to run this business with such care and integrity. The forecast says it's going to rain tomorrow, but I'll still be stopping by to buy my planner for next year--and I know I'll be coming back again and again. Flax Pen to Paper-- thank you so much for being here. I truly mean it. If you're looking for notebooks, pens, or stationery, look no further. This is the place you should go. Based on my years of experience, I can't recommend them highly enough. I truly love Flax Pen to Paper.

Never have seen her get so excited about her purchases... And all the customers that we saw inside the store were feeling the same excitement! Highly recommended for sure!
