Amazing stationary store find! Great selection of paper products and journals and stickers. I've driven by this place multiple times but have never stopped in before and I'm really glad I did! Cute, colorful and whimsical shop. A little on the pricey side but high quality and good variety. The workers were very good at giving us space to wander and look at all the great paper goods! read more

Made a stop at Ink Paper Crafts on our way to Solvang when my sister found it online - the outside/location is very unassuming, but inside they have a great variety and selection of stationery items. It's not a huge store, but their inventory is great (my sister who's a stationery nerd recognized many known Japanese brands and said she could have shopped here for an hour or two if she had the chance). We got a mix of stickers, cards, and stamps. The store itself is also very aesthetically pleasing and well-organized. Wish we lived closer - would definitely stop by again next time we're in the area! read more

This little shop is jam-packed with so many fun and creative items for all ages. I can't believe it's been there for three years and I just found it this past week. Congratulations to owner Rebecca and her staff, Julia, Gina and McKenzie, on this outstanding store that helps inspire creativity in everyone. Whether you're and artist, a writer, or just someone who loves to discover their artistic side . . . this is the place for you. I recently discovered the world of Caligraphy and found this store while searching on Yelp. Rebecca was very helpful in explaining all the different choices of Caligraphy pens, inks, as well as other pens, pencils, stationery, and drawing pads. I was pretty overwhelmed with their selection of all those items and I am looking forward to exploring all the many options they have to offer. As I walked in to the store I was instantly drawn in to their specialty room of wrapping papers, gift bags, and ribbons. So much to choose from. And it's next to their area of Helium Balloons and tassels. The colors and styles of those balloons is incredible. Truly a party waiting to happen. Also enjoyed their selection of postcards and greeting cards, and candles, so many fun choices for any special occasion. And along with their selection of stickers for all occasions, it's a fun way to make any special occasion even more fun and festive. Definitely a one-stop shop for any and all types of celebrations. The store is located on State Street in the San Roque neighborhood at Ontare Road, right there between Vices & Spices and South Coast Deli, and they do have parking behind their building. p.s. Also looking forward to learning about and having fun with Washi Tape. read more

Love love love this place! Stopped by today with my husband on our way to Solvang. I honestly had analysis paralysis with their amazing items in stock. Very friendly team members! I settled with a plain hobonichi, a vinyl cover, and a sticker set to exhibit self restraint. I'm from OC but would definitely return when we're in the area! read more

Beautiful store, friendly customer service, wonderful variety of stationery items. The pen section is great. Love the whole vibe. You can tell that they care about quality and beauty. They have a wrapping paper area too. Loved how they encourage you to touch and try out their pens and notebooks. I will definitely come back when in the area. read more

What a wonderfully colorful, creative and inspiring store. If you are a lover of stationary from greeting cards, cute, sticky notes, a massive variety of pens and so much more. This is definitely the shop for you. The employees are super friendly, very helpful and kind. The store is beautifully decorated from the displays to the colorful paper walls. You can't walk in and not help but feel happy. They have so many different products they offer at a variety of price ranges. There are things that are very affordable and other things that are on the pricier side. Definitely a must stop when you are in the area. I can't wait to go back. read more

The people working were very attentive. The vibes were immaculate. The selection of papers, journals, pens, stickers, candles, etc was pretty decent. They even carry hobonichi products. The prices were comparable to any other vendor (think jet pens). read more

Allow me to set the scene: It's POURING rain, and I come in absolutely panicked. My wedding invitations, which I've spent MONTHS designing need to go out by end of day (because of course I waited until the last possible moment). I am finally getting them into their envelopes and what's this?? The adhesive isn't strong enough, the flaps are lifting! Cue the aforementioned panic. I call Ink Paper Crafts to see if they have washi tape. They do. Tons of it. It's not an ideal solution for my fancy invites but it will have to do. I jump in the car and get there an hour before closing, damp from the rain and -- let's be honest -- probably a little bit of sweat, wedding invite in hand. I'm trying to find a washi tape that will semi-match the vibe and then, like an angel sent from heaven, the owner walks up to me and says "I've got something better for you." She proceeds to introduce me to this magical tape dispenser that absolutely saved the day. And she wouldn't even let me pay her for it!! "My wedding gift to you," she said. I was stunned. It's been so long since I've had this experience shopping. You know how it is -- we're all buying everything on amazon and there's no warmth, no connection. Not only will I be a loyal Ink Paper Craft customer for LIFE but I also feel so motivated to keep shopping small business. This is what it's all about. Thank you to this amazing woman for making my day and helping me remember the most important thing of all -- kindness in key moments can change everything. read more

What a pleasure to come back to Ink Paper Crafts! After three years, this business is thriving! I love how the owner had created her own line of cards and stickers! She is now utilizing the whole space. There is even a glamorous mural. Very fun and colorful shop. Stopped in to purchase a birthday gift and found so many exciting treasures including notebooks, stickers, wax seal kits. Everything was very reasonably priced. The owner kindly gift wrapped the purchases . read more

The cutest, most perfectly curated, lovely stationary store I have ever been to (and I've been to many, especially in LA!). I love that there were so many Japanese stationery and art supplies! Not only do you get to see the products, you can test out a whole array of them from pens (regular and fountain), pencils, paper, watercolors, colored pencils, stamps, oil pastels, and so much more!! That was the best part for me. This store is a dream. I could live there forever and be happy. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful! Pricing was very reasonable as well. I hope one day the store can expand to the LA/San Gabriel Valley area :) read more

Fantastic stationary store with an incredible selection! I love that they have testers for almost everything. Lots of cool Japanese stationary that I haven't seen anywhere else. I ended up finding some interesting Pentel Metallic Brushes that I can't wait to play around with and some pretty washi tapes. I'm a Postcrosser so I especially loved their snail mail themed stamps and washitapes. Glad I made a pit stop on my long road trip. I plan to stop by again next time I'm in town. read more

Cute little store filled with mostly cards, gift supplies, and markers. And they have their own brand of stationery

Their 5 star rating is most definitely deserved. I stopped in on my way back home to San Diego. The staff was amazing, they really were great, and the inventory they've got there is quite something; I could've stayed for hours. After leaving I realized I had left something behind that I bought there. I called, they shipped it immediately for me and they jam packed the box with goodies which was such a great surprise. They really are great and I'll be sure to swing by whenever I'm in town. read more
