Located adjacent to the heart of FiDi (that's the financial district for angelenos like me), the Moleskine store is a stationery lover's dream come true. Their large hardcover notebooks are absolutely my preferred medium for journaling, and it's such fun seeing them laid out. To the right of the space you have the pens, backpacks, and sale section; to the left, planners, and two aisles in the center with artist supplies and limited edition releases. Writing is a wonderfully sensory experience, so it's lovely to have floor samples out for you to touch and experience before you commit. They also carry their line of smart notetaking tools in the front of the store (which I wish were sold separately, but that's a separate conversation). Alex, the store manager, is passionate about Moleskine and is happy to explain the different kinds of customizations available. In one of my two visits during my work trip, he was diligently working on embossing a custom logo with iridescent foil to a corporate order - very neat! This is a great option for teams looking for branded gear. I think most know this, but while Moleskine is one of higher quality stationers, their prices often reflect this. However, if you are an avid/regular notetaker you will find it well worth your while. Personally, I love the collaboration with Kaweco pens - managed to snag the final Lord of the Rings ballpoint; sorry if anyone had their sights set on that, haha. Couldn't help but also come home with the Casa Battlo notebook (discounted!) as well as the limited edition Legolas/Gimli journal, which I haven't seen in bookstores. read more

Very cute shop. My wife and daughter went crazy in the clearance section with the peanuts themed moleskines.

They keep the door locked when they are open because they are afraid of unhoused people, which is very lame to me as someone who works in homeless services in the Tenderloin. They have almost no choices of pens for a stationery store. I'm sure you could get a better price on Amazon, so literally what is the point of this store other than to inflate the ego of the corporate knucklehead who thought it would be good "brand awareness" to put this store in a tourist district? read more

First time at a standalone Moleskine store! They had every size, colour and type of Moleskine books you could want. And also all other product offerings as well like bags, cases and even customizable accessories and service to do in-house print of monogram/words on your purchased book. They have all the partnership/collab books as well like Le Petite Prince, Star Wars , etc. Prices are at regular levels here, no sales were spotted during my late December visit. They did have some beautiful gift sets here that you can't find any where else. Which are lovely gift ideas for stationery/paper lovers in your life! There were 2 staff members present during my visit, and one of them very quickly came to greet my friends and I as soon as we entered. read more

This store is located at the Palace Hotel. It is a very relaxed shopping experience. The staff leaves you alone to browse. Doors are locked because of the neighborhood which is understood. Product is beautiful. Staff is friendly. read more

I love using Moleskine for my sketchbooks and journals! They are perfect for bringing along as they are really sturdy but light and easy to transport. I also love that they look beautiful as a catalog once you've finished them. I've gone through SO many of the sketchbooks, logbooks, and lined journals and think they're just gorgeous sitting on my bookshelf for referencing after I've finished them. They also make a great gift and in my opinion are a great value for the cost! The staff at the SF Moleskine is first class. Very knowledgeable but not overwhelming. Everytime I have a question they know exactly how to answer it. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for some nice quality notebooks, planners, or specialty journals. Also honorable mention for all the special editions! I really hope they continue to bring out those types of collabs and expand their stationery assortment beyond just the timeless journals they have:) read more

Moleskine - A small portion of my collection - Cards & Stationery Near Me - San Francisco, California

...the colour and the shape----foo fighters I love Moleskine notebooks. I work near here so picked up four small pocket notebooks aka two lined and two blank notebooks one week. The next week I picked up a slightly larger size two pack of notebooks. These are some of the best quality notebooks and they are my jam. Whether writing Yelp reviews of a new veg-friendly spot or vegan spot in the Bay Area or whatever. Not only are the notebooks top quality I love the flavors aka the various colors of the notebooks. Alex who works here is very kind and helpful in finding the exact specifications of what I was looking for. I will be back! read more

I came to the moleskine store with my best friend for her birthday to get an embossed notebook. The people that work there were so kind and friendly and so helpful!! Definitely recommend this on a stop on your San Francisco trip!! Will and Alex were so helpful and made the whole trip worth it. Our journals are so beautiful. read more

My dad always kept a journal in which he simply listed the things that he'd done that day: mowed the lawn, drinks with Richard, etc. And especially, I've always enjoyed looking back at these journals to see what we'd been doing on x day 2 years ago. That said, I've been keeping a daily journal for many years and I've settled down on the Moleskine daily planner, which has one page/day and which comes in a handy pocket-size. Yesterday, I went to the Moleskine store to buy my 2019 diary and I loved seeing the array of different colors that these come in now. And, upon check-out I learned that you can have your notebooks now embossed with your name or any other kind of short message. Loved that! read more

I went there to buy a notebook (shocker, I know). The person in the store was extremely friendly and knew his products very well. He gave me the right amount of informations and would provide more when asked. While I did not end up buying because there was nothing that fit the specific need I had, I had a great customer experience, and Moleskine have good product at a very attractive price. I recommend this store. read more

The store employee made me feel welcome and made getting my selection embossed with initials a cool process. Great selection and reasonably priced. read more

Really disappointed. I am a big fan of Moleskin in a time of Bullet Journals and have tried over a week now to get across town to replace a weekly planner. I even was in two months ago and got a few journals as well as the new pen despite staff being somewhat sarcastic while I genuinely was seeking some insights and solutions. Last Friday they were already closed at 6:50pm and I just called at 6:39pm and the woman working on the phone rudely told me that they are closing in 5 minutes even though their website and Yelp says they are open til 7pm. Please stay open til 7pm. People get off work and try to make it to your location for their business needs. As a result of this interaction, I am considering ordering my Moleskin online instead to avoid your rudeness after years of buying multiple Moleskin products at your location. read more

KUDOS to Alex for his help on the engraving! I love it and cannot wait to start my 2024 planner!

My response to managements flimsy response below: This doesn't sound like an apology but rather remorse about ensuring you maintain clientele rather than putting forth effort to own up to & rectify the behavior.. You defectively mentioned me being "triggered" (as of being locked in a store unannounced is acceptable)? =====*** Really liked this location/product. But today--- IT'S *NOT* OKAY TO LOCK CUSTOMERS IN THE STORE. When Jenny (?) introduced herself & asked if I needed help which I politely declined... *that* would've been a good time to also announce she'd be locking me in the store. The problem with that is -- when you quietly lock-up unannounced after engaging me (yet inform white patrons near the door)---- I'm gonna think the problem is ME which is why they also seemed on alert & wanted OUT. I let her know it would have been better to give people a heads up. Turns out it was closing time & her response was "well I can't keep letting folks in &also have a daughter to pick up from school". All understandable. But it's unfair & CULTURALLY INSENSITIVE especially for me as a Black semi-Masculine presenting Patron that's constantly followed & held "suspect" in stores to just promptly lock me inside unannounced shortly upon arriving. I do not feel comfortable being locked in with this Blonde Lady, thanks. Y'all are out here SEVERELY STIGMATIZING & TRAUMATIZING POC while merrily carrying on with your day... & it isn't right. Folks need to be more self-aware & understand that they are NOT AT LIBERTY to infringe on our right of movement or treat others any which way just because IT'S CONVENIENT & FEELS SECURE FOR THEM (particularly the average urban POC whom are often flagged as "suspicious" zombies from the Tenderloin..let's be real) Lady-- who said *I* feel safe being locked up in here with you??? Oh certainly not. No.No. & NO! read more

Sometimes, analog methods tried and true work better than online apps. I've returned to writing stuff down, tasking ideas, and writing down my schedule. Moleskine is legendary. I have the travel journal and the weekly diary. The paper quality is cotton. The ability to jot something down is faster than opening a app and the mussel memory just syncs with me. With the right pen in hand, your creativity will sparkle! read more

This is one of the very few locations in California. I think there's another in LA. But staff is very friendly and there's a very great amount of different notebooks, pens, bags, planners to chose from here. I definitely would come back here again to shop for more. TIP: this place is close to a bart station. Parking is not easy to come by here. read more

Yikes. I'm not a fan of their "policy" not to order items available online for store pickup. This is either a lazy store manager or an ineptness at the corporate level passed down to store level. Terrible customer service! Definitely rethinking my commitment to using Moleskine products. While I'm here; their mobile website rendering and user interface is terrible. Very hard to read and interact with. The site design is at least 10 years old. And why do they need so much personal information? They need my birthdate to place an order? I don't think so. read more

I wanted to give gift of Moleskin travel journals to friends about to embark on long journeys. I called Moleskin in SF and spoke to the store manager Alex who is exceptional! He immediately put them aside and then in less than 30 minutes while I drove to the store Alex had them monogrammed and gift boxed so beautifully!! And then he even walked them around the corner to where I was parked on the street. Amazing service!! Will do all my journal shopping at moleskin. Thanks Alex read more

When I'm a millionaire, I'm going to spend my fortune on Moleskines. I have never seen a standalone Moleskine store before and just passing by the window last week was enough to freak me out. Actually going into the store was like a shopaholic during Black Friday. I. Cannot. Handle. It. There are SO many varieties and colors. All their pens/pencils are laid out to be tested and let me just tell you, I am SOLD on Moleskine pens. Ugh the smooth ink and perfect grip.. Love the helpful staff and gorgeous layout. Definitely coming here for all my future Moleskine purchase (aka very soon). read more

Gorgeous store in sf! Apparently the only moleskine retail store on the west coast. So what if you can grab a notebook anywhere else? Moleskines are the best and wonderful quality items. The staff here are really helpful. You're more than welcome to test out their pens, sample their newer products like the digital designs, etc. read more

Not sure I see the valve in these items; I would have a hard time paying $25 for a notebook. I stopped in with a colleague who wanted to pick some stuff up for this family so I decided I would see what was for sale. The gentleman working there did not engage with us at all nor acknowledge our presence when we walked in. Although the store is clean and has a nice layout. read more

This place is AMAZING if you are looking for Moleskin. They just opened 2 months ago, and are the corporate store for Moleskin. They sell probably close to 100 different moleskin books. Square, dots, plan, lined, and more. Staff are super friendly and knowledgable. I got talking for 10-15 min. I also got me a great new book to journal. My only suggestion is don't buy the pens. The pens sell for half the cost on Amazon. The books probably 25% more which is fair since you get to try them and enjoy an awesome showroom, not to mention they often have promos. read more

Thank you so very much KATIE for providing EXCELLENT customer service via a phone call and then sending my selected products on to Las Vegas! You helped me last holiday season so I decided to call again this year as I could not find the weekly planner I wanted online. I so very much appreciate you keeping me informed every step of the way as you provided a picture of the embossed weekly planners for approval before they were sent via FedEx. You are professional, friendly, product knowledgable, and efficient! I hope to visit the Moleskine store sometime in the new year. KATIE, you are appreciated! read more

The notebooks are expensive but sturdy and look awesome when embossed. Loren was super friendly and patient when I came in to get a little gift for my husband and did a really good job on the embossing. Moleskine is a good place to get a small gift or memento with a personal touch. read more

Disappointing from usually such a great brand. Very bad return policy--stand behind your products, or don't offer them! https://www.amazon.com/review/RYSZJJTC9EZ0B/ref=pe_1098610_137716200_cm_rv_eml_rv0_rv read more

I never realized Moleskine has so much more than journals. They have some great bags. The shop is lovely and the staff are super friendly. Everyone was so welcoming and very informative. It was fun just browsing with so much to see. I will definitely be coming back. read more

I cannot sing higher praises for this store, and especially for the manager Katie!! I would give 10 stars if possible! I'm a nursing student at University of San Francisco and I am deeply attached to the Moleskine Pro Weekly Vertical Planner. I know it sounds hyperbolic to be so committed to a specific speciality calendar, but if you are a paper planner person you know what I mean. It is the exact planner I need to organize my busy schedule, track assignments due, and space to write all the lists that I could possibly need over the course of a year. You can imagine how I felt when I saw that the Moleskine website was out of stock for the large 2021 version of that planner--I started scrambling for a backup plan. I emailed customer service at Moleskine to ask if they would have it back in stock before the end of the year. When customer service responded saying that they didn't know when it would be back, I did the next best thing I could think of: I called the Moleskine store in SF to see if they had the planner at the store. I let out a huge sigh of relief upon hearing that they did indeed have the planner in stock, however, I then had to admit my next issue: due to the COVID housing shuffle I currently live all the way out in Lake County CA, hours from the SF store. Even though shipping orders is not a typical practice in this store, Katie went above and beyond to ship the planner all the way out to my home in Lake County, leaving me ample time before the new year to write in all of my 2021 commitments and goals! Katie was professional, communicative, and kind. I felt that my order was taken very seriously and I feel so grateful for the attention and follow-through that Katie gave my order. I am without a doubt a customer of this Moleskine location for life! Thank you Katie!! read more

Had to deal with two different associates when I came in, I will say I was a bit difficult because I needed guidance on gifts, first associate was very helpful, patient, and friendly. The second was a bit sarcastic and not at all happy about me needing explanations of certain products. read more

Customer service is subpar. Considering it is a brick and mortar, there are no distinguishing facts. For example, why not have opened floor samples so we can see what's inside? Why bother to have a store if it's like shopping online? Staff members also have an unpleasant attitude and look bothered when you ask them for assistance. read more

I ordered a planner online & the customer service is the worst I've seen in yeears. Nobody can tell me the status of delivery of the planner and it's been 5 days since I called. I was told I would get a call back, still waiting... supposedly they need to check with a warehouse and that can't happen when you call. Oh, and I also sent a email expressing & explaining, still no response either. How can a company work that way & still have success, I'm baffled... read more

Located between SEE and the Pied Piper Bar & Grill, this Moleskine store is exciting for Moleskine fans! There is an extensive stock of Moleskine products, including the full range of notebooks (including many of the limited edition ones), pens, notecards, and bags. One of the best features of going to a brick and mortar location is the ability to sample each of the products--throughout the store, there are sample products to try, such as a station in the center of the store with the various pens. The staff was very friendly and willing to explain the different items. This location has only been open for about two weeks, and expected to stock even more merchandise in the coming weeks. I would highly recommend that any Moleskine fan or stationary lover pay a visit! read more

Went there in search for a thoughtful valentine gift. The staff was very attentive and helpful with the ideas and suggestions. Will go back for more stuff soon. read more

Was so excited to come here after discovering moleskine in NYC! Was not dissapointed. Staff was friendly and helpful in showing me various notebooks. Unlike most high end stores where staff can be pretentious, I did not get that vibe here. You have to ask to see the inside because the new ones are sealed in plastic for protection. Moleskine offers ways to make your print designs come digital with adobe. You can play with the demo screen in the back. So cool. Cool Alice and Wonderland and other pop culture limited designs and 2017 books are now available! read more

I was fortunate to be in the area and have been planning to get myself a Moleskine Expanded notebook. Swung by and they had exactly what I've been looking for. Katie was SUPER nice and helpful. Made my experience a positive and memorable one! Left with two new notebooks, a weekly planner for 50% off and a memorable experience. read more

As a Moleskine lover, I have always wanted to come to the actual store. I must say I wasn't disappointed. This is a great location for it as well as it is close to the main shopping area. The customer service was great and she was very knowledgeable. I ended up buying a pocket 2017 and an accessory pen holder. Even got a complimentary bag as a souvenir. read more

Beautiful store on Market Street. I love Moleskine pocket calendars and notebooks to keep track of my stuff: birthdays, lists, schedules, you name it. Be sure to have plenty of time to peruse the selection and for the lack of customer service. It took over 10 minutes to ring up my calendar to pay. The guy working there didn't know how to use the register and the woman who I assume was supposed to be helping him, was sitting on the staircase. When he asked her to help him, she sighed heavily and finally got up. Did I not say that I need to check out of my hotel in 10 minutes?!!? At least the notebooks are nice but the store needs to get some new employees. read more

THANK YOU, Katie, for ALL your help in getting the Moleskine weekly planners I was looking for! I initially bought mine in New York in July 2019 and was ready to order new ones for my daughter and I. I couldn't believe the products were out of stock on the website so I contacted the Moleskine store in New York. Melvyn was also MOST HELPFUL in trying to help me get the products I needed and forwarded my request to the store in San Francisco. Katie called me and took care of my order efficiently and with great care! She even sent me a picture so I could see the embossing. The one for my daughter is a Christmas gift so I was so happy i could get it for her. THANK YOU, Katie, for your your kindness, courtesy, professionalism, and efficiency! Much appreciated! read more

Are you looking for a cathartic release? A place to collect your thoughts, ideas, life? There's nothing like putting a pen to paper especially when it's to a Moleskine. This store is like a writers candy store. It's beautiful how they present the different types and colors of journals they offer. There is truly something for everybody even if you just want to log the different food you eat or if you want something to doodle in. Plus if you're a person who likes to matching that she they even have bags and other things that match the journals so you can while you're friends with your fashion sense. Hahaha okay enough just check it out. read more

Don't come here if you are in a hurry because you will start looking at all your choices and lose track of time, haha! They have so much fun stuff here, not just notebooks! I definitely recommend checking this store out! read more
