If I could leave negative stars I would…read more I've been a regular customer at Paper Plant for a while, but my last experience was incredibly frustrating. On my recent visit, I picked out several items and was ready to check out when I asked if I could purchase the paper vase and flower that were on display. It seemed like a simple request--especially since I was already buying multiple things and was clearly a paying customer. Instead of trying to help, the staff asked three different managers, and every single one just said "no." No explanation, no attempt to offer an alternative, and no effort to make the sale. It felt less like customer service and more like rigid rule-following for the sake of saying no. What makes it even more frustrating is that everything in the store is already very expensive. When customers are willing to spend that kind of money, you would expect at least a little flexibility or effort to accommodate a reasonable request. Retail should be about helping customers and making sales, not turning away people who are literally trying to buy your products. Walking out after that interaction was frustrating and disappointing. After that experience, I won't be coming back. Blocked.

Shorthand is a stationery shop located in Highland Park. This is one of several cards & stationery…read moreshops on York Blvd (including Crush & Touch locating right next door). Currently Shorthand has 3 locations - Highland Park, Larchmont Village, and San Anselmo. This Highland Park location is the flagship location. [Parking]: There are plenty of metered parking spots and paid public parking lots, but parking can be hard to come by during busy shopping seasons. [Selection]: The shop offers greeting cards, pens, notebooks, pen, pencils, gift wraps, etc. I like the greeting card selection a lot better at Shorthand, but I didn't see too many Valentine's Day cards. The shop was a lot more colorful than Crush & Touch as Shorthand organized pens and pencils by color. They also sell really neat hand drawn Highland Park and Eagle Rock maps. The shop also sells various colors of ribbon per yard and gift wrap. Each color of ribbon has a slightly different price. I actually got a red tight weave ribbon for $1.75 per yard and the staff even gave me a slightly extra length. [Gift Wrap Service]: Customers can purchase gifts in store or bring them in from elsewhere. In general, regular (one sheet) = $8, large (two sheets) = $14, and extra large (three sheets+) = $20+. [Conclusion]: A really cute stationery shop with all the supplies for gift wrapping.

Everything in this place: cards, tools, socks and stationary is food related. One table was entirely devoted to dill pickle swag! A shelf on the wall was completely reserved for butter merchandise!

I will definitely make a return visit.

Literally things I didn't need...until I saw them. Notebooks, pens, rulers, keychains, clipboards, planners, stationery, and every kind of writing tool that was not on the list, yet clearly destined to come home with me. CONFESSION: I'm that friend who gets emotionally attached to pens . I'll walk into a stationery store "to browse" and leave with two FULL bags of pens, paper, and things I didn't know I needed five minutes ago. I own multiples of the same items (pens, pencils, notebooks, and paper accessories) and feel zero shame. Seriously they're kinda like tools for clarity! The shop isn't huge, but I could easily spend three hours there. They even make custom products, which feels sorta dangerous for someone like me. I don't know what else to say except: just go. Buy your supplies here. Write someone a letter. Treat yourself. Cinco stars.

I've gone a few times and items are frequently updated which is great, a little on the pricier side but items are high quality so that is expected. The store is located at the Row DTLA.
