The most aesthetically pleasing stationary shop I've ever seen! I LOVE that they are color coordinated! That just makes me so happy. They have a good selection of stationary, I do which they had a larger selection of fountain pens, but they did have a decent selection. Staff was kind and welcoming. As far as pricing goes they are right on target with what is common for each item I saw. Would definitely go back, because that place just makes me happy.

Cute little store in Highland Park, right off York Boulevard. It's a bit of a busy street, but there's metered street parking and park and pay parking in the back. When we walked in, we were greeted with a warm smile. It was packed, probably because it was Stationery Store Day. They had posters, with and without frames, postcards, stickers, tapes, candles, cards for different occasions, pens, notepads, highlighters, planners, and just about anything you'd need for your desk. It's a small store, but it's really well-organized. They've organized everything by color, which might not be everyone's cup of tea, but helpful if you're looking for a specific color.

Printing press in action!

This is a classy little stationery shop. Most items are arranged by color. I had been to the Shorthand in Larchmont for Stationery Store Day. It's bigger than this shop. But this one has the printing press. And if you're lucky and they're printing, you can watch through the glass. Cool. I bought some cute washi tapes and some paper. Parking is metered on York. But one can find parking in the neighborhood behind.

Hitting up this place this weekend on my #stationarystoreday crawl

I darkened their doorsteps during the Annual Stationery Store Day Crawl in August. It was fantastic! plenty of pens, journals, markers, planners, calendars, pencil cases, fountain pens and inks. Everything the Stationary geek in you might want to purchase they have it here. This place is located on busy York Blvd. I think this area is known as Highland Park very trendy. Staff was helpful and thrilled to see all of the people come through for the crawl. I will definitely return in the future. Respectfully Reviewed.

PAPER PLANT is such a cute stationery store! It is small but mighty. Whoever organized the display did it in such an eye-catching way -- by color! A wonderful shop that fits the vibe of this Highland Park neighborhood. The worker was super helpful. When I needed help looking for an item, she didn't just point: she walked around and showed different products from different parts of the shop that might be on interest to me -- from super affordable to affordable-but-pricey.

I enjoyed walking into this store and seeing everything color coordinated. There is a selection of cards to choose from (birthday, thank you, etc). There was also a variety of note pads and pens. They also sell candles! I also enjoyed how spacious the store was. Most stationery stores I've visited have been small. I will definitely be returning.

Beautiful!!!

As a stationary GEEK this was a threatening store to my wallet. The color coded sections are absolutely stunning and the employees were super friendly!!! They have all kinds of pens, pencils, markers, ink, lead, clips, paints, calendars, notebooks, cards, candles, journals, planners and more. It really is a perfect shop. Perfect for anyone who is wanting to get nice stationary items, get organized, or just loves stationary. I restrained from buying too much but the things I got I still absolutely love and use. (Mainly pens and markers because it's my obsession) So worth a stop! Right next to Crush + Touch also!!

Stunning interior

4.5 stars A very airy and well organized stationary store. It has notebooks and pens galore! If I had a store, it would look like this. I loved all the notebooks, little erasures, and pens. I also stared enviously at the fountain pens and admired their available color inks. I promised myself that one day, I'd get a fountain pen, but I just haven't found the One yet. Unfortunately, my One True Fountain pen was not here. Although the selection was plentiful, the thickness of the pens were not for me...so my search continues... I did, however, find my 2023 pen of the year! You see, I have a five-year journal and I always choose one color for the entire year...and I'm really happy to have found it in the color orchid. I also found out that they make some of their own cards and paper designs and I love that about this store! They also try to bring in some artists' work and I can't wait to see more. I will definitely be back!

Store closed even though hours showed it was open. Showed up within their posted time and it was not open. Waste of meter parking
