this shop and its owner and employees are such a delight!! I'm a journaling and stationary fiend so…read moreI am always on the hunt for new stickers, washi tapes, cards, papers, journals, etc. This shop has them all!! I am a moleskin girl myself; but I recently purchased a Leuchtturm here in a beautiful sage green color (please note they carry MANY shades and different types!! (lined, blank, dotted!!)). Words cannot describe how excited I am when I stop by this store to see if they have any new items in stock. They also sell beautiful planners, pens, markers, post it notes, etc. While it is a smaller shop, I think it is very well organized and laid out and I think the owner is really strategic about what they carry because I've always left feeling like nothing was lacking in my experience. Free street parking is available on nearby streets and this shop is right by several bus stations so it's easy to get to. There is a single step to enter the store if you have concerns regarding accessibility. I don't think they're active on Yelp, but they are active on Instagram where they post when the shop is having events like journaling club!! and stationary events. I also just have to add that I had a lovely conversation with the owner about journaling and travel and after mentioning a trip I was planning to go on to London, she actually gave me a stationary shop recommendation there as well.

Since my child has been home from college, she's been dragging me to every comic and anime shop she…read morecan find -- and this one was such a cute surprise! The store is filled with anime figurines, kawaii items, K-pop merch, stationery, and so many adorable finds. She picked out a super cute hat with ears that actually move, which was a huge hit. Everyone working there was very nice and helpful, and the shop itself was clean, bright, and well organized. I'd absolutely recommend this spot to anyone who loves anime, kawaii culture, or just really cute things. We'll definitely be back!

Luana, the owner is the sweetest human and hand curates the store. It's a lot of odds and ends but the best card selection. I stopped in here recently to pick up Christmas cards.

I was wondering Fells, since it's not my immediate neighborhood. My goal was to firstly find some…read moreholiday cards to mail out ASAP, but also to support local businesses. I ALMOST missed this treasure trove. There is a lot to take in, so take your time. There were a ton of items I would have considered if I didn't come with specific goals in mind. There were a variety of cards that were beautiful, funny, original or a combination of those things. The owner is very helpful and listening to her interact with a regular was very heart warming. The jewelry selection is BEAUTIFUL. The rings are in point, sweet necklaces and some earrings that had me tempted to put some holes in my lobes. Right now the vibe feel very holiday, but I'm interest to come back and take a peek during another season. Will update when I do!

I absolute loved the welcoming environment and the insanely helpful staff. I am both sad and glad that I don't live nearby. My wallet would be barren. If you like pens and stationary, you will have a fantastic time inside the store.

I had no idea there was a stationary and fountain pen store close to where I lived. I was super…read moreexcited to go and browse all of the fountain pens. There was an event going on - food when I walked in was a dead giveaway. The store itself isn't very big but there were about 10 people looking at fountain pens. I couldn't even look since people were at the counter. For me, customer service is everything and no one working acknowledged me, not even to say hi. I know you may be busy but if you have a customer that just walked in, say hi. I looked around and found they had field notes so I looked at those for a bit and then my eyes wandered over to the hobinichis. I have never seen a hobinichi in person before so it was nice to get a sense of the size. I looked around at the pelikans and other fountain pens but there were alot of people so I left. I may be back when there isn't an event.

To my surprise, when we walked in, there were no customers--just the cashier (the owner's wife). My friend and I started browsing the jewelry section and found a few cute pieces, but we noticed the cashier hovering nearby, which felt suspicious. It genuinely seemed like she was watching us to make sure we were "only looking," and it gave the impression she thought we might take something. It was extremely uncomfortable and made it hard to shop in peace. The whole experience changed how I feel about the store. I wouldn't shop there again, nor would I recommend it. The prices are also on the higher side.

So I couldn't wait to visit Penny Post when I was in town on business recently. This little place is tiny-but-mighty, packed full of allll the planner-related things you could possibly need. From washi tape to notebooks, from fancy paperclips to customized post-its, they had everything I could possibly ever want (and more). The staff is really helpful, too. Perhaps noticing the blank stare/look of overwhelm on my face, a kind employee asked if she could help me find anything. Anything? I had found everything! Luckily, I was doing carry-on only this trip, so only left with a handful of pens and a roll (okay, two rolls) of lovely floral-printed washi tape. If you're into planning, journaling, fancy pens, fountain pens, stickers, or just need a creative greeting card, Penny Post is the place. A quick note about parking: it's sort of a nightmare! I drove around for 20 minutes before I found a spot. But it was worth the hunt.
