I believe Typo is a branch of the store Cotton On. I've been to Typo's in the past and have purchased some random but cool decorative finds. One cool purchase I bought that I still use to this day is a passport holder with the Alice in Wonderland animated poster as the cover. It has RFID and you wouldn't even know it's a passport holder, it's that cool. Recently stopped in and purchased a saucer/mug that had Garfield on it and a key chain that was on sale. I also got a limited edition gift of a sippy cup made of glass that actually comes in handy and I do use, it's not just junk collecting dust. They also have blue tooth keyboards for around $20 which is a steal. I would visit this store if you need to decorate your desk/office or home with interesting finds. You would be surprised at how much cool/cute stuff you can find here. read more

Shop full of fun knick knacks, stationery, and office things. They had a promotion going, and let's just say I ended up buying a huge number of gifts for everyone at work. The young ladies who helped me were so nice and helpful about my big purchase that I promised to write them a great review, so here it is. They were super patient and counted all my items carefully. Definitely recommend stopping by to purchase fun gifts here! read more

Typo - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Brea, California

I was there today looking to buy a calendar. I noticed that there weren't any calendars on the floor but instead behind the registers. I then got into line and the cashier Delilah helped me out. When I approached her she did not greet me at all. Super rude. I saw a calendar that I liked and asked for it. When it was time to check out she said my total was $10 but I saw the price on the screen and it said $2. Didn't even know the prices. After I paid I said thank you to her and she looked at me with no response. As I walked away I heard her greet the next costumer very friendly. What was the difference between me and the next costumer? No clue. Retail is all about costumer service and clearly Delilah didn't have any. Whenever I come to this store all the cashiers are usually friendly but Delilah wasn't at all. This made my experience less likely to come back read more

This is just one of those adorable stores with all sorts of random quotes, notebooks, pens, backpacks, mugs that make for perfect little gifts. I was trying to think of what I could buy my niece on her birthday in July and I wandered over to this store. I swear I could have stared at every little thing for an hour or 2 just because...and I did until I realized that I had to get going because my friend was coming. After telling her about the store, we went back and did more perusing and buying of items. I decided on buying some notebooks that have encouraging themes, pugs, and almost bought a darth vader mug but decided against it last minute as my arms were filling up with unnecessary items already. read more

If you're into stationary and paper, you will love Typo. So many beautiful things in every section of the store. You can definitely find lots of super cute items to decorate your office and bring some style to your work. There were lots of random stuff that I didn't even know I wanted until I saw it there on the shelf. I could spend way too much time here even though it's not a huge store. The staff was nice and there were also some good sale items. read more

First of all, I want to thank all the staff working during this difficult time, they're working so hard to keep us safe, also they're super friendly, all the staff that I came across in this location had gave me a friendly, happy vibe, which is one of the reasons why I love browsing in this store! Besides friendly staff, I also like almost everything they have in there! I've been browsing in all sort of stationery stores since I was five, from Hong Kong to the US, I'm obsessed with them! And I can say, Typo has really show stationery in an American way, which by the way, if you're looking for souvenir or gift to bring to friends/family from another country, Typo is on the list. read more

Why do they close so early? They close an hour before the malls does. The hours are very inconvenient.

New place opened up in Brea Mall!! Amazingly hypster and cute. I'm mostly excited for the cute hiking "quotes" on bags, notebooks, post-it and magnets. Ultimately, everything here is a little pricey. Notebooks are about $14 or so, but I was extremely ecstatic for the sales they were having. The agendas from 2016 to 2017 are only $3 and coloring books are $5. Plus, mugs are $5 per purchase. They are really adorable. I paid extra money because they had mints for $3 and $$1 tissues for a donation to school kids in Uganda. I like aesthetics and cute, quirky items. Very cool. Will come back. read more

Located in the Brea Mall Typo is a awesome shop for new, humorous, and hip items including unique school supplies like notebooks, pens, and backpacks. They sell funny and clever pins, large letters to put up in rooms, unique paper folded lanterns, and lap top cases. They have an obsession with pug related items, so if you love pugs you'll love this store! The store is well organized with hard working and nice greeting staff. This place has its own uniqueness about it and honestly I could have bought the entire store. They also sell Star Wars items galore! Overall, this store is unique in its own way and has the most unique items you couldn't find at any other store. If you want to up your style game with uniqueness this is the store to go to! read more

There is so much inside this store - but worth taking a peek if you're looking for tchotchke items for your desk, gifts or stocking stuffers around the holidays. What drew me in was there vast amount of holiday cards that were super cute and unique... and even better, on special for $1 each. It's not just rando stuff either, they have a lot of Harry Potter, Disney, Star Wars and other popular paraphernalia to appease all interest levels. My favorite being a Stormtrooper cheese board, something that I never knew I needed in my life, along with a heavy duty gold water bottle shaped like C-3PO. Yeah, I geeked out a bit, but showed some restraint and only bought what led me in there in the first place. I got a lot for a not a lot. Even better, if you sign up for their emails, you get a $10 certificate on your next visit to buy even more stuff. When I'm living my best mall life, I'll for sure be back to see what I can score. read more

This store is the cutest and the staff is extremely pleasant. I remember going to typo when I lived in London and honestly I can say I am extremely surprised and happy they have it down here! This is one of the best stores in the Brea Mall and they always have the coolest deals. Especially on their notebooks and pens! Their store is kinda tiny but it is homey which is why I love browsing and going around in the store! read more

Kind of weird that you have to pay for a bag for them to put the merchandise that you're buying in. Most stores provide the bag if you are shopping with them. read more

The Brea Mall needed a cute little store like this. As you walk in, you see all of these interesting items. Cards, mugs, cushions, notebooks, pens, water bottles, bags,, magnets, you name it. Most of them have funny memes or quotes, so it's worth coming and checking it out even if you're not going to buy anything. Every time, I check this place out, there's always something I want, but I shouldn't buy. Give Typo a shot. Great little store. read more

Super bummed on the e commerce system in place here. This isn't really the "store teams" fault, but they also really did nothing to try to fix the situation either. I worked for a large retail company for 15 years, and 2 years as a district manager, and we'd never dream of wasting a customers time like this - and if we did - we'd fix it in store. I drove from Anaheim (about 10miles) to get a lap top case that was online for $15. I checked their inventory at this location and it said they had it for pick up, and it would be 4 days. I just bought a new lap top and it's living inside the box, so I needed this product ASAP, so i just thought I'd go in and pick it up today. Well, it turns out, their online prices don't reflect their in store prices (why?) and they are apparently unable to price match with their own company (which, again working in retail for so long, you can do whatever you want for a customer if you really want to right the wrong. And if your team members are so scared of getting reprimanded for helping a customer aka doing what's right, you need to empower your teams to do what's right for the customer, and make an easier working environment for both them and the would-be customer.) I'm extremely disappointed and even tried to write in to cotton on online, but that process is a joke as well, so unfortunately the team and this store have to get this review. Hopefully a DM or someone higher up can report this to someone in the e commerce department. It's 2019, shopping online and buying online to pick up in store as well as checking inventories should be seamless. Also, please allow your team to right situations in store and not hide Behind some weird online policy ploy to get people to buy online pick up in store. Y'all just lost a customer for life. I didn't wanna go the amazon route, but at least they're consistent and I can trust their customer services. which says a lot. read more

I came in on a Friday with a friend and the sales associate was above and beyond friendly and very informative. Everytime we went to a different part of the store the sales associate was right there letting us know what was available. read more

Just found out about this cute little gem! It's basically a stationary store with a trendy/hipster twist. Pens, notepads, cards, calendars, journals, you name it! They also carry bedding sheets, pillows, backpacks, and other items similar in line. The price itself is also not bad at all. I recently came in during their end-of-the-year sale and select (MAJORITY) of their items were 30-50% off. Without hesitation, I scored myself a travel make-up bag for $14. They also had a really cute oversized duffle/tote bag for $21, but I managed to stop myself from going broke. They usually have "themes" going on in the store - So far, I've seen Star Wards, Zombie, Mickey Mouse, etc. Overall, definitely a place you'll want to stop by if you're looking to gift something for a friend or family member. read more

I discovered this awesome store of sparkle and all things of worth tonight while visiting the Brea Mall. I simply walked by and noticed the adorable canteens (I NEED a new one after all) and was pulled in by the colors, sparkles and stationary! My daughter and I spent more time in this store than any other we visited tonight. There are SO MANY NEEDFUL THINGS!! I love all things stationary, sparkle, unicorn, rainbow, sparkle, organizing and office supply related, so this store will now be my new go-to place, and not just for me, but for unique gifts as well. There is LITERALLY something for everyone. Beatles, Nirvana, sparkles, laptop bags, tablet and phone cases, desk accessories, sparkles, socks, unicorns, The Simpsons, pugs, have I mentioned sparkles? The staff is SUPER helpful and knowledgeable too. read more

I am a paper planner and lover of all things stationary. We sadly don't have Typo in Seattle, so whenever I'm visiting- I make a point to stop in and stock up. This was a new location to me, and although I don't feel as though they had as many items as Fashion Valley in SD,it sufficed to fill my paper Fix. The prices are a little above average than what most would expect, but their quality outweighs what you could get elsewhere. They have room decor, greeting cards, travel notebooks, gifts, odds and ends, pens and pencils and trinkets I have yet to see in other similar stores. Overall- if you love stationary, or planners or even need to find a unique gift/ this is a place I would definitely recommend. It's a small store jam packed, not necessarily stroller friendly- but I left the kids with the hubby to allow me some alone shopping. read more

If you're looking for a cute gift for a friend or yourself look no further. This is the cutest store with everything from pens, pencils , sparkly notebooks , socks , pillows , laptop cases, calendars! There are also some cute items to decorate your office or dorm. I love that they even carry Disney items, Star Wars, to zombies. Something for everyone! Staff is super friendly too.. it gets pricey when you can't walk out with only one item. Definitely will be back! read more

I went here with Debra R and Jose R. We bought cards, a journal and a bag. The store was good and the customer service was good too.

I'm literally always swinging by this place whenever I come to this mall. It has the cutest stuff of anything! I've gotten magnets for my littles, creative birthday cards for my friends, cute pillowcases just because. Super cute store, always having something on clearance! read more
