I myself have never been to Montreal, let alone Canada until now and I happened upon this store…read moreclose to my hotel. The staff here are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the stationery and writing utensils they sell. The selection of items like notebooks, pencils, pens, ink, binders - and at a reasonable price. They'll likely have whatever you're looking for. The store is a little small, but everything feels naturally laid out and not crammed by any means. If you are in Montreal and happen to be an artist or writer - this is a must stop shop for any supplies you have on your mental wishlist.

They didn't have it but they helped me out. It's more a quality shop than a value one, but if you have strong feelings on nibs & bind weight you'll dig it.

This is the mega Omer, the mother Omer, the Berri Omer located on the same corner where the…read moreoriginal Omer Deserres existed in 1908 back when it was a hardware store. Dedicated to supplying artists, advertising agencies, local art schools and DIY crafters since 1950 and with branches across Canada you can find fairly much everything you might need to get creative in this creativity complex. In my experience, it's great to chat with the staff here about what you're working on or looking for. The organization is a bit complex because they have so much stuff, so it's helpful to have one of the wise young art students leading you around, plus: adorable. The vibe in here is clean, bright and modern, not at all the inspiring sense of dripping with history and the labours of love as you find in true old school places like Pearl Paint in NYC, but it gets the job done in style. Some items suffer from the usual Montreal markup, but they make up for it by having in-house brands for things like sketchbooks that are really cheap.

I visited this lovely little corner shop in the Le Plateau-Mont-Royal neighborhood last Wednesday…read moremorning and it was nice to see they already had regulars sitting and knitting their projects. The shop carries nicer, higher-end yarns. There are a lot of knitted samples to pique your creative interest. I didn't try their tea and pastries, but they have a nice, small selection. I bought a few items that were specific to La Maison Tricotée. The staff was so nice, welcoming, and helpful. I would recommend La Maison Tricotée to knitters, crocheters and yarn lovers. Even if you are not, but need to buy a gift for one, the helpful employees would give you guidance.

I had time to visit one yarn shop on a business trip to Montreal. I couldn't have chosen better and…read moreI wish there were more stars to give. The young lady working that day showed me all around when I asked about local, hand dyed yarns and told me interesting things about each brand. I had a delightful cup of tea and even though it was nearing closing time, I never felt rushed. She even helped me choose a great place to go to dinner and recommended a great bar to visit with a cool atmosphere I loved (Darling bar). But then she really went above and beyond when my uber driver called and she spoke to him for me in French. I ended up needing to request another driver and she offered me to wait inside the store out of the cold rain while he arrived even though the shop was closing. On top of that, I bought beautiful yarn! I am so glad to have things to remember from this shop. Many yarn stores have fabulous yarn but it's customer service like this that makes people fall in love with the store. (The tea and baked goods don't hurt either.) How I wish it was my LYS and that I didn't live hundreds of miles away. I hope I get to visit it again. In the meantime, do yourself a favor and visit this store!

They have some really cool pieces, glasses, paintings, statues anything vintage pretty much. It's done very beautifully the set up even the sign that's what attracted me to it in the first place. Will definitely be back to check it out with a friend

Most of their stock is vintage pieces so if that is your style you will be in heaven here. Personally that doesn't align with my taste but what I loved was the jewelry selection. If you go in the back they have lots of pretty jewelry from Montreal designers and the prices are very reasonable. I would definitely come back here for that.
