Although they have apparently discontinued carrying the RHODIA line they still have a good about of supply and are offering them at 50% off. Sweet deal! They also have tons of paper supplies and rare or harder to find Japanese pens and other ink supplies. Prices are good, staff is helpful! Worth the trip!

I took note of Take Note when I was in The Junction a couple of Saturdays ago. I was parked steps…read moreaway to have brunch with friends. I was early and checked the area out. This store is for folks who love to write, do calligraphy, or have a fondness for fountain pens and decent stationery. It is heaven and deadly. I decided not to go in. I knew that if I did, I'd be there for hours, wanting every fountain and calligraphy pen, and every ink imaginable. I love fountain and calligraphy pens. I am content with the pens that I have, so I did some window-browsing instead. I noticed Blackwing pencils on a desk close to the window. They aren't cheap! A single pencil will cost you $40. My not entering this store was a wise choice. Blackwing pencils are special in that they use high-quality graphite that rarely breaks. It is made of incense-cedar wood that makes sharpening it easy. There's a rectangular eraser on top, likely for flair. It's still crazy expensive for a pencil! If you are looking for a fancy writing instrument or quality paper, this store is for you. I was happy browsing from afar. If I do win the lottery, you'll find me here buying everything. (490)

It is comparable to other art stores. They have Speedball and Sheaffer calligraphy pens, too. There were also some good storage containers on sale, but I don't need any! The woman cashing me out was nice, despite the wailing child who was at it for five minutes by the time I got to her. I would go back again to explore some more, but this pen should keep me busy for a bit!

If you are a stationary girly, then this is the place for you! I fell in love with The Paper Place…read morewhen I first moved downtown. It is conveniently located across from Trinity Bellwoods, with lots of lovely coffee shops nearby. The space inside is very inviting and organized. I love the origami paper section; the papers have so many beautiful designs and patterns. I don't think they sell any regular ball ink pens here but you will find lots of colourful, thin, marker-type pens and black drawing pens.

Holiday cards. But that's it. Yet, I still yearn for and cherish all things papier. So yeah, The Paper Place? Very VERY for me. They've got beautiful decorative papers, weights for different projects and needs, origami paper, notebooks, gifts, cards, calendars, etc etc. It's my dream come true! Even if you're not into such things, it's a beautiful place to browse. But I dare you to not want to start your own collection once you step inside!

Let me tell you about the unsung hero of my adult life: Staples in Red Maple. This place is like…read morethe Batcave for office warriors--minus the bats, plus a surprisingly efficient Amazon pickup window. ‍ Amazon Pickup: Faster Than a Caffeinated Squirrel I don't know what kind of sorcery they're using, but the Amazon pickup process here is smoother than jazz on a Sunday morning. I walked in, blinked, and my package was already in my hand. I half expected confetti and a marching band. No fuss, no drama--just grab and go like a ninja with a Prime membership. Office Chairs: Built Like a Tank, Feels Like a Cloud I bought an office chair here over four years ago. It's still going strong. No squeaks, no sagging, no mysterious stains from unknown snack-related incidents. I've spilled coffee, cried into it during tax season, and spun in it during Zoom calls like a caffeinated toddler--it's unfazed. If this chair were a person, it'd be a stoic monk with a black belt in comfort. Supplies: Reasonably Priced, Surprisingly Fun Staples has everything from pens that glide like Olympic figure skaters to paper that makes you feel like your printer finally respects you. Prices are fair, and the selection is solid. I once walked in for a stapler and left with a whiteboard, three packs of sticky notes, and a renewed sense of purpose. ‍ Staff: Chill, Helpful, and Not at All Judgy The team here is consistently friendly and helpful. They don't hover like confused pigeons, but they're always around when you need them. I once asked where the laminators were and got a full breakdown of features like I was buying a sports car. Respect. Final Verdict: Staples Red Maple Is My Spirit Animal If office supplies were a lifestyle, this Staples would be my guru. Efficient, affordable, and weirdly comforting. I go in stressed and come out with a binder and inner peace.-Zuk

They're a specialty store as the store name would suggest, they're selling everything from high quality pens, to markers, to booklets, and more. To my surprise I found the inky white gel pens I've been using for my colouring books, and bought 3 different coloured ones. They were well priced and I was so happy to support a local shop! Customer service here was also top notch, with very homey vibes, and friendly staff.

It's a well-known fact that I'm physically incapable of walking past a stationery shop without…read moremaking a purchase. So, when I found myself early for a doctor's appointment, I "accidentally" took a detour that led me right here. For those planning a more deliberate trip, it's less than half a block north of College Ave, right off the Grace St stop on the 506 streetcar. The shop has a huge selection of fountain pens and fountain pen paraphernalia and a solid range of washi tape, pens and quality notepads, including Rhodia and some nice Japanese brands. My quest for Uni Jetstream pen refills and some Traveler's Notebook swag came up empty, which I'll chalk up to it being January, prime "sold-out-of-everything" season for anything planning related. Despite that, I didn't leave empty-handed. I picked up a Life Noble Note Section A5 grid notebook, (a new brand for me) and a beautiful Zebra Sarasa Clip 3-color pen. The prices were quite reasonable, even beating some I've seen on Amazon. I also scored some 2026 Midori monthly diary stickers from the closeout cart near the register, which felt like a real victory. I'll definitely be back in a few months to check for restocks. It's a great little spot with some quality finds.
