I have been a tap plastics customer since the 1970s and have bought many things from the El Cerrito…read morestore over the years - nothing major, just residential customer kinds of things. I have always had great experiences with their kind and helpful staff. Until today. I needed to pick up something and noticed that they had a San Leandro location, which is close to my job site. So I thought I would stop by to make my purchase. The 50 something Asian man at the counter was just unhelpful and rude from the beginning. I told him what I wanted and asked to confirm the thickness of the material I was thinking of buying. He picked up a sample and threw it down on the counter in front of me. I was a bit taken back, but didn't wanna read anything into it. But then when he tallied my order, he quoted me a price that was three times higher than the quote I had gotten from their website. When I mentioned this, he became more terse. I pulled up the website on my phone to show him the price that I had seen - then noted that I had not seen the price for some of the options that I wanted, but THAT price was still less than double the price he had given me. While he did admit that there was a difference, matched the Web price and then reduced the price by an additional $1.50, he remained as terse and unfriendly as before. Didn't change his tone or apologize for the misunderstanding. And after I received my item, I thanked him and wished him a nice day, he said nothing and just turned around and walked away. I left with a bad taste in my mouth. Hands-down, the worst experience I've ever had at a tap plastics. I won't be returning to that location and encourage anyone who's thinking of doing business with them to check the pricing on their website before they walk into the store.

I just want to write this review to counter-act against "Scott S" one-star review because his…read morereview is so ridiculous. I should mention, I am in no way affiliated with this shop whatsoever in any way, shape, or form. However I do live in the neighborhood and when I was searching for paper stores, this shop came up in the search. It took me literally 2 seconds to see that it's not the type of store I'm looking for (I'm looking for more of a stationary/paper store as opposed to art supply anyways, but alas this shop came up.) I personally think it's really cool to have a shop specifically for materials more geared toward graffiti/spray paint art...because graffiti IS ART. Therefore this shop IS an art supply store! That guys review would be almost like if I went to Whole Foods and got mad because they don't sell Hot Cheetos and Swishers. That would be ridiculous, right? Of course it would be! People should do their own due diligence! I'm sure Scott S. refuses to take such responsibility though, for he mustn't have the basic sense to make such high agency decisions in his day-to-day life. But that's okay. Because I'm here. To suggest to anyone that comes across this shop, to simply look at the images. Look for yourself. Is this the type of store you're looking for? If you are unsure, the store owner's phone number is right here on this very listing. I'm sure you can call and ask. Don't be like Scott. Not now. Not ever.

I've never been here before, and just wanted to check it out. There was a great selection of pens, markers, pencils, paper.

Super knowledgeable about the products on hand, and even the ones they didn't have on hand. I'm excited for the Lamy pen, and sailor ink I purchased. The price of the pen was comparable to what I've seen online, so I'm glad I was able to shop local. I also ended up getting some cute stickers and washi tape.

Found parking conveniently right in front in the street since it was a quiet day out. I was looking for wool roving which she didn't have, however, she was so kind to explain the difference between the types of material and she showed me the correct type of yarn she did have that I'd be able to pull apart with my carding brushes! She had a lot of equipment to use for yarn crafts and it was great to see the variety of product inside. Apparently she holds craft nights and such too which I'm planning on looking into. Prices here were sooo much better than all the places I've found online which is also have to pay extra for shipping. She also even rolled the yarn into a ball for me before we left. Hopefully they'll have wool roving here soon, but I'm thankful for the yarn we were able to purchase for my current projects :) The best part -- her dog Jasper kept us company throughout our whole experience there and he is the absolute cutest cuddle bug! Can't wait to come back.

They have material for just about any craft or hobby, including jewelry supplies, yarns, paints, fabrics, books, and lots of artificial florals. What I didn't see was cake decorating materials, but maybe I missed it. I came here specifically for their yarn. They have many different yarns in their own brand, Yarn Bee. This yarn feels really soft to the touch, so I look forward to using it for my next project. Their yarns are comparable in price to Michaels, but they don't have the large 1-lb value skeins. I also appreciated that there are some Christian items, including calendars, books, and other knick knacks. My only minor complaint is the line to pay. I only had a few items, but there is no self-check available, so I had to wait in the 1 line. Other than that, this is a nice crafts store with a decent yarn supply.
