“• Maido (Japantown): I first went to Maido looking for a specific sketchbook by Trystrams. They do carry it, but it wasn’t available in-store and there was no clear restock timeline.
• Topdrawer (Valencia): They only carry proprietary items and don’t stock the Trystrams sketchbook, but the person there immediately pointed me towards the Wishing We’ll workshop.
• The Wishing Well Workshop (Clement): They looked for it and realized they were all sold out. The owner immediately placed an order in multiple colors and took my contact info to notify me when it arrives. The reason I went through all this: the Trystrams sketchbook is thin, easy to carry, and the paper quality is exceptional.
Love this workshop!”
“What great service! Especially for an online order. A different online retailer decide not to tell me that a key part of a birthday present for my wife, Nutscene Garden Twine, was back ordered, which I only discovered because it didn't ship after 4 or 5 days. Scrambling, I found Arch Art Supplies had some in stock. Unfortunately the color I chose was out of stock but instead of leaving me hanging Arch Art reached out directly to ask me if one of the other colors would be ok and then quickly got it shipped to me...with a couple of days left till the birthday! It was a small order but they went out of their way to provide great service....can't thank them enough...and can't wait to visit the shop in person.”

“This place is amazing. If you need anything for sculpture and/or moldmaking this place has it. Fantastic staff, as well. Definitely check it out if you are makin some art!”
“I got a great quality memobook here. I'm very picky about personal stationery that doesn't degrade or fall apart (sagging spines, damaged page fringes, 'writes' nicely with a ballpoint pen, and oh of course writes smoothly with MUJI pens).
The shop ladies were a little wary when I was going around their book selection with a ruler to measure exact dimensions (my work bag can't fit medium or large notebooks), so I quickly picked a memobook with tearable pages and finished the purchase.
Lovely set up, wish I had more time to browse other stuff.”
“This is my second time visiting scrap. I went about 3ish weeks ago and the inventory I was interested in (paper, stamps, stickers) were completely different. I got a ton of stuff both times for under 5 bucks. Cant beat the prices !
Still hoping for a die cut machine though!”
“Please note that the brick and mortar location is no longer a gallery. The owner has moved the gallery contents to his apartment up the street, which can be viewed by appointment. I was lucky enough to call and catch him while he was in to view his amazing collection. I was thoroughly impressed by his array of strange objects and curios. I do wish that he would open a better website (most of the photos on the current website are inoperable) - something on Instagram, Chairish, or 1st Dibs would really expand his clientele and make it more accessible. *UPDATE: The website works better on a computer browser than on a cell phone!*”
“Nice curation of kids toys, books and gift items! We stopped by to pick up something for a 4 year olds birthday and we found it hard to pick just one - so many amazing choices!”
“They almost always have what I'm looking for here. The store is well organized with an open floor layout these leaves lots of space, even when they're busy. Staff is always super kind and helpful.”
“This is an awesome store! So many cool toys, stickers, stamps, miniatures, etc.!
Also, an impressive inventory of arts and craft items.
Shop-keeper is very kind and generous; helping me out with my Halloween costume and keeping an eye out for bat themed items.
It is a joy to be able to support a wonderful small business ( over Amazon).
I highly recommend!”
“Went here for some elastic for a sewing project. They didn't have the exact one I wanted, but I was able to get the size that I needed. Also, surprisingly not that busy on a Sunday afternoon. While I was impressed with what fabrics they did have, as a fashion designer, the fabric selection was nothing more than costume furs, flannel and quilting cottons. Great selection of yarns and knitting/ crochet items though. Also, liked their selection of sketchbooks and drawing tools. Overall, great arts & crafts store, but could be better as a fabric store.”
“Customer Service was TOP NOTCH!!! What can I say? I came in on a Saturday morning needing to buy a list of drawing supplies for my daughter’s art class and Chris came to the rescue to help me find everything. He made suggestions to substitute items with a different brand, so that I wouldn’t have to go to another store. What a great place to shop for art supplies!”
“This is the place to go to if you love stationary. But. Beware. It’s not a cheap. And there is so much cute stuff here that you will be hard pressed to leave without buying something.
The stamps and the washi tapes/ Japanese masking tapes especially are so cute and the options so many.
I…ended up spending a lot more than I’d planned to. But all is well that ends well right? I guess. ?”
“Blick Art Materials is a giant nationwide chain of art stores. As such the things they sell are good but not great. However they carry a very wide selection of art supplies so you will need this store to supply all the additional things you can't get from specialty stores.”
“More of a knickknack store/gift shop than a true stationery store. Not as serious as, for example, Maido. So if you're looking for fountain pens, inks, and quality writing paper or notebooks, this is not the place you're looking for. This is more of a cute store for the casual shopper.”

“CFM’s paints, supplies, and classes are all phenomenal. I love finding an excuse to schlep out to Ocean Beach so I can stop in and buy more fun stuff. I’m so glad I found this place — and a new hobby in watercolor!”
