The Paper Place

Smashing IT! Wow. What else can I say? But a huge WOW! I love this place. My soul loves this place. My eyes love this place! The selection of wrapping paper is so amazing. So amazing that I had a great idea. Inside of wall papering the whole paper, why not just pick up a few pieces of wrapping paper and use that instead or even better why not frame it? It's that gorgeous. Also, I love the selection of stationary, all sorts of amazing bold colours. I like to call this gem of a spot on Queen Street a bonanza of great exploding colours to tickle your the inner artist in you.

The store is fantastic, and the staff is incredibly patient and helpful. They went above and beyond to assist me with a last-minute pre-Christmas order. I also had the pleasure of attending their bookbinding workshop, which was a wonderful experience. I look forward to seeing more events like this in the future!

The Paper Place is a huge coup de cœur, I've seen many paper shops over the years and often feel like I’m stepping into similar experiences—fun but predictable, with products seemingly sourced from the same distributors. The decor may vary, but the overall experience often feels the same over and over again. However, The Paper Place stands out. From the moment you enter, it is clear that this shop is run by people who are passionate about paper. You can hear them talk about origami and supplies, and the staff are not only knowledgeable but also super enthusiastic about what they do. Their smiles and dedication is a proof of that. The care taken in selecting the paper and curating the store is evident. Every item is beautifully displayed, with thoughtful and charming presentation. I found myself wanting to stay longer, even considering leaving my job just to be surrounded by such an inspiring environment! I only wish I lived closer so I could visit more often. The next time I’m in Toronto, I’ll definitely be back. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

This was my second trip to the Paper Place. The first time I found so many beautiful papers to choose from. I selected 5 different designs for a bookbinding project. I was hoping to find some of the same types of paper in order to complete a project. I was willing to compromise by choosing papers of a similar style or colour. I was quite disappointed with the selections this time around. I learned that I could only order one type of paper and that the others may take months to come in or not at all. I travel about 150 km to shop at The Paper Place. In the future it is probably better to shop online. Sometimes this can be a challenge though depending on the intended use.

Beautiful variety, love that they have glass tiles and nails. Would love to see more sizes and shapes and maybe even pendant trays and necklace strings? But overall the stores clean and nice and products are beautiful.

A very good place for cute cards. It has other cute essentials like notepads and puzzles. It is an amazing handcrafted store for anyone who wants unique ideas.

THE PAPER PLACE IS THE PLACE TO BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Came to this paper haven one sunny spring day. Located across the street from Trinity Bellwoods park, this store truly earns it's name. It carries everything, and I mean EVERYTHING paper related: cards, notebooks, notepads, origami paper, wrapping paper, bunting, custom envelopes, handmade paper, puzzles- you name it! I ended up buying the peony notebook ($16) and "to do" notepad ($11) shown in the pictures below. The store was gorgeous to walk through and the staff were so sweet (side note: like the kind you'd expect to own a yarn store). Will definitely come by again to snatch up some more murdered tree goodies *insert obnoxious carbon footprint cackle.

I ordered 2 Cavallini vintage style puzzles from here. The delivery was super fast, puzzles are of great quality, and an inclosed hand-written note was a lovely touch! I recommend giving them a try and supporting a small Canadian business.
