The Paper Place

Wow!!! If you are obsessed with all things paper, notebooks, pencils, etc., then this is the story for you!!! It’s a bit on the pricier side but it’s so much fun to explore and discover and all the beautiful paper and craft designs. Bring back handwritten letters because this place has the coolest options with unique art and stickers🤩

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!

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!

I love beautiful stationery. I think it's such a small way to brighten up and add creativity to life in a stressful world. I travel a lot and always make time to check out and support local stationery stores wherever I go, and The Paper Place is my favorite one in the Western hemisphere. Imo the only place that comes anywhere near it in the US is Kinokuniya in Manhattan, but I think The Paper Place easily tops it in non-book merchandise. The attached photo doesn't do their products justice, but trust me, as someone who has spent an absurd amount of time and effort looking at stickers and pretty papers and gorgeous cards and whimsical office products, their inventory is top-notch. So well-curated and unique and a great variety of designs and objects. I ended up buying a dozen individual cards in addition to stickers, papers, and memo pads because I simply couldn't eliminate any of them. It's probably better for my wallet that I live over 400 miles away, but I can't wait to visit again when I'm back in Toronto!

We LOVED The Paper Place when we lived in Toronto and used to go all the time for all kinds of things. When we moved away to Québec province, we assumed we'd left it behind - but we were wrong. I was recently looking for something online - NOT from Amazon - and there it was, available at The Paper Place. It made us so happy to find some beautiful things there - and to have the chance to support them again. The order was flawless, start to finish. I will order from them again, any chance I get.

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.

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.
