Decided to try a fountain pen for the first time and feel very lucky that Atlas is just around the corner from my office. Was immediately offered help when I walked in the door at lunchtime and Charles did a thorough and patient job of walking me through my options and helping me pick my pen. He even showed me how to load it up with ink for the first time. This is an easy store to love—enthusiastic staff who are passionate about what they’re selling. Will definitely be back.

A great store and an even greater staff! Alvin and Tim both helped me today and were very knowledgeable and helpful. I appreciated their patience with all of my questions. Great job to Tim, Alvin and the whole team. Thank you and I will be back.

Ive had nothing but great experiences with Atlas Stationers. Their selection is great, theyre knowledgeable, and their customer service is fantastic. Thats especially important when youre shopping online. When I had an issue with a recent order - the mistake was mine - Atlas was quick to respond to my questions and so easy to work with. Their response was generous and friendly - exactly the sort of thing that creates loyal customers!

Wonderful customer service and selection of fine pens. The sales associate was very knowledgeable and patient, helping us decide on a quality fountain pen which will deliver years of joyful use.

Placed an order I made a mistake with my email. They were very helpful after I figured what I did. Ordered arrived in time. They were very nice and helpful.

An amazing stationery store. An unparalleled selection of fountain pens. A wide selection of ink, paper, and all the essentials for an office.The staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and wonderful to chat with.I can only wish I lived closer. I would be there often.

Pens and paper and pens and notebooks and pens. Quality stuff here. Family run, with excellent service. Interesting gifts and greeting cards selection.

Excellent experience. I have purchased a few pens from Atlas and will continue to do so. I have had experience with dealing with Brian and Brendan, the customer service is next level. They have earned a life long customer. I highly recommend.

Stopped into store for first time having ordered online several times.Met entire family and staff. Great selection of pens, inks, paper, and stationery items.Awesome service. Purchased two pens, a Galen A5 zippered pen folio, ink, and great cards.Visit Atlas in person or online. Glad Chicago still has a great pen store.

Beautiful beautiful family-run store with super friendly owner and the biggest selection of fountaim pens and ink Ive ever seen! Also plenty of notebooks, cute gifts, and novelty items if youre not into pens. Truly a delight!

Ive been ordering office supplies from Atlas for the past year and I love their selection. I stopped into their store this week and found the service to be excellent! The assortment of pens was surreal! So happy they are local!

Friendly and helpful staff, excellent selection of pens and stationary. Highly recommend!

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Come with plenty of time to peruse the store.

Excellent customer service, very attentive and knowledgeable. The selection of fountain pens, notebooks, ink, and stationery is impressive. They sell tons of greeting cards as well. My new favorite store in Chicago.

Such a neat shop! Brendan is so knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Hes like a long-lost friend who has great customer service skills. They have everything there. Great fountain pen selection, great paper, and a vast selection of inks and other accessories. Stop by, and youll be glad you did! Not at all pretensious, very welcoming, and great service. Cant go wrong at Atlas!

Impressed by their new website launch, my husband and I ordered 3 new pens. We ordered on a Monday night and had our pens by Friday... all the way to our home in Hawaii! 5 star customer service is what makes this family-owned business unique and awesome. Will buy again! Free shipping over $30, even to Hawaii! Amazing!

4 generations of this family owned gem of a shop will bring major happiness to any pen + paper lover. Knowledgeable, patient & kind are the first 3 words that come to mind when thinking about the experience at Atlas Stationers.Support small business!

Very friendly owners and staff. Has a variety of stationery Ive been looking for. Its far from my hometown but I sure will always drop by this place whenever Im in downtown Chicago.

I LOVE shopping here...and its only 650 miles away! The staff are SO helpful and courteous and patient! Prices are great, and if they dont have it, I probably dont need it.

I walked in unaware Atlas would be closing in 5 minutes. But Brendan and Brian treated me like I was the first customer of the day. Came in for a notebook, which I left with, as well as a beautiful fountain pen and a lesson on its proper care and feeding.There are some things that simply cannot be approximated on the Internet, and the differences between the way various pens feel in the hand, and write, is one of them. Extremely satisfied with the service and pleasantly surprised by their very competitive prices. Highly recommended.

Great company. Very happy overall. I have bought only online and it was a pleasure. We ran into some product issues (not their fault) and customer service was fast in answering and following up on every stage of the process with the manufacturer. My issue was solved and I am very happy... Yes, you might find better prices nowadays on Amazon and other portals, BUT customer service, personalized at this level, money cant buy! THANKS

I ordered some of my favorite notebooks from their online store. The price was very reasonable and shipping was fast! They had my order in the mail the same day. I will definitely be ordering from Atlas again when I need to restock.

This Place Is AMAZING!!! Not only do they have disinfectant spray in stock and I was able to purchase some for both of my grandmothers. On top of that I was just there and forgot to remove my debit card and the lady Therese working there brought it to my job. TRULY AMAZING!!! I will always patronize this business.

Awesome store! Great people! Super helpful. Fantastic selection!!!!!

I discovered Atlas after Century Pens closed. It is a wonderful and friendly place to buy a nice fountain pen ✒️

Store is run by a friendly family who knows their products inside and out. I had a great first time experience and will definitely be going back. Great Chicago business to support.

Very good shop, wonderful selection and knowledgeable staff. If youre looking for a new pen, ink or stationary they can hook you up.

Michael Carbonaro! Come on manager. Tell me what it was like when he was there. 😀

Amazing customer service, fast shipping and great prices. Love my new pen and ink. Will definately shop here again. Thanks!

Fantastic all around and heaven for pen/stationery goblins.

I made a purchase on-line, I got a great deal on a Pineider, the pen has just arrived and its beautiful. I will certainly keep checking their website.

Very professional and friendly family owned business.Know their products

They have everything, plus the best fountain pen selection in the Midwest.

Man, I love this store. Been coming here for years, for everything from office supplies to gifts, to fine writing instruments and inkwells for my boss, to just the cool regular pens for myself. Service is always helpful, the gift selection is delightfully eclectic, and I always leave with a smile on my face. I have referred so many people to this place, happily. Oh - their sidewalk sales in the summer are full of amazing deals!

Amazing workers that know the pens very well. Extremely helpful and polite, answer all and any questions you may have. Will definitely be going back !

Very pleased that I got such a great deal on a specific pen. Quick (free) shipping to the west coast. There was a small issue with my order, honestly no big deal, but they were very responsive and reached out to fix it. I’ll be shopping with Atlas again in the future. 👍

I love this place. The staff is always helpful and I always find things I wasnt even looking for.

I stopped in quickly this morning Atlas for the first time. I needed some updated stationary. They had a great variety, which I appreciated. What was notable about this experience, was how positive, and energized the staff members were.

What, theres still a brick & mortar store like this?? Yes. Stop in for a GREAT variety of gift & card items. Love this place & stop in anytime Im on Lake St.

It was a pleasure to step into this store. Everyone was friendly and they seemed to have a bustling amount of customers searching for and purchasing things. It was also a pleasure to be able to find at least something I needed, Heavier Stock, legal 8.5 x 14 size paper. You generally cant find that kind of specific paper unless you have access to a paper only supply store or purchase online. I also found some pens I like so theres that. Overall, Ill be back!

Fantastic local store with a great selection of pens (fountain and otherwise), inks, and paper at reasonable prices. Friendly and knowledgeable staff are eager to help you find exactly what you need. Tons of other fun items in addition to the great stationery options.

For those who are old enough to get the reference, this is the Cheers of the pen/stationary world because Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name And theyre always glad you came. The staff is always available to help and their knowledge is vast that all your questions are answered and then some! The store has a great selection, great prices, and of course the staff always makes you want to come back for more!

Phenomenal supply store! High quality stationery for the discriminating consumer. Good selection of fountain pen and accessories, a huge array of paper and paper goods, a strong variety of inks, and an absolute TON of fun knick-knacks. Great service full of knowledgeable staff with friendly smiles. An absolute must-stop for stationery enthusiasts in Chicago.

I watched this place grow into wonderful oasis of all things stationery, with special focus on fountain pens. People are wonderful and knowledgeable, they organize events all the time. Really happy we have something like this in Chicago.

They were perfect. My order arrived in 4 days. And they sent a note along with it.

Great, awesome, wonderful little place. They have all your basic office supplies plus odd gag gifts and educational kids toys. Their annual sidewalk sale always has super awesome deals. The closeouts in the back corner of the store also offer great deals.

Cant recommend this store enough! Used to buy all of my pens and stationary online, but since meeting Brendan and the staff I wouldnt go anywhere else! Huge variety and friendly atmosphere!

Great selection of products, particularly notebooks and Fountain pens. But theyre sticklers about returns without a receipt. No exceptions.

I recently got into paper journaling and stumbled across this place by way of my colleagues recommendation. I love this place. If youre into pens, paper, or quality office goods in general, this is your place! The staff here is great and super knowledgeable. If youre around and this is your thing - check them out!

I’ve stopped here for birthday cards and pens. They have a huge selection of cards as well as a very helpful and friendly staff. Check out the sale shelf in the back of the store. I keep finding fun things at bargain prices.

Absolutely great service owned by real people. The inventory is a perfectly curated selection for all budgets and Mr. Gasparons attention is fantastic!

Such a cool store, great stationary supplies and fun random trinkets. Best supply of Archie Mcphee items outside of Seattle, including Sunny the Blobfish. I will come here anytime I need a fun gift for friends and family.

I love Atlas. They have a great greeting card selection and lots of fun unique gifts and holiday merchandise. Their Annual Summer Sidewalk Sale is a great time to stock up on gifts and supplies. They also participate in the Belly Rewards program, so you can rack up the points and get some nice things for free.

They have a little bit of everything. I can almost always find a fun last minute gift here. Great card selection and a huge assortment of pens. Dont miss the summer sidewalk sale where there are always great deals.

A really great little shop with kind staff. Made us feel welcome when we first arrived. Even pointed out savings on products that would suit us if we came back another day. My daughter and I love it there. Melissa and Doug merchandise, novelty items, mens shaving, candles, and omg what paper and stationery products cant you get there?! Fantastic shop. Definitely take a look! And visit often.

Atlas is the place to go if youre in the north Loop area, the people there are knowledgeable about their products (especially pens!) and are willing to order what you need to keep your office running. They also have a bunch of quirky gifts and cards for the unexpected office birthday too! (Always be sure to check out the clearance section in the back, there are some great deals back there too!)Once a year they also have a sidewalk sale in August, which has some great deals too! Keep an eye on their Facebook page, Atlas has events with pen reps coming out to show off the best new thing!

Great products, great people, great service. What’s not to like?

Excellent service and selection. I always find something interesting and worthwhile at this eclectic stationery store. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. If they do not have they can get it next day.

Wonderful selection of both basic and high-end office supplies, stationary, and kitsch. I reccomend for last-minute gifts, of both practical and gag varieties. If youre a pen nerd, they have a selection of pens, parts, and inks unmatched by any other brick and mortar store Ive been to.

Good prices and fast shipping.

Great store! Nice people. Little gift shop meets little office supplies store.

This place is amazing, they have tons of fountain pens and their employees are so helpful and knowledgeable.

Love this place. They have individual pens and also hard to find gel pens.Huge selection of Lamy(R) pens, cartridges and a variety of ink colors.

I went it hearing good things about this place so I was pretty excited. Especially knowing, that here in Chicago there are not too many stores like these. As soon as we walked in the staff greeted us and asked if we needed help. After browsing for a bit, I finally went over to the fountain pens and Charles greeted me and immediately started going above and beyond for me. He knows alot and I learned so much after my 40 minutes in there. He helped me choose a TWSBI that I wanted and he even let me look at other pens. This place is really cool and I am glad it is here in Chicago.

Love dropping by here to find random gifty things that inspire smiles! Silly and sarcastic little dittys for all ages. I hear they have office supplies, too ;-)

Such a wide range of inks! You can get any stationery supply here, too, not just fancy pens.

Atlas is a STEALTH GIFT SHOP - they have an abundance of cards, Chicago stuff, and white elephant gifts as well as stim toys, big toys, and plushies. Fountain pen selection is superb, as is their wall of bound notebooks and clearance corner. Everyone is very nice and helpful and the service makes the slightly higher prices well worth it (compare to: blick, Staples, online options like jetpens or Amazon)

A good old fashioned stationary store with a good assortment of gifts, pens, cards and office supplies. Family place and very friendly

Has plenty off nice pens

Love this shop,

Wonderful store! If you cant find it, call Atlas, they will. Best selection and customer service around.

Good variety of fine pens. Great customer service

The staff knows their stuff. And they are old-school and let you carry a balance billed to your office. Plus some high-end pens. Dont miss the sidewalk sale.

This crew does an excellent job! They usually have what you need and they will get it to you for free in the loop!

Super service. Never a problem.

In love with this store and their gift items!

I absolutely love them! They are always pleasant and thorough! Keep up the great work!!!!

Poor customer service. I requested to talk to the manager about a particular product. I was given his business card and asked to call back. When I did call back the same person answered the phone and said the manager wouldnt talk to me. Extremely poor service. I wont be shopping there again.

Lots of stuff for your stationary needs. Knowledgeable staff. Many choices.

Excellent selection of writing journals and notebook calendars. The staff are very friendly too.

Great staff and huge selection. Really happy I stumbled into this place.

Fantastic pen selection and really helpful staff

Best birthday card selection in the Loop by far!

Always receive prompt and professional services. If product is not in stock, can order and pick up the next morning.

For all that paperwork and agreements you can’t find anywhere else great service thank you

Atlas has whatever pen or office supplies you are looking for!!

Love this store and its stationary!

Great people, great prices

Really fast delivery!

I could spend hours walking around the books. Friendly staff.

Always a favorite!

Stationary, young kids toys, office supplies, greeting cards and Chicago knickknacks.

Great gifts!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, great collection of fountain pens. Will definitely return.

This store represents my desire as a stationery control. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a full range of squid and color. Going inside, there is a library of Midori and TN. The purpose of my trip, Filofax, was soon coming to my attention. Classic Croc Pocket Organizer Chestnut is simply not cool. The clerk introduced me to the pen with great enthusiasm and stuffed the Pelikan M600 into my hand. I cant resist it.In the end, I was still hungry and returned to rationality. I bought the last Maruman memory goddess A5 and the green cherry blossom hook pen in the store, and went to the Costa Vida across the street for dinner.Think of Gillio and Filofax at home, think about the Montblanc Greek blue ink at home, think about the young, I dont have enough income sources, think about so many books on the bookcase. Satisfied. There will be a period later.P.S. The next day, I came back with Zoe. Accompany her to carefully touch and pick up the new semester notebook before catching the train. Back at school, I was already thinking about going to the store next time to buy things to touch and buy. I left the shopping bag in the store to make B5 and B6 loose-leaf paper storage bags.

Very courteous staff. The seller took a lot of time and even researched the product on the Internet.
