This store is such a New York gem. Stationery lovers rejoice! Friendly, helpful staff! A great collection of pencils, notebooks, cards, and stickers. If you’re into bullet journaling, or you’re simply a fiend for good stationery, this place is for you!

I had heard about CW from a podcast and had to visit. It was as awesome as it sounded. Ruth pointed out some pencil options that sounded like theyd fit my style, an eraser and a nice sharpener. I also grabbed a .28 rollerball; crazy fine line. Definitely worth a visit... or several.

What a cool shop! The world needs more ✏️ s!

This store is a treat to browse. The owners clearly know their stuff and have curated a wonderful selection of quality products, many of which you wont find elsewhere.

I love this shop. I have bought several writing items from here and I love the quality also the detailed packaging. Reasonable prices and they offer a wide variety of products. Recommended 100%!!!

Fantastic Service. When you order stationery theres a certain expectation that the people running the store share the same passion and love of analog writing. Well CW Pencil exceed that expectation. My delivery came faster than expected and the care, thought and attention to detail that went into the delivery was exceptional. The order was packed like a tetris game and each item was hand wrapped in a different color wrapping with a unique closing sticker. A personalized note was included along with an itemized invoice and complimentary postcard. The items were carefully padded with brown paper and in perfect condition. I thought only high end Tokyo stores were capable of this kind of service. Youve won over a stationery lover and a cynic. You give the type of service others claim to but fail miserably on. Congratulations on paying attention to the smallest of details. Love your work. Your new biggest fan. Martin

I still love reading from a book with a cup of tea in my hand. I still love writing letters. I still love sending postcards. I still love pencils. All those with the love of old things this shop is a must place to visit. And while you are there dont forget to buy a few pencils. These pencils are from all around the world. Yes... So much variety. Some pencil s will take you down the memory lane of childhood days. Some will simply intrigue you. Some will attract your attention because of their unique shape or color. Next time visiting Newyork do visit even if you are all tech savvy now and dont use pencils anymore. I assure you this place will get you loving pencils all over again!The staff is amazing and helpful. Way to go pencil enterprise Team. Thumbs up!Thank you my dear cousins for introducing CW pencil enterprise.

If you love pencils, stationery, and everything in between, then consider CW Pencil heaven on earth. It’s a fun little shop that requires you to block off an hour of your day because I guarantee that you will get lost in the Sticker Room or find yourself having long conversations with the sales associates. It’s amazing how they know so much about pencils!

The staff here is so helpful and friendly. We spent a good 30 minutes just looking everything over and they answered all our questions. They asked what kind of writing tools I use now and recommended some things which I really enjoyed. Highly recommended!

Really Kool novelty store! Most unique collection of pencils and stickers I have ever seen. Went there on a request for a friend! Truly enjoyed the experience of shopping there! Visited from Louisiana!

Charming and vast collection of pencils and drawing notebooks from all over the world curated by an expert staff. Inexpensive & super fun to visit. Sweet and numerous stickers are also sold.

First thought was...this will be quick. Then I learned a lot of great info on pencils! That writer guy is loaded with knowledge. Hes a keeper.

A graphite universe. There’s a pencil for everyone, you’ll find it there. Please, stay.

I had massive expectations prior to visiting this place. They dont hold an exhaustive collection of pencils and related products. I couldnt see as many mechanical pencils as I hoped to see. If they have a specific mechanical pencil, they dont carry enough auxiliary items like the lead and paraphernalia. I was not very thrilled to find that they dont carry the famous Steadtler brand from Germany (perhaps they didnt have stock or they are not keen to have collections from other parts of the world as much as from Japan/ USA, Iam not sure). I wouldnt mind recommending a one-time visit.

This place is heaven for pencil lovers.Here you can find literally hundreds of different pencils from several parts of the world.The place is small, but dont be confused by the size! They have more things than what youd imagine.

Disappointed this trip. I was surprised at the poor quality of their paper products. And the pencil selection seems more limited. No Blackwing Volumes? Still, though, a selection of pencils that cant be found elsewhere.

Nice products and great staff she was super friendly

Ive been following CW Pencil Enterprise for a while and I finally ordered some pencils online. I was so excited to receive my package and I was definitely not disappointed! The pencils were reasonably priced and the packaging was beautiful. The pencils are amazing quality and I am so excited with my new stationary tools!! I opted for the gift wrap option just to see the beautiful, aesthetically pleasing packages. As soon as I received my package, I signed up for the quarterly pencil box - I am so excited!

Super fun niche pencil palace

I was looking for such store so long! Incredible atmosphere, very friendly staff!

This shop has a splendid selection of pencils from around the world, with knowledgeable staff to explain the application of each type of pencil.Some stationery, such as journals and loose paper, is also for sale; the shop has a small room on one side dedicated to stickers.A desk near the front window offers shoppers the opportunity to try out many of the pencils for sale.

They focus on all the little details when I revived my shipment it came with a personalized note (I always like to put a little Thank you or I hope you have a great day in my order notes) and wrapped and tied with twine. Its the little things they do, taking a moment out of their day, to connect with there customers that I love. I cant wait to shop with them in the future again. Hopefully, theyll make a rewards program, I know Id end up spending more!

Didnt really buy anything but they a decent selection unique and clever items. Some items are pretty cute as well.

Ive purchased replacement blades for pencil sharpeners twice now. Quick shipping. Also in the package on your order sheet, they write Thank You, your name, and the name of the person that took the order. That sounds super simple, but I have to say its that small touch that makes you feel the company isnt just a company, but a group of people that actually care.Thank you for the great customer service CW Pencil Enterprise!

I love this store. 99% of the merchandise is just different pencils, and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable about all of them. Ive honestly been kind of amazed by the history/facts about some of the pencil varieties. You can also order custom pencils--I got some made as wedding favors and our guests loved them so much that the box of extra pencils went missing. The store also has a really cute room of different stickers, and I think its probably the most extensive collection of stickers (and definitely the most unusual) Ive found in New York.

So many pencils!!!! I really enjoyed pre-packaged pencil sets “for the leftie”, “for taking tests”, etc. delicious pencils everywhere

The variety and arrangement of these pencils make me want to write the next great Russian novel, set in Chinatown of course.

Really good pre-packaged pencil sets

Small shop, but theres not a lot of fluff and the staff is usually really helpful. Cool people, cool pencils, and you can go as expensive or cheap as you want and still get something solid. There is also the pencil testing station, which is pretty cool if you dont feel like buying all the pencils when you first want to see if you might be interested in nice pencils and stuff.

Nice selection

We used this store as an excuse to visit NYC back in 2016 and have visited every year since, along with being regular customers online. If you’re a fan of the analog way of life and pencils, this little shop is for you.

Ordered online. Very good selection, and prices. Shipping rates were good and very fast. I really liked the handwritten thank you on the packing slip. It the little extra things like that make the customer service outstanding. I am looking forward to ordering from CW again.

Adorable and aesthetically appealing nook of a store. Wide selection of pencils from all over the world, plus other supplies (erasers, pens, pencil cases). My favorite part of the store was the designated sticker corner - I could have stayed there forever! Store owner is friendly and sweet. Definitely recommend!

A true gem of a store! I visited after hearing about it from multiple creatives, and I wasnt disappointed at all. Dont be fooled by the relatively small footprint of the store - there are a wide variety of pencils and other writing accessories here. The staff member on site was extremely helpful with her suggestions and recommendations when I had questions. I will definitely be coming here again on my next visit to the city.

I saw this place on an article online and I decided to visit on a whim and it did not disappoint! Their selection is amazing and most are very cheap and affordable. They even have prepackaged sets to for your pencil use. Ex: sketchers, note takers, jumbo pencils, pen lovers, etc.Other than pencils they also have a room in the back DEDICATED to stickers. Perfect for sticker lovers! Also great notebook and paper collection.

One of the most whimsically brilliant stores in NYC built around one concept — pencils. But unlike a number of stationery stores in the city, CW Pencil Enterprise lovingly ties together all aspects of pencil fandom: from a multitude of pencil models from around the world, to books about pencils, vintage pencil boxes, stickers, totes, and more.

I have never come to NYC (at least once a year) without treating myself to the experience of this store.Well organised, well stocked and with competent staff that always has a nice and friendly word for the clients.If you love your writing instruments and are shopping for pencils, this is the place you need.

Wonderful pencil shop on the lower East side. A little out of the way if youre playing tourist, but only two blocks from East Broadway on the F line. If you love pencils you have to visit. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable and can definitely help you find whatever you need.

Ordered online. Phenomenal service and packaging. Thank you.

Always fun shopping at CW. Love the new location! Found a few great new pencils and sharpener for myself and my illustrator wife.

Is amazing ! Unbelievable ! Once you get in the store, Is pretty hard to get out, you wish to spend hours looking around .

Wonderful selection and awesome customer service.Ordered pencils online but were sent to Brazil for some odd reason, I contacted customer service and they verified that the product was lost in a different country. They refunded my transaction and apologised, seeing as they were sold out of the pencils I bought. They could not replace the pencils that I bought, in spite that it was for a gift for my partner. However, the customer service and speed of postage is always on fleek and very timely. Always happy to shop from CW even though at times the postage cost is a little pricey, but that is also due to where I live. Best pencils and great descriptions on the product pages.

CW Pencil shop charming, owner Caroline and her staff delightful, and its fun to celebrate the simplicity of pencils!Worth the trip even if out of the way to go to the shop - however the online customer service is also top notch!My tip: the rich colored pencils with coverage like crayons are a MUST.Thank you Caroline & team!

A wonderful store created by a wonderful person staffed by wonderful people filled with wonderful stuff to buy!! Web orders are filled promptly. A personal visit to the store is a very fun thing to do. I highly recommend it.

A totally unique store for our days, though i didnt find here anything I hadnt previously owned. But I guess its value is to introduce this obsolete object to the digital generation.

I love this shop. If you want proper pencils then go here. Amazing range and well priced.

Very cool place. Staff is super nice and had all the answers I needed.

Amazing selection of pencils and pencil accoutrements. Very friendly, helpful and incredibly knowledgeable staff. A little off the beaten path, but worth the walk. If you want something beyond the ol Dixon Ticonderogas, this is your place.

Best pencil shop I know. Max is great!

How can you not love a little pencil shop on the Lower East Side? And the owner is a quirky interesting artist with a pencil tattooed up her arm! I got my daughters pencils with their names inscribed in gold lettering. Its the best pencil shop in the city. (Is there another?)

Pencil Paradise, and bonus room full of stickers. The person working when I visited was extremely pleasant.

Made my first visit to this little shop this summer. My traveling companions thought I was nuts wanting to find it. The friendly, helpful staff told me, Well, youll always be welcome here! Highly recommended!

Such an interesting concept! A whole store selling just pencils 😎 and they do have a wide selection ... most brands Ive never heard of. Sales staff were friendly, low pressure and knowledgeable.

Heard about this place from The New Yorker. Really cool place with very helpful kid working there. Im left-handed and he—also being left-handed—recommended a set of pencils that dont smear.Its a tiny place but has remarkable passion for what goes into crafting the perfect pencil.

Outstanding pencil and accessory selections. C.W. and her staff are the best! It you dont think you need pencils, well check out the website...Im sure you will find some you must have. Ah, the smell of cedar!

I am in love with this shop. I personally cant believe that a shop like this can survive in what New York City is today, but once you step inside you can see why its successful. Beautiful place and products!

If you like pencils, stickers, erasers, or cute things go here. The people that work there are rad and nice and it is the cutest little shop.

Ordered online and received my package yesterday. The packaging was lovely and the personal note was a nice touch. I will order again soon...love all my pencil treasures. I will definitely stop by on my next trip to NYC.

Fun selection of cool and eclectic items. Super sweet and helpful clerk.

Just super.As someone who works in an art supply & stationery shop, I was glad to geek out about pencils with the staff. They were friendly and helpful - gave me a list of other stationery shops to visit while I was in New York. Its just as cute as the photos would imply.

This shop is whimsical in every way! It is bursting at the seams with every kind of lead-filled writing implement available (and a healthy helping vintage treasures too). The displays are clean and charming, the staff is passionate and informed, and the bowl of Lemonheads at the counter is icing on the cake!

Cool little shop with a ton of unique and hard to find pencils. If youre into stationary, youre gonna be all about this shop. Check it out. If you dont know what youre looking for, the lady at the desk is super helpful and easy to talk to. Check it out yo!

Love every piece I order. The items always come quickly and a packaged beautifully. Its always sweet unboxing my merchandise even when I know what Ive ordered.

Pleasantly surprised,who knew there is so many different types of pencils

We got lost and the rain was pouring so we went in here for some shelter and a browse. My wee girl loved the stickers and she bought a pencil too. The staff were just lovely and I’m glad we found this place on our visit to New York.

Interesting little shop. Knowledgeable staff. Great selection of pencils and related items. Worth a visit.

Stumbled upon a cute pencil (stationary) store while in the area. There is all kinds of pencils and also old school pencils. They sell Shinola notebooks, which are my favorite. The prices are also reasonable. You cant step into the store without resisting the urge to buy at least one thing!

I have dealt with several Pencil Supply Stores on line, this is by far the warmest, most caring, friendliest, and helpful of all. Nothing like a little personal one on one honest caring, to make my day.I must give them 5 Stars + PLUS

Ive only ordered from their website, but the selection is really impressive, the prices are good, and the shipping is handled quickly with the products being packaged really well. Lots of respect for anything done with this much enthusiasm, focus, and quality.

I love this store. I dont live in the city, so I had some things shipped to me, and they came very quickly, and there was a nice hand written note.This store has the best pencils around.

I felt like I was studying abroad as I waited to enter CW Pencil. I sat on a desk chair reminiscent of elementary school and was on the border of Chinatown and the LES. Retail has adapted.

Was a pencil of the month before they shut it down. A nice surprise every month. Made a visit to the store, great people. Make a trip if you like to write.

Pencils.

Great shop, extensive stock and beautiful layout - if you enjoy stationery you will have a wonderful time visiting this gem!

This store is very cute, and my son was delighted to buy some special pencils.

Its a really cute place with large variety of pencils from the Globe. Dealing with Caitlin was quick and easy. Meeting Caroline the Owner was fun.

Bought a variety of pencils that I never knew existed from the online store. Received the products quickly, and packaged beautifully. Excellent service and attention to detail.

Very friendly and extremely helpful staff. A lot of cool thing Id you like your pencils.

Absolutely loved the shop, is pencil heaven.The staff is fantastic, friendly and helpful, hard to leave without buying half of the shop

Sweet fancy Moses, whats not to like ?! I ordered a just a few pencils...they arrived quickly...included was a hand written note of thanks as well - in pen...kidding. Bottom-line, flawless execution.

It is such a delightful little shop. We got a pencil with erasers on both ends from that little vending machine. It gave us a good laugh.

Wonderful international selection of highest quality items. Only needs Kaweco to be perfect...

Amazing little store. Must visit when in NYC

This place is such a delight. So wonderful, a regular weekend trip.

I love this pencil shop. Great products!

I have visited in person as well as ordered online multiple times. Their customer service is impeccable! I cant recommend them enough!

The pencil revolution is on! Arm yourself at CW. Anything pencil is here. Top quality service with an amazing variety for such an intimate shop. Grab a juice next door and then some Palomino Blackwings.

Must visit in NYC. Cant stop ordering new pencils back to Australia. Cant wait to visit again. One of earths unique retail experiences.

Tiny store but I couldve spent ages in there, if I wasnt pressed for time. Worth traveling to!

Fun quirky place! Loved the staff and the prices and the really cool selection

Found an adjustable pencil sharpener, caps to protect the sharpened tips of pencils, and a wider variety of pencils than I knew existed along with staff who could explain it all from their own experience.

They have my favorite pencils and is not expensive!

They have all sorts of pencil you can think of and the service is simply the best in town! The attention to details and the customer is unique.

Great place for pencil lovers and the cute things they offer

Cool little shop for the pencil and pen nerds, myself included

A+ spot. The staff is very friendly and very knowledgeable ! Nice selection of pure quality wood and graphite ! I highly recommend a visit. The attention to detail is just great !

Very inspiring story! you have inspired me to go and buy a pencil today....the romance of pencil alive and kicking

So adorable and it has reawakened my love of pencils. Lots of nice cases and notebooks too.

I love the people there, they are one of the nice people

A really awesome little shop to visit while in NYC. Full of awesome stuff and the owner is super friendly
