Just a really enjoyable time browsing and shopping. It was nice to meet miss Pamela and her cute dog. Had the exact inks and cartridges I needed for my different fountain pens. Looking forward to my next visit.

Overall had a wonderful experience. Outstanding customer service when inquiring about fountain pens. Business took the time to explain a lot and did not get up sell pressure. Prices were reasonable, but the service is what this place is about. Thank you!

I love this place so much. They have a wonderful selection of pens and inks and notebooks. The owner is super friendly and helpful and has the cutest dog. I love supporting local business owners whenever I can too!

Im skeptical of any item or place that has nearly perfect reviews. However, this small, quiet shop tucked away did not disappoint. The shop owners were friendly, knowledgeable, and the quality and price of items I needed were very good for a local store. In this generally buy before you try world, I was surprised to see that one can try inks before committing. Ill be back, and I see no reason to stop the 5-star trend.

Exactly as a stationery shop should be! Wonderful customer service, (with a perfect little greeter named Inky!) Lots of beautiful AND affordable items to choose from. I purchased a new fountain pen, ink, paper, and had extra in my budget to purchase a few regular pens. My son found a journal and Blackwing pencils which I cant wait to try. This shop is a must visit! Whether new to fountain pens or knowledgeable, it is worth a visit! This shop definitely meets up to its name!

Pam, the shopkeeper, was very helpful in finding what I was looking for. I came in looking for a bottle of fountain pen ink. There is an excellent assortment if high quality inks and pens on sale, as well as stationary from Rhodia, Leuchtterm, and other fountain pen friendly companies. Dont forget to ask for a military discount if you are active duty!

Super friendly and very helpful. She took her time explaining the difference between pens. Very patient with me while I looked at probably half the pens in the store. Cute and quaint little shop.

Fantastic selection of pens and bottle inks! Pamela was so lovely and helpful, letting us try a whole bunch of inks, and offering to change the nib on the Pilot I bought. She was very knowledgable when we had questions. Their little dog was a sweety, too!

The owner is very knowledgeable and very friendly. Her store has the largest fountain pen selection of any store in the area. As well as being a good store owner she has managed to make her space seem homely and elegant at the same time. She brings her little dog with her to work and plays oldies (Rolling Stones, Styx, Hall & Oates, and Aerosmith while I was there) on the radio. Basically, what Im saying is Ive never felt more welcome in a store before while also receiving such extraordinary customer service. If youre interested in pens at all this is a must go to destination.

I was looking to get into fountain pens and they had exactly what I wanted! I tried several places before coming here such as Office Depot, Walmart and Michaels to no avail. They really seem to know their stuff! I was a little startled walking in because they have a puppy that was right at my feet as I came in the door but he is very friendly once you introduce yourself :) The lady who was there was really nice and had a lot of useful information about using and maintaining the pens I bought.

I went to this store looking for a certain item. Pam was very helpful and friendly. I really appreciated the personal service that you just dont seem to get at other bigger stores. I love this place and will definitely be visiting again very soon. And she carried the items that I was looking for! I highly recommend you visiting and taking a look around.

I happened to find Pen Lovers Paradise while looking online for a fountain pen. Being new to this, I didnt want to make a purchase online - I wanted to be able to figure out what I liked in person.I was so pleasantly surprised by this store! Its a nice size shop with tons of things stationary related. Pens (not so much pencils - Id love if she had some blackwings) and all kinds of inks and papers.I greeted the little dog who barked at us to say hello - hes adorable.Pamela was so exceptionally helpful! She was so nice to chat with and help me figure out what I wanted. I felt no pressure to buy better or more expensive she helped me find what would suit me best.You just cant beat a great local store with nice people. Yes, the prices are a bit higher than you can search for and find online. However what I can say is that I had an idea of what I thought I wanted from online research. The pen was a more expensive one and when I felt it in person I would have been unhappy with my purchase if Id shopped online.I will certainly be visiting A Pen Lovers Paradise in the future.

I have been trying to find a store to equal this one in my current city and I havent found anything remotely close. If you need anything related to calligraphy or stationary, or even just some really cute cards and pens, this is your place. Every time I go in there is something new and it is so, so fun. I cant wait to go back the next time I visit home.

Really excellent service. Pam is very knowledgeable of what she sells and so friendly and helpful. I came in with a gbvbudget for a gift and she walked me through the pens that fit in my budget. I was so pleased with the pen Id bought as a gift that I bought one myself!Also important is that I regularly buy refills for my pen and Pam has managed to ship me my stuff very promptly at a reasonable shipping fee.

Pamela was very welcoming and informative. I went in to buy my first fountain pen and she was patient and knowledgeable. The pen and paper selection is great and the store is very nice! I feel comfortable with my purchase and plan to order from her again in the future.

A real gem of a store!! Pam is a very nice lady, and her little dog who walks around the store is so cute and friendly!!! There is an impressive selection of all types of pens, from fountain to ballpoint/rollerball. The paper selection is nice, and the ink selection is absolutely amazing. It blows other stores out of the water!! Pam carries almost every Noodlers ink as well as a great selection of other brands!! She has things available at a wide range of prices, so you can always find something! Her prices on Lamy products are extremely good, and she even threw in ink cartridges in for free when I bought a pen :)
