This little Japanese design shop looks more like something you would find on King East than in the middle of a bunch of restaurants on Baldwin. As a result, I don't think they do as well, business-wise, as they could. It's one of those places you wouldn't really come across unless you were specifically looking for it.
Anyways, it is small and fun to browse for quirky gift items. What can you find at Cubeshops you ask?
- A door stopper that looks like a banana peel
- Animal-shaped rubber bands
- Hanger-shaped paperclips that won't mark your photos and let you hang them from pins (instead of making holes in your photos when you put them on a corkboard)
- All kinds of mugs
- Stationary
- Reusable shopping bags
Items are on the expensive-end, but so aesthetically pleasing, and many items come with a sticker with a profile of the designer. My only complaint is that I have been shopping here every now and then for the past couple years since it opened, and the stock has changed very little. Otherwise, great place and polite, friendly service. I like how they use one of those staple-less staplers to attach your receipts!
