DeSerres Danforth

Beautiful clean Art store on the Danforth. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The store is huge, you'll never guess it from the outside.

Am I ever glad for the Danforth bike lane. If not for that, I wouldn't have noticed this charming art supply shop, and at a time that I desperately needed supplies for my daughter for her crafty project for her school's holiday fair. This place is cozy, and packed to the brim with all sorts of art related needs. Despite how packed the place is, it does not feel cluttered nor claustrophobic. Very well organized, I found what I was looking for with little effort, and it was priced as expected. This will likely be my go-to art supply shop from now on.

A great stop for anyone who loves art or design. The store is full of quality supplies for painting, drawing, and crafting, and everything is neatly organized by medium. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable, always ready to help you find the right brush, paper, or color. Prices are fair for the quality, and the atmosphere feels inspiring from the moment you walk in. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to start a new creative project right away.

I absolutely love the quality of their products and the selection. The staff are friendly and approachable. It is definitely a good place for artists to find materials. They also have great children's art sets and creative tools. Making DeSerres a go-to when getting gifts for the little ones in your lives. I highly recommend DeSerres Danforth. Happy to have this store in the neighborhood!!!

Went in today looking for very specific items. The manager was extremely rude, abrupt, impatient and very unpleasant! Despite me being very polite. She was so rude I asked another employee what her name was. ‘I already said’ for example in a very condescending and hostile tone. An employee made a very hasty search to find what I was looking for. No one wanted to be explain the differences between various products. I have spent several thousand dollars at this location over the past 20 years. To say that I am very disappointed in the manner in which I was treated is a vast understatement.

2 members of staff, heled sell me the wrong supplies for my project. i trusted their advice, they both sounded confadent. My disappointment was overwelming. I wasted the cost of my own transportation, to be sold the wrong product.

Very helpful staff. I was looking for a large sketch board I couldn’t find anywhere, and the lady on the phone suggested an alternative solution that was pocket friendly. They are very knowledgeable and their service is amazing. I love how easy it is to order and pick up curb side. And they offer a student discount, which Above Ground is not doing right now. Right now is the time when student discount is especially helpful - not that many jobs. Every little bit helps. Thank you DeSerres!

it’s a good place to get art supply but the customer service is extremely unreliable even when there’s very few in the store

I've been coming to this DeSerres for ages, and the staff are always really kind and knowledgeable. The prices are a bit steep, but that's to be expected of good quality art supplies. One thing that annoys me, and the reason I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5, is that the paint price lists can be a little misleading. They always put the price for series 1 paint (the cheapest) at the top, in a larger font, then all the other (higher prices) are listed underneath. Most of the time they don't organize the paint by series number either, which adds a fun level of tedium to every visit. Besides that, it's a pretty solid establishment, and I'm glad to have a local art supply store.

I'm indecisive between a 3 and a 4 star rating for Deserres. They had the good art products that artists need, and to me it seemed to be decently cheap canvas. They had the good quality paints such as Windsor and newton as well, and golden acrylics. Some stuff did seem very expensive though. Signing up for their creative club is a good idea though, especially as a student, as you get double the points on their points program. Service however isn't too good, as they have university art students, and I, being another student, was surprised that they didn't offer help when my arms were full of stuff. But they were friendly at the cash. The store is also well laid out, even with all the other crafts products there, which seemed to be good too. It was more straightforward to find stuff than at Michaels, where everything is everywhere it seems to me. Overall a decent store and I'll definitely be going here more for supplies :)

always great customer service to support their great products whenever I have a creative inkling, and I need all the help I can get

DeSerres is one of a good place to buy art supplies. They prices are not as expensive as other art stores. The staffs are nice and friendly. I have bought lots of art supplies from this store for a good amount of price!! I definitely recommend this store!!

There is a huge variety of good stuff here, and it's usually fairly straight forward to find what you are looking for. The people are friendly and helpful most of the time. We keep coming back.

Great store-- just know the store has moved to west of coxwell and danforth, and not open right now. Potentially opening early 2017 is what I read somewhere.
