The Paper + Craft Pantry

This is my new favorite store. Like, everything is so cute *and* functional and I wish I had millions of dollars to drop here. If you love stationery, this is the place to go in Austin. They have lots of Japanese products, too. I’ll be back. P.s. The people who work there are cool and super nice, too.

Such a cute store! It sells some of my very favorite stationary products. I have always wanted to try a blackwing pencil and was so grateful that they sold singular ones so I could! This store offers some of the award winning stationary products, so it's really worth checking out!! Stickers, notebooks, pens, pencils, clips, storage boxes, cards, and more! So glad to have this local gem near us.

This stationery store made my day! Visited Austin for the weekend & was delighted to find this shop. They carry unique designs & a variety of products for all of my journaling, planning & “arting” needs. Thank you, it was a true pleasure!

This place has an abundance of paper goods for journaling and planners! So many Japanese brands you can’t find in other stores. Lots of journals, planners, greeting cards, washi tape, stickers, and more. The prices are pretty fair for high quality goods. The shop itself was so cute and the employees were friendly!

Cutest little shop! The employees were so kind and the supplies inside were comparable to none. There were many different kinds of journals, ones for travel, others for books, and a ton of art supplies, a wall for pens, one for stickers, and they even had paint supplies, which was unique for a stationary store. Not to mention the wall of cards, all very cute and unique.

The Paper & Craft Pantry is an oasis of all things cute & cozy- the staff are always warm & welcoming! They have the best selection of cards (many that could double as art for your walls), yummy snacks, fun workshops, cute home decor and they host amazing local markets throughout the year. A must stop in Austin for all your stationery needs!

Super cute with really helpful staff. They had a curated selection of stickers, washi tape, notebooks, pens, etc. They also had some hobonichi items, which I was surprised by. Highly recommend if you love stationary/journaling.

It literally just occurred to me that I've been coming here for quite some time now and have never written a review 🤦‍♀️ I come here once every other week, sometimes more often. Everyone here is SO nice, always. Regardless of what emotional state I'm in (sad, happy, tired), everyone here will take care of you. Everything you find here is on par with the level of customer service. You can find THE cutest and I have been sending items from this shop to my pen pals for about a year or so now. I'm in love, they're in love. This shop deserves all the love. Sincerely, Miranda

My daughter and I went to this super cute store a couple of months ago. A huge selection of paper goods, notepads, cards, pens, stickers, and a lot of gift ideas. I loved everything and wish I had unlimited amounts of money to spend here - TAKE ALL MY DOLLARS!! Ha! The employee in the store was friendly and very attentive. I loved the way the clerk carefully packed up our items. We purchased stickers, notepads, cards, a small cross-stitch kit, and a few other things that I cannot remember now. I feel like the items were priced well for an indie-store and everything was high quality, my favorite thing is my notepad that has "Sh*t To Do" at the top with a cat printed at the bottom in her litter box. So funny. The only thing I disliked was that parking was tough. We were there during the week and I thjnk there were just a lot of offices that people work at in the same complex of stores. It was just hot out - on cooler days, it would be awesome to just stroll this area and visit all the shops. Not marking down any points for the parking but just be ready to search for a spot. We will be back, though!! I wish I had taken some pictures of the store to share but I guess you'll just have to go check it out yourself. I added photos of a few things we purchased.

My second go-to spot for cards and gifts. Great selection of cards, stationary, gifts, and more. Nice prices. Nice staff.

This is an adorable shop with a nice variety of inventory. Planner fanatics will love this place - tons of beautiful pens, markers and highlighters to choose from (amongst other things). I purchased a cute and colorful wooden desktop calendar which now adorns my workspace. Items are reasonably priced given some are imported from abroad. This place is definitely worth the trip - I do recommend!

This stationary shop is gonna take all my money. The walls are lined with adorable cards that I want to buy for all my friends and family and the pens and highlighter station have all my must haves. Some of my favorite brands they have there are Papier, Muji (which imo literally have the smoothest ink), and Mildliners. Their products are a little bit on the pricier side, given the quality of their products-for example my singular Muji pen cost $3.75 as opposed to a pack of pens for $3. But I'm a firm believer that my handwriting looks better in .5 gel ink so I'm willing to cough up the extra change. I also bought a blank planner and I find so much joy in filling it out throughout my busy week. Overall, I have been loving my products and had a great time looking around this cute shop. I'll be back ! :D

Just had a quick stop at The Paper + Craft Pantry in East Austin's Springdale General, and it's a total gem! Found the cutest stationery and Christmas ornaments. The store has a cozy vibe, and I'm already planning to go back for more fun finds. Bonus: plenty of parking in the complex! #HiddenGem #StationeryLove

I love this store! I love touching the paper! The quality is definitely felt through my fingertips. I came heard on small business Saturday and they had a little table to make friendship bracelets, appreciation for their customers and then I also bought two packages of mystery cards 10 cards for $10 which is a steal and when I got home and looked through them . They are absolute perfect!! if you spend a certain amount you were given a scratch off. The couple in front of me got 3 month's subscription box!' I got a coin to use in a machine and got a cute button. Everything is so cute. I love their notebooks and cards.

Paper & Craft Pantry is a gem. It honestly feels like the owner tapped into my brain and figured out what I wanted and stocked it all plus a whole lot more. Pens, paper, notebooks, and all kind of great things. Plus, once you buy your things, you can walk across the parking lot and get a croissant. It's so special and the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Go!

This stationary store has such a wide array of supplies. The staff really knows their stuff and made some great recommendations! This is my new go to shop for my teacher supplies.

The cutest pens and stationary from Japanese brands that I love but can't find many other places around Austin. The store isn't huge but it's very organized and I think it's a fun place to shop for gifts.

Amazing collection of cards, cute stationary, little art prints, and personable gifts.

One of the best paper stores I've ever been in. Amazing selection, knowledgeable staff. I'm a bitch when it comes to writing and left shining. If you're on the fence, go here right now, they'll get you right, on god. I didn't even know about the brush stabilos and they got that money selection. Also, the prices were extremely fair, why are you reading this and not shopping there.

This store is the absolute cutest store ever. I could literally be in there for hours. Probably don't recommend tho! lol the staff are so sweet and helpful. And If you are a sticker addict like I am, you will absolutely love their sticker selections. But fair warning, you might want to buy them all!

Was trying to get some candles as thank you gift when I came across the Mother's Day market at paper + craft pantry. I've always heard amazing things about this place but stepping inside was really a wonderland for Stationery lovers. There are huge varieties of cards, pens, candles and matchsticks, and other artsy stuff. The things are a little pricey but is definitely a step up from your hallmark cards. The staff were really nice and friendly too! They also packaged the things I bought really nicely. A lot of their things are locally sourced too which I love! Will definitely be back again

This is the perfect little stationery shop that will satisfy your need for all things paper, pens, notebooks, and more. They have many unique items!

The Paper + Craft Pantry is really such a cute spot! The card selection is HUGE, I found so many good ones to add to my collection at home. They also have a small selection of cute gift items, lots of pens/pencils, and some stationary. The space itself is bright and welcoming and they've got plenty of parking. I saw online that they offer workshops/classes, even a cake decorating class recently. My only teeny tiny complaint is their limited hours...I swung by one afternoon last week because I was in the area and they were closed....on a weekday afternoon, kind of strange but that's on me for not checking the hours first.

I can't say enough amazing things about this little shop and it's amazing owner, Pei!!!! They literally have a gift for anyone or any occasion. I sent thank you gifts to some very amazing friends and trusted them to assemble them and EVERYONE loved their surprise boxes. Pei and her team go above and beyond to make sure you and your gift recipients are taken care of. Pei, the owner, is literally the nicest person, both in her shop and outside of it. She has my business for life! I have some of her workshop kits and they literally helped me survive Covid while staying home and being safe. So. Damn. Fun. Such an amazing local business - can't wait to attend new workshops in her new space!!!

I visited The Paper + Craft Pantry for a Christmas cookie decorating class with Mindy from Mindy's Bake Shop. The class was fantastic and I would highly recommend it for a fun activity with friends! The Paper + Craft pantry has a wide variety of workshops- this is a great way to meet new people or flex your creative muscles! The shop has a bunch of cute cards, locally made candles, and other small gifts that would be perfect for friends or coworkers!

Pen and paper paradise! Stationery addicts, this place is for you! Pens, greeting cards, letter sets, very fancy notepads, stickers, even chocolate, crystals, tea and candles! The shop is very cute, well curated and well stocked. Great place to shop for a beautiful and unique greeting cards, and then pick up lovely gift items! Or just increase your massive pen collection if you're like me ; ) BONUS: there's a lovely tea shop next door! Stop by Zhi Tea and get a cuppa and some loose leaf teas to go! : )

If you want to impress someone with unique cards in Austin, this is the place to shop. They have locally curated art that just so happens to have a place where you can write a personalized greeting on it. There's nothing better than a thoughtful card. That's just the paper part of The Paper + Craft Pantry. They also offer a variety of classes that range in affordability. They teach them, they invite local artisans inside to teach, and they also occasionally get traveling artists, too! I'm a huge fan of this store, the lightness & brightness that surrounds the building and staff is infectious. Stop by if you're having a bad day, this place can cheer you up!

SHOP LOCAL! Pei is so sweet and awesome and her place is just as nice and awesome. Super cute stationary surrounded by super cute plants since Pei is such a great plant mom. Note, I am NOT friends with her, she's just so friendly and cute. Plus, she says everything she sales is buys directly from the artist! I love this place so much, its my little happy place.

I'm really surprised The Paper + Craft Pantry does not have many reviews on Yelp, let alone any pictures. I walked into this adorable stationery store to RSVP for one of their events (#penpalparty) and fell in love with their decor and their items. Their location is a little hidden, but you can't miss that vibrant mint green door! Parking is limited to the street. They carry cards, notebooks, trinket dishes, wrapping paper, notepads, signs, prints, and more! The items are from various artists and designers, so you are definitely supporting fresh, original work rather than cookie-cutter designs. Therefore, the prices are a little higher than say, a notebook from Wal-Mart or Target. I heard they also have weekly DIY workshops, so be sure to check those out! The staff is very friendly. Lucia was very kind and answered all of our questions. I would definitely considering going here if I ever needed to get a gift for someone or if I needed to satisfy a stationery need.

This place is great. Pei has wonderful taste and is constantly bringing wonderful stationery and craft goods to the shop. Since COVID, this place has adapted by also adding workshop kits. They are such high quality have made both for great experiences for me and original gifts for my friends.

If you've been to any large city recently (Toronto, New York, Chicago, to name a few), you've probably noticed the trend of modern "paper stores" that sell cards made in the US (although not always made in the store's namesake city), along with notebooks, stationary, and a random assortment of very simple, and usually paper-based, home decor items. While you might think the folksy heart of Texas would have a dearth of these stores, there are actually relatively few here, and so a tiny store like Paper + Craft Pantry actually stands out. Walking up to Paper + Craft Pantry, you might think the store was closed, if you don't look closely (the storefront has no windows and you can't see into the store until you open the door). Even if the place looks closed though, do open the door (as if it's raining it seems they don't leave any signage out front indicating the store is open, even though it is). The store is small, with lots of cards, a few hand selected notebooks and stationary items, and a wonderfully nice store associate. It's definitely sparse in there, but the items that are available are clearly hand selected with a great deal of care. There are a surprisingly large number of greeting cards that are actually from Texas, and what other items the store did have, did seem interesting if that's your thing. If you are in town for SXSW or another conference, and you find the tiny paper stores downtown don't cut it, it's like Paper + Craft Pantry may be more your speed. Just don't expect it to compare to the paper stores you might find in other large cities. It'll suffice, and it's worth the trek out to East Austin for sure (especially if you stick around for a nice drink or dinner), but it's also not going to be the most memorable place you ever visit.

Cool lil' stationary store offering lots of crafty workshops! I attended a block printing workshop which was great - all the materials provided, helpful instruction, and some wine and snacks. Curated stationary products for sale were unique and beautiful, on the pricey side.

This shop is very cute, I didn't realize I live so close to it (shout out to the eastside), I look forward to going to more workshops in the future. We went for a mini free workshop last weekend as part of the austin east tours. We think the full-length workshops will be the best way to go here, we got introduced to the world of lettering. That's the best way of phrasing it, "introduced", we realized it was a mini and free workshop though, so we can't wait to go to the full-length ones with hopefully more instruction. The place though, is very cute. You're greeted with the bright green doors, and inside they sell plenty of cute gift ideas and homemade cards. I'll definitely be stopping back in for some Christmas shopping!!

If you're looking for one-of-a-kind cards, card sets, notepads, candles, small gifts and awesome pens, this is THE place to go. The space is really cute and they frequently have fun events to go to (all on their website). The owner and everyone on staff are friendly and super helpful. P.S. If you're looking for a place that has a loyalty card/punch card - this is it! The best thing ever. Will always recommend friends to shop and support local. Keep it up!

Loved the workshop! I went here recently with my coworkers and boss for a team building event and it was a great experience. The store itself is very cute with lots of handcrafted items to purchase and the employee was very nice. We took the intro to watercolor class and it was very informative. I got to take home a paint brush and color palette too, so I can practice what I learned at home which I really liked as well. The owner was extremely welcoming and understanding when we had questions, and if you're looking to maybe make a new few friends I would recommend doing these classes. All the other women there were very nice and eager to talk. I will for sure be back in the future!

I've had a long-standing love for this shop and the owner. I've attended several workshops/events, purchase all my stationary from here, attend the book club when I can, and it's my go to spot to take out of town girlfriends. The space is perfection with the just the right amount of light and warmth. Every time I stop by there is always a new selection coupled with my favorites. You know you've created something special when your customers come back again and again. This shop is at the top of my list as one of the best things Austin has to offer.

I took a calligraphy workshop here and was very pleased with the whole experience. The store is a lovely space, with well-presented merchandise. About half of the store was set up for the workshop and the other half is dedicated to retail merchandise. The shop stocks a lot of notecards, notebooks, planners, and other paper and stationery do-dads. Many items are from local artists. There was plenty of parking available. I would definitely take a workshop here again!

This is my go-to store for paper goods. They have the best and most unique selection + they offer workshops that are really fun. I attended a marketing workshop there recently and not only did I get to meet some new, interesting women, I also felt like it was a great value! The mural outside and the mint door are both adorable and when you walk inside there are great cards & gifts + greenery everywhere, which I'm a total sucker for. The decor is spot on. I'll definitely be back. It's the only place I buy stationery in Austin!

I love Paper Craft Pantry! I am always so impressed how passionate this shop is about supporting other local businesses and artists. The owner and staff are so kind and helpful. I always really enjoy shopping here and attending their special events! Really cute stationary, paper goods, and fun workshops! A special shop that you should check out!

I came here while on vacation in Austin with the intention of perusing and maybe purchasing some small gifts. I wanted to buy everything in the store. There were so many unique items, many from local artists and many handmade. I found my new favorite thing: these delicate and carefully crafted little felt flowers! Now I don't have to worry about my cats eating real plants and I can enjoy my favorite flowers forever. I found some very nice cards and pens as well. I wish there were one of these shops at home. The shop owner (?) who was at a craft table, gave me several awesome recommendations for things to do and sights to see around the area. She was genuine, friendly, and helpful. I love it!

The owner, Pei, is so sweet and I love shopping here for cards, particularly around holidays!

I attended a shibori indigo dye class with Miranda Anderson and couldn't have been happier with my first visit there! The owner was welcoming and friendly as well. I love all of the attention to detail here without feeling stuffy. Prices are reasonable for unique cards and paper goods. I will be back!

You would second guess coming here if you interacted with Pei outside of her shop. I agree with the other posts; does not respond to messages, rude, and not genuine. On the other hand, very kind and peppy if she knows $ is in her favor.

Found this place by word of mouth! The space is open, well lit with natural light, the stationary collection is fun and lovely! Run don't walk.... This is an East Austin gem!

The best, cutest, most unique stationery store! I wanted to buy everything in it. I went here to buy some Christmas gifts and kind of want to keep it all for myself Adorable cards, planners, notebooks, calendars, pens, etc. that I haven't seen anywhere else. Such a happy little store!

Love this store! Every time I visit Austin, I have to go here. It's the cutest and most creative store- super inspiring and thoughtfully curated! I've gotten the most yummy candles here, and I love their card and print selection too. I just wish I lived closer so I could go to more workshops and events!

This shop is not only adorable, but the classes are amazing! It is also female-run and the owner is super sweet and helpful. I honestly can't believe anyone could post anything negative about this magical shop offering craft classes and workshops. I wish every city in the US had this store so artists (even bad ones like me!) could have such a unique opportunity to try new things! If you haven't been here yet, the second you walk in you'll see why so many call it their "happy place"!

Adorable East Austin shop packed with cute stationery and gifts! If you're a work-from-home creative type, I highly recommend going to their open coworking on Fridays noon-5pm (it's by donation). It's a fantastic way to support a local business, finish up the work week in a relaxed environment and meet other people doing cool creative projects.

Whenever I visit Austin I stop into this shop to get a little something to take home with me. They have a really inspired selection cards and little gifts. They also have a ton of really cool workshops and I'm gonna make it to one of them someday!

Surprised I'm just now finding out about this lovely little shop. Beautiful interior and very helpful staff. So excited to have found a new card shop!

The shop is great, that I would give 4 stars. So many cute cards, home art prints and stationary &a office accessories. Love that a lot of stuff is local as well. In regards to the workshops I didn't think it was worth the money. I recently took the photography class and learned a few tricks from the teachers personal experience, otherwise not many takeaways. Hate to say this but I watched a you tube video that taught me more than the 95 dollar class, only difference was I got a donut and a coffee. I will say it was great for socializing and meeting other fun creative women. But sadly In my opinion the personal return on investment was not there, and I've been looking to sign up for other classes but have noticed while prices remain high, they are no longer allowing you to keep tools you use in the class i.e. The petite scissors and what not, so there is even less value. Take the upcoming floral crown class for example, I cannot justify paying 55 dollars to give me a 10 dollar bouquet of flowers, floral wire etc and teach me how to weave them together when not much expertise is needed. I might have considered if they included at least one stationary item and although I love to support local SMEs, and social events , that's a hard pass for me. I think there is potential, it's such a cute place and I love the concept but retention strategy is key! I hope to see more value in future offerings

A great place to bring your friends! Owner was very helpful and passionate about her stuff!

I visited this shop last time i was in Austin . A friends recommended it and it and i was so happy that i took the time to find it and check it out. It has the best selection of unique gifts and cards. I picked up a couple for some friends birthdays and the holidays! They were also setting up for a fun workshop that looked super fun!
