“Big-box office supply and art stores didn't have an ink refill for my Japanese pen, but Payn's Stationery did. The clerk was vey knowledgable about Payn's stock; she knew immediately the type of refill needed and where it was located on the rack. This store is delightful.”
“Had a great experience purchasing an ergo chair here. David was super helpful in explaining the differences among some of the Steelcase models, as well as the different features of my new chair. Took home a preowned Amia for a great price. He even loaded the chair into my car. Thanks David!”
“Nice store with plenty of stationary, all you could wish for. High quality items for a good price. The (vintage) postcards are lovely too. Friendly staff. Will definitely return!”

“Stopped by today for a few snack items. I got a banana and a yogurt drink for 3.99. The banana was fresh and the yogurt drink was good as well. The have a little section where they sell sandwiches and tamales. They have a wide variety of drinks and food items (both refrigerated, frozen, and dry). They also sell school supplies. I wish I had more time to look around but I will definitely visit again. Employees were kind and they take EBT!”

1823 University Ave, Berkeley“A wonderful store with an excellent selection of restored typewriters for sale. I really liked the variety of their collection. I went in thinking I would want a large Underwood, but fell in love with this portable Royal instead. Being able to type on them helped me immensely in finding the typewriter of my dreams. I will certainly be back!”
