5308 Laurel Canyon Blvd, Valley Village“First time visiting the store and got some great deals! Very nice and friendly staff. They also had a great clearance area where I managed to find some Schmincke soft pastels for $1 a stick, just WOW! Nice Velour papers and plenty of pastel pencils to choose from. I was also very happy that nice girl waiting on me packaged up all my loose pencils and pastels very nicely in small boxes. My new go to art store... Susan Kashimiri suekashart@instagram”
“This is the place I go to get paint when quality matters. True writer's supplies from tips to stupid variety of spray can brands. Most chill biz owner I have ever met. You won't find this at Home Depot or Anawalt hardware and prices are good for top quality - support your local small shops!”
“My most favorite art supply store in Hollywood, CA. Great selections and many suppliers from all over the world. Their service is also so great and they let me try some pens and markers. I bought their arches paper 30” x 22” and made art of my drawing and with posca and golden high flow that I tried at the store before I bought. The art turned out really good and liked working on the paper and pens. Thank you Blue Rooster!”

9503 Jefferson Blvd unit C, Culver City“I'm here early this morning for GraphAid annual sale. 40% on all regular price items. Also, I'm one of the first 50 customers. I get a goodie bag. Great selection of art supplies for the west side of LA. Supporting the small independent art store. DJ's rating: 4.65/5.00Would I come back? Definitely Yes.”
“Quaint, yet beautiful hidden gem of a paper store in Culver! Great quality products and a large selection of handmade and machine-made papers from various countries for a price that is truly reflective of the quality of their goods. Will definitely be back to shop more!”
“I was desperately trying to find somebody to re-cane a beautiful mid century chair that my cats had torn to shreds. I searched high and low, and couldn't find anyone to fix it, until a vintage shop in Atwater recommended this place. I am so excited and happy that they did. I brought my chair in and they gave me a very reasonable estimate. The owner and the people that work there are very friendly, but more importantly, they do amazing work. My chair looks absolutely stunning! It looks exactly like it looked before my cats got to it. This place is amazing!”
“Top's is a small art supply business. They have a LOT of good stuff, and some things are a lil pricier but it makes sense because it's not a big company or anything! If you're tryna save money try going during their back to school saleThe employees know a lot about art, and are very helpful! Even if it's a bit pricier I come often because of the service and knowing that I'm supporting a business that truly appreciates art :')”
“Even with the new law forbidding retail of flavoured vapes, this is one of THE finest smoke shops. Unfortunately, they had to get rid of all of their flavored material (& I will never forget this place for having every Flum flavour imaginable... the good old days, at this point). However! They have a thousand other products even outside of smoking culture & habits, like supplement blends, CBD gummies at different concentrations, a middle compartment (a glass case) of pocket knives (some are like, really cute), body jewelry including nose hoops/studs & hoop earrings, sodas, INCENSE in great quantity, and more! I even saw, behind the counter next to the cigarettes, some product called "stop opioid abuse." It might be some type of product to help wean patients off the use of opiates, which is huge. The employees here are always so amicable & chill. I've never waited in a line longer than one person, & the employees are so welcoming that you just naturally get into conversation with them. Still one of my favourite smoke places ever! So neat, clean, & organized! Thank you!”

703 S Carondelet St, Los Angeles“Parking: 6/10. Limited street parking around the block. We were lucky to find a spot right in front of their store! Items: 10/10. As a stationary lover, we spontaneously decided to go here after eating around the area. I loved seeing an assortment of fine art textured paper sourced from various parts of the world. Wonderful selections for scrapbooking, journaling, paper invitations, and anything else you can think of. Gary was a chill guy who told me interesting details about the papers I selected. Affordable pricing for quality paper. Atmosphere: small shop yet packed with all sorts of paper varieties. Hours are limited which can be inconvenient for some folks.”

“They have a great selection of paints and materials. The staff are very knowledgeable and genuinely want to help you find the right thing for your project. It's pretty hidden away but well worth a visit!”
“Dan is the Man. Knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to all my urethane, silicone and casting needs. As an F/X artist, I've depended on Silpak products and Dan's expertise for decades now. Everything I need under one roof.”
“Our sister Division (IWS) Imagination Workshop Studio purchases supplies here. It's one place out of two handfuls of Art Department and Special Effects suppliers IWS purchases from and although IWS doesn't get to visit in person for picking up Make-Up and Special Effects Supplies often IWS thinks they are the best in the business because it's been a family business for well over 30 years in motion pictures and television. Among the various supplies IWS stocks up on is mask latex, Silicone, Epoxy Resin, Gelatin, Clay, Bandages, Ultracal or Gypsum Stone, Lab Tools, brushes, straps, and more equipment and supplies.”

1453 14th St, Santa Monica“Highly recommend! Ally is incredibly kind and talented. I was passing through town right after my Grama’s birthday and only had one day with her. Thank you so much for making it a memorable one! Ally is a patient and engaging teacher. We felt at home in her studio, where she provided easy to follow guidance, artistic insight, and conversation. She was also very flexible and accommodating of my Grama, which was much appreciated.”
“Fantastic art store.They have materials for all sorts of arts and crafts. Pens, markers, paints, brushes, plates, papers, canvasses, metal thread (for jewelry making), beads, alcohol inks, press printing, etc... also easels.They have a small book section for ideas and inspiration.They have crafts for kids, as well as real artist level materials.They have adorable gifts, stickers, games, and fidget toys. So it's also a good shop when looking for presents for some people.You can sign up there for a free store account for a discount, but you need to give them a phone number and email.”
“The staff is super friendly and helpful. I had no issues finding the large newsprint paper or drawing pads. Everything I needed was in stock. They also offer student discounts so you really get your money's worth. The parking on the side is a bit tight but there's more parking behind the building.”

“Every visit is a pleasant experience where the staff are always peppy and happy to help and share their wisdom. The store is very well-stocked and I've always gotten all my needs/wants at reasonable prices.”
“I like it but the prices are mostly all the time over a dollar and then I think like "what's the point" you know? But I like how there are Takis at the front of the store once you enter it.”
“Came in to set up a 2nd board to use at the park that was smaller than my original cruiser. The guy at the shop was very helpful and found me the best bang for the buck in my price range. Very friendly and helpful. I'll be back.”

“Great selection of beads. Fun little clearance sections with great prices. Would definitely recommend this store. Really good pricing and wide selection of findings and threads as well. I will definitely be going back!”
“I won’t ever get enough of this store. They have little goodies, decorations, a variety of crafts, and convenient items to have in the house. Especially during the holidays, hobby lobby brings back the nostalgia and joy I used to feel in my childhood.
I just recently bought an empty recipe book from here that I can’t wait to show my mother.”

17230 Ventura Blvd, Encino“One of my all time favorite places...they have everything!
The have classes and ideas for the most amazing gifts and decorations. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I love this place and I must admit...sometimes I think of it as "my toy store".”
“Today I had the pleasure of being helped by Rain. She was incredibly sweet, had a lot of knowledge on the products, and was very helpful. Her customer service made my experience that much better!”
“One of the best Paper Source locations. Very spacious, large selection of stationery, and helpful staff. I enjoyed their paper bar where I got to see and touch different envelopes and cards.
This store is an excellent location to find a unique gift for everyone in your family. Also, I loved the store layout and the way they created little theme “islands” of mindfulness, Halloween, and Fall. Where you can choose a trinket, home decor, or a journal based on of the themes.”
