75 Middlesex Turnpike Space 2064, Burlington“The employee in charge of the Pick a Brick wall is a Lego fanatic after my own heart. Any great new piece that becomes available for US PaB walls can probably be found in this store. The selection on the wall is amazing and they have a load of other parts in storage waiting to go on the wall. The other employees are equally amazing and helpful. This store is dangerous for one's wallet.
[I wrote this before the pandemic, I've been back once in late 2022 and the pick-a-brick wall was packed, plus a dozen boxes next to, plus a few more cups, plus more in the back. They have a helpful menu, too.]”
“Went in today Dec 30 2023. The girls working there were phenomenal. They assisted me in finding the perfect gift for a friend, a very nice chess set. I will be back for sure”
“Excellent customer service, wonder and friendly staff in the play area. Very clean, nice assortment of activities in the play area. Great selection of toys and gadgets.”
“This is a genuine local toy store. The owners are very friendly and helpful. They always have this year's hot toy, plus many traditional favorites. Easy parking at the Y next door.”
“This is the cutest most whimsical little cafe I've ever been to. The styling is cozy and nostalgic of an early 2000's cafe like you'd find at Borders (the book store, when they were open). I got a hot chocolate, one of my friends got tea, and the others got coffee, and they were all out of this world. It's absolutely worth stopping here on a sunday morning with a book or a friend to play chess with when the world is waking up outside.”
“This shop is a gem in Roslindale! When possible, I tend to do most of my shopping locally. Spending money in there community ensures that is stays in the community.As the seasons change, so do the available items here. In the spring, I buy some seeds for the garden. The summer months have products more associated with that. As we head into autumn and winter, the focus shifts toward the holiday season. I always buy some Christmas gifts here for various family and friends.The store is always busy during Small Business Saturday and the holiday markets.They stock a variety of items such as cards, jewelry, home decor, clothing, and lots of localy-themed items such as coasters, towels, and glassware.Everyone who works there is extremely helpful and takes the time to talk with me. This is something that you generally don't get in a large chain store.In conclusion, this is a great store and comes highly recommended by me!”

“the staff in here are literally the most kindest, sweetest and caring folks. they’re super helpful with anything you need. they pay close attention to your shopping and will let you know certain deals or new things they have. did you know they have a teddy drs office in there? not literally but if your stuffed animal comes apart or needs surgery they got you covered. i believe it’s for the cost of whatever you’re replacing ie a beating heart. you’ll have to pay for the heart. it’s such a pleasant experience here and it makes me want to spend more money because the service is just A1. down to earth chill environment and it’s extra exciting for your little ones. thank you for choosing the staff well. i hope they’re being compensated enough to be comfortable in life.”

“This Paper Store has recently relocated to inside the Burlington Mall.Located right next to Fogo de Chao, this new space is much bigger now which means there's more product to shop! The design of this new location is also clean and very modern feeling. Same as at other locations, you can find jewelry, apparel, toys, greeting cards, and more. I also saw that they offer ear piercing which I've never seen inside of a Paper Store before. Glad they moved to the mall because parking is a LOT easier now.”
“One is the better paper stores in the area. Very nice staff and always well stocked and clean. Staff has gone above and beyond numerous times for me. The shopping plaza is very nice and has a lot of good stores.”
“It's a great store and nice selection of products but a little pricy. I wait for the coupons to make my purchase and always visit their little mark area in the store as well.”
