Take Note Pens & Stationery Store is a tiny, cozy, and intimate little hole-in-the-wall store in the Junction area of Toronto. It is a favourite stationery store for many, especially geeks for pens and stationery. The store offers a great selection of pens, inks, and fun stationery. While not huge, the selection includes what customers need and is reliably in stock, from fountain pens like the Sailor HighAce Neo and Lamy to Iroshizuku ink bottles. A standout feature is the ability to test pens, with helpful setups like inked Lamy Vistas of various nib sizes available to try on fountain pen paper. The staff and owner are incredibly friendly, helpful, and kind, providing amazing customer service and a great customer experience. They are very welcoming and patient, offering their time to answer questions. This lovely store with its even lovelier staff makes it a place customers definitely plan to visit again and again.
Just came out and got help by Jolanta. She was great in replacing my Kaweco nib for me. I’m so grateful for her and explaining everything throughly as well.

They were great. Showed me everything I asked for. The woman who helped me would rather sell you the right pen for your hands, than the more expensive one I was looking at, and I appreciate that a lot. Thank you :) Super happy with my Pilot and my Platinum. I'll go back in for a converter and some ink soon.

Excellent shopping experience. The three staff members there today were attentive, pulling out any pens we wanted to try and answering any questions we had. We can't wait to visit again.
