Very good selection and friendly staff. I appreciate that they support local artists. There aren’t many good art supply shops left, and this one is definitely worth returning to.

I love this Little art supply shop near where I live. They have a lot of Japanese brands pen, oil pastel crayon and more. It so nice to be able to see art supplies that I use before I come the States.

All three of the staff members I have interacted with during multiple visits have been knowledgeable and engaging, but also let customers wander and explore. I always find what I need and lots more that I want!

Very friendly and helpful staff. Decent inventory. I was there specifically for watercolor paintbrushes. Their supply was a bit picked over, but I was able to find a few I needed.
