The place is great with cards, postcards, gifts, etc. one of the best stationary stores I’ve been to in the bay. The only downside is the store’s hours. 11am-4pm isn’t the best choice.2pm to after would be great. I would shop here much more often, but can’t find the time to go during current opening hours.

A lot more than just cards - cool posters and other visual pieces. When shopping the Santa Cruz Pacific Avenue shops make sure you stop here.

Fun place to find local art, cards, games and puzzles, coloring books, and stickers. If youre looking for something local and unique, I highly recommend checking here. Their cards by local artists are really amazing.

Horrendous! I attempted to buy something that was $3 and I was told there was a $5 minimum card purchase because of transactional fees. I told the clerk that I completely understand and I’m happy to pay whatever the transactional fee is since I don’t carry cash during Covid. He flat out said, “no, not worth it.” and then walked away. It was quite humiliating to just be left standing there like that. I won’t be going back, ever. His behavior was gross, rude and completely lacking in reason.

Wonderful store - I come here at least a couple times a month. I almost exclusively buy my cards from here. They have lots of unique ones, including ones from local artists, as well as more mainstream brands like Papyrus.

Paper Vision is the place to go for all of your greeting cards and stationary needs. I usually buy all my wedding anniversary and birthday cards here. They have a lot of unique and high quality card brands like Papyrus. They also stock some really cool novelty toys and posters. Great location as it’s downtown and you can grab a cup of coffee, grab a bite to eat or stroll Pacific Ave afterwards.

Super cute store, very rude staffUsed to like this store with a good collection. Went with kiddo last Saturday to get some gift. The staff didnt even care to look at us when paying, and looked firmly away with her stone face when returning credit card slip to sign, not a word uttered, totally ruined the experience. I always teach my kid manners, the staff here doesnt seem to know what manners are. Shop owners should select their staff more carefully. I like to support local business, but next will just go straight to Amazon.

I enjoy coming to this store. yes, this is a stationary store with a nice selection of cards, posters, books, notebooks, and calendars.But in addition, they have a collection of eclectic stuff. If you need basic school or office supplies, Palace is just down the block. But if you are looking for something offbeat, whimsical or fun, this is the store you want to visit.

This store has probably the best selection of cards in town, You can find one for any occasion. They also has fun, silly gag gifts. NOTE: The picture that google features as showing the inside of the store isnt actually the inside of paper vision. They are showing the inside of Palace Arts. Oops! Maybe someone wants to fix that...? Just a suggestion.

Nice items but super rude and non-sensical staff. They have a big door to the side of the shop wide open, I went through with my toddler looking for a restroom and 2 staff came Scolding us saying its a private property and we cannot go in. However there is absolutely no sign saying such and in fact theres a big Exit sign on top of the door.The staff started to insult our common sense and saying how we are not proper adults because we cannot somehow guess they left a door open but dont want anyone to go in.They continued to hound us as we exited the store. It was a shockingly rude experience especially for Santa Cruz.

My best friend came into today to find a present for her stepdads birthday that was living out of town. The first person she talked to was extremely rude to her when she showed her a picture of what she was looking for and asked if they had it and if they had it in stock and if they would mount it for her. The woman replied with a no and snapped at her saying that they didnt mount things anymore. My friend then decided to just walk around the store to see if there was anything that she could send to her mom and get her opinion on it. As she walked around her did, indeed, find things that her step dad would like so she took pictures of them for her mom as they lived out of state (she didnt see the signs saying not to take pictures as the signs were above the posters out of her line of vision). She ended up only taking 2 pictures before another employee (another woman) walked over to her and rudely said no pictures were allowed. When my friend explained why she was taking the pictures both the woman rolled their eyes at her and said she should have asked permission to do so. (this whole time she was on the phone with her mom) at that moment her mom told her to go outside since she had started crying. As she cried outside her mom told her was going to hang up and call the store and told them that her family has gone to the store for their whole lives living in Santa Cruz. The woman, who answered the phone, then rudely said, okay bye and hung up on my friends mom. If I could give this place zero stars I would, this is not how to treat a customer no matter who they were.

OK store with a bunch of stationary, gift shop-py gifts and a nice selection of posters. The review with a photo of an art store is getting this place confused with the store down the street.
