Seaside Papery

Gosh, talk about a super cute store. Lots of paper goods and other things that are related to paper.
They also have kate spade items which is nice. I think those are for bride to bes though.
I didn’t buy anything but it’s worth checking out if you love these types of stores, super cute with paper goods that inspire you to buy something to write your thoughts. Or maybe some candles to set the mood for your daily journal time.

I love paper stores and couldn’t pass this place without stopping in on our recent trip to coronado island. It’s a cute store with very cute cards and other paper goods, i bought a few things for my daughter’s pineapple themed birthday. The customer service didn’t seem all that great, no one greeted me or asked if they could help me look for anything. When i went to pay there were two ladies at the register, no hi or so much a smile and while I was being rung up they continuously greeted other incoming patrons. Good selection of paper goods, customer service was meh.

We worked with Shelby for our wedding stationary, and she was fantastic. She spent so much time helping us go through our options and find stationary that were just right, both aesthetically and price. She was quick to correspond and always so friendly. Highly recommend.

One of the best stores on Orange Ave. they have cards for every occasion! And the butterflies are amazing. Also the prints are great for any room in the house. Definitely a place to go if you’re in Coronado

Wow! I was in the store for about 20 minutes and there were 3 «ladies» working. Not one said hello to me or offered to help. The girl who rang me up was even reluctant to say hello to me… kind of felt like I stepped onto the 1950’s. They were talking and greeting all the other customers. Could it be because I’m Asian?!? I gave it 2 stars because it was a great store but I will NEVER be back.

I worked with Shelby on all of our wedding stationary — save the dates and invites and she is wonderful! She really knows her stuff and will work with you on whatever design you could want or need. Highly recommend!

This has to be one of my most favorite shops in the country! They have a lovely selection of paper goods, gifts, vintage items and so much more! Their team has helped with countless invitations over the past six years and is now assisting us with our new business in Point Loma. Seaside Papery is a one-​stop shop for all of your party, design, and gift needs!

Love this place! Quick stop for gift items and I usually end up buying something for me while i’m there. I love all their greeting cards! Great unique selection. Might be a little pricey for some, but I like to support our local business owners any way. It’s worth it!

Coffee was calling, but I saw the beautiful window display of butterflies, walked in and fell in love with this store. I loved stationery as a child and nostalgia just passed over me as I perused the beautiful cards, notepads, and journals that were there for the buying. Though I don’t write as many letters on nice stationery as I used to, I do still send out paper birthday cards and Christmas cards, not the photo cards or newsletters that most people send now. It was great to see all the wonderful boxed cards they have for Christmas and the funny and sweet cards they had for birthdays and special occasions. They also had Halloween related items like mugs, books, candles and etc, that would make a nice addition to your home décor or office cubicle. I spied a couple of framed prints of California, and thought it’d be perfect for the bathroom. With the help of my husband, we picked the more interesting of the two. I also ended up buying a Kate Spade pencil case that I’ve never seen before. It’s about the size of an iPad mini and can function more than a pencil case. I can put my phone in there with a few other things.
If you’re old fashioned like me and still prefer to send out paper invitations for parties, then this place is a great source. They have all kinds of invitations you can customize for your own needs. I love receiving paper invitations in the mail. They are just so much more exciting than the electronic ones.
The two ladies who were working were great. They were very friendly and wrapped both purchases very nicely. One of them noticed my Nike Women’s Half Marathon Tiffany necklace and we chatted about it for a little bit. If it hadn’t been for the urgent need for coffee, I would have stayed longer in this store. There were so much cute stuff to talk yourself into buying!

My client and I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with Shelby. The Bride was completely new to all things paper and the craft of wedding invitations.
Shelby was amazing– explaining printing types and processes, paper types and weights, and more importantly patiently working with the Bride in order to bring forth the perfect design and customized touches. Even better, we received a quote the very next day.
It was a great experience through and through. I will definitely be adding them to my prefered list. Thank you Shelby!

We worked with Shelby to create our wedding stationary. My fiancé and I know paper, have a love for typography and we’re pretty specific about what we wanted. Although we live in Orange County, this is where we wanted our invitations done. Shelby is fun, patient and knowledgeable. We’ve been very pleased with the entire process. They now have a cute second location in The Headquarters.

Cute and unique paper goods not found at your local Office Depot. You will pay for these hard to find items. A luggage tag with three mariachi men for seven dollars? I’ll take it. Stickers that let everyone know these books are yours for seven dollars? Mine! Lemonade scented lip balm for six fifty? My son will love it more than his Chapstick, bag it. I had to get two books for my kids. Courtesy gift wrap. Grand total= just under sixty dollars. Yikes, but I am on vacation. My kids are relatively good and the shop is the prettiest one on the island.

I absolutely LOVE this store.
It’s not like any other paper store I’ve ever been to, only because of how warm and cozy it is. The products they carry are unique and high end. The entire store is clean, organized, and well thought out.
Worth the long drive! I’d love to work here!

What a beautiful, amazing, dreamy store!!! I was visiting San Diego for only two days and visited this store on the first day and made a point to return there the second day!!! I had amazing service on both days, with the girls asking me if I needed help both times. Beautiful gift wrapping job on my packages! Please move your store to Utah ;) Also, if the owner is reading this, please tell your employee (an adorable girl with short curly dark hair) that she was so kind and helpful and did a beautiful job with the gift wrapping of my children’s gifts of the little king mouse and queen mouse in their towers! Thanks for everything!

My favorite paper store. Like ever. They always have a plethora of paper goods for every event you can imagine. I used to live in Alpine and would drive all the way out to Coronado for cards (that’s how awesome this place is). Now we live in the city and are only 15 minutes away, so my visits have become more frequent (woohoo!). I bring all of my out-​of-​town guests into the shop, and they love it too! Only complaint is the ladies there aren’t super friendly or helpful, but I know they are generally busy. *Ahem, I’ll gladly work here!* They carry goodies from Rifle Paper Co. and Mr. Boddington’s Studio, both lovely design companies! Many others as well. Seaside Papery is my happy place.

Ordered my wedding invitations through Jori and Seaside Papery! She couldn’t have been more helpful and friendly! She has a huge invitation selection, and all of the them are customizable.

I called Seaside Papery two days ago to ask what time they closed since their hours are not listed on Unilocal.Shelby told me they closed at six. I got there a little before six and they were closed. Understandable. I get off work at five. I went there again yesterday, I got there around 5:20.and yes it was closed. The lady at the counter did not acknowledge me. I was really looking forward to buying something cute, but I guess I won’t get a chance. I walked next store and bought a few things, both nights.
If she planned on closing early, why didn’t she just tell me that? And please do not give me the whole ‘small business stuff’. I work and grew up in a small business. I know how it is. Be polite. The girl next store was closing her store last night, but opened it back up so we could shop.
From what I saw from the windows everything looked really really cute. I am bummed.

This place has absolutely beautiful things. The reason for the lower star review is that a fair share of items for sale are straight from Paper Source — and at a nice markup from their retail prices.
But, this is a tourist spot so many folks may not have a PS near them, nor know they are getting ripped off.
Moderately friendly staff. Definitely a great addition to Orange St. and the quirky shops on the island. The front display (and my pic) are of these beautiful butterfly garlands. I’m not sure where I would ever put one, maybe a girl’s room? But definitely worth a look just for those.
UPDATE! According to the owner comments on my review I was WRONG WRONG WRONG about my Paper Source products comment. Plus one star for my being WRONG and for the owner’s to take a not entirely positive review and reply intelligently!

Where do I start? This is an amazing little store. I am getting married in November. I didn’t want to do anything crazy on invites, so I thought I’d just do it on-​line. I went to Seaside and had a wonderful unrushed visit with Shelby. She was fantastic After a lot of talking and looking at invite books I ended up using Seaside for all of invites and custom menus. While I paid a bit more for what I was getting, well you know what they say «you get what you pay for» couldn’t be more true. Not only is the customer service wonderful, but the product is wonderful too. I am so glad that I ended up using Seaside. Regardless of the area you live in you will not regret going over the bridge to visit this amazing little store. Ask for Shelby she is beyond good at what she does. You will be in good hands with this store.

Super cute stationary shop on Coronado Island!!!
We stopped by this store when strolling around Coronado and were amazed with their stationary displays. We also had a chance to go through all of their wedding stationary albums — quite a meeting it has turned out to be! The girl at the counter was super nice!
It’s too bad they’re pretty pricey… also the lady who was supposed to give us a call never called us. I guess they were busy…
