Office supplies

I always enjoyed back-to-school shopping. I don't know why, but I've always loved stationary and office supplies. New binders, notebooks, pens and pencils. I wanted to collect every item from the Sanrio store as a child. Now as an adult I can still feed my addict-I mean, buy office supplies for work.

Dammit, why didn't this place exist when I was in college? My younger brother recently moved into an apartment while attending school, and I scouted this place out because I strongly suspected he could get a lot of stuff here without paying an arm…More »

Lots of cute stationary--pens, notebooks, journals, papers, etc. in a little store tucked away in Berkeley. It's a little cramped, but it's chock full of stuff. I have not had rude service here, but the items are a little more expensive. Some if it…More »

I've never suffered from rude service here. I like to indulge my office supply habit (even if I just look) every once in a while by coming here. Every time I've come I've been asked if I needed any help and the same employee usually asks if I need…More »

Like everything else around here, it feels much smaller. I've come here a couple of times to escape the crowd/heat/some relaxation time. The selection feels a little less varied, but there are many chairs to lounge in. I imagine during non-baseball…More »

Well, they are closing. I've been in and out, browsing and waiting for prices to drop further and further. Today I finally made a couple of purchases and I have to say, although it's a pity independent bookstores cannot seem to survive and it's…More »

I must agree with Robby T. below about snarky and snippy employees. In my quest to find a San… Read more »

Comprable to the other Borders locations, although it has the weirdest layout ever. The first floor is tiny and really packed. The second floor has the majority of the books as well as the cafe and magazines, while the top floor has kids books and…More »

I come here every once in a while to see what they have and to handle notebooks in person.

It amazes me that this place doesn't seem to teach the basics of customer service to their employees. I came in and noticed an employee was cleaning and…More »

Recently updated lists from AccioSoyMilk ..

Bubble/Milk tea in DC (5) Hey look, that rhymes! My quest to find actual, good bubble/milk tea here. I sense it might be a long search.	BART eateries (26) Say what? These are places to eat close to BART (not in BART!). Whether you're getting ready for that interview or looking for a quick bite after missing breakfast, here's a list. Unfortunately it'll be rather incomplete since I don't ride all the BART lines. These places are either visible from the BART station/entrance or you can see the BART station/entrance at these places.
Breakfast in the Bay (10) Various breakfast and brunch eateries for Mother's Day, weekends, bites before interviews.	Grub for the yuppie in the Financial District (83) Much to my sadness, I have traded in my sneakers and jeans for suits from Banana Republic (only place that has clothes that fit me, although that will probably change...). As I attempt to vaguely fit in with the Blackberry wielding, cellphone yakking types of San Francisco's FiDi here are some places for yuppies, interns, students and tourists to grab your food. List covers the Financial District, Union Square and SOMA. (Hey, you gotta have varierty)
UC Berkeley Extension eats (15) Taking a class through UCB's extension? Here are some places you can grab a bite to eat (as in, you only have an hour or less) before your class starts. This list comprises of eateries for both the San Francisco and Berkeley locations.	For the hungry Berkeley student (22) Although I didn't go to Berkeley, I had an internship in the vicinity of the school. Places for the student on a budget to feed themselves when sick of cafeteria food.
Westfield Shopping Eats (17) Need a bite between hitting the stores? A SF Extension student looking for dinner before class? A worker in the area trying to escape the cold? Here's a list of the mall eats (I don't care if they call it the Centre!)	Cheaper Eats in Union Square. (10) Exhausted after shopping? Want to take your tourist friends someplace that won't break the bank in this economy? Here are some suggstions.
Downtown Oakland (7) Food eateries for those working in downtown Oakland. Hopefully I will get the opportunity to add more.	City Hall Eats (21) Stalking Mayor Newsom? Want to eat something after browsing the library? Here are some places to eat around City Hall. This list will be updated as often as possible.
