Butler Stationery

A hidden gem in Columbia with a broad selection of pens, inks, and paper. Jonathan is knowledgeable, kind, and will take time to show inks and pens. Whether your just starting or looking for a higher-end pen, there’s something here for you.

I could kick myself for not writing a review sooner. All stationery lovers in the area should know about this place. If you don't, head on over for a great time. The owner has a wide selection of fountain pens, inks, and fountain pen-friendly papers/notebooks. The best part is he lets you test them out. I'm serious! Right there, in the store, you can try before you buy. The world of stationery is just one of those things that's much better in person. This is a store that let's you experience that....and you can bring it home for an affordable price. I truly love this delightful corner of stationery heaven!

Extremely cute (and newer) store! The owner was very nice. He had Tomoe River, Rhodia, Clairfontaine and some other types of paper, Colorverse, Diamine and Iroshizuku inks and a few varieties of pens. We had a good time talking pens, but my dad was dozing off (SO SMART of the owner to provide a comfy chair!) so I had to go. Hopefully I’ll be able to come back and visit!

Lovely little shop! The owner is very educated on stationery and can definitely answer any questions you may have. I was given a brief explanation of fountain pens and found a perfect pen and ink to begin exploring this world. A must if you find yourself in the CAB.

Decent selection of enthusiast grade fountain pens, inks, and paper especially for a small shop. The owner is also a top notch dude who knows what he's selling. He's also very willing to let you "Try Before You Buy" which you can't with online stationary shops

Wow! Great place to see all sorts of pens, calligraphy supplies, and help with your $ pens! The man who owns this is knowledgeable and extremely helpful!

First of all, the Columbia Arts Building has a neat vibe and is an "off the beaten path" gem. There's a coffee shop (Wolf and Scout) and a sandwich shop (Ollie and Finn's). This pen shop has a good selection of fountain pens, inks, and papers. Definitely one of the coolest things for Columbia to have--a pen shop. Check this place out, and try a fountain pen. Once you write with one, you really don't want to go back to a boring ball point.

This place is absolutely fantastic. If you want professional and professionals, they at it. Cool vibe and great business.

Jonathan Is incredibly knowledgeable and patient. He helped me find exactly what I needed and he offers a great selection of both pens and stationary. I plan to be back soon!

Great store with a good selection for what you need in your stationery life. Owner was helpful and super friendly. I will be visiting on a regular basis.

Great selection, experienced owner with amazing customer service! Looking for a special and unique gift for a man in your life? This is the place!

I brought in some family treasures that were neglected for years and they got them the correct refills and now on the the next generation. Thanks
