My new favorite shop in the city! Wonderful selection of journals, planners, pens and all kinds of home goods I havent seen anywhere else. Incredibly friendly staff, cozy vibes and very organized. I cant wait to recommend this store to my friends!
Great little shop with a whole lot to look with super friendly and helpful employees!
Great shop, very friendly staff and tons of great finds by all kinds of makers and artists. A must-stop-by if youre wandering around Old City!
I absolutely adore this shop. I love stationary items and this shop has unique pens, pencils, envelops, etc. The quality of all the items is too tier! Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. I will definitely be visiting again!
I love that they carry authentic Japanese products, both cute and traditional. I don’t think there’s anywhere else in the city where you can buy Japanese fashion and design magazines and they’re hard to buy online, so this is a good place to go if you’re looking for that! I’ll be back the next time I need to buy a gift, everything seems high quality and is aesthetically pleasing!
Easily in the top-10 shops in Philly when you need to get someone any type of gift. I always look forward to going to this store: most merch is incomprehensibly cute, other items are extremely practical, and some are both useful and adorable. The staff always helps me wrap my purchases in a way that makes the gift-receiver squeal with delight.
I lived in Japan for 10 years and this place is my nostalgia fix. They have the cutest Japanese goods. I come here when I am in need of stationary and stickers. Love love love them. The staff is also super friendly.
Ooh, is this place cute! Theyve incorporated a minimalist Japanese aesthetic into the look of the shop and all the things they sell fit the feel. Lots of kitschy books, stationery, water bottles, baby gifts; think fun gifts for your millennial girlfriends. Nice staff.
Great staff, beautiful inventory..... Lovely shopping experience all the way around. Cant wait to go back and stock up on a pen I got. Knew I should have gotten at least 3. Love this store! ❤️
I’ve been coming here for awhile, and I’m obsessed with all the stationery and products. Helpful staff and a pleasant experience!
Love this place! Just an enjoyable space to be in as a stationery junkie (especially Japanese stationery) and the staff are usually friendly. Its a small space so they cant have all this stationery, but they do a great job curating an interesting and useful selection.
Oh my God! It was exactly what I was looking for. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I will recommend Imoi to all my friends. I am so happy to have found it.
Great little gift shop with many items from Japan. They added lovely colors of tissue paper to my purchased items and were so friendly. Highly recommend!
Good vibes, they have business card holders
I love it here. I always find cute gifts and stationary. The people have always been nice and welcoming
This was a cute little store. Staff was very friendly. Its worth a quick stop.
This store has a nice selection of thoughtfully crafted, ethnically inclusive, gifts for someone with both discerning taste and a good sense of humor. I love it here.
I love everything about this shop! The staff and owner are super friendly. Their inventory is unique and fun. As an artist/designer, its my go-to place for gifts. The second location is a bonus (though its a bit far for me, its worth the peddle).
Great selection of locally-made greeting cards. Always so pleasant to stop in and see whats new!
I could spend a whole paycheck at this place whenever I visit. I love everything about it including the staff who are always kind and helpful.
This is the cutest little gift shop. There are a ton of high quality art materials and pens/pencils, cute knick knacks, stationary, gifts, cards, fragrances, etc. So much to look at in a small cozy place. And I had my items gift wrapped for free! Amazing experience.
Really ‘liked’ this cute little store and shopped often with my children. Last visit I was RUDELY told that I’d have to leave as I’d been in the store for more than 10 mins (new policy). I then hurried to the counter with my purchase. I mentioned that there was a more appropriate way to express their store policy and that if it weren’t for my child wanting the items I’d have walked out. The manager... Jo... spoke aggressively, loudly and over me and told me that they have plenty of customers and if I wanted to walk out without my purchase I should! Never in my life have I been treated so rudely nor would I ever go back!
Japanese stationary enthusiasts rejoice! This shop is very cute and well organized, lots of small knick knacks and notebooks and pens. I really like the dotted grid notebooks they have. I hope they expand their pen/pencil selection
Hey you! This place? Hidden GEM. This little magic land carries the most unique & fun gifts and trinkets in the city. One of a kind smalls shop, most items are Japanese. Sales associates are awesome & helpful! Go here for jewelry, postcards, planters, stationary & a great selection of BAGGU products.
Cute shop with tons of unique items. I loved it!
Cute shop for small gifts and cards. Majority of inventory is stationary/pen focused. Some artisan jewellery. Small room in back with kitchen centric items.
This is a lovely shop in a convenient location. I like to get paper goods, but they also have jewelry and a small selection of housewares and travel accessories. I always find something fun here, and the service is helpful.
Gorgeous Japanese inspired shopping. Beautiful selection, ambience, service and vibes. Highly recommended.
Cute store with very helpful staff. It was a pleasure to shop here today when I came in with my husband.Edit: Two years later the wallet we bought there is still in great condition and we think about good service we received at the shop often.
Great stock of the cutest and most beautiful things. Staff are always incredibly friendly and nice. Perfect place to stop to get a gift for someone else or yourself.
A lovely and well-curated shop with friendly and really down to earth staff. Among other things, they carry an amazing range of Japanese stationery thats often usually hard to find in the States.
I don’t normally go Google reviews but this place knocked it out of the park. Timely, COVID-safe pickup, amazing wrapping, and great selection. Special shoutout to Dani for the prompt response and for helping make my friends birthday special!!
Cute place with lots of nice stationary and friendly staff ✨
I found this gem of a shop by searching for a specific Nooka watch. Their prices were fantastic and they shipped to me in the UK in no time.The product arrived in perfect condition and working order - I couldnt be happier!
Favorite store in Philly! Great staff great products. (Always a few more sticker options here).
Not just stationary but lots of small, interesting, thoughtful items. Covid safe practices. A good place to shop for holiday gifts.
Thoughtfully curated, this shop inspires amazing gifts for others and sometimes yourself! I always find awesome last minute gifts here and the best thing is the care they take to wrap things up and make them extra special!
Theyre the only place in many miles that have high quality stationery. The owners and workers are all passionate about stationery and are very knowledgeable. Do not go in expecting you wont want anything. You will. Theyve also got a meet up going for Travelers notebooks!
Great little store. Friendly staff, unique and wonderful inventory of Japanese and indie goods. I could easily spend $200 on random epic stuff.
I super loved this store. It has so many cute stuffs to buy. Im planning to buy some pencils and stationary for my niece.
I love this store. They have the fountain brand pens I love and a good variety of Japanese products from office stationary to dishware. I just love this spot. If you love Japanese inspired products I highly recommend visiting this store.
I love this place and its people. I can always find an amazing gift for anyone and creative travel accessories that are useful and interesting. You wont regret your time or money well spent.
This is my favorite shop in town for birthday and wedding presents. they have great little creative solutions for things I didnt know I needed but use every day now from gardening to kitchen ware and stationery.
This place is phenomenal. Cute, intimate space that embodies only having things that make you happy. Take your time and browse through everything because their selection is lovely.
So many great products! I love going here for gifts and always pick up a baggu bag for myself. Omoi will make sure you have the most stylish office supplies.
Great hidden gem! Bring a taste of Japan home with you. Carefully curated nicknacks some inexpensive others are not. Worth the trip!!!
I want to buy every single item in this store.
Small but well curated japanese-themed store.
This place seems to operate their customer service from a place of scarcity versus from a place of abundance. I was testing out a pen by drawing a flower and was told by one of the workers there to stop. It felt unwelcoming.
Omoi does their shop the best. Of this type in town theyre 10/10. Best service and an amazing selection. I walk wellllll out of my way to visit both shops and Im never disappointed
I love this store. Always smells amazing and has the cutest, most unique gifts and home goods.
My favorite store in Philadelphia hands down.
Cute and gives a home feeling. The items are exquisite and lovely, but are a bit expensive. But its nice to spend something for yourself or others once in a while.
Pretty cute stuff though expensive. I bought a reusable Baggu shopper bag from here.
Been in love with this place since 2012. Amazing books, housewares, stationary. It has a lite bit of everything.
Quaint location tucked away in Rittenhouse where you can browse various stationary supplies. Great place to take a date to if youre in the area and have some time to kill.
I use my Midori Travlers Notebook daily, and Omoi has a wonderful selection of inserts and accessories to choose from. Im so happy to be able to buy locally and support such a friendly shop!
Small shop but worth a visit. Lots of delightful little things to see and a nice curated collection of items for sale.
The staff was very helpful and even took the liberty of wrapping one of my purchases for me
Awesome little shop, full of surprises, Japanese stationary & knickknacks, as well as some fun stories of you ask the owner.
Cool to check out but never know what to buy!
Got some high quality Japanese grid notebooks and Im glad I did. A little pricey though, but youre paying for quality. Will be visiting again!
The level of customer service I received was better than I expected. It was also no coincidence that one of the staff members was at the cafe I was visiting. Unbeknownst to her, Omoi Zakka Shop was the next stop on my itinerary for that day. I found pens that I needed, a beautiful Birthday card for a lovely friend, a stylish, functional AND reasonably-priced tote bag, and there were so many other items of interest to readers and writers. Also, this store allows in-store shopping, all staff members were wearing masks and there is a big bottle of Suave brand hand sanitizer by the door which had a nice, light scent and did not feel yucky. I look forward to returning to this store when I return to Philadelphia.
Such a cute shop
Staff has always been friendly and super helpful and glad to have a place where I can feel papers before taking the plunge.
Picked out a wonderful, unique and not-too-expensive gift for a friend here. People who work there are friendly and helpful.
Picked up a fountain pen and notebook at this shop to learn how to write calligraphy. Very cool place with interesting merchandise and good prices!
Incredible little stationary shop whose carefully curated collection of gifts and Japanese stationary products were evocative of a spiritual awakening for a nerd like me.
I come in every 6 months for a new planner and always end up needing to exercise a lot of self control to not drop $100 on nice odds and ends
This is one of my favorite place in Philadelphia! The owner is lovely. Support this business! You will find things that will brighten your day!
Has alot of unique items. Very cool stuff.
Plain, overpriced, and over hyped. I came here thinking I would find some good stuff, but all you can actually get is like Zebra that is actually a Japanese brand.
Its a small boutique but offers a nice array of stationary, writing implements, and office/style goods.
Cute little shop. Perfect for finding something special for those family members and friends who are hard to shop for!
Cute shop with Japanese merch as well as local philly artists
This store always has new, interesting, cool stuff, smartly designed and carefully curated by its owners. Fave store in Philly.
Cute shop for paper goods and gifts
Great place with an interesting selection of stuff, definitely made me consider getting a paper planner again
Great store with stationary, art, and home things. Easy place to find a gift
Cool place, friendly staff and lots of fun stationary products. Its worth the parking hassle.
Friendly and knowledgeable customer service. Quality gifts for friends & family Zen pen/pencil/paper-o-philes.
The shop is super nice and staff are so helpful too. I really like the smell of the shop👍
Lovely selection of Japanese zakka stationery and gifts!
Unassuming gift shop with Japanese and unique items. Postcards, watches, books, etc. Gifts for home, travelers, and children.
It sounds random, but they have the best TRAYS ever. Truly, the best. In different sizes and colors.
Very cute little shop with everything needed that would please your stationery loving soul.
Really cool merchandise this store is me!! It had all of the supply’s I love!!!
Best little gift shop in center city. Very unique and cute stuff.
After a trip to Tokyo a few years ago, I am always on the hunt for a legitimate zakka (misc. goods) store in the vein of Muji or Tokyu Hands in the US. Omoi Zakka is a solid, albeit small, version of that in Philadelphia. I love it. I purchase many gifts here for others as well as many for myself because they carry such an eclectic mix of Japanese products. Dont ever change!
Very cute stuff but not reasonable prices at all
Kinda pricey buuut its worth it. Really neat and high quality things in there
Cool shop. Must visit if u love pen and paper.
Really worth checking out. Great for gifts. Friendly peeps
The cutest little shop for artsy aesthetic souls.
Great stationary shop 😄

Very cute store
Sooo cool
A real treasure slightly off the beaten path.
Good to visit but very expensive
Fantastic!!!
Adorable little shop
My happy place.
A fun store with a lot of different goodies. Greeting cards, pens, notebooks, towels, stationery of all sorts, sun glasses, books, etc. Make sure to look everywhere; there are goodies all over the shop.
I love this place. They have a small bur well thought out selection of stationery and other useful things. I was recently in the shop a few minutes to closing and the employees were helpful without rushing me. They even took the extra step of removing the price stickers from the items I bought as gifts! So thoughtful. I also like that every time I go in the store they never push a sale- they are available if I need help but they give me space to shop. I always get something ☺️
Super Japanese store 🥰 Super easy to visit! ! ! cute enoughAnd the music played in the store is also very good.Such a cute shop! Most of all Japanese stuff, but really cute!!!
If you like Japanese general stores, you will definitely love it ♡ There were also Japanese magazines such as Popeye! All the cards on sale are really cute and have a good taste!
No idea
Omoi crushes it.

2022-04-19Omoi is one of my absolute favourite shops to frequent. They have the best stationary and gifts for every occasion. They feature some really fantastic brands like Blackbird perfume and Nippon Kodo incense. Im constantly coming here for Ohto pens and Mnemosyne notebooks for all my projects and hobbies. The stickers and blind boxes are always a treat to buy. The shopkeepers here are also super friendly. Stop in and say hi to them sometime!

2020-11-13Its a cute little shop but the employees were friendly and helpful. They helped me pick out a present and gift-wrapped it beautifully. Although theres limited selection, they made picking a gift so much faster and easier than other places. Id definitely go again if I were searching for stationary related gift.
