Loved this place! Came with a friend for a workshop and had a session with the owner to build my own terrarium. The owner was so sweet and knowledgeable, she helped answer so many questions! The concept here is incredible - it's a studio in the back, but an adorable shop in the front. I spent quite a bit of time perusing the plants, pots, jewelry and more and left with some amazing finds!

Darling! It's such a charming store. The plants are gorgeous! Tony was the best! He helped me pick out my first grown-up plant. Super adorable! Such awesome energy here, indeed Pilsen. Thank you!

Got 4 gorgeous plants during one of their plant sales in April. Love my new babies!Just a heads up when visiting during sales, it can get extremely crowded and there may be a long wait for them to package your plants and bring them to your car. Overall, lovely plant shop that I’ve purchased from several times. They have unique pots for sale and will even repot your plants for you. All of the plants I’ve purchased have held up nicely and are flourishing.

I’ve enjoyed my time here! We bought a spider plant in December of 2020 and it’s grown tremendously over the past few years. Though I’m not necessarily there for the other stuff they sell, I can vouch for the plants being good quality & healthy. We’ve even gone back and picked up more over the years. Overall, it’s a decent shop

I ordered online after seeing an ad about this shop on instagram. Unfortunately, the items were never delivered to me and when I contacted the seller Merl Kinzie about the situation, there were many hoops to jump through before she would even consider a refund. The email exchanges increasingly got more condescending and she kept repeating she could not "honor" a refund. Even after I was required to pay for insured shipping. I do not have the items I ordered or a refund as of writing this review. Dismal customer service.

This store is excellent in every way! The dresses and other items of clothing that are on show in this boutique are some of my absolute favorites. Everything is very pleasing to the eyes and completely satisfies my preferences in terms of fashion. This is the reason why it became my go-to shop. They feature a large selection of dresses in a variety of styles and price points. T he staffs? They are also friendly and willing to accommodate your needs. They really make sure that their customers are comfortable and constantly answer any queries that their customers have regarding the products that they sell. The last time I came here, I bought the dress that really caught my attention. It is such an elegant one and so classy.This shop deserve a five star. I will come back here for sure. Expect to see me here once more because I adore going shopping and purchasing pretty outfits.

Unfortunately, theSHUDIO is not the plant haven it once was. I began going in 2019 and have gone/purchased frequently in the last years. Though the store used to be a huge plant store and resource, especially on the southside, it now feels like a whitewashed surface level boutique. Plants are few and, of the ones they do have, the selection is far smaller than it once was. Now clothes, shoes, and unaffordable goodies take space where plants once were. Staff that used to bring such light and clear care about plants are now gone. I messaged to inquire about a couple of my plants and was left on read both times - despite having recieved help from them this way in the past (after their suggestion to do so!!) and having purchased one of my troubled plants FROM THEM. I have felt such loss from this store both in social media and in person. Things are just not the same and this trajectory is not one for plant lovers.

I ordered online after seeing an ad about this shop on Instagram. Unfortunately, the items were never delivered to me and when I contacted the seller Merl Kinzie about the situation, there were many hoops to jump through before she would even consider a refund, like I had to file a claim with USPS, then she had to file a claim. The email exchanges increasingly got more condescending. She kept repeating she could not "honor" a refund and that she was losing money if she gave her customers refunds, not considering the money I lost by paying her and not getting anything in return. I do not have my items or a refund at this point. The customer service I experienced was antagonistic and pitiful.

Somehow, someway, I found my way to the The Studio when I was looking for some plant supplies. In particular, I found a soil probe and when I googled it to see if I could pick it up locally. That led me to The Shudio. And I've been putting off going down there for weeks now, just because driving down to Pilsen feels like such a chore from the far north side. The shop is lovely. It's really bright, which is good for a shop that sells plants! Also not crowded, which I like since it's easy to see everything, not going to trip over people or merchandise, and so on. Shopkeepers were friendly and offered their help if I needed it but otherwise let me wander at leisure. I honestly went in just for the soil probe but wandered, and left with a new plant (no, I didn't need one) called a purple shamrock, as well as a propagation station. Now I can retire the take-out containers that I'd saved for that purpose, since I have something much more chic to use. The propagation tube had a cutting in it, which I could have purchased for $3. Since I love skincare stuff I also bought a couple masks to try. They sell them in little packets that contain 1-2 masks, which is great because I'd much rather give them a try rather than buy an entire jar and find out the mask doesn't work for me. They have some clothing, vintage shoes, cards, jewelry (some jewelry made in shop!), baskets and pots, plants, and personal care items. April 3, 2022, they are still requiring masks, but they have masks for use if you don't have one with you. They take payment via virtual wallet and maybe cash (but I haven't used cash in ages even pre-pandemic so I'm not sure). They have what looks to be a HUGE back room, so maybe they do classes of some sort? Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying my soil probe in hopes that it will be an alternative to sticking my fat fingers into my plants, a trying out my new face masks for that dewy glow!

What a delightful experience. A boutique filled with plants, vintage wear, jewelry and even artwork. The focus is on sustainable goods and artists who focus on community involvement . All of the staff were wonderful, super friendly and helpful. My daughter and I spent some time chatting with the owner, Merl about vintage finds and sustainability. My daughter purchased some fun earrings and a reasonably priced vintage blazer. We will definitely return to browse the shop.
