“I love the selection at this store - really unique and interesting! I also really appreciate the excellent service and help finding great gifts! I have gone there several times and asked for age appropriate suggestions-the gifts are always a huge hit!”
“I had to order a present to be sent and they wrapped it beautifully after helping me pick out just the right gift for a newborn. Then they mailed it for me. I had just had surgery and it was great to have them take care of it all for us.”
“The fastest way to relive your childhood! I spent an hour reminiscing with all the toys I had and those I wanted as a kid. Even better when shopping for gifts, giving a piece of shared history back to my loved ones.”
“I recently needed an adorable, stylish & quality baby gift and stepped into Babydreams. The staff were warm, friendly & extremely knowledgeable. They offered great gift ideas that fit within my budget and helped me find the PERFECT gift!!”
“The best toy store on the North Shore! I love the large variety of toys to choose from. It makes birthday shopping so easy! Plus the throw back toys they stock take me back to being a kid myself! Such a fun and special shop! The best!?”
“Every year when I come to Winnetka, I always make it a point to shop Beat Street at least once. The owner and other staff have been super helpful when I needed it and just let me wander until I made up my mind other times. The selection is awesome! I always find multiple things I MUST have.”
“This is the second time I’ve ordered from this store & both experiences exceeded expectations! The first time, I was looking for a specific product. It was shown on their website, but currently out of stock (in the middle of the supply chain issues). I called to check when/if it would be back in stock and their communication was stellar! They let me know that it had been ordered and kept me apprised of subsequent delays.The second time I ordered (today), I was given the option of free local delivery as one of the shipping methods. The gift appeared at my door wrapped complimentary.Both experiences, the people who work here couldn’t be nicer; they truly understand the value of good customer service!”
“JD was immensely helpful and provided exceptional customer service. My wife and I went into the store to get a feel for different strollers, and we walked out with more knowledge than we anticipated!”
“Great place. Very nice and knowledgeable owner. Great selection for any interest! Prices are reasonable for reality as it is now. Tidy, bright, convinient location. Big parking lot.”
“My mother and I just stopped in for some early Christmas browsing for my 3 kiddo's. And, truly what a wonderful children's gift shop! We bought so many great thing's that you can't really appreciate unless you see them in person. I will definitely be back, and recommend this store for anyone seeking a perfect children's gift or baby shower present. Bonus points for the free gift wrap done by the wonderful sales staff!”
“This place is still awesome! The Employees are genuine humans that I swear aren't annoyed with customers questions!
Allison helped me find this awesome dystopia section and magically found a book that fits what im looking for and they dont even know me!
Worth the trip!”
“Best customer service! I cannot wait to shop here again. This was an online order, new vendor for me. I placed my order, great prices. One item out of stock and I received a phone call. On the actual phone. Really. It was followed by an email. My items shipped the same day and I had them the next day (same state, different city). Items were great. Thanks for the great service!”

“Wonderful selection of toys for both smaller and bigger kids. We live in Oak Park but frequent this store from time to time and pretty much always find something for our daughter. Friendly, helpful staff. Very patient and kind to the children. Love coming here!”
“Natasha is wonderful. She does a beautiful job cutting my son's hair. He is not a fan of getting his hair cut - he gets freaked out by the hair clippers and scissors by his ears - and she makes him feel comfortable. She also has done a great job on my teen, and even my own hair! She gives good advice on how to continue to style the hair at home. She's very friendly and nice to talk to as well.”

“My family and I went to buy some loose Pokemon cards that my sons were interested in. The cards that they wanted were very random and consisted of Pokemon using all different energies as well as Trainers. The owner Jester was there and he was extremely helpful, helping us find over 30 of the cards that they were looking through by going through binders and loose cards in a box, which was extremely tedious. We've been to many Gamers Worlds where the employees running the store seem like they couldn't care less about their customers. We were fortunate to have the exact opposite experience here and want to thank Jester so much for his kindness and patience!”
“Big shoutout to Brian.
Came right before opening to purchase riftbound boxes and was able to get them for extremely reasonable prices. they had some supply issues but still allowed me and my friend to make the purchase. Brian even talked about other releases and their events being hosted every week.
First time coming and definitely not my last. I highly recommend if you’re looking to buy some cards.”
“Such a wonderful place for kids hair cuts! We had Ms. Jill today and she is the most kind and patient person I have ever met! She made sure our son was comfortable and happy the whole time and not a single tear was shed. Very happy with the service and will definitely be back! We even got a little certificate for our son's first hair cut”
