“The finest place with the finest things! Grails from the 90s to white hot new releases. Excellent LGS! Huge selection of unique minis and paints. They’ll have anything you need to get your next project done. Excellent game space with very high quality one of a kind terrain to play with. Many large high top tables and private rooms. Cool customer loyalty program that has been going for 15+ years. A true gem! Thank you! PS- The staff is awesome and receptive to checking stock within reason, don’t be one star guy who didn’t get his Pokemon that one time ? The boxes just hit different at G+ Be sure to stop in to preorder early in this crazy market”
“Love this cozy airplane shop. The owner is super nice and I love going through the many diecast airplanes he has on his store. I'm glad to see a store like this still exist and I will definitely stop by again the next time I'm in Chicago area. Highly recommended to all!”
“When I called to ask a question they answered the phone and were cordial and polite. Received a Viewliner in the mail from them, It was packed exceptionally well and came in good time. They were even nice enough to include a ruler since I was a first time customer. Would definitely consider purchasing from them again in the future.!”

“Really wonderful store! Mike was super informative and helped me get excited about Warhammer. I am new to everything and he helped me jump right in. Thank you for this new hobby!”
“Have been there twice bringing in coins and jewelry along with my elderly mother. Marc took care of us and I highly recommend him and his staff. Trustworthy, patient, knowledgeable and extremely helpful!”
“Amazing place! Our 12 year old son has been shopping there since he was 7. The selection is truly great, and they are willing to work with different options for a collector who doesn't have vast amounts of money to spend on every stop. Lucas, John and the rest of the team have created a warm atmosphere and allow him to shop at his own pace. Truly worth the drive from Milwaukee. Thanks!!”
“Discovered this shop after a coworker told me about it. We where amazed by all the items and tools, even found some things i needed. Sad to hear about the closure of the store, sad i didnt get to experience Tom Thumb in its prime, but will make as many visits as i can until the end”
“This place is awesome! It is the best hidden secret of a bead store in Chicago for gems and other beads. Truly gorgeous products (all kinds of real gemstones that I wanted to buy them all) and Anna and Diana are lovely people who are so helpful and kind. Glad to support this woman owned business. Love love love their new space and look forward to going back! This special shop should not be missed!”

“My go to LHBS!!! Carries a great selection of grains hops and FRESH WYeast!!! Will even order strains he does not have in stock. Always has the miscellaneous stuff you need at last minute. Great place”
“The owner, I believe her name is Chris, was delightful. I haven't been to a game store in a long time and there was a vast selection of table games to choose from. I love the fact that it was not video games but board games and card games. We spent almost an hour in this store. It was easy to negotiate for someone who is disabled and they have game days and nights every week. You can look at the schedule as you walk in the door and that was very nice. While the actual game times and dates are held in another building north of this location, it appeared that it could be a lot of fun to go there and we plan on doing so. We walked in expecting to get one or two games, we walked out with six and spent quite more than we expected. Expected. But the games were great and we have enjoyed them over the last 2 weeks. An outstanding experience.”
“Even though I don’t do needlepoint, I love going to Emily’s Stitchery. I do embroidery and love their threads and notions. How lucky we are to have such a lovely store in our area.”
“Operated by two incredibly passionate and kind individuals who are incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. When we visited we got to learn about the smithing process and the history of the weapons. We even got to learn some basic dueling techniques with training blades. An amazing experience through and through.”

“I used to live nearby & spent many hours in this store. The owners are wonderful! I bought so many collector Barbie’s & a few Gene dolls. I met the designer of the gene doll, Mel Odom at an event at the store, got his autograph. It was such fun! I plan on passing all those Barbie’s down to my 2 granddaughters (ages 16 & 18) when they get a bit older. They have picked which ones they want. I live in cali now & miss shopping at gigis dolls. It’s a great place to shop & I highly recommend it! Wish I lived closer so I could go say hello & get some more dolls! If you love dolls you have to check out their store, you’ll be in heaven!”
“Good shop, fair prices, and one of the most knowledgeable dudes I’ve ever met. Ron is one of the coolest dudes I’ve ever met at a card shop. I’ll be a repeat customer for sure!”
“Very happy with the customer service. My daughter and I were there today and they were very patient showing her all the different silver bars and rounds for her to make her first purchase. Wish I knew about this shop earlier vs others in the area. 10/10 will be back”
“I’ve been here a couple times now and the same 2 employees I see are very nice and really helpful and gave me lots of recommendations and helped me out every chance they got”
“I stopped in Michael's this evening to get some supplies for a Halloween party. The woman who helped me at the register was the one of the KINDEST HUMANBEINGS I HAVE MET. She had a goofy sense of humor, was incredibly helpful, and truly MADE MY DAY. I hope she reads this, thank you for being you, I hope the Boston Orioles have fantastic season next year!”
“Staff was friendly, customers taught me to play riftbound.
Also the only place I've found in Chicagoland selling riftbound packs for 6$. Have regularly seen places sell for 2x that.”

“This shop deserves even more than 5 stars ? ++++++
Shout out to FRED for his patience, honesty, and expert advice that he shared with me during my visit today.
