So glad to be moving nearby! Now it’s just a hop, skip, and a jump to the bubble highway. Only place that sells EvanHealy products nearby, and my new favorite - Hallo Iceland line of soaps. My bathroom & this shop are totally twinsies.Everyone is always very nice and welcoming. Lovely escape to dive into.

Easily one of my favorite shops in Galena. The merchandise is fresh and modern, everything aesthetically pleasing, curated, and thoughtful. Feels like a shop that could fit easily into cozy corner of Chicago. A breath of fresh air!

Galena Apothecary is a great shop. They carry Elizabeth W as one of their brands, and they sell various scents in their shea butter lotion. I've only seen the brand at one shop in Chicago (though I'm not constantly looking for it), and that shop only had the redwoods scent I think. So now I have even MORE lotion (I have too much; it's a problem) in some really nice, subtle scents. Evan Healy is another brand that they have, which I have never tried but have heard about for years. They also sell scarves, blankets, jewelry, candles, and so on. They had some really delicious salted caramels when I was in so I bought a few of the individual pieces. It's definitely worth a stop if you're in Galena! Shopkeepers are really friendly too. There are a couple of steps to enter the store, so accessibility could be tricky.

We love the Galena Apothecary. It is a MUST on our Galena shopping adventures. However, what started as just a fun check-in/browsing has now become a commitment to some really solid deals! For instance, we purchased the incredible Lavender hand soap in a classy brown-glass container and have thoroughly enjoyed it. We brought it back with us for their wonderful $10 refill deal. They refilled the bottle while we shopped and had it ready when we were ready to check out. Such great service. Some other staples include high quality candles, organic soap bars, decadent hand-creams, and luxurious lotions! Galena apothecary introduced me to the Sea Aster hand creme which I now swear by. I always have a travel size in my pocket! Some other amazing purchases have included candles inspired by different scents found in national parks and a Rosebud Apothecary keychain (yay Schitt's Creek references). The staff are always kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. They've helped me get connected with the best products for me. And I've LOVED how they have maintained protective COVID safety protocols throughout all of the pandemic through today. Thanks for keeping us safe! Galena Apothecary is an incredibly classy, high quality, and chic store. Since the products are high quality, do know that its prices are on the higher end. But the products are totally worth it! Galena Apothecary is always worth a visit for inspiration and body-care needs. Stop by the next time you're in the area. I promise you won't be disappointed.

On our recent weekend visit to Galena, we stopped into Galena Apothecary 4 times! I love the atmosphere and merchandise so much. I could just hang out in this store all day!

Don’t plan on rushing in and out. Every item has been selected for its unique yet functional nature. Go with a friend - you’ll want to share your finds.

Such a great place to shop in Galena, Allison does a wonderful job of selecting items that are unique, different and useful to your everyday life. I love the Beekman body care, her signature lavender hand soap, vintage prints and recycled wool blankets, all which have made their way into our house! Definitely a must shop on Main Street!

I LOVED this store. Admittedly, I was drawn to the name “Apothecary” because of the popular TV show “Schitt’s Creek” like every other millennial, but regardless of your TV show interests, this store is a must-see in Galena. We got several Christmas gifts here. The selection of products is wonderfully curated and includes both local and international goods. A true gem, and very aesthetically pleasing (and it smells good). I had a hard time not buying one of everything!
