“This store is awesome for collectibles and some precious childhood memories! From sanrio to barbies to comics and LOL and american girl dolls...they have so much cute things! The owner was very helpful and sweet! My daughters love their Labubus from here! We will definitely be going back!”
“Was advised to check this place out since I just relocated and needed several furniture items. Not only did I get some furniture, but there were also some other small home items and cool shoes that I went home with. If you need help with delivery, they do have a list of three private people that they refer customers to if you don't have the physical means to move purchased big items. I didn't spend too much time in clothes and shoes since I was on a furniture and home mission, but everything looked well organized and selected where some donation stores look as though items aren't well sorted or some items may not be in good condition to sell. All staff were extremely patient and kind and I will be definitely returning in the future. I feel they have strong community pride, and the business is well worth supporting.”
“BEST selection of reasonably priced funky clothes, shoes, and jewelry in Chicago! Good furniture and a fun store atmosphere and staff. Not as much bricabrac but well worth a visit.”
“The store is well-organized, clean, and filled with a thoughtfully curated selection of clothing, home goods, and unique treasures — all at affordable prices. Every visit feels like an adventure, and you never know what incredible items you’ll discover. The quality of the merchandise is consistently impressive, and it’s clear that everything is carefully chosen and well cared for. The layout makes browsing enjoyable, and the welcoming atmosphere encourages you to take your time exploring.
What makes Monarch Thrift Shop truly special is the warmth and heart behind it. The staff and volunteers are kind, helpful, and passionate about supporting the community through their work. They go above and beyond to create a positive experience for every customer, and the proceeds go toward a great cause, making each purchase even more rewarding. You leave not only with something wonderful but also with the satisfaction of supporting a business that gives back. Monarch Thrift Shop is more than just a thrift store — it’s a place where style, value, and compassion come together beautifully.”
“Really great thrift store with excellent prices. Kathy the owner was very friendly and explained to us how she likes to rotate the merchandise that she has in her shop. My daughter and her 30-year-old friends love to go thrifting so they can recycle gently used items instead of buying new items. The store had so many great items including a fantastic selection of new as well as vintage lamps, glassware, home decor, jewelry, furniture, shelving units and much much more. We will definitely be back to visit with Kathy and her cute dog Buddy.”
“This store has the coolest collections — you can really tell that there is so much thought into its curation. The sellers are so cool and kindhearted; they’ve created a community space in this storefront. VF is my new favorite vintage store in Chicago”

“Katie is very friendly and kind. Shes really great at making you smile whenever you interact with her its nearly contagious because you cant help but be happy with her and smile too. Katie is awesome! Rock on and keep being your authentic kind self! Love this location because of her :)”
“The store manager was helpful and kind. She shared different content creators online to get inspiration from. I will definitely be returning with my mom to show her the place as well.”
“This was first time in this sweet shop but not my last. I thought that I had been UNDERcharged for an item; the owner kindly addressed it all. There are so many nifty items that will attract all visitors.”
“Always stop by here when I am in the area. One of the best thrift stores I have been too. Always clean and organized. You can go every day because there is always new stuff out!”
“I recently found this thrift and I really like it, but I really want to say I think it’s a really beautiful service they’re offering that they will help trans folks with appointments to help them learn to dress for their new body! I love to support somewhere that’s willing to be so kind to the community”
“Nice Staff who do a great job arranging the donated items. I especially love the openings with fresh restocking every season. Elana the manger is doing a fantastic job at the helm.”
“Some great finds with amazing prices! I also appreciate knowing that it's going to a good cause. The workers are volunteers and we're very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely go back to both donate and purchase items.”
“I cannot express enough how much I love this place! I always leave with the best finds. I find the prices to be very reasonable. The store associates are always super friendly. I've had a great experience both in person and over Instagram when they post the new items.”

“Absolutely love the Shop from the attentive staff and volunteers, to the amazing window displays, from the great selection of clean, quality clothing that I am saving from a landfill to the important mission. So glad to have the shop in town.”
“Everyone who works here is a gem, I love the service they provide (helpful but hands off, perfect for my Gen Z avoidant nature) but not the best selection. Giving 5 stars because no one who works here can really help that. Clothing is decently priced, furniture goods are not as generous, but I get it, we all have to keep the lights on. Overall a great stop and shop for the neighborhood.”
“Love coming here!! It is a treasure chest of jewelry, clothing, shoes, house stuff and more. Today i found Salvador Ferragamo boots, in Chocolate brown in my size!! I bought a flower arrangement in a basket in perfect condition
And brand new mugs. I started Xmas shopping for sure! Nancy the manager is always so friendly and helpful. Thank you for expanding the store. It looks bright and shiny! Congratulations Wings and Nancy on a job really well done!”

“Very nice affordable clothes! Bought khakis for $7 and a Google tshirt for $2. The people at the front desk were super friendly! Definitely coming back for some summer dresses soon! ❤️”
“I had time to kill between testing at Lutheran General so I stopped in to roam the aisles and I’m so glad I did!
The store is extremely organized. The shelves are neatly stacked with countless treasures, separated by holiday, frames, kitchen items, serving dishes, mugs, decor etc. Everything was easily visible without having to lift or move things.
I did not shop for clothes but was impressed by the endless racks of items. Everything neatly hung separated by size and color. A coat did catch my eye which was vintage cashmere Mark Shale for $6.99. I snatched that right up. It’s gorgeous.
Next trip I will be spending more time going thru the clothing. The shoes are separated by color and there were many that caught my eye but I was running out of time.
The staff was incredibly friendly (well, the young man that checked me out was really the only person I interacted with) but he was great.
Looking forward to stopping by again.”

“THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING PLACE IN THE WORLD! if you’re thinking about it, stop by. there are a plethora of interesting things in the top floor (you could easily spend HOURS just looking around at everything), and then there’s a super interesting thrift shop type of thing in the bottom floor. this store is SOOO MUCH FUN! you will have so much fun here no matter who you are. i definitely recommend that you stop by!! and all of the staff are super nice. you should come by!! i absolutely love this place <3”
“I wavered between 3 and 4 stars for this review - I suppose a 3.5 is fair. Don't get me wrong - I absolutely love the restore. They have great treasures to find! Also, my family benefited from a Habitat house when I was growing up - it was a pivotal change in our life so I 100% support all their stores!!However, my decrease in stars comes from the employees/volunteers (not sure which) helping load the items. Next time I'm going to see if I can just use their carts and go get the items myself and take the lead as they load them.Here's the issue: I bought a couch for $200 and table with chairs for $125. The couch was in pretty good shape - no major issues. But I think when the person loaded it on the cart, they grabbed the cushion on the back of the couch and pulled it to life on the card. The middle cushion is now torn. I noticed before the loaded it in the van and said something to the other person helping to load it but it was kinda just brushed off. I could have returned it but need a couch so I figure I'll just get it fixed and be careful for now.Then, the table looked awesome but they put it upside down in the van and then pulled it out to take the legs off. At some point during that, the top of the table was scratched pretty bad. I also saw this and mentioned it to the person but was brushed off more or less. Not really in a rude way - they were all very nice - but just in-different to it. Again, I could have returned it but need it so I'll fix it later.I'll update this review with pics when I can.”
“It was a nice goodwill. Many things are packed on the shelves in the hardlines area, & a very large section of the clothing is dedicated to Woman's Clothing's. Men's section of clothing I found it hard to find any short sleeve collared shirts. Each size of the section didn't have much more than 3 feet of clothing of nothing special brands. I've noticed that many of the 50% tags are missing. They could have been pulled to make more room for new items, but with much space already available, I am unsure why.
This place was a bit clean & organized other Goodwills I have visited.
I really appreciate that they have a bick rack outside the store. Much appreciated.
I wasn't able to find much today. But there's always another day for many new things to come in.”
“My sister and I saw this place while driving down the street and we had to stop. There are so many nice, quality pieces in here. It's a treasure hunt and the owner is very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.”
“Fabulous shop with amazing finds! One of the best curated thrift stores I’ve ever visited - with the best owner! The selection here is incredible; every rack feels intentional and thoughtfully chosen. Clothing, accessories, and home décor are well organized, making it easy to find high-quality pieces.
The store is clean, welcoming, and has a boutique-like feel while still offering great prices. There is care put into sourcing and displaying items.
If you love thrifting but appreciate a well-curated, stylish experience, this place is a gem to seek out. I have found some really unique items. Highly recommend!”
“Great thrift shop. Very random in objects acquired/donated, but interesting enough that it's part of my circuit of places to visit. Usually walk away with at least one thing per visit, or the desire to. Which is more than most thrift stores I visit anymore.”
“I enjoy going here to find charming decor, kitchenware, craft supplies, and clothing occasionally. For example, I found this cute snowman tablecloth to use for winter. I also was able to find lots of lights and tinsel for this past Christmas. They do not have clothing for babies/children (except some costumes like for Halloween), but there are toys and other media in the back. Been visiting for over a year. I think the current staff are pleasant! They greet you verbally with a hello or nonverbally with a smile and otherwise won’t bother you as you browse unless you want help. They also are very receptive to donations. Thankful to explore this little treasure trove.”
“Nice place with very wide range of selection from picture frames to ice skates to stationary to electronics and clothing and bags and so much more! great place for everything!”

“I don't love supporting the salvation army because I don't think they are a very ethical company. That said, sometimes second hand is what is accessible and this place has a fairly large selection.The pros-they usually have a large selection-things are organized-there is a dressing room and mirror-they have a large amount of furniture in particularThe Cons-Things are priced a little high... I likely wouldn't buy it unless it's the half price color- things are organized by type and color, NOT by size. It makes it harder to find things that work for me”

“This is one of the best thrift stores in the north shore. It began years ago as a clothing exchange for the preschool that shares the building and evolved from there. They are so well organized and do an excellent job of putting items on sale when they have too much of something. They are volunteer run and donations go to local charities. It’s a gem of a place to donate and shop.”
