“So happy I visited here! It's the perfect stop for wall-to-wall horror memorabilia and horror art from real local artists. Best of all, the staff are incredibly kind, friendly, and knowledgeable about horror movies as well. Looking forward to my next visit!”
“Only two stores like this are in town. The other is on Cicero and Irving . I asked the owner why he didn't have a big store sign outside. His response is " I don't need one ". He was telling the truth. I'll be going there for quality and specialty work wear, for years to come.”
“Embellish is my go to shop for gifts for friends, family and myself! i love the intimacy of the space and the well curated lines of jewelry, bags, accessories and bath and body products! I feel so lucky to be in walking distance! Love how Carrie greets everyone as if she's known them for a while, she is so warm and welcoming and has great suggestions for those hard to shop for friends!”
“My first experience at The Alley was in the mid 90s on Clark during my goth phase. That store had it all. I have since moved away from the area but try to make it in there when I'm in town. I'm happy to see that it is still thriving in its new location. You rock. ☠️☠️☠️”
“THIS was the easiest jeans shopping experience ever! Kim was amazingly helpful, pulling all sorts of great options for me to try on. I would have been lost and not nearly as successful without her help. Highly recommend!!!”
“I searched for months for a Mother of the Bride dress. A friend suggested I contact Thierry. From the moment we met, what had been a stressful process became a joy!I was sure of what I was looking for, or so I thought. Thierry listened patiently and then suggested excellent modifications to my concept based on my figure and the tone my daughter had in mind. He was spot on.His choices of materials were extensive and stunning. My daughter accompanied me to the first visit and we were both thrilled with the meeting and ultimately with the final result.Thierry made the process such a delight that I had him make my Rehearsal Dinner dress as well. I have never had two dresses that fit me so perfectly. I felt spectacular in them!Thank you, Thierry, for your guidance, patience and your beautiful finished product.”
“Love the jewelry selection! I purchased some unique earrings that I always receive compliments on. I Also purchased several yoga pants, workout gear, hats and gloves... they are excellent quality at a reasonable price. Definitely check this store out!”
“Super helpful! I ordered my nieces quince dress at a different boutique since my brother had already done a deposit. Unfortunately the boutique didn’t include the last doll or brindis with packages. I went to this shop and the lady who helped me was super helpful in helping me place my order for these two very important items. I was completely impressed by the details of the bear’s dress and how identical it was to my nieces quince dress. She was over the moon and absolutely loved it.”
“Great place!
Great quality clothing and amazing customer service! I came to this store to buy a birthday fit and I was very happy! The prices are great and the employees are very polite and friendly!
Definitely recommend!”
“PROTEC Termite & Pest Control buys all of our loves from Lou's Gloves. Amazing customer service and we have never had any issues with our orders. Orders always come on time.”
“Owner personally dropped off the gift I had ordered so that I could have it in time for Valentine's Day. It was also wrapped beautifully, which I didn't ask her to do but it was a generous, thoughtful touch. That's some old fashioned customer service!”
“I absolutely love this boutique! I moved here from Florida recently and needed to vamp up my fall/winter wardrobe. Not only do they have a great selection, the staff and owner are so warm and inviting which makes shopping in a small boutique more comfortable and fun! This is now my go to spot for all my shopping needs!”
“This is a charming store that has lots of really cool men and women’s clothing. The staff are super nice and the prices are very reasonable. They have some very cool “neurodivergent” pins, cups, swag so if you have family that are on the autism spectrum it has some great gifts. I bought A nice Chicago T-Shirt for my husband. Location in Lincoln Square is great and nice place to find a special gift after lunch at one of the local eateries.”
“I was there a few weeks ago. I was looking for a hat but left with a three-pack of Field Notes notebooks. It has a mix of outdoorsy gear and shirts for men. If you're a camper type of person or need gift ideas for men, this is worth checking out. Small place, but with a cool atmosphere. I was thinking they should start selling coffee and put a table in that small room, but that would make it even more cramped.”
“My family am I have been shopping at Phayes for years since it originally opened. Heidi and her staff are so very helpful with a keen eye for their clients’ fashion sense. They have been a mainstay of this block and Logan Square for many years, through tough times! There are MANY cultures that have called Logan Square home throughout the generations and we appreciate any locally owned, successful business that enhances the neighborhood.”
“Last year I visited Mexico and grew attached to their style of embroidery. I bought a huipil dress in Costa Maya and really loved their vibrant patterns. While attempting to find places in Chicago that sold garments in this style, Solei popped up on my Yelp search.Solei is a Chicago based store that partners with indigenous cooperatives in Mexico ensuring your purchase goes back to the community. They have a big selection of Mexican style embroidered dresses, tunics, tops and accessories in a multitude of colors and styles. A big plus is that they also sell Otomi style clothes and purses. I was really impressed with their selection which led me to visit them in person. Unfortunately they didn't have what I wanted in store so I ended up purchasing my things online. In house, their stock is limited but at least you can try on stuff for look and fit.A majority of their goods are pulled from their warehouse. What you can't find in store, you can oftentimes get online at: soleistore.comIf shopping in store, they have a section devoted to ball gowns and tiaras. It seems like a popular place for purchasing quinceanera gear if you're in the market for it. Come out and visit Solei. They have a beautifully curated selection of fine Mexican embroidery well worth the trip to Little Village.”
“Needed some last minute shopping for NYE. May I say the salesperson services are really nice & helpful. And my cashier was just as nice as well..Thank you ..I will be returning ????”
“If you love interior accessories, dinnerware, and unique jewelry, get yourself over to Neybir as soon as possible. The store offers an extraordinary shopping experience. Everything is beautifully displayed, the place is huge, and there are items at the full range of price points. The owner and staff could not be more gracious and helpful. Bonus: beautiful wrapping for gifts! There is no other store in Chicago that I love more.”
“I just love this boutique in the Western Suburbs. The women working there are always warm, friendly and have great suggestions. I always find great fashion pieces and accessories for myself. This is my go-to stop for gifts for girlfriends' birthdays, hostess gifts, housewarming gifts, as well as tween birthday gifts and little holiday surprises year-round for my kids. The range of selections is amazing and the price points are very fair!Kate, the owner, is wonderful. Beyond her amazing sense of fashion, style and business, she is friendly, approachable and has a huge heart. She does so much for the community as well and is always eager to shine a light on other local businesses.”
“I recently had the pleasure of discovering Kiwi's Boutique, and I couldn't be more thrilled with my experience. This boutique is an absolute gem. The clothing and accessories at Kiwi's Boutique are of exceptional quality. It's evident that the boutique takes pride in sourcing items that are well-crafted and built to last. I appreciate that I can shop here with confidence, knowing that I'm investing in pieces that will stand the test of time.”
“I love shopping here. There is always a good selection of women's and men's clothing and the prices are reasonable. They have clothes starting at $4 and also offer a designer collection if you are looking for something special. It truly is a Chicago treasure.”
“(Translated by Google) Delighted with the very beautiful clothes, in the area of denim clothing the girl attended us with great kindness ..(Original)Encantada con la ropa muy bonita, en el área de la ropa vaquera la chica nos atendió con mucha amabilidad..”
“4/7/24 was my first visit... & the first time ever that the entire store, minus furniture, has been 75% off!!!!!.... I had a ball. Enjoyed conversing with the owners. Martha was exceptionally nice and informative. The woman who checked me out was super sweet too. Can't wait to go back. In addition to other items, I got a slightly worn pair of Jordan's ... I can't wait to clean them up and bring them back to life!!!”
“I would like to start my review by saying "HELLO DARLING." This was an interesting shop for me because I was unsure whether this shop would have anything for me. But, upon suggestions, I ventured to this shop. I was in this area previously but never knew that there was a hidden gem (shop) in the area. Where were you "The Darling Shop"? Upon entering the store, the store associate welcomed me by placing a white disco ball necklace around my neck (I felt like I was given a medal for partying hard lol) and handed me the goodie bag. She was sweet and patient. As a part of the event, the goodie bag had white disco ball necklace, pink disco ball drink tumblers, facial cleansing wipe, nail polish and some stickers. She explained to me a little history about the store. It blew me away when I knew that this store sells their goods from local area small businesses, people etc. The Darling shop is a stage for all these mini businesses where every product is made with minute detail. This was my first surprise. The store had party stuff, women's fashion, baby stuff was on the right side from the counter, home goods, sunglasses on the left side to the wall and many more. There was one section where they had various kinds of greeting cards. There were a variety of things in the store. My first look was that it was a store for women but as I went around for a bit then it was eye-catching when I saw they had a small section for men which was my second surprise. They had Men's accessories, clothing, and grooming. Upon looking, I bought a black pair of socks for myself. To sum up, the store was cool with such a variety of daily goods. I could not get to meet the owner NIKKI, but the store instantly gives you happy vibes with all the positive quotes around the store and for the stuff they are selling. I also checked out their website which was great, but the only recommendation is it would be nice if the font color is white (other color) on top and bottom of the website as it can be more visible. I would recommend my friends to explore this store. Lastly, for me, THE DARLING STORE = INSTANT HAPPINESS.”
“Beautifully curated athletic wear with solid brands. I had to stop myself before spending all my monies. I cannot wait to be back and get a hoodie and running shoes!”
“Best place to find men dress suits. Came to this location because my son needed a prom outfit. Customer service was respectful and helpful. Catered to our needs, as well as our wants!!! Prices were reasonable. Dress suit selections were phenomenal. I will definitely be coming to modern men for his graduation suit and any other special occasions he will attend. If you need a dress suit for any man. Come to this place!!!!!”
“Could this place be any more amazing? The people are 100% the best in finding clothes I would never have put myself in - but I looked fabulous! I am so glad I have found this option in Chicago for unique, cute clothes.”
