I can not recommend schaefers enough . they went the extra mile to ensure that my lovely elderly parents in England could send a wonderful Christmas box of wine and cheese to their brother in Chicago. A big thank to Mick Ter Haar for his patience and kindness he was amazing and I am so grateful.Fully recommend enough

We contracted Schaefer’s to provide beer, wine, and spirits for our wedding in August 2023. Their prices are very reasonable. They were prompt with the delivery of our beverages and they independently coordinated the pick-up of all unopened containers at the end of the night. I would highly recommend Schaefer’s for all of your event beverage needs.

I like the manageability of Schaefer's. It's easy to get in and out and for the size of the place, the selection is large. I am a member of their CAPS rewards program (free) which means they have a record of that great bottle you bought and you don't have to remember what it was. Cheese, snacks, crackers, good beer, cider offerings. Staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Even with ongoing construction on Gross Point Rd, it'sl easy to get in and out via Old Orchard Road and their parking lot always has room. Why go big box when you can get service here? Cheers!

I was out of town, and I needed to send a gift to a friend in Wilmette. One phone call to Mick and he put together a beautiful gift box and had it delivered the next day. It was a perfect experience. And so easy!

Prices keep going up and customer service keeps getting worse. I waited over 8 minutes in line while 3 employees were just standing around. Put my purchases back and left.

They always have the best choices in stock. I pass by at least a couple other franchises just to come to this place. The owner is super friendly and is always a great help, he only suggests the best products that fit your needs,

Great selection - HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE customer service. Although I live in the neighborhood, I'm done shopping at Schaefer's due to the incredibly poor (downright rude) way they treat their customers. I just walked over to pick up a couple of six packs and waited in line behind one customer for over five minutes. When a long line began to form and they called a new cashier to the front (an older guy with gray hair and the attitude of a surly teenager who I'm assuming is the owner or manager). The guy scowled throughout the transaction and when it was complete crumpled up the receipt and called the next customer - no thank you, no nothing (other than a continuation of the highly unpleasant attitude). Keep in mind, all I did was say hello and place my beer down. This type of uncalled for hostility is par for the course at Schaefer's though. With Binny's right up the road, I really have no clue how they stay in business. One other thing - I've probably shopped here over 35 times and never once has an employee greeted me, asked if I needed help, or exhibited anything resembling friendliness or good customer service. While today's experience was exceptionally horrible, it was also not that far of a departure from a typical Schaeffer's trip. PLEASE TAKE YOUR BUSINESS ELSEWHERE!
