“I was just visiting Chicago and looked for a game shop and felt like I was walking to my own game store. Everyone was super friendly. The store was PACKED with great stuff and I love the wall of magic cards! While this won't be my local store I will be using them for singles my local ship doesn't have for the future”
“This place is amazing! I binge watched all 4 toy story movies with my 2yr old daughter in 2 days and the first thing we see is Buzz Lightyear as soon as we walked in. Instant purchase among other great items they have as well as pre-orders. Coolest owner as well, always a pleasure doing business.”
“When I returned to Chicago for the first time in a long time, I found that Lincoln Avenue was abandoned, but Rotofugi was still alive and well.This store has character products, making it feel like you're in Harajuku.There are also Hello Kitty and Japanese products, but now the store mainly sells goods made by an Italian called Tokidoki with Japanese influences.The clothes are cute too.A while ago, there was an event by an artist in New York, and I bought a painting.I hope that someday it will be as valuable as Basquiat.”
“I have shopped here for my granddaughters for years and they always have a very large selection of education and fun toys. Gift wrapping is for free and the prices are very reasonable. Because the Cicadas are coming I bought bug magnifying glasses and journal. Great customer service. Thanks Vernon‼️”
“Very helpful when trying to sell my things to them. Unfortunately for them and me that they couldn't schedule me in to get my stuff. Had a lot of things to get rid of”
“Hands down the best Lego store in all of Chicago land. It can get busy, but the staff are always helpful and cheerful. They know their products and they have always been able to help me find that perfect gift.”

“This is just the loveliest of stores! The owner is spectacular and provides the best shopping experience for guests. I wish every store was like this one!
Shop here for gifts for kids and friends. All gift items are brand new and the clothes are sold on consignment. I saw many brand new items and the prices were incredibly reasonable. They have a little bit of everything for your family.
They also offer gift wrapping and shipping.
A true gem of the neighborhood!”
“This is the 3rd place I’ve been looking for and the closest thing I have found to my nostalgic 90’s comic book store I grew up with. A place where staff- get this actually interact with you. It’s refreshing- they have great stock, the name is badass, & the vibes are great.I love that the first time I was in the store and Wes Anderson’s, Fantastic Mr Fox was playing and the quote “But In The End, He's Just Another Dead Rat In A Garbage Pail Behind A Chinese Restaurant." was muttered in the background. I chuckled and contained on to enjoying every moment I was in there. Keep it up guys!”

“Today was the first time I stopped into Parkway Presents. Took me a while to see what your store is all about & I’m so glad I finally visited! Your customer service and variety of children’s products is outstanding. So great to get back to old school values where customers are appreciated and greeted with a smile. The sales associates were so knowledgeable regarding all the fun creative in stock items. Their suggestions were right on for what I was looking for. I’ll definitely be back with my 7 yr old grandson who I’m sure will love choosing a special toy he’ll enjoy that doesn’t involve screen time!
Thanks

“The coolest stop we made on our short trip to Chicago this time! An absolute MUST visit for anyone who loves horror.
Moses is an absolute gem human and we stayed in the shop for an hour just chatting with him. We spent money, and got some amazing stuff, but the experience we had conversing with him was the best part of our time in the city. More people should be like him in life! Horror movie knowledge and just genuine cool knowledge too.
We will definitely visit again next time we’re here!”
“Rich's collectibles has a wide selection of many different collectibles and the owner is very friendly too. It's the perfect spot to find gifts for yourself or others at a great deal! Prices are very fair! Will be back again!”

“Absolutely recommend 100%. I was tasked by my grandma to have a doll restrung. I was about to ship it to another company for much much more $$$. I didn’t know so I assumed that’s what it costs. I confirmed the address to ship it to and that company never responded. I reached out to GIGI’s. Emailed me back quickly. Very reasonable price. Told me how to ship it. Was returned fixed to me within about a week. Was very happy with it. The doll owner is very happy as well?.”
“I went to Aw Yeah Comics for the first time ever, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Everything is well organized, clean and the overall atmosphere of the store is nice! Not to mention all the unique art all over the store! :) Overall I had a good and pleasant experience, definitely plan on going again also recommend! 5/5”
“Always well stocked and excellent customer service. The staff is knowledgeable. I usually go with their recommendations on what to get for birthday gifts and they are always a big hit.”
“My husband and i sort of wandered in (i didn't think it was open since you can't tell from the street) but we got buzzed in and WOW was it worth it, an amazing collection, some of which my husband recognized from his childhood with plenty of toys and models with all sorts of themes. GREAT stock of Horror stuff and a super friendly lady at the counter. We will absolutely be back, this place is a hidden gem and well worth the trip on a rainy Satuday afternoon.”
“I recently needed an adorable, stylish & quality baby gift and stepped into Babydreams. The staff were warm, friendly & extremely knowledgeable. They offered great gift ideas that fit within my budget and helped me find the PERFECT gift!!”
“This place was STACKED, absolutely jammed with great stuff. I could've been in there for a longer time, but they were doing good business that day so I had to get in and out. I got way more than I thought I'd want to get. The prices are exactly what I had in mind. The owner was really friendly. Extra points (six stars, if I could) for his kindness to my dog. I just happened to be walking by and didn't have anywhere to put him and he's too little to tie up. I asked the owner if I could just hold onto my dog. The owner said yes, of course, and was super-nice and funny about it. I'll be back sans dog to spend more time in there. Thanks so much.”
“Its so nice and cozy in there, and there's a wide variety of candy choices for incredibly cheap. Your able to get multiple pieces of candy for a $1.50. The owner of the store is so nice and sweet, and she overall makes the place so much better. For sure my new favorite candy place, and I will be going again. I recommend this place to any candy lovers.
Kid-friendliness: the owner is a literal sweetheart to any kids. I love her so much.”

“The best toy store on the North Shore! I love the large variety of toys to choose from. It makes birthday shopping so easy! Plus the throw back toys they stock take me back to being a kid myself! Such a fun and special shop! The best!?”
“Such a fun little shop! There is something quirky for everyone in here, perfect for gifts for sure. Little games, fun stationary, puzzles, mugs, tote bags, andersonville paraphernalia they got them all!”
“Every year when I come to Winnetka, I always make it a point to shop Beat Street at least once. The owner and other staff have been super helpful when I needed it and just let me wander until I made up my mind other times. The selection is awesome! I always find multiple things I MUST have.”
“I love that I can pick up fair trade coffee right in Evanston at this great little shop. The gift selection is great, and the women who manage the store are really mission driven.”
“JD was immensely helpful and provided exceptional customer service. My wife and I went into the store to get a feel for different strollers, and we walked out with more knowledge than we anticipated!”
“Such a wonderful place for kids hair cuts! We had Ms. Jill today and she is the most kind and patient person I have ever met! She made sure our son was comfortable and happy the whole time and not a single tear was shed. Very happy with the service and will definitely be back! We even got a little certificate for our son's first hair cut”
“Honestly, pretty good place for collectors. Very very wide selection of Marvel, DC, DBZ, Transformers, and pretty much everything else you can think of. Owner is a real nice guy who you can tell loves his job. Only problem is the prices can get real high sometimes for some reason. Though you can usually get a pretty good deal from the owner.”
“This is such an adorable shop with the cutest clothes, accessories, and toys for your 0-12 year old. They also have some amazing sales so be sure to follow them on social media. Also - it’s a no brainer if you need a gift for a child! I wish they carried some of their cute clothes in MY size…they are so trendy!!!! ❤️”
“My mother and I just stopped in for some early Christmas browsing for my 3 kiddo's. And, truly what a wonderful children's gift shop! We bought so many great thing's that you can't really appreciate unless you see them in person. I will definitely be back, and recommend this store for anyone seeking a perfect children's gift or baby shower present. Bonus points for the free gift wrap done by the wonderful sales staff!”
“Great little place tucked away in the north side. Figures ranging from McFarlane Metal Gear, to Godaikin, to Microman. If you have a hankering for vintage plastic, come here! Make sure you have enough though, your wallet will be screaming on the way out ?”
