A beautiful store with lovely gifts. However, the shopping experience itself was not as pleasant as it could have been. The owner, follows you around the store, not really allowing you to look and pushing the products upon you, whether you want them or not. I did purchase a gift and asked for the gift wrapping, the same woman was just awful and the wrapping was pathetic. I had to redo it when I got home, the two younger sales people at the store were absolutely wonderful despite the owner treating them disgracefully..

Every time I need a gift for a child, the people at Children’s Boutique are spot on. I have never had a disappointed child and we all know, children ‘s reactions to genuine. Fantastic selection and the best advice!

Shopping here is really uncomfortable. The moment you walk in, you're asked what you're looking for and practically aren't allowed to browse the store. The older woman, who I now gather is the owner, just hounds you and starts showing you things even after you've expressed that what she's showing you is not what you're looking for. It's an entirely awkward, unenjoyable shopping experience and not for me.

I called and an older voice that answered the phone was rude and nasty and hung up on me and all I wanted to know was the hours. I read other reviews especially from someone saying I was followed and I’m not even “African American” it’s sad that in 2023 it’s still racism going on it’s tasteless and stupidity. People with that mindset should go back to the country they came from and grow up.

I stumbled upon these reviews after having just visited the store and purchasing a couple of (very overpriced) outfits for my little ones. I don't think the pricing was unexpected though for a children's boutique.It is interesting to find these reviews, because I too, was followed around the store from the moment I walked in - first by the owner with the glasses, than another store associate. I will say I am a white woman (young). Interesting that most of the negative reviews are from poc. I wonder if the instruction from management (owner) is to follow everyone around the store...it was very uncomfortable. Just sharing my experience - overall did not get any negative energy from them - which it seems has been shared by many poc but was still followed around in an awkward manner. Seems like the store needs to change policies (and apparently deal with their racial biases) to become a more comfortable space for shoppers.

Very pushy and uncomfortable experience with the employees here (two older white wonen). Was shopping for a formal dress for my baby and immediately followed by two women working there, who proceeded to show me several dresses as if I could not browse through them and touch them myself. I got the impression they felt I couldn’t afford their clothes (which is just not the case). When I didn’t like the dresses and wanted something more elegant (vs the sparkly tuile dress they showed me), they seemed personally offended and insisted that the brand was chosen by the Royal Family. I truly do not care.They did have plenty of nice things in the store but the service alone made me so uncomfortable it’s not worth going back. Which is really saying something as there are hardly any baby stores in the city.

There’s a reason they have 2.5 stars. The owner is a racist and only tích white people are welcome here.

I have shopped here multiple times with my mother. Both of us white and have had zero issues. The owner had always been nice and inviting. However yesterday when myself and my African American husband entered we were welcomed with flat affect, short questions, and were not offered any assistance. I will never shop at this store again.

Previous reviewers are all pretty spot on. Entered the store with my friend on a Friday afternoon. I am not African American but was almost instantly followed throughout the store. I said I was looking for a holiday dress for my daughter. After asking me several times what I was looking for, an elderly woman with a botched facelift and glasses proceeded to show me a dress. It was purple, and not my taste. She said “we have this in an 8” , and proceeded to pull it from the rack, I responded with “it’s very cute but I’m looking for something a bit more Christmasy” her response was “this isn’t Christmasy enough for you”? It wasn’t. Nor did I like the dress. Nor did I feel comfortable in the store. When I exited the store I said “thank you, have a nice day” to which none of the 3 employees responded. I have previously shopped in this store, my mom shopped for me at the previous location. However I will now avoid it at all costs! A little kindness goes along way.

TLDR: Store owner is racist and unwelcoming. And insisted on gendering our baby.We came in to buy some socks for our baby because the weather got chilly. The woman who owns the store asked “is it a boy or girl”, to which we responded “we’d just like socks, doesn’t matter the gender”. She then said “oh he may like these little socks with the blue boat”. We just grabbed the plain white socks instead.My partner asked if it’s okay to nurse the baby - and the owner looked kind of upset, and told us there’s no private area to nurse and pointed to a chair in the middle of the store. There were clearly multiple private areas - so partner just went into one of the empty changing rooms and sat down to nurse the baby.While I waited, I looked at some of the clothing in the store - there was some cute stuff - but I felt really uncomfortable because the owner/workers in the store kept watching us, and following us around the store. My partner asked them “Can I help you?” because it was so weird.All the reviews are true. Do not shop at this store.

Very uncomfortable feeling walking into the store. The store is very small, yet I was followed immediately after walking in. I only entered the store because my 6 year old saw a pretty dress in the window. I will have to find something similar somewhere else because I will never step foot in there again.

lmaooo. do not support this business, they are 100% racist. i stopped by around christmas time and i only looked through the clothes for maybe one minute before i got uncomfortable and left. the elderly woman there, who i’m assuming is the owner, would not take her eyes off of my black behind! she didn’t even try to hide it. i just remembered this incident and decided to look up the reviews and yeah, they make sense. look at who all of their positive reviews are from. strange energy when u walk in there

An amazing children’s clothing store. My daughters and I have been buying clothes there before my oldest granddaughter was born (11 years ago), and continued shopping for my 6 years old granddaughter.The owner of the store Linda and assistants Hillary and Mr. Ben treat you like a family.I would highly recommend this store.
