This time I made an appt with the infamous Suzie who was kind enough to meet us on a Sunday morning before the store was even open. Suzie has quite the reputation (a good one!) among the bat mitzvah girls and I can see why. She had an eye for what would look good on my daughter and nailed it within 5 minutes. Done! We then made our way downstairs to do some shopping while we had the store to our own. She found a dress to wear to other mitzvahs that she liked so much we got it in a few colors and did some fall shopping as well (aka sweatpants and cute long sleeve tees). We spent more than I was planning to, but the smile on her face was priceless. My daughter wears a junior size and I do find the dress selection a bit limited for juniors (she had 2 racks to choose from), but they certainly have more than anywhere else I've seen and easier to try on person than ordering a bunch online. I think she's good on dresses for the rest of 2023, but when we are ready for more I"ll definitely be calling Suzie to make sure she'll be there to help!

After not greeting me, she proceeded to greet the next two people walking in. I will never understand treating customers differently on appearance or talking down on you for looking at items in the store, or being unable to wrap their mind around the concept that customers could be shopping for another person. I will spend my money at a less judgmental, ignorant establishment.

Same goes for leggings...I wish they had more color options. The prices are reasonable and even better if you are able to shop when there is a sale. If you are buying for a new baby keep in mind they run small. They will box and put bow on anything you need wrapped. The sales associates are always super nice and helpful with seeing if they have extra sizes in the back. Parking on Halstead can be a bit tricky on weekends.

They pointed out a couple areas where they have "girl" baby clothes (I mean, clothing doesn't have a gender but we exist in the world where people like to do that). Most of their clothes are for children older than mine but they did have a few things. It's definitely expensive, though, so I don't know that I'd buy a lot here. I did buy some very cute barrettes for my baby (I've found it hard to find some that don't have pieces attached to them, and I don't want pieces that might pull off) and I'll probably purchase more at some point. I also will check out their holiday stuff and may look at the coats they have as well, as the weather cools down. I'll certainly keep an eye on their Instagram, too.

Vanessa, the owner, is exceedingly kind and stopping in today and having the chance to meet her feels like fate. When I first stopped in the other employee here greeted me and asked what brought me in and if I needed help finding anything. It's not a large place but there is a LOT to look at. They have clothing, accessories, adult jewelry (possibly kids jewelry too, but I wasn't looking at it much), hair notions, and so on. One thing I really needed is a pacifier clip since my daughter has taken to pulling hers out and it ends up in a place in her carseat that is hard for me to reach! They happened to have these which made it a successful shopping trip right there. But whilst we were wandering, Vanessa complimented my sweetie pie and we got to talking. I was in the store for 35 minutes or so and probably half of that was chatting with her. I got a couple of the pacifier clips, and a freaking ADORABLE winter hat that I'm pretty sure is handmade and will probably fly off the shelf. I also bought a book featuring Chicago landmarks which I learned as I checked out Vanessa actually wrote. She autographed it for my baby which I love! Parking is street only and probably can get tough some days, but it's worth the visit. The store is full of really high quality items. They have quite a few Chicago-themed items as well, such as the aforementioned hat, onesies, t-shirts, and so on. It was so nice to talk with Vanessa and get to know her a bit. This is a small shop with big heart and should be on your list of fave baby shops in Chicago.

If you're white, this is apparently the store for you. Extremely racist, unprofessional, and…read moredisappointing experience. We visited this store as a group of five brown people, and from the moment we walked in, we were met with an incredibly cold and dismissive attitude. Meanwhile, three white couples were being assisted by the sales representatives. There was a man and a woman at the front counter. The woman was constantly on her phone, while the man had an iPad in his hand. When I asked if someone could help us with a few questions about strollers, the woman told us that the sales representatives on the floor could help but were all busy. We understood and waited patiently. We waited a full 30 minutes, and nobody bothered to help us. Eventually, one of the white couples left, freeing up a sales representative. He disappeared into the back and still did not come to assist us. I had to return to the counter and ask for help a second time. When the representative finally approached us, he had a completely uninterested expression and essentially said, "Yeah, what?" I asked about several strollers, but instead of opening them up, demonstrating how they worked, or properly answering our questions, he simply pointed at the products from a distance. We had barely been speaking with him for five minutes when, at around 4:30 p.m., he started cleaning up and putting things away, effectively cutting our interaction short and making us feel unwelcome. What made the situation even more upsetting was watching the staff become attentive to white customers while we were still waiting for assistance. While we had been waiting for 30 minutes, the woman at the counter, who had been on her phone, approached another white couple to offer help. Then, when we had finally managed to get a sales representative to assist us after repeatedly asking, the man with the iPad also approached another white couple to ask if they had any questions. We had barely begun receiving the assistance we had waited so long for, yet the staff were already making themselves available to other white customers. The contrast in how we were treated compared to the white customers was impossible to ignore. On top of this, we experienced inappropriate and uncomfortable comments about pregnancy, including questions such as, "Who told you that?" and "Have you ever spoken to a pediatrician?" These remarks were unnecessary, intrusive, and completely unprofessional. Expectant parents should feel comfortable asking questions and shopping for their babies without being made to feel judged or uncomfortable. I have never experienced such blatant disregard and disrespect in a retail store before. We were patient, polite, and simply wanted assistance with an important purchase. Instead, we were ignored, dismissed, and made to feel as though we did not belong. It is deeply disappointing that in 2026, people still have to wonder whether they will be treated differently because they are brown or Muslim. No customer should have to experience this kind of treatment. Absolutely terrible customer service. I would not recommend this store, especially to expectant parents who deserve to feel welcomed, respected, and supported. I hope management takes these concerns seriously and investigates how customers are being treated. Update: I tried reaching out via the email address provided, but it appears to be invalid. I hope this was an honest mistake, as I was genuinely willing to discuss our experience privately.

Was I sure based on so many reviews about rude staff, but those people definitely weren't there this day if at all anymore.

Before you even enter the shop you see that they sell Cubs-themed items. There's a wall of mostly Cubs and a table exclusively of Cubs. On the table was a sign that announced a Labor Day Sale, everything 15% until Monday. Remember, this is ON THE CUBS table. When I asked why I didn't get my 15% off, I was told that Cubs items aren't included. Yes, on second look I saw there it was in tiny type, but that's not the point. The sale sign was literally placed among the Cubs items and so it was obviously misleading. When I pointed this out to the sales associate, her affect was, well, bored/annoyed. So I'm withdrawing a star because I wonder about the store's integrity and business practices.
