I can't imagine having to carry my groceries out to an apartment, you are all so strong. The columns and ornate entrance was so unique. Loved what i saw, no complaints.

Keep an eye out for the store map handouts to get the most current layout of the store. It's two stories, so there are escalators and elevators. I went to the pharmacist inside, who was helpful and friendly. She also gave me advice about where to go to catch an Uber. If you're into history or architecture, the building the store is housed in is cool looking and has a backstory. Yeah, Chicago - While the Rock 'n Roll McDonald's is no more, the Gothic Target still stands :)

It's such a lovely shop tucked away on Dearborn; the Monadnock Building's history is fascinating too that's all captured in its Wikipedia page. Field & Florist has niche perfumes and divine, custom floral arrangement services, but I came specifically for the latter; I highly, highly recommend them if you're looking for unique fragrances and/or florals. You can also purchase your own stems to make your own bouquet, but if you have an inspiration (yet are short on time), I highly recommend using their serviecs to curate a beautiful bouquet. You can also work with them to pair a fragrance with your florals - I cannot wait to be back in Chicago to stop by them again! If you enter from the street, stay focused on the stairs; if you need wheelchair/mobility impaired access, I'd go through the side building access (by Intelligentsia). All doors are heavy either way, so be careful there too. For floral arrangements: Let them know what your inspiration is and your budget, and they'll work with you. For me, it was Sriracha tofu and I was looking for something under $100; and the florist definitely came through. I loved how quickly they picked up on the white and red themes, and incorporated the The entire experience was extremely low pressure and its a very clam environment. They make sure to ask if you need a wet bag if you won't be able to get your flowers into a vase in less than 3 hours; that's an ~$10 charge, but extremely valuable for me as I was walking around downtown with the flowers for 3 hours and wasn't able to get it into a vase for another 6 hours. I do wish I'd picked up some perfumes - they had the d'Annam, as well as a few other niche brands, that I'd been eyeing for years. So, so happy I got to smell them at long last. In addition to the testers, they give you 2 samples when you make a fragrance purchase and they do up to 3 decants in the store in case you're having a hard time deciding. If you need to wait, I recommend stopping by Intelligentsia - in the same building - before heading back over to view, accept, & pay for your order.

I almost forgot to mention the rooftop has plants and planters for your rooftop or patio. All items are priced according to the quality of their merchandise. In short merchandise maybe a little pricey compared to a box store but, they have the quality and uniqueness that you wouldn't find elsewhere.

It was perfectly sweet, with a really nice layer of foam on top. My only issue was that I wish the espresso was a little stronger. They use Metric Coffee for their lattes, so I was hoping for a little more espresso flavor. It also came with a pretzel topper on top and another one inside the drink, which was a cute touch but didn't really add much flavor. You can also add salted maple whip, which I forgot to get, but honestly the drink was already really good without it. The space is super cute and pink, and you can shop around or sit down and get some work done.
