I was there on Saturday. They had a fair with many different services. My son and I decided to do a walkin booking with clairvoyant Erin. Please don't waste your money. I felt leaving like I had met a con person. Not only me , but I bought my son a reading also. There was not anything she said had any closeness to my life or son either. Please people be careful with your money. We all work to hard to think people are honest, caring , ethical people. It was a sad experience. $60. lesson. read more

Amazing selection of products. Great prices. They have new and used books. A large selection of crystals, spiritual statutes, tarot, candles, and incense. Great customer service. read more

I stop in on occasion to check out various books and card decks. For these items, the prices are 'typical' since most are pre-priced and cost the same if purchased online. Everything else has a pretty hefty markup. And still, it is a very nice shop to come and browse. Every September, the Theosofest is held on this property and everything in the store is generally 25% off. The bookshop is on the grounds of the Theosophical Society and there is a lovely labyrinth on the property. read more

Really neat bookshop. Wide range of books and items. One of my favorite places to buy crystals, sage and tarot cards. Super friendly staff. Overall a great place! read more

My winding path of spirituality began when I walked into the doors of this amazing shop. After a long battle with giving up Christianity, I knew there was yet another path that I needed to explore. Everything came together while exploring and perusing the books in this shop. Here you can find everything from transcendental meditation and Eastern religions to earth-based Paganism and Magick and everything in between. Not only religions, but also books full of mythology and history. I could spend a fortune on these books, but I was not scolded or hurried to leave when I found myself enraptured in a book of Wiccan rites and beliefs. The statuary and figurines along the walls are beautiful. Pan, Anubis, Quan Lin, Zeus, Odin, laughing Buddha, Vishnu; just to name a few. If you are looking for a particular Deity, you will be sure to find it here. I came across plenty of candles made during different lunar phases and made of soy and beeswax, incense of many variates, and essential oils. Also shamanic drums, relaxation Cd's, and even scrying bowls. I came in to find and purchase my new Book of Shadows, but I came out with a new perspective on my spirit and then some. This was on my first visit. I cannot see into the future, but I know this place will become a resource of the rest of my journey. read more

I'm not surprised that I'm the first to review Quest. You probably wouldn't know it unless you were looking for it. Quest is located off of Geneva Road in Wheaton on the grounds of the Theosophical Society. It has a great selection of new age books, crystals, candles, incense, and other related items. They have a very impressive selection of sage as well. Quest is very laid back with several chairs for reading and tea to sample. You are encouraged to spend time browsing and no one will bother you. Often there is someone on site offering readings for a reasonable fee. Overall, Quest is probably one of the better New Age stores in Chicagoland, due to the wide selection, reasonable prices, and calming atmosphere. read more

A perfect place for anyone on a spiritual "quest"! This store has books for all subjects, they may be a part of the Theosophical Society but they offer books & materials pertaining to various eastern religions, western religions, mythology, history, new age and pagan - there is a great deal of variety. They have the standard: candles, incense, crystals, cds but also carry Tibetan bronze bowls, figurines, artwork and other unique items. I've purchased a nice sized Himalayan Rock Salt Lamp and love it. I noticed on my last visit they increased their jewelry section, I'm not sure if they're done by local artists or not but their selection is really top notch - its not your common cheap jewelry that you sometimes see at similar stores. Very gentle and quiet atmosphere, definitely will return. read more

Quest has some different services offered throughout the week, and there's an absolutely AMAZING Intuitive Reader named Teri who reads at Quest on Wednesdays. I've had multiple sessions with her and I'm never disappointed. She is SO cute and funny and she's one of those people who are so easy to talk to and connect with. Teri is different from most other Intuitive Readers/Psychics that I've seen before. She has a way of delivering messages, even really difficult ones, as they they need to be told, with integrity, honesty, and compassion. She has this incredible ability to know when to keep things light and inspirational and when it's time to dig deep and address questions and messages that're more serious, the kind that are the key to healing. And to me, this is why Teri's gift is special, through her connection with Spirit she helps to facilitate healing and personal/spiritual growth. What I like best is that Teri doesn't just answer questions, she helps you to understand what the answers really mean and what to do with the answers, how to process the info. And since a good Intuitive reading (for me) is always emotionally charged and flooded with info, this effort to guide in processing is priceless. Teri is one of the few, the TRULY GIFTED. She is an ELITE Intuitive Reader. I haven't tried the other service providers at Quest yet but I have heard that they are all quite good. read more

A nice space to be in. Great selection of books and stellar selection of tarot cards. They have used books for cheap, and I saw a beautiful ring that I'm saving my money for. read more

Amazing shop that calms your soul the moment you walk in! They have an amazing assortment of things to appeal to many different spiritualities. read more

By far, my most comfortable place to shop. Upon entering, the scent of incense consumes you and draws you in to a relaxing browsing experience, and you can expect to spend some time as there is so much to take in. All facets of spiritual literature and artifacts one can imagine. The staff are very helpful, and appreciate you're being there. I absolutely love this place. I get lost every time I'm there... read more

I have been a long-time customer of Quest. Whenever I would walk into this place, it was soothing, peaceful and smelled wonderful. I last visited this past weekend and was quite disappointed. This is not the Quest it used to be. First, there was a lot of noise coming from behind the counter when I first walked in. When I stepped in further, I noticed two women, who were too busy tending to a child of about 3 or 4 years old to greet anyone coming in. At one point, the child was behind the counter, and the mother was in the back room whistling back and forth across the store to her kid behind the counter. It was disruptive and annoying. As I was leaving, I noticed the child, unattended, barefoot and sitting on the floor near the center display messing around with an expensive wooden box. Mom was nowhere to be found. Throughout the visit, the voice level was so loud that it drowned out the beautiful music that is always playing in the store. What used to be peaceful place to visit is now just another bookstore. Quest has always been a library atmosphere - a meditative and sacred space. Vibe has totally changed. Such a shame that management is no longer on top of maintaining the shop and respecting its customers. read more

Always amazing. Staff is friendly and helpful, prices are good for what you get. I go here mainly for stones/gems and incense, never disappointed. Their gems are beautiful and have such a wide and diverse selection thats tough to beat. Will return here many times as I have during the years :-) read more

Such intelligent and informative people work there! The people in the bookstore have been very helpful. They know a lot about the different books and topics offered at the shop. It is just a small part of the Theosophical Society which is on the property as well. You can take classes and learn a lot about different types of spirituality in the main building. The readers at the store are awesome! They have gifted readers that focus on topics such as - Akashic Records, Tarot, Astrology, Psychic, and Angel readings. read more

Living in the Chicago area, it's surprisingly hard to find new age/spiritual/metaphysical shops around. I had gotten a recommendation of this place after the metaphysical store near me closed down over a year ago. I have been to Quest a few times now, but I finally managed to remember to write a review for them! The shop is fairly sized with books on just about every subject that deals with Religion, spiritual, metaphysical, Native American, Egyptian, Buddha, Chakras, Meditation, Angels and lots lots more! They have an area in the back where you can sit on a couch and read a book if you're deciding on whether or not to buy it. I spent a good twenty minutes or so flipping through a few books and I ended up buying one, I am glad I didn't feel rushed to read and make a choice! Not only do they carry a wide assortment of books, but they carry soaps, sprays, roll ons and other natural products like that. Their crystal and stone assortment is massive! I ended up purchasing a good 15 stones or so and the size of the other stones they carry range from small to huge. I saw a huge amethyst crystal about the size of my head, I believe it was around $200. I wish I could buy it, but anyway, they also carry tarot and angel an esoteric cards and more card assortments. Their candle and incense assortment is also pretty big. They carry different branded and packaged incenses as well as different types of candles for whatever your need may be. I ended buying a candle, as well as natural soaps on sale, a book and many crystals/stones. The gentleman at the counter did an amazing job of answering the many questions I had and he knew a lot about many of the subjects/topics the store carries. I felt like I could ask him anything. Anyway though my visit was awesome, a slow day during the week is best to visit so you can take your time browsing, especially if you're like me and don't like people poking into your business and hate being rushed. Since I live kind of far, I always make each visit a special one. I've also had my aura read here and got a 20 page personal report about me and my aura. Ask about that as well as the other reading that they do weekly. I am a customer for life! read more

The staff here is knowledgeable, extremely friendly, and helpful. What you get here is the beauty and nostalgia of an independent bookstore with the outstanding service only a local business can offer. It is truly a hidden gem in Wheaton. Their book selection is impressively thought-out. Their gift options are unique and tasteful. The ambiance is serene and lovely. What a sensory experience - the faint scent of incense and tea, the soothing sounds in the background, the feel of a hardcover book in your hands, and your curiosity awakened from all the knowledge & wisdom contained in these books. This is not your run-of-the-mill book shop. It is the sort of place you will remember fondly whether you cherish it alone or share it with someone special. It also feels great to support an independent business. If you sign up for their e-newsletter or follow them on fb/twitter, you will also get special offers! Definitely worth many visits. read more

I've frequented Quest numerous times in my life. They have a good selection of items i'm in the market to buy, but I don't even need anything hard to find. They have their own parking lot and the store is easy to find. I find that they are a bit expensive and they can do that because not a lot of competition around. read more

Admittedly, I haven't been in for awhile. But I LOVE this place! They have everything! And a great selection of items by/about Paramahansa Yogananda. A great atmosphere, great customer service-just a bit of a challenge to find-but well worth it! read more

I went into this store expecting to find all i needed such as oils and incense and I was very disappointed. The saving grace of this place was the dragons blood extract that I found and the array of books and music they had. I am very interested in different cultures so finding music and books on everything from Buddhism to native American spiritualism was awesome. read more

Quest Bookshop is an excellent resource. The selection of books is wonderful for anyone who has an interest in learning about a wide variety of spiritual matters. The staffers are a knowledgeable and friendly. They have a large selection of stones, etc., but I'm not a New Ager and can't comment on that aspect of the store. The place is a bright spot for the spiritually curious! read more

If you are looking for something new age or if Eastern Spirituality origin, this is a great place to start. They have an extensive collection of stones, all with great descriptions of each on the container. They also have a great printed list of even more stones they've made up and printed out. If they don't have it, they will sometimes offer to order it for you, which is amazing. They have a lot of smudge sticks, meditation items such as labyrinths, singing bowls, and those colorful meditation pillows. Lots of statues from Buddha and Ganesh, to some I've never even heard of. They have a nice selection of books as well. Overall, I enjoyed this place, and have gotten lost in it with the calming music and comforting insence. It's reasonably priced in my opinion as I like instant gratification instead of saving a buck or two buying it online. read more

I've been to this shop a couple times already but finally made a purchase. They have a great jewelry section for special stones and gemstones. I ALMOST got a moonstone sterling silver ring on etsy.com for about $60ish and found a VERY similiar one here for $32. There's a couple other pieces of silver rings and rose quarts rings I have on my wishlist. I think this is the only shop in this area that has special stones/gemstone jewelry. read more

Kinda cool over priced but cool place to check out. I'd go again but not buy gems or crystals they're very over priced but a very cool little shop and fun to check out. Will visit again read more

There is little competition for what used to be termed"New Age" bookstores w/ selections of candles, herbs, crystals...etc. with so many that have closed. Overpriced items you'll find here... bronze or brass hindu themed figures, overpriced crystals..etc. The statues you can buy for far less on Devon Ave in the city..and the crystals you can buy for far less at the crystal markets they have often in chicago land. The help is also very young and not very knowledgeable. But having said that ..the Theosophical gardens are a great place to meditate and relax. read more

i love this store and I have shopped here many times, but today the service was not the best. I have bought rings here before, and today when I asked to see them, the lady opened the case for me and only let me look at one tray of rings at a time, watching right over me as if I was going to steal something (I bought a $45 ring along with other crystals BTW). I have bought rings here multiple times and every other time they have just let me browse through the case on my own, the lady made me feel super uncomfortable. I showed up at 7:30 (30 minutes before closing) and was there for less than 20 minutes, yet the workers reminded me and my friend they were closing soon twice. I was excited to show my friend this store but they made us feel super uncomfortable, so it wasn't a very good first impression for her. I understand that we came in a little late but i spent a lot of money and it's not like we showed up at 7:55. read more
