“This place is awesome! It is the best hidden secret of a bead store in Chicago for gems and other beads. Truly gorgeous products (all kinds of real gemstones that I wanted to buy them all) and Anna and Diana are lovely people who are so helpful and kind. Glad to support this woman owned business. Love love love their new space and look forward to going back! This special shop should not be missed!”
“I love the vibe of the studio & Carlos is the best! He is very knowledgeable about crystals & he's very nice. I highly recommend paying a visit to Inner Arts Studio!”
“I'm a huge fan of Fair Game, and try to spend money supporting my friendly local game store whenever possible.As a Dungeon Master for my D&D group there's a great array of official content, third party sources, and minis for my game. As a parent, I'm thrilled by their large selection of games age appropriate for my 3 year old. Every time I walk in their staff are friendly and helpful, and it's an excellent environment for the kids in the area.Can't say enough positive things about the place!”
“I write this review on the 1 year anniversary of the shop's opening. The brothers that run the store set up a welcoming atmosphere for guests, they are just good conversationalists. Over my many trips to The Horror House, I have picked up monster related art, t-shirts, patches, figures and even coffee.And the coffee and all the other stuff, is so so good. They cover all the eras of horror from classic Universal Monsters, to modern horror and they cover all the genres from horror comedies to slashers.Here is my youtube review on this excellent spot youtube.com/live/80iz3Wa…”
“Great and unique place for train nerds. It sort of has the feeling of an old curio shop in which the you expect the merchandise to come to life. The second floor looks like it was once a shopkeeper's apartment. The owner has lots and lots of HO freight cars and engines. Walthers seemed to be his preffered brand but he has plenty of other brands too and if you dig through you will find some gems. I found two Rivarossi passenger cars for just 15 dollars each. He gets collections in so it's worth going back regularly. He doesn't seem to carry much in the way of track, scenery and accessories but he does have some. There were some other gauges available too.”
“Been a big fan of heroes for years for a lot of different reasons. The owner is fantastic and their communication with social media responses is very quick. It's very convenient to know what's in stock and to get timely answers. Most hobby places I've dealt with in the past are very slow when it comes to responses/non existent. Outside of great communication, owner/staff are very friendly and overall fantastic people to deal with. To the fun stuff - it's a classic card shop with a great selection and cool memorabilia as well. They also do very fun raffles as well which is extra reason to continue to spend money on your hobby :) Keep up the great work!”
“A classic magic shop. Small space with big inventory, ranging from sponge balls and card decks to parlor-size illusions. The best part is contact with the sales people, who are happy to demonstrate and answer questions about tricks that interest you. You won't get that from buying anywhere online!That said, we asked on two different occasions about specific tricks that turned out to be out of stock. They just said that bluntly, with no follow-up such as when these might be restocked or whether they'd even been reordered.”
“I ordered a longtime retired Poppy Parker doll and got her for a reasonable price. They’re very helpful with customer service and my doll arrived pretty quickly to Texas.I am definitely going to be doing more doll shopping here in the future.”
“found a tree that made me cry because it looked like my moms. The salesgirl, asked if I was ok and I told her it was my 1st christmas with out my mom and her tree was so old, but this was identical. She left and came back with kleenex n atree box, helped me take off ornaments and pack tree nicely in boxBless that sweet kind young lady.”
“Steven is very knowledgeable about the trading cards and provides great customer service. I've been buying supplies and cards from him for years and was never disappointed. Highly recommend.”
“Knights Edge is phenomenal! Not only are there many stellar pieces to look at, but Norman and Miriam go above and beyond by making this store an immersive experience. They were also very kind and helpful and answered all our questions (since we were first time purchasers).Again, I highly highly highly recommend this store, especially if you want to buy unique products/gifts and have fun while doing it!”
“Been all over the Chicagoland area in and out of sports cards/memorabilia shops throughout the years. I'll say Elite Cards is top of the line. When I say "top of the line", I mean both Ronnie & Gary buy-sell-trade with integrity. Wealth of knowledge in the industry. It's not just about making a "sale" with these guys, they're in it because they love what they do! A lot of shops I've been too, I've always picked up on the used car salesman vibe but not here. Straight shooters, no sugar coating, and or over inflating value on products they have. Simply tell them what you're trying to accomplish and they'll help you get there!Thanks guys!”
“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 meet Captain Steve today the owner!! Him and his son Tom run the business.. if you're looking for anything vintage baseball cards, records, old model cars, and many many more things, you should stop by and check it out. Plenty of parking on the side street right next to the shop. Steve and Tom are friendly nice and not pushy owners!”
“Five stars!My 8 year old son is a sports fan, and while on a trip to Chicago his one request was to find cool new sports cards.The experience at Tim’s lived up to all expectations, and Tim himself patiently helped Jake find the perfect cards. Here’s to a wonderful small business, and making our day in Chicago very special! (Tim - he got Justin Fields in the pack you recommended!!!). ?Jake and Lindsay Odvody”
“Best GameStop I’ve ever been to. Deonte is a lovely gentlemen, and always accommodates me. He’s a nice guy — he knows the products and he’s personable, and kind to customers — even little ones!”

“Awesome experience and owner! I brought my eight-year-old and five-year-old into the shop to teach them about coins, and he gave them a few free coins and took some of his time to teach my boys. Thank you very much for this great experience. Thank you for the good pricing too.”
“Awesome toy and collectibles store near Wrigley Field. If you're ever in the area or going to a game, you gotta stop in and check this place out. Tons of action figures, Funko pops, collectibles and more. Super friendly guy behind the counter who took great care of me. This place maximizes every inch of their store and wastes no space at all. Could have spent a lot of time combing thru everything.”
“I was looking for pleated banner flags for my deck. I wanted quality flags, preferably made in the USA. Donna in the office of Liberty Flags helped me find the perfect size for my deck. And they arrived in time for the 4th of July! Thank you, Liberty Flags!”
“Hello there my daughter draws real good and I wanted to surprise her and get her a art supplies the whole set looked at plenty of stores and nothing then went to Michaels and that was it so much stuff omg loved it found everything right there and more..”
“This is a great store - always well stocked and clean. The staff are nice. Tonight I forgot my wallet and the person working the front, Anita, was very kind and helped me set up my apple pay on my phone. There wasn’t a line and I’m sure she had other stuff going on to close the store, but she took the time to walk me through the process so that I could go home with my matte varnish :)Thank you Anita!”
“great place to buy toys reminds me of old kb toys from back in the 90's and 2000's i bought a plush bulldog and a plush basset hound and some 1/24th scale diecasts from b zone toys”
“Grant is awesome! There are tons of comics and he knew exactly what boxes to look for when you ask him what you are looking for. Be prepared to stay for more than an hour and bring your money. It's worth the trip!”
“Michaels currently has some great sales! Buy one holiday ribbon get THREE free! 75% of nutcrackers and they had several ethnic ones!I'm unsure even the sale ends but go check go check them out! They also had 50%off all Fall decor!”
“I have been going to GameStops for years. The store managers are always helpful and you can always find something to buy. I recommend getting the pro membership and coming back evy month to buy something. It pays for itself in 3 visits.”

“Marty helped me very much during my visit he is a great guy and very nice and knowledgeable person, this is a small store but somehow they have everything you need, I came into the store looking for a 1/35 Panzer model (nothing special) and I came out with a Panzer IV ausf.G and a lot of tools to start my new model. I’ll be coming back soon for all the paints and extra stuff I’ll need in the near future.”
“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 ?”

“I stopped by today for the first time in a decade and I had a blast with two young folks with autism who delight in all things train-themed, especially Thomas the Tank Engine! There is a very cool interactive model train in the center of the store, and then aisles of items related to trains- including art supplies, craft kids, books... and then also Legos and my favorite brand, Schleich! Fabulous Bruder trucks, too. I didn't interact with the staff, but they were present and busy helping all the customers. I also met several other train enthusiasts who were happy to share their love to Thomas the Tank Engine with my group and that was so special to me! Free street parking. McDonalds is right across the street so we stopped for milkshakes after the train store and it was the perfect afternoon!!”
