Lollie

I don’t have kids of my own but every time I walk in, I want to buy something for every kid I know. It isn’t just a kids store, Lollie has so many beautifully made things & things you can’t find just anywhere. The store is adorable, everyone is so helpful & I love supporting a great local shop that has been around for over 10 years.

Great customer service and amazing toys for kids! Happy I stopped in, the women working was so helpful with suggestions. Recommend this place!

So i decided to start writing my favorites of evanston.
The best store for childrens clothing is hands down Lollie. The owner has great taste, service and product. They don’t pressure you into buying anything either which is a huge plus since I hate being stalked… small boutiques usually annoy the heck out of me because they’re always on top of you.
I also like the fact that the owner is involved with the community and she’s always there to help. She has a heart for the neighborhood which is so valuable if you believe in the neighborhood ideal.

Great selection! We stopped by quickly to buy a present and found lots of options.

Cute baby clothes. Poor customer service.
I stopped by Lollie for a gift for a baby shower as I’ve been curious about the store and that particular day they had a «20% off sign» outside the store. When I walked in I was again informed that everything in the store was 20% off. Great. I found three tees and 2 shorts from the sale section. I proceeded to the check out where the owner? rang me up and took my payment. I asked for a gift receipt whereby I was promptly told that the items that were on sale are FINAL sale and that I couldn’t get a gift receipt. I explained that that information would have been good to know ahead of time or perhaps have a sign posted. She apologized but said there was nothing she could do because she already rang me up. I looked at my receipt. The 20% off was not taken as stated when I entered the store. When I asked about the 20% off I was told that the 20% off only applies to full priced items. I reminded the owner of her words and the ’20% off” sign outside the store. Apparently, when she said ‘entire store’ it did not mean the entire store. An all together poor experience. I wouldn’t go back.

When it comes to shopping for my little boy, I’m a Janie and Jack kinda mom, so I’d say Lollie is comparable. Not every mom wants their kid in stripes and jeans, so this kid’s boutique is a great place to find unique clothes for boys.
They also sell books, items for newborns and organic skincare for both moms/​kids among other things. It’s a nice place to get unique gifts. Some items are on the high end but they are of good quality and there are great sales.
The mother-​daughter team that owns this store take special care with customers to see that you find everything you need. I also like how they have different store events such as the one I attended which was a story and craft pertaining to prepping kids for going back to school.
Lollie is definitely a reason for me to make the 30 minute drive up to Evanston.

Really unique everyday and special occasion clothing for girls — but the real reason I love Lollie is because of the boys clothes. Great variety of fun, yet boyish styles that are perfect for my rough-​and-​tumble 4 year old.

Lollie is a great place to find unique clothes, gifts & books. I love finding adorable pieces & outfits that I don’t find anywhere else for my children. I enjoy working with the owners & love the artistic environment.

Lollie’s is a great children’s clothing shop, and has a wonderful selection of items that you won’t find elsewhere. I always go here when I need a gift for a baby or toddler, and I know that the owner will provide me with guidance for age/​size, etc. And, in addition to clothes, they’ve got wonderful unique books!
