Babydreams

A five-​star curated collection, mixed with upscale pricing, and customer service that’s A-​OK.
A friend/​co-​worker just had kiddo #3, and I couldn’t wait to stop in for a gift. The challenge is that she has absolutely everything, and probably more than one of everything to be honest. I had a set budget and walked in with a couple ideas in mind. I immediately asked the gal at the front desk for help. She had exactly what I was looking for – the cutest set of little baby socks! Everyone can use socks, because I remember my kiddos kicking them off all the time. Polka dots, argyle, stripes, etc. These weren’t just any socks. I also picked up a token hair barrette for her daughter.
They have cute handmade baby hats of all sorts. An adorable book collection, gift baskets, and baby blankets with the ability to personalize. And soooo much more.
There is something for every baby here. And, when they become toddlers, just head on over to Toddler! I don’t know if they’re owned by the same people, but Highland Park has some great kid shopping options.
Now, about the chandelier. They have the most adorable multi-​colored glass chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the back. Perfect for any little girl’s room.
Babydreams is high quality, you get what you pay for, and you’ll leave feeling proud of your purchase. For those who mention customer service in their review, the owners are helpful and know their merchandise well. Just don’t expect overly bubbly or unnecessary conversation. For those who like to be left to look around, you’ll be appreciative.

I agree with previous posters about the terrible and just plain rude customer service. I went in looking for a quick gift to bring to some friends who had just had a baby. Had I not been in a rush, with no time to stop somewhere else, I most definitely would not have given this place my money. I absolutely will not be back. Their loss, as I loved a lot of the stuff they carry, and would have been a regular customer for clothes & toys for my son and other friends having babies.

Horrible horrible horrible customer service!!! I have been in several times where no one even acknowledges the fact I’m shopping there. The sales people are rude and very pushy too. It’s really a shame, as I love the items they carry, however in my opinion, they don’t deserve my business! I wish I could rate them 5 stars…

I am beyond disgusted by the way this business is run. The blonde sales person is ALWAYS trying to up-​sell you and the customer does NOT always come first. I won’t get into details because I don’t have the time or patience, but wanted anyone and everyone to know that they are better off going to Sprout or Bloomingdales.

If you value good customer service, don’t go to this store. From the moment we walked in, to the moment we left, neither of the 2 women working there said much of anything to us (one of them muttered «Hello» while never looking up from writing something). We didn’t get offered any help at all. I’m not going to make assumptions as to why they chose not to be as helpful to us as other Unilocal reviewers. It was just plain bad. Keep your money, and walk down Central Ave. to Sprout Kids, where the service is much better.

I’m thrilled yet bummed that Babydreams doesn’t carry clothes beyond 2T. Thrilled because I”m saving money since my daughter probably won’t be in a 2T for much longer. And bummed because I want to buy everything in here for my daughter!
While the girl clothes here at Babydreams are beyond cute, they are one of the few stores that carries some pretty nice stuff for boys as well. Fortunately, my little boy has a few more years to fit into the clothes at babydreams… or actually maybe just a few more months judging by the size of his enormous thighs.
On my first trip here I picked up just nano shirt for my stylish littl eman, but will most definitely be back to do some more shopping soon. Most of the store is filled with trendy clothing, but they also have some cute nursery decorations as well.
The women who work here are also extremely personable, which makes shopping here even more enjoyable. Now if only those personable women would add some bigger toddler sizes so it could be a one stop shop for both kids!

I had the opportunity to stumble on this cute baby boutique. It is absolutely adorable and the service is great. What I really like about Babydreams is that everything is so custom. They have a variety of baby clothes and toys that you can’t find at huge corporate baby stores. I bought my friend’s baby a sweater jacket and they personalize it with a his stitched name! I also got him a cute toddler AC/​DC shirt! I have never seen anything like that before.
If you are looking for tons of cute and unique items, I recommend Babydreams… you won’t regret it!

We are huge, huge Babydreams fans. That’s right. HUGE. As a matter of fact, our son is wearing a t-​shirt from the store at this very moment. We try to head up to this store every single time we’re in the area just to check things out. Yes, they’re expensive… But that’s what happens when you walk into a specialty store of any kind. Just look at the prices in some of the other stores on the same street! If you think $ 30 for a 12 month t-​shirt is crazy, I’ll argue that $ 30 for one placemat is just as insane — and that’s why I’m giving the store 4 stars versus 5. But I digress…
The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, especially when you’re registering, and they’re willing to go above and beyond to make sure that they have what you’re looking for. If they’re out of your size, they’ll offer to order it for you. If you talk about something that you’ve seen somewhere else, they’ll do their best to find it. That’s just the way they work.
Great job, Babydreams!

I was lucky enough to wander into Babydreams the other day while they were still putting on the finishing touches to the new store. They had their doors open for curious customers to peek in and see their wonderful collection of baby clothes. The clothes are pricey (especially for stuff babies will grow out of quickly), but are totally worth it and would make adorable gifts. Definitely a kid friendly atmosphere with cute toys for your child to play with while you shop. Sizes only go up to 24 months.
