Cinnamon Boutique

This place has great casual Ts, designer denim and dressy pieces that are good for late nights out. as well as a funeral. (yep true)
It’s a sweet neighborhood spot that you really can shop for almost any occasion at. Emily and Jen who are there a lot are super friendly and quite helpful. They will nicely bring you other suggestions in the fitting room which is great. I am all about service.
I’ve also been there when they have done their October fundraisers for breast cancer, which is really nice and thoughtful. Can’t wait till I have some extra cash to head back… maybe for their next Charity event later this month.

THE CLOTHES
A few finds in a sea of underwhelming garments. Unsure of who their target audience is (they make the Gap look fashion-​forward).
THE SERVICE
Been there lots of times (live nearby) and have had one or two good experiences… however in the majority of experiences, service can be described using one or more of the following adjectives:
— snotty (snooty)
— disinterested
— on-​the-​phone (not an adjective… but true)
THE PRICE $$$
I’m willing to pay boutique prices for stylish clothes. I would argue most of their stuff is not worth the money.
MY HOPES, DREAMS & ASPIRATIONS FOR THIS PLACE
— I hope more of their selection consists of clothes that can’t be found at the mall for a lot less.
— I hope they push the envelope (even a little!) with styles.
— I dream they will be friendly (–er) to every customer, every time.
— I aspire to shop here… and not be disappointed almost every time.
DISCLAIMERS
I’m a mom (shocker, it’s Roscoe village…) so for those reviewers who say it’s ‘mom’ clothes, that depresses me.
Maybe I’m just shopping at the wrong place??? Maybe this is the look (and feel) they are going for.

Really cute independently owned boutique in the heart of Roscoe Village. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and they had tons of cute stuff (primarily classics with a twist). I impulse-​bought a gorgeous black ponte dress that was pretty pricey but too cute to pass up. Expect to pay boutique prices, but no higher than Nordstrom or Neiman’s.

A really cute neighborhood boutique that does a great job at gathering beautiful garments. I recently bought a druzy ring there by a local designer — cannot tell you the compliments I get on that ring!

I love this boutique! They have a great selection of adorable stuff from awesome brands. There’s a good mix of casual and dressier stuff, too. And super cute accessories.
As an added bonus, I tried on not one, but two, maxi dresses here that were long enough for my 5’9″ frame, which is pretty much unheard of. Walked out with one of the dresses, plus an incredibly soft t-​shirt that I’ve been living in lately.

I LOVE this boutique! Its everything I want when I think of great Chicago shopping: amazing clothes, unique accessories, quality pieces that will last more than one season, local designers, independently owned, helpful staff; Cinnamon is just lovely. The style here is more modern classic than ultra trendy, which I love because modern styles last longer. I can always find a timeless dress or denim and almost always have a tough time trying to stay within my budget and not buying everything I try on. That being said, I’m picky and overly critical so its not often that I have such great luck. If I want to walk away with an armload of things, I feel like I’ve struck gold. I have spent plenty of time here, trying a million things on and the staff is always friendly.

I love this shop. Emily the owner is amazing. The atmosphere is very cute and cozy. Emily helped me and my roommate buy hot dresses for our Vegas trip. The clothing selection has something for everyone –very chic and modern. Thanks Emily ;)

The décor and atmosphere? Bravo!
The clothing itself? A real hit or miss.
The stuff here is not bad, nothing breathtaking. Most was kinda just plain. A real shame since I really wanted to like this place.
I did like the short sleeve jacket I found, but there’s nothing here to keep me coming back for more!

Great independently owned neighborhood spot.
They’re constantly getting in new merchandise, so it’s great to keep stopping in. If you don’t find something the first time you shop, try again in a couple of weeks.
Prices range from inexpensive with brands like Tulle & Kenzie to mid-​range with, Three Dots, Notice, BCBG. Some fantastic jean lines include Kasil & Anlo.
Fabulous jewelery selection from local designers (Ulia) as well as bigger names (Chan Luu). Has jewelry trunk shows from Ulia a few times a year which offer endless choices.
Emily, the owner is very helpful and sweet, as is Jen. The space is lovely.
DO NOT PARK IN THE LOT ACROSS THE STREET. YOU WILL BE BOOTED & TOWED. Street parking is e-​z to find.

Well my wife is a fan… not really me. But they do have chairs near the fitting room so I can sit down and relax while she plays fashion show.
Its pretty much a given on a nice spring/​summer weekend we’ll walk around Roscoe Village and will end up in here. She likes the clothing, I think they look good on her.

It breaks my heart to give only two stars to an independently owned boutique. I offer it because of the sweet girl working the store the day I visited.
I won a gift certificate for $ 25 to Cinnamon Boutique some months back. I was so excited to come into the store and see what I could walk out with. Maybe some jewelry or a nice top? I was even willing to offer up my own money if I found something adorable over $ 25.
Unfortunately I could not find ANYTHING in the store that interested me whatsoever. Now that is highly unusual! The racks of clothes were meant for a plain woman. Boring. Ruffles. Frumpy. Maybe mom-​like? Not my style at all!
I walked out with my gift certificate in hand thinking that I may be back someday to try again, but who am I fooling? I probably won’t ever be back.

One of my favorite places to shop. Good variety of brands and price levels. Prefer it over shops in Bucktown!

They always have the cutest things in the window and have inspired a couple of my outfits, but it’s your classic boutique with boutique-​prices. I’ve gone here a few times just to look around and see if there’s anything I love… but most of the time I walk out empty-​handed.
Its pretty small (about 10 racks?) and very seasonal. They carry the normal boutique-​brands: Free people, BCBG, etc. with a few random companies. The store owner is great — she’ll custom order something for you if its not in your size.
Overall, it’s not worth going to if you aren’t already in the area, but you should stop in if you’re having a lazy weekend of window shopping.

I love the clothes here, but it’s a pretty pricey boutique ($ 50 for a long underwear top, yowza!). I could buy everything in this place and I would be happy. It’s a very chic, relaxed style. I don’t come here very often (with the prices), but for the most part everything in here is lovely and the sales associates are helpful. And, per the name «Cinnamon», the store smells like cinnamon.

Cinnamon is far and away my favorite Roscoe Village boutique; Emily, the proprietor of the store, is always friendly and gives great suggestions when you let her know what you’re looking for. There is a great selection of denim at a variety of price ranges and she carries great accessories.
Selfishly, I hope that this place stays a «sort of secret» if for no other reason than she carries Orla Kiely bags and I hate to have the competition… but since I’m all about supporting small businesses in my neighborhood, I had to post.

Big SHINEY RINGS FOR THE HOLIDAYS! If you want to find something sparkly to wear on your fingers then this is a good place to start. I have had a great time finding unique pieces of jewelry and I love the fact that real gem stones are used in almost all of the pieces and the prices are very reasonable. I love big stone rings they have a pretty good selection and will special order sizes for you. I always check out the clothes and if there is anything on the sale rack which is pretty good. The Owner is almost always there and its not a high pressure place. They let you shop and leave you alone but are always happy to answer your questions.

The decision of whether or not to Unilocal this place was really hard because on some level I want to keep it my little secret. Sometimes after work I’ll be walking home from the train and if the day has been less than stellar a little pop into Cinnamon always brightens my spirts. Minus one star for high prices, not ridiculous for boutiques, but a little out of my everyday price range. I love to get a few pieces here though to spice up my otherwise budget concious wardrobe. Also the staff is so friendly and has lots of helpful suggestions about accessories and washing instructions and everything.

This is a great place to shop! The store is small, but has a variety of clothing lines and styles. Pricing is reasonable, and they have a great sale section too! I like that I can find unique pieces that aren’t ridiculously overpriced. They have everything from denim to dresses as well as coats and outerwear. (Maternity too) The store itself is beautifully done, and the service is tremendous. I will definitely be going back :)
