Looking for a unique Chicago souvenir? Making a custom hat at Alice & Wonder was one of my favorite experiences during my trip! Instead of bringing home a typical souvenir, I got to create something completely personalized and unique to me. The process was fun, the staff was incredibly helpful, and there were so many options to make the hat your own. I loved leaving with not only a custom hat I'll actually wear, but also a fun memory from my trip. read more

Love love love this store. Found it on TikTok and it was so cute. Definitely recommend to go early because there is a long wait to check in for the hat experience. If you go just for shopping minimal wait depending how crowded the store is! It got so busy inside. Made a hat and cute accessories! Pretty pricey but if you like hats definitely a good souvenir. read more

We were only in Chicago for 3 days and we managed to come to Alice & Wonder twice. Before our trip my friend Heidi had been sending us Tiktoks about going to Alice & Wonder to get our souvenir hat, you actually pick a hat of your choice and add some cute little patches, so I was really excited even though I cannot wear hats, my head size does not allow for it unfortunately. But I was able to get a couple of patches that I'm going to patch on to my book tote. The team here was super sweet, they make sure you like the placement of the patches before pressing them on, my friends made some really cute hats that I'll have to get photos. I ended up getting a hotdog patch that said Chicago and a spicy patch, a pair of socks and magnet, they give you cute little tote bags so you can shop throughout the city and add more to it. Really good value I think, they did say I can press it onto my beret at home instead so I might do that with one of the patches. Definitely a must check out, this location was a 10 minute walk from our hotel but there are a couple of other locations as well. read more

Stopped here on our final day of our girls trip to make a take home souvenir and was very pleased with our experience. We went as soon as they opened around 11am so there was no wait. They have an expansive array of patches and hats to choose from. You are able to try on the hats and take your patches before they are pressed on. Staff was friendly and provided great recommendations of other areas to visit. The store was clean and organized. read more

Wifey copped a hat here while in Chicago. The store was super busy with customers. The service by team members was great, they work as a team really well. The press on patches to apply to hats were all six dollars a piece. Cool store to visit while exploring Chicago. read more

This store was cute . I expected to pay a pretty penny based on the research that I heard about the store so I knew what to expect. When entering there is someone there to greet you at the front door. The store isn't that big but it's enough room to get what you need to get done. They have a fitting room downstairs. There's a big variety of hats to choose from along with the iron on patches. My one gripe is that I just wish there were a bit more variety with the iron on patches. read more

IF I COULD GIVE 6 STARS I WOULD! The staff, the creativity behind the TikTok moment that brought me to them, etc. etc. Nothing was missed in this store. I would love to come back to Alice & Wonder when I return to the city. The hat creativity was endless within myself but nearly doubled when I was speaking to the cashier. She was great! & even left me with great food recommendations. Loveddd this location! read more

This hat bar is truly a unique concept. Whether you are a Chicago local or have traveled afar these hats make great gifts and souvenirs. The store was super crowded and the line was a bit hard to navigate. Eventually, one line becomes two. One line is to choose your hat style and color. The other line is to customize your hat by choosing patches that reflect your personality. As the line moved along, my friend and I began conversations with others. We met people from Atlanta, Ohio, San Francisco, South Carolina and of course, Chicago. Most said they heard of Alice and Wonder from Tick Tock and were excited to visit. The employees all had very good energy and were happy to help or answer any questions. My patches included a smily face, pink heart, espresso martini, cherries and a sign that says 'always a good idea.' This store also sells t-shirts, sweat shirts, dresses, baby clothes, and posters. Hats are 32$ and each patch starts at 6$ each. read more

Wayyy too crowded to shop in. I understand that the main draw is the hat bar but crowd for that took over the store so we could even walk in to look at other items. I wanted to grab a few gifts (not hats) and we walked in and right back out cuz there was not room to walk or browse, let alone make it to a register to pay. A little disappointed because I saw some cute stuff I wanted online. read more

Alice & Wonder has become a must stop when in Chicago. They always have a selection of boutique style clothing and Chicago sweaters and shirts that are nice quality. They now have a hat bar where you pick a hat, then they have a giant selection of patches where you design the hat and then they use a machine to adhere the patches while you wait. My daughter and I had super fun designing hats. A very short walk off of Michigan Ave and makes for a collectible souvenir. read more

I would say this is a nice establishment but be aware it's really small. I probably should've went as soon as they opened to beat the foot traffic. Because it was so tight I dont feel like I truly got to think about what I put on my hat. Everyone was just scattering around the hats and the patches. The hats are about 30 bucks & each patch is 6 dollars each. I do think thats a bit pricey honestly but overall worth it. As I checked out the staff was great, make sure you have card because they do not take cash. read more

Alice and Wonder was recommended to me by a local as a place where I could get cute Chicago keepsakes that didn't scream souvenir shop. Locals come here for woman's clothing and for hats. Apparently they have cute Chicago themed patterns that you can custom embroider on hats that they sell. At least twenty people were in line for this process and it looked really cool. I was able to find some things to bring home for my wife. Got some cute Chicago socks and a hair clip. When they rang me up, they nicely wrapped it and put it in a cute Chicago tote. Totes awesome. My wife will love that. This can be found on state street less than a half mile from the river read more

Alice & Wonder is a Chicago attraction that is trending all over social media. I had this on my itinerary for my Chitown trip. Upon arrival last Saturday, the shop was p-a-c-k-e-d! By the entrance, there was an employee checking in guests for the hat patching. They instructed us to scan the QR code & then we'd be added to the wait list. We were at least 40th in line. We had another reservation booked that conflicted, so we canceled our place in line & decided to go on Sunday morning around 11AM. We got added to the list & were 18th in line. In the meantime we went to Ralph's coffee. Once we were 8th in line, we made our way back. When we got there, there were several young ladies in the patch section which was roped off. It was very crowded. There was a decent variety of hats to choose from. The patch options could've been better, I did like the Chicago options though. The process to tape the patches on the hat was fun to do. Very arts & crafty. The cost for the hat & patches was a little costly, but, since it was the store's 10th anniversary, there was a 15% discount. The cost for my hat & patches was about $65. This was a fun activity to do & my hat is a nice personalized souvenir of my Chicago trip. My complaints would be the long wait times, & the cost. read more

Too cute of a store!! I was so impressed at all they had to offer. Such adorable Chicago items that'd make great housewarming gifts. Boutique prices but meh it's so cute that you justify it easily read more

Cute clothing store with fashionable pieces and all things Chicago. Stopped by while visiting home for their hat patch bar. They have several Chicago hats and patches to choose from. You can place the patches on the hat yourself or allow them to place it for you. However, you aren't pressing the hat yourself, they will press it. Customer service was amazing! I was assisted every step of the way and didnt feel rushed. Since I missed home so much, I almost left with the whole store but settled for socks and patched hat. I did suggest they add 773 patches to the bar. read more
