    Shirt & Books

    Beautiful shop. I love the selection of books & the art on the walls. It is a very welcoming shop with welcoming staff. I love the quality of the shirts & the softness of the fabric.

    Came here last night for the first time and it felt like I was back in my old neighborhood of Chicago/Pilsen. Many great finds and cositas muy lindas que representa a mi cultura mexicana. I'll be visiting soon!

    Came here to fil a podcast a few days ago! I love this business, their books are on woke topics and they have cute household items and clothing for sale as well! Good vibes if you wanna get back into touch with your latin heritage

    They have good books

    So you fall in love with a brash yung thing. Maybe a forgettable someone, but lately I have worked late almost every night; so I guess I have laid my hand and folded an empty man. People from the street and neighborhood know your name. They wink at me as I walk in and imply I should know the same. Something is not right but the imply is that I will know your name, at least some day. I ain't scared and I won't be then. Not now, not then, not any day. Some might say you're trouble and I can see what they mean. "Run for your life, white boy" Well, if I was ever scared of trouble I ain't now. They say you are trouble, wink their eyes, and look in mine. But your crooked smile and my crooked minds eye. If I ever see two crooks, it is you and me. Always, you and me in my mind's eye.

    We came to this store because my sister had been following them on Instagram and wanted to make a few purchases. Customer service was horrible. The female at the cash register appeared irritated doing her job. She asked us if we needed help once, but once my sister inquired about specific merchandise, she appeared annoyed. Based on the reviews of other, it appears that customer service is not one of forté. The store has some nice merchandise, but the atmosphere and tone set by the staff overshadows everything.

    Sumi's is an absolutely charming gift store located on Vemont, just a few stores down from the…read moreFigaro Bistrot. The owner, Sumi, keeps a large, but very well curated shop. You will find a wide range of gifts, at very reasonable prices. Some of these items include small ceramic pieces such as vases and small dishes suitable for stashing jewelry or other trinkets, crocheted animals and artistically designed maps of cities. I have also enjoyed the handmade soaps and other lovely, fragrant body products. I have often admired the jewelry on display, made by artisans running small businesses. There are a number of very interesting pieces: a gold/silver duo-tone necklace recently caught my eye and there are a number of pieces using labradorite and other less "mainstream" stones. As someone who write people frequently via snail mail, I have come to rely on Sumi's as one of my primary supplier of cards. Regardless of when I shop, I always find something that either a) cracks me up or b) is perfect for a message to a particular friend of family member. You will also find cute stuffed animals, scarves, posters, naughty cross-stitch patterns and more. Sumi's has a gift for just about anyone. Sumi and the other staff members have been universally friendly and willing to chat about various pieces they carry in the store. If you are shopping for presents, I would highly recommend a visit.

    Very rude owner. The way I saw her talk to people was so out of line. Just because you dont…read moreunderstand the laws in this country doesn't mean you have to treat others the way that you did.
