I'm sad to say I was quite disappointed when first entering the store, with the window display, to the lack of inventory. But I need to keep in mind that the lack of inventory is probably due to the issues with Covid. I have never not been able to find something to purchase at a Swedish store! I graduated from North Park and shopped at the Sweden Shop as a student and after. From their inventory, to their beautiful window displays, to the wrapping of gifts with a cute ribbon, and let's not forget the Marzipan cake during Homecoming, this was a top notch store! I miss it.

I love the Sweden Shop. I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and my son and family live in Chicago just 2 blocks away from the shop. I love the people who work there. They are super nice and friendly. Plus the shop has many lovely things to chose from. Each time I visit my son I visit the Sweden Shop at least twice if not more. Sometimes to just browse and other times to buy the chocolate. I've also purchased fabric, a purse, jewelry and kitchen items. I've always been very happy. One of my treats when I visit Chicago.

A lovely little shop with lovely things. Not a place to go for cheap things but you'll find lots of beauty. They have books, crafts, a large children's section, housewares, a wide selection of cards, fabric. They recently expanded their food and kitchenware section. It's a feast for the eyes. The staff are always friendly. A great place to go when waiting on your table at Tre Kronor.

What an awesome place! Great kitchen wares & seasonal decorations! Beautiful, high quality fabrics and children's books and toys! There was also a selection of shoes, but since I wasn't in the market for shoes, I didn't pay much attention to them. The folks who work there were very friendly and helpful. This is one of the places I love to go to when I visit Chicago.

Beautiful Scandinavian gifts! Any you can go to Tre Kronor across the street for Scandinavian food when you’re done shopping. A wonderful experience any time of year!

  • john myron

An interesting mixture of old country products that are a good ambassador for Sweden. The shop also makes a good bulletin board for local Swedish styled events.

Love all the design items! My package was sent fast, well packed together with a personal note which had made day “mysigare”.

  • Tim McNaughton

This used to be a premium store for Swedish novelties and goods. Now has a very limited offering and not very well presented.
