I visited with a friend while going to the Mall for lunch, we are both tea enthusiasts and I unfortunately live in Puerto Rico and don't have stores like these home. The store is bright, excellently stocked and organized. We were warmly greeted by Laura and Peggy. They alternatively explained the layout or would join us at the display highlighting different teas. Found the prices to be quite reasonable. Would definitely return.

Illinois Nut & Candy

great service, products, and prices My favourite feature is the large baking supplies section. You can purchase the exact amount you need of ingredients and decorations -- simple and fancy sprinkles, nonpareils, sanding sugar, chocolate chips, lentls, nuts, dried fruits, etc. Perfect for the kosher home baker and candy maker. free parking in their lot

Dave's Down to Earth Rock Shop

Since 1970, Dave's has been providing "Art Created by Mother Nature", to both novice and professional collectors of unique fossils, mineral specimens, Native American Artistry and semi-precious stones, set in fine sterling silver. At Dave's, you'll never be a a loss when looking for that unique gift item for yourself or another. Come on in and check out our "Free Prehistoric Life Museum"!!! It's the largest private collection on display to the general public, and totally free. See you soon!!!

Dave's has been around for awhile; I first visited before my oldest was born, now I take her kids there. Just a great place, full of wonderful finds at all price levels. My grandsons have bought many small treasure there, and I have picked up some neat items over the years, too. This is as much a natural history museum as a store, and its staff is always welcoming and ready to answer a kid's question. A must place to visit in Evanston!

Georgia Nut Company Outlet Store

Reviewed By Allen21096 - Chicago, United States

This George Nut Company Outlet Store is located three blocks north of Touhy Ave. on Linder Ave. There is parking in front. Though they have a lot of candy packaged up, honestly, it seemed a bit more expensive for the amounts. They have a large selection of nuts. They also have old-fashioned candy, think satellite wafers, wax bottle fruit juices, candy buttons and more. We picked out a number of vintage candies for Halloween for my grandkids, to give them an idea what life was like 60 years ago with those candies. The staff was efficient and friendly. I'm sure that there are some good buys, here, you just have to know your prices.
