Years ago prior to the Uptown Shop existance was a candy company in Chicago called Lanzi candys. Today the product has been recreated by the Grand Son of the founder Elmo Lanzi and the Uptown Shop is the best place possible to market this famous brand and the people who run this shop are as one of a kind as this candy confection. So friendly and attentive. (Seven stars and more!)

This place is filled with such love and laughter. I loved this store for months before starting to work here myself. My work family is full of the nicest and caring women out there. Whatever you need, we got it. We have been open for fifteen holiday seasons and we plan to be open for many more to come. I am so thrilled and happy to have found a home here.

I love this shop..it has the most unique gifts. Everyone is always so friendly and happy to help you. You can tell the employees love working there. I really enjoy shopping there..This shop is a must to see!

This is the best place if you want to find something for someone who you think has everything already! So many unique items, awesome candy selections and constantly new merchandise plus every holiday must haves. I first visited for a baptism gift for my nephew after going four or five other places with no luck. The Uptown shop had several special gifts to choose from for the occasion. Now, I go regularly to find the outfit noone else will have, the perfect card for any occasion or a housewarming present I know wont be returned! Check it out - I promise you will love it!

Everyone is always so friendly and happy to help you. Great selection of gifts for any occasion!

I have a memory of a candy that I always ate at my grandparents’ house as a child, but the name of that candy had been lost to me over the years. I described it to so many people, and no one seemed to know what I was talking about. Imagine my elation when I discovered that it was not only recreated by a fellow fan, but was being sold at a shop in Elmhurst! Lanzi’s Cashew Nut and Rice Crunch, you brought back wonderful memories, and Uptown Shop, you brought back a little known masterpiece. Thank you. And yes, the shop itself is wonderful and friendly as well.

The Uptown Shop has such a wonderful selection of items in all price ranges. Customer Service fabulous. Anytime I need a gift for someone special(or myself), I shop there!

You all have wonderful customer service and great jewelry options. I will be back soon. ALSO thank you so much to Molly for the assistance.

A very cute shop- if you are looking for a nice gift for someone. They have an extensive collection of Trollbeads as well! Great Customer service.

Awful customer service when I went in. Just wanted to buy something for my grandmother and everything was just tacky and cheap. No one tried to help me, and tried to grab the managers attention. Very rude manager. Over priced items as well. Just very unprofessional the way she spoke to me.

Most of the gifts available here was beautiful. And this is the best gift shop in this area.Excellent customer service.

Unique. Store. customer friendly.
