Isadora Popper is two essentially two gorgeous shops in one. In the front is a wonderful selection of home goods, paper goods, decor, etc. Their offerings are beautifully curated and well-displayed (no clutter and easy to browse). I was especially delighted to see some of my favorite paper brands, Kokuyo and Travelers Notebooks -- it's rare to find them in stores!
The back half of this shop is (if this is possible) even better: a beautifully stocked yarn shop! As a yarn shop worker myself and a "yarn tourist," I can confidently say that Isadora Popper's selection and set-up is among the best I've seen anywhere in the world. They carry primarily natural fibers, including well-known standards, hand-dyed and local yarns, and custom store-exclusive yarns. Their accessories and bag selections were excellent, and I will definitely be ordering one of their leather project bags!
Service was exactly what it should be at a LYS: knowledgeable, warm, and kind. There was a friendly group of knitters/crocheters sitting around the table in the back: everyone was welcoming and the shop is clearly loved by its regulars. I wish I lived nearby so I could come often!
I was frankly blown away by the quality and selection of this shop. Their online offerings are excellent, too, and I will be ordering from them when I can't come by the store in...

There is a very large yarn supply, plants, unique gifts for children, “clean” laundry detergent, wonderful kitchen items, and unique stationary. They also have the best homemade ice cream in many unusual and delicious flavors- in small “ one person “ serving sizes, or a little larger if desired! I love to go in to browse and see all the different things and just enjoy a very pleasant visit!! Well done, Isadora Popper-keep it going and thank you.

Read moreAlthough we live in Chicago, I’ve been visiting Isadora Popper since it opened whenever I’m in town, and it is such an inspiring, creative space. Each time I’m in they have added more to their selection! I love the culinary section with delicious preserves, cookbooks, cooking utensils and tableware; with the stationary, writing utensil and notebook section being another favorite spot. Amazingly curated, I find so many things to take home every time I’m there! I’ll be back again and again....
