Since my husband is Irish, we end up going to Ireland very often (twice last year) so I tend to buy "Irish" things in Ireland.
However, whenever I am at a loss for something to buy my brother, I go in here and get him a shirt. The owner has made a few designs himself, and there are some great "beer" shirts.
I have a friend who just loves this shop.

I love this place (and not just because I went to school with one of the owner's sons). The food is terrific, and the ambience is wonderful.
But really I just love their gnocchi. It's served with a fantastic vodka/tomato sauce. The pasta, though, is just so light and delicate. A true master piece.
Delicious, and I usually don't like going out for Italian (I prefer to just make it myself).

My real estate agent gave me the name of these guys. We had to have some work done right when we moved into our house.
I called a few other places to get estimates, and Exceptional came in under the others, and they were able to come out the fastest.
One of the owners did the work at my place. He was so nice. What impressed me the most was not only the quality of the work, but also the way in which they cleaned up after themselves. You literally couldn't tell they had been here, and let me tell you, they had to cut a giant hole out of my wall! They didn't even leave a bit of dust or dirt behind. I was so impressed.

I love meeting one of my girlfriends at this place, especially in the winter. They have a fantastic fireplace, with comfy seating around it. Sometimes it's hard to get a seat because this place is always so packed, but unlike the local Starbucks, I don't mind the crowd so much. It's cozy and comfortable even when crowded.
The tea and coffee is great.

This is one of those upscale breakfast places that is a great place to meet some friends for breakfast. In fact, during the week, you will find lots of women eating here.
The food and service are both very good.
It's conveniently located at Danada, so best plan on doing some shopping afterwards.

It's not always the cheapest, but they have a wonderful selection of appliances and the sales people are very knowledgeable.
They also tend to do very good no-interest credit, so for the big purchases, you don't have to go to Sears or another big store for good finance deals.
This is where I'm buying my appliances. No contest. You should see some of the ovens they have in there!

I am not a fan of this place. For starters, when it first opened, my husband and I stopped in on a Saturday afternoon. It was about 4, and we thought, let's check out the new pub and have a drink.
My husband is Irish, btw, and loves a good Guinnese at the pub from time to time.
We were immediately told that we couldn't sit at a booth because the dinner rush was going to start, but if wanted to have a drink, we could have it at the bar. Mind you, there really isn't much of a "bar" in this place.
I don't know if the owner actually knows much about Irish Pubs, but this surely isn't one. People drink at Irish pubs, and they eat pub food. This place really doesn't serve Irish food, and they don't like it if you want to drink.
Silly them, we most likely would have had a few beers and then decided to eat there. But because they told us we couldn't sit at a booth, they lost our business forever.
I've heard the food isn't very good too. In fact, I don't know ANYONE who actually likes this place.

There is a joke in Glen Ellyn about all the restaurants, but this just isn't yet another restaurant.
I have a friend who craves their crab. We like to joke that she has become an addict.
I find it a bit pricey, but it is typical Glen Ellyn. Not my kind of place, and the cost of booze is truly shocking, but for what it is, it is very good.

If you want help buying a camera or any other camera supplies, this is the place to go. They are very knowledgeable and more than happy to take the time to help you select the kind of camera you need.
They do a great job developing pictures, plus they have a computer so that you can print out pics for yourself too.
