The Wicker Park Secret Agent Supply Co.

Such a cool little store! We went in and found out it’s a non profit for helping kids with writing and that’s so neat. Lots of fun little things in it. Got this fun puzzle there, and it was a fun place to visit!

Not worth your time. Not only it is mostly a book store, but even the books that they have are not worth even looking through them. The laziest way to portray the «secret agent» store and the most boring place I’ve ever seen in my life. On the other hand, the record store next door is extremely good. Glad we ended up going there after such a disappointment.

It’s a small store, but very big inside. You cannot be disappointed to this store. There are various kinds of clothing, bags, shoes, etc. They are also offering books. They are very friendly and accommodating. Their attitude is very approachable. The smell upon entering is like a freshly opened shirts. The place is clean and organized. The parking space is not so crowded. I will definitely recommend this to my friends and relatives, especially those who love books, buy clothing, shoes and accessories. I just bought some clothes, shoes, a bag and some books. Thank you very much for your excellent service.

Their mission is awesome and we love to support, there's books written by the youngsters in their program! All the awesomeness aside, this always a fun spot to visit and get cool gifts or just explore the imagination.

This was a Chicago vacation high point for my family. It has so many unique finds and great stuff to inspire imagination. Everyone found something that they loved. Even better was the knowledge that our purchases were supporting education. I shared pictures of us with our silly purchases.

It's a cute little spy-themed shop with fun toys for kids. It's not worth a special trip, but do check it out if you are in the neighborhood.

The boring store is awesome. McSweeney's is awesome. This project serves a really great purpose empowering young people through writing. And the store in front is a really creative and fun idea! I definitely recommend it.

They have some cool art prints and programs to support local literacy. That's why they get three stars. Other than that, the selection is the same as any novelty gift store you've ever been in. If you are in the area, stop inside but I wouldn't ever go out of my way to go there.

This place is great. Its a mixture of book store/gag store/random toys and games. They work with 826CHI, a really cool nonprofit, and this is a great place to grab a gift for children/teenagers but you can find stuff for people of all ages. The staff is also pretty quirky and friendly. I always enjoy stopping by.

This was an unexpected quirky store . Lots of trinkets and ideas kids created and were sold in this store, along with different creative books. Overall a very unique and fun store to be surprised. Right next to Shuga Records on Milwaukee Ave.

Visiting Chicago from Indiana. Found the bookstore on Yelp and thought it would be really great to see. Walked from our hotel to the Blue line. Road the Blue line all the way to where we were supposed to get off. Walked to the store but it was closed. We were there at 11 but the store doesn't open until 11:30. We went walking down the street until it opened up. Found another book store which was really cozy, fun, and cute. Made it back to the store at 11:45. Store was still closed. Went into the record store for a few more minutes to wait. Still no one there. Went all the way back to our hotel and visited a different bookstore and bought stuff there. Thought the concept was pretty unique but lost my only opportunity to visit.

It's a small store, but very big inside. You cannot be disappointed to this store. There are various kinds of clothing, bags, shoes, etc. They are also offering books.

The not-so-secret secret about Wicker Park's Secret Agent Supply Co. store is that it's really a front for the non-profit org 826 Chicago. The store has fun knick knacks, gifts, books, stationary and some spy-themed toys and gadgets but ALSO they sell the collected writing works of the students their organization supports. 826CHI is a non-profit creative writing, tutoring, and publishing center dedicated to amplifying the voices of Chicago youth- through after-school tutoring, field trips, and writing workshops for Chicago students 6-18 years old. All the proceeds from the Secret Agent Supply Co. store support/fund those programs- and 826CHI's publishing arm also uplifts student writers from these programs by making them published writers. Check out the store & support Chicago's young writers at the same time- it's a win-win. The org & store also have a lot of volunteers helping, and it's always a friendly place to check out.

I am so in love with this spot. I always go to this place just to see whats new and buy the occasional books. They carry the Rebel Girls books which are my go to present for any little girl. They also donate their profits to the homework spot in the back of the store.

Cute little spy shop in wicker park. Great place to buy people little birthday presents like an adult coloring book or a scrabble letter mug.

Website says they are open, the shop was open, shopped for 30 minutes with workers going in and out saying hi to us, only to finally have someone come up front and tell us they were closed and the door shouldn't have been unlocked. My daughter burst into tears. The woman said no one there even knows how to work the cash register and ushered us out without so much as a "sorry". Was about to drop over $100. Now my daughter is leaving in tears hating Chicago. Horrible business.

The name is a bit deceiving as this is more a small bookstore and gift shop. Fun spy related and other small toys, gadgets. Small book selection. Brought my two children and they had a fun browsing on a rainy afternoon. I liked the section of prints from local school kids.

Great place to pick up something for an aspiring spy or author-- and any proceeds go to a great cause! Just behind the store is 826CHI, a creative writing nonprofit. The store is run by volunteers, and they are wonderfully attentive and kind.
