Worth the search!

Though this tiny shop is packed from ceiling to floor with merchandise, and "excuse me" is the most common phrase heard whilst browsing the tight aisles, it is a treasure trove of adorable clothes for little boys and girls. You won't find the Wal-Mart style basics here; most of the clothing at Chocolate Soup comes in outfits, and originally retails for upwards of $60 an outfit. However, the Chocolate Soup price is always good, and their %-off sales make the prices extremely affordable. This is the best place to buy clothes for little boys in St. Louis, since they actually have cute things, not just striped shirts and khaki pants.

• Pros: value for money, good quality, helpful staff
• Cons: crowded w/ clothes

Mix it up with practical or fanciful togs for little ones, with sweet prices to match.

In Short
In addition to the Chocolate Soup label, the store features other designer lines--all at deeply discounted prices. Jumpers, pantsuits, infant sizes and accessories are especially popular. Girls' sizes run newborn to 14, and boys' sizes run newborn to 7. Clothing is made with thick hems and room-to-move buttons, so growing children can wear them until they wear out.
