About
The vibe at Parkleigh is equal parts upscale boutique and whimsical treasure hunt, earning it the tagline 'an upscale boutique...uber fun!' and decades of loyalty from Rochester shoppers. It's a gay-friendly fixture on Park Avenue with over 60 years of history, voted Rochester's Best Gift Shop every year from 2011 to 2021. The store carries an eclectic mix: MacKenzie-Childs pottery, Jellycat plush, Blue Q socks, Kiehl's skincare, gourmet coffee and tea, local artisan goods, and more spread across cozy departments. It started as a pharmacy in the 1970s before evolving into the boutique you see today.
You'll find separate MacKenzie-Childs shop that's closed Sundays and Mondays, while the main store is open Tuesday through Saturday 10am-5:30pm and Sunday 11am-3pm. Dogs are welcome inside, so you might spot a friendly pup browsing with their owner. It's a great stop on Park Avenue near Goodman Street, and if you're exploring more local shops, Craft Company No. 6 is another nearby spot worth checking out.
