A dream for some, an absolute nightmare for others. To each their own! For me I’ve had lovely experiences.

This little shop is badass. Dude is super nice too. Very unique collection and his prices are decent. He is somewhat flexible when haggling with you. The only thing negative I can say about this place is that the music played in the store is often times way too loud. It can be difficult to hear someone standing right next to you. The best thing about this place is his antique jewelry. I purchased some stunning pieces for my daughter's senior prom and they were absolutely perfect.

Been to this shop before and everything was normal. Today however, I was trying to buy a few patches, but an old man in a beard and hat refused my money. I could tell he got upset over where I found the patches but instead of talking like an adult he immediately refused to sell them to me and would only say "ok, bye" as I asked to buy them.The only interaction I had was telling him what the price sign read and where the patches were. He obviously didn't like that one of the patches was moved (and not by me, I'll honestly say). It's upsetting that this couldn't be handled maturely because I understand that merchandise can be moved, but to immediately be accused of lying and refused a purchase felt so off-putting that it left me speechless.I'm never coming here again and will definitely let others know what I experienced.

When you come across this store you are greeted outside with bins of old postcards, vintage jewelry, sunglasses, surprise items that tickle your curiosity to step in to check it out. A great place to see doll house furniture, novelty rings, pins, necklaces, pictures and candies plus more. Step in and relive old memories and discover many interesting things.

This is my favorite spot In Berkeley, well, excepting the University of California @ Berkeley.The Campus is beautiful but the Curiosity Shop has 10,000 things I didn’t know I needed, but now, cannot live without.Remember the 1943 steel Penny? I keep looking for the rare copper type. Worth some real $$$$$$$$$$ folks!The US government stopped production of the copper penny that year for the war effort. Needed the copper for production of ships to take war materials to England.A few slid through the pipeline, and are still out there… keep your eyes open!Best little shop ever…? ????????

[PROS] Lots of cute jewelry at a reasonable and affordable price. I got several beautiful silver gems to make jewelry pieces with! I would also go w gloves as some of the stuff is dusty! No biggie really but just a heads up.
[CONS] Music was absolutely way too loud and not sensory friendly. I’m talking like concert level, you should probably wear earplugs to protect your eardrums, loud. I am autistic and had too leave earlier than I would have liked and had to stand outside and wait for my sister.

This was a fun, unique find in the heart of Berkeley. Everything was reasonably priced, especially for the area! We loved the selection and the variety.Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Only downside is the small space does not allow for a lot of accessibility. Otherwise, I would have rsted 5 stars. ?

I only gave 4 out of 5 because the music inside of deafening and the whole atmosphere is rather overwhelming. You could be inside for hours.

the store is more appealing and inviting on the outside. spent most of my time looking at stickers before going inside. the inside was really compact and hard to move around. as of july 2023 i can attest the music is still loud despite all of the reviews - kind of rubs me the wrong way this hasn't been taken into consideration. everything felt dusty and dirty. some guy was also walking around with no socks or shoes on which i don't want to judge but...it was just a lot. left without buying anything.
