“This place is absolutely amazing! So many trinkets to look through you could spend hours in here. The staff is so kind, I was buring time waiting for a train and when I burnt a little too much and had to go they were able to hold onto my pile with no problem. I highly recommend checking this place out!”
“Just visited Old Towne Orange area for the first time today. Both Garre and Gary are very friendly and very knowledgeable about the time period of each piece. They were so kind to take so much time to show us each piece and inform us about its history. They also have a great selection of many beautiful pieces from various time periods, specializing in antiques.”
“This store is filled to the brim with beautiful art, decor, jewelry and furniture that likely once filled the homes of Orange County elite. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the prices were reasonable. The owner, Suzanne, was lovely to talk to and I wish I had found this place sooner. I am about to move at the end of the summer and I'm not sure how much stuff I can drag out of state with me. Either way, you will find one-of-a-kind items in here.”

523 W Commonwealth Ave, Fullerton“This cute shop is run by a mother and daughter duo...hence the name of the store. only met the daughter...She is extremely kind and accommodating. Blasted the AC on extremely hot summer day while most antique stores don't do that. Let me browsed an hour after official closing time on the weekend. She can see that I am into paper items, and she referred me to other fun antique shops to check out in the area in the collector's handbook. That truly shows she cares about the community and doesn't have that nasty competitive spirit some business owners may have. Will visit every time I come from the LA area.”
“I have shopped many times here, every single time has been a great experience. My greatest find and purchase was a cauldron. I have purchased Christmas gifts there for several years. This is more than a place to shop, it's a place to have coffee, Meet friendly people and cute shop mascots and feed water turtles. I literally would spend hours walking around, and Gums was always happy to see me whether I purchased anything or not. I MISS SHOPPING THERE, Since I had to move to Nevada. There's antique shops, I guess out here, but NOT LIKE MAGICAL GUMS. WHERE YOU REALLY FEEL LIKE YOU'VE STEPPED INTO A TIME MACHINE WITH THE FRIENDLIEST PEOPLE THERE TO GREET YOU.”
“I'm new to collecting silver, and the owner at this shop was amazing and gave me some great advice. His prices were excellent on silver coins, and the shop has some really cool and weird items for sale. Check it out! Best thing is that he takes card!”
“Has everyone seen a older lady that has antique store she was wearing jeans with long gray hair don’t remember what store it was but she was beautiful kinda hippieish ☮️”
“Wow! The building is literally crammed to the rafters with an awesome collection of items from the past. All beautifully presented and almost all for sale.The collection is constantly changing so it's worth visiting every year.Free entry.Parking is very limited. There is a public toilet.Not sure how you'd go navigating through the building in a wheelchair as some displays are very close together.”
“Is this business still open? Every time I call the phone number, for two days it says the number has been disconnected. They were always my favorite store! I hope they are still open. Will someone reply to this post and let me know?”
“Made a stop at Ola's for the first time and was not disappointed. It's a nice small shop with LOTS of selections. It's hard to find a nice shop with reasonable pricing now days and this shop falls into that category. Everything was very fairly priced. Definitely will be back, and wanting to check out their every 2nd sunday outdoor events.”
“Gilding the Lily is a fascinating shop with about a million and one beads, buttons, findings, vintage jewelry and other fun stuff. Be prepared to linger. The owner is amazing and gives great advice on possible options. Call ahead, not sure of open schedule.”
“I found this place with pure luck. I have a vintage American Airlines airplane that belong to my grandfather. It was in very poor shape. After a few weeks, they restored the airplane in perfect shape. I couldn't be any more grateful to the owner and her assistant. They are true artists at what they do. I.”
“Woven Treasures is definitely a Five Star, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly business to deal with if it has to do with high quality area rugs and carpets. My wife and I visited their showroom in Orange County. They have an incredible selection of both modern and traditional styles. Hooman was great to work with and can meet your every need. Highly recommended!”

18595 Main St, Huntington Beach“Largest ACS Discovery Shop I've visited. Well stocked, friendly volunteers that acknowledged customers upon entry. Conversation about jewelry with volunteer was inspiring. Take a peek!”
“If you're looking for some very nice thrift this is the place to go!They have a great blend of different decades and everything is nice quality.I found an amazing pair of shoes but they were too large by a size.Their pricing is completely fair.I'm adding to my list of mystery stop at thrift shops!”
“Did a wonderful job with a difficult piece. Large splits in wood top and on the sides of my antique hutch. Matched the color and old time wax finish. So very happy with their presence in my home and the quality of work. Thank You!”
“I met Woody and his mom MANY years ago at an antique show in San Francisco. I have bought many Heywood Wakefield Pieces from him over the years, but never got around to getting over to his store in Orange to find a Heywood Wakefield dining room set. Until earlier this year. I found a buffet at a store here in Phoenix so it was finally time to round up an entire dining room set. We did it all over the phone sending pictures back and forth. And he delivered the refinished table (with leaves), 6 chairs, and smaller buffet with display cabinet to me in April. The set of my dreams! He had me send him a shelf from the buffet I already had and he matched all the other pieces to it perfectly. And the reupholstery on the chairs was 5 star! I am so glad to finally have this set and so happy I was able to get it from Woody. My only regret is I was never able to make it to Orange to see his store front before he closed it this Spring. If you want Heywood Wakefield, source it through Woody. He is the best!”

2868 E Imperial Hwy, Brea“Loretta was wonderful - responsive, helpful and made the whole process easy and fun. I purchased two benches for my garden. Loretta took care of having painted and delivered. Other unique and beautiful items for sale too. True value! Thanks!”
“I really like the way they sell so many high end large furniture pieces. Very good quality and well worth the money. Some from France and many dating back over 100 years ago. Such unique pieces and the price is spot on. A very friendly staff awaits your entry and any questions are answered promptly.”
“Absolutely wonderful place with amazing service. I called from Washington state after seeing their catalog online. They had brackets for my Hoosier that I promise you no one else had. I have been researching and calling for MONTHS and Muff’s popped up on an internet search and the rest is history. Called and within seconds they helped me verify that the part I was looking at was correct, and they shipped it out the next available business day!! Will go nowhere but Muff’s from now on!! Can’t thank them enough!”
“Antique jewelry lover's dream. Their inventory is very well curated and each piece is different from the next. Signets to engagement rings to charms and pocket watches. Super friendly and welcoming. Only downsides is that it can be confusing to get there as you have to pass through the antique mall and sometimes it can be crowded in the space for viewing the jewelry cases.”

1814 N Tustin Ave, Santa Ana“Great store. I went all around Orange County looking for a good deal on a couple items. I was excited to find this place when they had exactly what I needed for a very fair price. The owner was a really nice guy.”

8345 Garden Grove Blvd #106, Garden Grove, CA 92844
I like this place very much. I used to go to their old location. Heard now they downsized and moved to a smaller location a couple blocks down. This is just a Korean-owned mom-and-pop shop (now mostly pop and daughter). I’ll address some of the crazy reviews on here.
Is it expensive? Yes. But what antique/thrift store isn’t expensive in this last decade? Gone are the days where good vintage stuff can be found for cheap. It doesn’t hurt to see if the owner would consider a reasonable counteroffer. Try it.
Junk Items: It’s a mix. I’ve found gems here. I feel like it’s mostly garage and yard-sale scoops dumped here. This is not a purveyor of fine/rare antiques. Although…there are some 1950s-70’s vintage stuff here to be found. But it’s really a mix.
Only Asian Furniture: incorrect. Yes a lot of Japanese/Chinese artwork, themed furniture, etc. but not exclusive. I’ve seen some Americana accessories and knickknacks here too.
I haven’t been to the smaller location yet, so I imagine most of the big furniture is listed online only while small items are stored here.
But the owner and his daughter? Or maybe just an assistant - are very friendly.”
