My fiancé and I came here a couple of times this week and it didn't disappoint either time. The first time we stopped in, we found a bunch of antique bottles we plan to use as wedding decor for a really great deal! Several vendors had sales going on when we stopped in, so that was a lucky find. The staff and vendors greeted us and made sure we knew they were available if we needed any help. They were all very kind and friendly. One guy was so helpful getting the bottles off a high shelf for us and packing them up. And then the woman who checked us out was so sweet as well! We came back today because I had an appointment to try on wedding dresses at one of the booths, Cream & Ivory. Let me tell you, I have scoured the internet for vintage wedding dresses, and I was very impressed with the selection here. I would have been happy with several of the dresses I tried on to be honest, but I did find the perfect one I was looking for! Morgan, the owner of this booth, was so kind, patient, and helpful with getting me in and out of some of the dresses. (FYI: there's a little dressing area with a curtain in the corner to change, but you'll need to make an appointment with Morgan to try on the dresses, as some can be understandably delicate and she can help you carefully change into them.) As someone that feels uncomfortable and out of place in a traditional bridal shop, it was a lot of fun to try stuff on here and felt very relaxed and chill. Morgan is really cool and easy to talk to. She also gave me helpful and honest feedback and wasn't pushy or pressuring in any way, quite the opposite actually. The prices are beyond reasonable, which is so refreshing both in this economy and in the wedding industry. I love that it's important to Morgan to keep some cool vintage wedding gowns accessible in a city like LA. I'm in love with the dress I went home with today and really enjoyed my whole experience! Thank you Morgan, wishing you lots of success with your shop!

During 2021 and 2022 I easily spent $20,000+ at this business. I used to love coming here and shopping for antiques and felt like the vendors were more than just sellers, they were my friends. Unfortunately, due to the employees this antique center has hired over the past 2 years, I no longer spend my time or money here. Is hiring radical feminists a reflection of the business they work for? Why yes actually, yes it is. Which is why I felt compelled to leave this review. Not all the employees here are bad but sadly, as they say, it only takes 1 evil misandrist to ruin the lot. Or a business. Or a life. #standuptoabuse

I come here all the time I spend a significant amount of money. Yesterday I came and asked for information on how to become a vendor and one of two ladies behind the counter spoke to me as if I was a criminal , she was rude, she treated as if I were mentally challenged just because I asked for a pen. She is is a rude lady... I feel bad for the owner or manager because. She is the nicest but her staff seems to always be bother by questions , behind the counter talking about personal life, but it's not just those two ladies it's all staff. They do walk around doing racial profiling making sure I don't steal anything and place it in my CHANEL BAG... lol my Chanel bag, Balenciaga shoes and Gucci sweater are worth 8k but they follow like as if I were a gangster ready to robbed place. I was just trying to rent a spot. :(

Probably the most bountiful and expansive antique mall in our Pasadena/San Gabriel valley at least. Beautiful or artfully ugly wares, take your pick because it's all here. Some of our favorite dealers reside in this seek and find labyrinth of treasures, everyone exceptionally supportive of one another, that's for sure. If you can't find one thing to leave with, you haven't been a lookie loo long enough; today treated myself - it is my birthday - to an Italian country cookbook and a tiny vase. Love the eclectic sensibility here- truly something for everyone and whatever floats your boat, you'll find it in here as you meander through all the tiny passages and hallways!

Very decent antique mall! It's quite large with tons of booths filling up two stories - I spent the better part of an hour here just lightly browsing and feel like I could've staying longer. It's also very clean and organized well - easy to peruse! I've been on the hunt for an antique filing cabinet for years and thought I'd been to every antique mall in the area but I was wrong haha! I didn't find one here so my search goes on arggghhh!! But I'm so glad I came - they have a TON of Tiffany style lamps that I also have on my wish list! And they even have a real Tiffany lamp that's actually signed and it's behind locked glass (it's $22,000 lol) - that's the first real one I've seen in an antique store - they're usually just the "Tiffany style". You usually only find a couple in the stores but there's so many here! And I saw a few that I really liked so I'll definitely be back to investigate further I'm sure lol. All the staff were very welcoming and eager to assist - you could tell they love to talk about their items and are happy to be there! They do have quite a few genuine antiques - a lot from the 19th century but I even saw a piece or two from the 17th and 18th centuries!! And they have a ton of mid century modern stuff. My only complaint is that the prices on a lot of the items are pretty expensive- definitely a lot higher than all the other antique malls I've been to in SoCal. And some of the pricey items weren't in good condition. So just be aware and do your homework. This is why I walked out empty handed - gotta do some research before I drop that kinda cash :/ It's very easy to find - right off Fair Oaks in Pasadena. There's some street parking but it's a very busy area so I would be nervous to park on the street - tons of crazy traffic. They have a private lot to the side with its own entrance.

Had a couple hrs to kill and decided to try out this place n see what called to me.. the ladies in there were very kind & helpful n so to them here is a star each!!! The fact that I found such cool items and even had an incredible deal had automatically given this place an immediate 5 stars!! That was until a bald fly or should I say a butterfly fell in the soup... As I turned the aisle *Him forcing a smile while nodding* as one goes about their day.... Him: Auhmm T-shirt!!!? Cashier lady: 0h I got him :3 Despite the fact one is walking around w a closed package and a receipt on hand....

For me, going in, I knew it would be way out of budget. If you're the same way, but want to know what it's like, treat this experience like going to an art gallery.They have this store FULL of gorgeous finds. Everything is curated so beautifully, that each booth is cohesive to the next, but they are all separate vendors. It's if anything, an inspiration.Items are extremely unique. I don't know who's buying these beautiful finds, but I'd love to have tea at their home.

This is an awesome store. Be prepared to roam around for a while - it's huge! There are so many treasures that await you. I bought two nineteenth-century books & a vintage t-shirt. The employees are really kind & helpful and there are bathrooms inside.

I wandered into this amazing store after brunch today. What a gem !!!! First of all it's massive so I'll have to go back again. The staff was really attentive and helpful, able to answer all my questions and point me in the right direction. It's a treasure trove honestly and it helped a novice like myself that the staff could help me figure out what I needed. Can't wait to go back!
