Lovely spot with great coffee, delicious light bites and charming hostess gifts. Warm and welcoming. A wonderful addition to Easton — the Christmas Tree capitol of CT.

I have to wonder what happened in the last year to make Greiser's go from a fun place to shop for vintage items, antiques and a bite to eat -- to, well...not being that. As an antiques dealer, I am embarrassed to admit I discovered Greiser's only last year and loved feeling like I'd stepped back to a time when buying antiques was a pleasure, not a battle. On that first visit last I found at least a half dozen items that were reasonably priced. The fellow behind the counter was very nice and came down a bit on some pieces a little too high for my budget. Other prices were fine; I respected his fairness and didn't try to negotiate on those. Spent about $200-$250. The other day, a friend and I came in and the same fellow was there. We greeted him warmly and he did the same. . But within short order we got the feeling he'd sized us up as rich New Yorkers out for a Saturday drive who'd stopped in to score a treasure from the country bumpkin: On virtually EVERYTHING -- that didn't already have a price tag -- he came up with prices that were full retail or above. Considering my experience last time was so different, this seemed odd. And that coupled with him putting on a poker face while quoting those astronomical prices -- was unsettling. Maybe I'm being too sensitive here -- but I got the sense it was to see if we'd react in the way he ASSUMED we would. In other words, I suspect he (incorrectly) thought we'd pegged him as a know-nothing so wanted to see our "shock" when it turned out he knew what an item was. Honestly, the thought hadn't entered our minds. Shop-owners are wise to take the time to learn what an item is. But what too often happens is they see the HIGHEST amount that item sold for and price the piece the same --- thinking it's really worth that --- and inevitably alienating their antiques dealer patrons. It was pretty discouraging. Of course we all love to find items reasonably priced, so we can make a little bit ...it's how we make our living. But what saddened me is the sense that either someone told him he was crazy to sell things reasonably to dealers, that they really have tons of money and only act destitute (ha-ha -- that's not the case with us or most of our colleagues!) or that some publication/media outlet found the store, went gaga over it, and he bought into the fame thing (e.g. when he said the shop was the "best-kept secret in Connecticut" all I could think was that had been some trendy magazine's headline.) But maybe it really WAS that he thought we were wealthy weekenders looking for a pretty antique to perch on our Sutton Place mantelpiece, then regale our friends with the cute story of how we picked it up at this old-timey shop in little ol' Easton. IF that's the case (and again, maybe I'm just overreacting by thinking it is) he couldn't have been more wrong. We live in Connecticut all week, AND on the weekends, and we don't even know anyone on Sutton Place. Greiser's is a great shop, run by family for years. There's really no other store in CT that truly looks like it never left the 1940s. It's been there for nearly 100 years and they work hard. I hope it never ends. But sadly, for us -- as antiques dealers -- there doesn't seem much of a reason to go back. :-(
