The Old Steeple has a variety of seasonal gifts, home goods, a few food items, and decor. I agree…read morewith the other reviews that it's more of a gift store than antique shop. I would estimate that only about 10% of the inventory was antiques and many of these were bigger items like dressers. Several of the products I looked at were made by small businesses, such as the soaps and seasoning I bought. We came in December so the store had a lot of Christmas decor while we were there. I'd love to come back during another time of year to see what they have then as well!

I absolutely have to give this place credit for being such a cool shop, but it fell short of my…read moreexpectations. I paid a quick visit after going to Mayer Bros - this place is right down the street crossing Transit road, and is so easy to spot! They've got a small parking lot beside the building. The Olde Steeple itself is absolutely gorgeous - it's an old church built in 1880, and at one point the building had been burned down almost entirely. Extensive renovations eventually brought the Olde Steeple back to life, giving it new purpose by way of becoming a lovely shop, where you can now find some of the cutest home decor, craft items, even teas and coffee! The small barn in the back was donated to the Olde Steeple in 2010, and houses a ton of cool antique furniture pieces. I thought this place would lean more toward being an antique shop, but I didn't find very many antiques here besides what could be found in the barn. (They're listed in Sunday Driver, which is an antique shop directory for NY, so had guessed they would've had more antiques to offer.) I would classify it more as a country store if anything, though one that leans a little more toward the expensive side. I also thought this place would have had more locally made products. They had some awesome homemade jams, but the tea I bought came from SC, and one of the little decor items I bought came from China. The doily I bought also appeared to be mass-produced. I also noticed a lot of 1803 Candles products, which is a company based out of IL. There's nothing wrong with that, of course, but I would have looked more forward to spending what I did if they maybe had some Alpine Made stuff, or maybe some Amish linens and doilies? Maybe I got the wrong idea about what this place was supposed to be. But I will definitely visit again now that I know what sort of things they offer here. Just...don't plan on doing any serious antiquing at this place. Day 22

We assumed they'd give us store credit without a receipt. Both items had their tags on. The store said they'd take the items back but take off 20% value for not having a receipt. They're getting their item back in perfect unused shape and want to take extra money from you for an accident? You can find better stores that will build better loyalty without ripping its customers off.

My parents and I have been loyal customers of this store for years (I'm reclining against a pillow…read morefrom the store as I write this) and I always make a point to visit whenever I'm back in Buffalo, even though I now live in Las Vegas. This winter break, I found a gorgeous sequined Bills jacket (blue base, red sleeves) priced at $217. They were offering 25% off Bills gear at the time, but I wanted to think it over before making the purchase. Laux had the same with colors reversed for $115 but I prefer the jacket to be more of the blue than red. *The one pictured is the Laux one. Unfortunately, due to a flight issue, I wasn't able to return to the store as planned before leaving town. On January 2nd, I emailed the store explaining the situation and inquiring about having the jacket shipped. I received no response. I sent a follow-up email and again got no reply. I finally called the store to explain what happened and asked if they would honor the sale price since I had tried contacting them earlier. The woman said that they don't ship if it's not listed in the website, which is fair.I even mentioned I have a relative who could pick it up for me. The response? They wouldn't honor the sale price as the sale is over. I understand policies, but the lack of response to my emails and unwillingness to assist a repeat customer felt like poor customer service as I attempted to get in contact with them during the sale. I've always enjoyed shopping here, but this experience has left questioning if I will be back or recommend it to others.
