This was a nice way to spend my time and there were many things that I considered purchasing. Great collectibles . Soooo much to look at and the shop keepers were very friendly and welcoming. read more

wooooow this place is ridicioussssly huge! Mall is a pretty accurate description, though you wouldn't realize it was so big from the outside. Rooms and rooms or old cookware, buttons, clothes, etc. Wearing other people's clothes and using their cookware kind of freaks me out, but there were still some pretty good finds in the store. I saw a super old hand crank sewing machine, if it wasn't for the $600 price tag I would have gotten there. There were also mutiple mickey mouse vintage phones and some cool signs, etc. they also have a pretty good stock of old movies (VHS, do people even have VHS players?) and old books. read more

You are greeted immediately upon entering. The staff are extremely friendly and informative. This isn't just a store; this place is a veritable museum. They frequently update their inventory, and all 5000 square feet of this place is packed to the ceiling with interesting items. read more

I grew up in what could be a museum. See, my mom was born almost twenty years after my uncle. He had his house fully furnished and decorated by the time my grandma passed away, and so my mom inherited about three generations' worth of neat old stuff, some of which members of her side of the family had carted across the country in a wagon many years ago. My brothers and I tried our best to break as much of it as possible growing up, but for every priceless heirloom we destroyed, another took its place, slowly opening up space in our packed garage. My dad suspected she was finding similar replacements at antique stores and estate sales, but never could prove it. He never asked me. If he had, I could have told him that yes, she was finding similar items that she could be nostalgic about for her long passed family members. I know, because I used to go with her to pick through the piles of stuff at the antique shops on Western in Los Angeles. The memory of some of those trips hit me while wandering through this store. Three stories of antiques, with multiple rooms and passageways stuffed with... well... stuff. At one point I tried on an interesting stone bracelet and it fell apart, scattering pieces of stone everywhere. The shop keeper was pretty cool, didn't make me pay for it, just bagged the pieces and let me know that they had a local craftsman who could repair that kind of thing. Phew! I was sure they'd have a 'you broke it you bought it' policy. And for stuff that cost more than $6, I'm sure they did. After about an hour of looking at the neat old stuff, I got sensory overload and had to get out. But it was fun taking a trip down memory lane, even if it was triggered by someone else's memorabilia. I guess, like my mom, I can get nostalgic over items that are similar to those I grew up with. read more

This place is a million items dredged up from the bowels of 10,000 grandmothers' closets. You could spend a whole afternoon and then some looking through everything they have. Reasonably priced for an antiques shop. I don't know if prices are negotiable, but I would give it a go. A TON of costume jewelry and furniture are available on three stories of antique madness. All their clothes are pretty bad, but definitely come for the decorative items and trinkets. Bring a signal mirror or flares when you come, it's so gigantic you might get lost. read more

The cutest antique mall I've ever been in! The space was so unassuming. My husband and I had no idea what we were walking into. He spotted the crystals in the window and we just kept wandering in, looking at all the great items! Most antique shops carry some heavy energy from all the different folks' old items, but this space was so sweet. We picked up some beautiful crystals, vintage Pyrex and vintage silver & turquoise jewelry. We would have left with several bigger pieces of furniture too if we had space in our truck! We'll definitely be back by! read more

These reviews are interesting. Cambria Antique Center was forced to close in April 2004, due to water damage to the building. read more
