Past/found this GEM  Friday. Got there early (doesn't open till 11AM on Saturday).  Was worth the…read morewait! Such a nice clean well cared for shop layed out in a welcoming format to get to see everything. Displays are beautiful alone never mind the crystals that they are housing that are dust free & sparkling. Great variety.  Girl behind desk was very friendly,  knowledgeable & helpful.  A natural salesperson not pushy. Be sure to walk around the store 2xs so you don't miss anything - also check out the clearance selection right past cashier on right side wall we selected (4) @  50% off.

Stumbled into this crystal shop by accident, while looking for vegan-friendly food and coffee…read morenearby. Excellent, well-curated selection of gems, books, jewelry, decor, etc. Definitely higher quality gems than you'll find at street fairs and average boardwalk shops. Most notable was the bright young woman at the register who was both helpful and friendly. It was my first time in Avon-by-the-Sea, and she was kind enough to tell me all the positive aspects of that town, referring to it as a 'hidden' gem with good vibes -- the perfect pun for a shop full of crystals. A positive experience all around. Left with a bag of shiny goodies. I will be sure to drop by again next time I'm in this charming town.

Just walking briefly through the store because i had limited time i was impressed in how they displayed items not like the Manalapan store which is a disaster. I will definitely go back to this location over the Manalapan one even though it's closer to home. Cashier was pleasant n I complimented her on the stores neatness.

How is it every time I stop in here I can't walk out empty handed? I go in for just ONE thing and…read morewalk out loaded!!! I have a movie theater/man cave in our basement and I love that I can find the perfect decorations every time I walk in this store, from sign for the walls, to cushions, trinkets or covers for the sofa and chairs, not to mention the little items like small decorations of plants, or just items that fit what I am looking for, or didn't know I needed. Prices on some items are a little high, but almost always I find the perfect items within my "budget" LOL. Staff is always helpful and the seasonal items are nonstop perfection!!

I make a lot of beaded bracelets throughout the year and it seems like every time I look for 4mm glass seed beads in a variety of colors, they're sold out. Between the Mets and Knicks, I would think they could keep a decent supply of blue, orange and white beads on hand throughout the baseball and basketball seasons. We are in the NY market with plenty of fans here. Their prices are also on the high side and there's never anyone around to help. I went through the entire store talking to anyone ... even did self check out. I think there's some room for improvement here. I managed to buy some blue and white beads from their hanging necklace section and a small little vial of orange seed beads to get me through making these Knicks playoff and finals bracelets. GO KNICKS!

I have been here prior to this prestigious yearly event tonight. Let me say that the owners and…read morestaff here are very accommodating and seem to go above & beyond. Having toured the place one can see a plethora of antiques displayed: furniture, art, photography, clothing, jewelry, glassware and vintage tools , too numerous to name all genres, great variety with reasonable prices. Tonight's occasion was the annual Wine and Chocolate Tasting event, sponsored by the Greater Ocean Township Chamber of Commerce (GOTCC). It was a lovely affair with various vendors and business entrepreneurs with Shore Antique Center as it's backdrop. And boy, did we eat and drink!!! Gourmet desserts, wine, beer, many types cheese and fruits, salads , pasta, ice cream were offered at various stations in the building at one's leisure. All for $15.00 per head. Stop in daily from 11-5 and get a "feel" for the place, you also might have something worthwhile to sell. As I said the staff is very accommodating and will work with you.

VERY high prices! If you are a RESELLER - this is NOT the place for YOU !…read more Basic "junk" like a Snoopy glass is $10.00 - soooooo just imagine how much they want for an original (misprinted) Incredible Shrinking Man movie poster ? ($375.00) The selection is pretty good and there are some nice things here . But the prices are pretty much "book" and then add another 15 % on TOP of that ! My niece purchased a "basic" 1960s cotton shift dress for $60.00 (from a Vintage clothing store - this would have been $34.99. $60.00 is a "New York City" price) . Again - nice place to look but you will NOT find any "mistakes" here ! Not a ONE. You were warned.

The kind of people that think the world revolves around them. Not all, and I'm trying not to be ageist, but it was exclusively the elderly that were intolerable (Important distinction: not every elderly customer was awful, but every awful customer was elderly). So if you're looking for a place where no employee is willing to help, and you want to get screamed at by a senior citizen, simply for existing, this is the place for you!

There are so many interesting and fun items! If you plan on taking your dog with you, there's a grassy area outside to avoid accidents in the store. Also, try to go during a time that's less crowded (maybe when they first open). Homegoods is very popular and the aisles can get tight - be sure to keep your dog comfortable and safe from the hustle and bustle.
