If yes, to any or all of the above, this small business is for you! I like stopping in for one of the ever changing iced tea options & a pastry from Rockaway Beach Bakery. I typically leave with a piece of clothing, a snack, something for the house. The couple that own the shop care about all the details. They are thoughtful & community minded, organizing markets featuring an assortment of local small businesses, artists, & other vendors. Follow them on instagram to keep up with all their well planned events.

Loved this little coffee shop x vintage store! We were on…read morethe way to Long Beach with some friends and we stopped by here for coffee. You wouldn't think they sell coffee here from the outside, but we were pleasantly surprised when we walked in. It was giving super cute modern coastal vibes! So fitting for the beach town. I got an iced latte and my husband got a hot chocolate. Our drinks were great. It's a perfect stop to grab a drink and browse some vintage goodies at the same time. They had really cool items. We sat outside in front of the shop and enjoyed our drinks. A must stop if you're in the area!

They are great people and they will entertain you if you are chatty and friendly. Cooky's shop is filled with current fashion as well as Vintage clothing (downstairs is a must visit for that). They mostly have ladies wear but there is lots of menswear too! They have household items, some furniture pieces and their jewelry case is to die for. I don't leave her without something. Preferably vintage as her selection is top notch and reasonably priced. If you find something great you know you're not finding it anywhere else. Definitely put Cooky's on your list of must visits!

Unlike thrift stores, all of the clothes are washed and repaired before they touch your skin. You're paying for the knowledge and restoration as well as the vintage evalue of the pieces.

I donated plates here a while back, but couldn't browse because the owner said she was closed, even…read morethough the door was open, so I just handed her the stack of plates. I went back a dozen times when it said online that the store was open, but it was always closed. I was driving by today I saw the door was open, so I finally got the opportunity to browse. The merchandise was really hard to see because things were haphazardly on top of each other, and most of the things were scratched/chipped/broken or had water damage. I found ONE cute little picture that wasn't damaged, so I looked up it's worth online before asking how much she was charging for it. It was $5 online-- and online it comes with an artist bio, not just a mat. (Screenshot attached) After she charged someone in front of me who was carrying a pile of things $8 for everything, I asked her how much for the little picture (this was a print reproduction, not an original limited print or artist proof or anything), and SHE SAYS TO ME: $20!!! I was astounded-- there were other pictures 10x the size labeled $15. It seemed really nervy to ask me $20 for a little picture at a secondhand junk store. I just said thank you and left. I can't help but think that because I am White-passing and was there with my Irish boyfriend, that she gave me a much higher price than she would have given me had I looked more like the other customer there. Really disappointing experience. When I went to the LI Trading Post in Bellmore, I got two pieces of wood furniture for a total of $10. I've never heard of charging customers $20 for one tiny decorative, not even functional, item at this type of store. THIS store, especially, because it was a really mess and hard to navigate (I had to leap over stuff in the aisles to get through-- the place should have citations for fire hazards), and I felt like I was at risk of getting bedbugs just by being in there.
