You're selling hats, kids -- not running a cancer clinic. Still, I'm sure they'll be just fine until Bay View finally disappears up it's own...

I had only stopped in briefly here during Bay View Gallery Night last week…read more Today, My husband and I went into to spend more time looking at the hats. The staff were extremely helpful with suggestions what different styles of hats based on some things we wanted in a hat. There were so many different hats, colors and styles - so much to take in! We didn't buy anything but we will for sure be back.

Amazing selection and knowledge! Walked out with two darling hats and will be back for more!read more

You have to have a license to come inside. Everything is super bulk size, but there are also things…read moreyou can buy in singles. A friend brought me along, so I was able to peruse and snag a few things for personal use. But mainly, everything is in huge sizes, think bigger than Costco. Things are well organized, but I'd have to come a few more times to get a better feel for shopping around here. Other shoppers were clearly restaurant/food truck owners grabbing things for their business, so I felt a little out of place, but no one cared that I looked out of place lol. Park near the entrance, in the covered area of the parking lot. Carts are huge and tall but slim - not as easy to maneuver than regular carts, but I can see the wisdom of the design during busy hours and lots of business owners scampering to get their place ready in the morning. I didn't think the prices were amazing deals - but I'm usually hunting for bargains and know where I can get my bargains. But for really bulk items, this would be a nice place to come for easy access without having to think too much about overhead.

They have the largest selection of food service neds at amazing prices I have ever seenread more

Well for starters, how about not listing an item as VG+ when there's a plethora of creases along…read morethe top edge and a literal hole in the back of it. Or, how about not referring to those creases and hole(s) as "minor cosmetic issues". Or, how about not listing it for over $30 above the average sale price on Discogs when the average piece sold at that price is practically in mint condition, if not still sealed, while your copy is opened, used extensively, clearly mistreated by either it's original owner or by your staff, and has unwanted tape applied by your staff on it to "fix the problem". Or, how about not making the buyer pay for shipping to ship a defective product back to your store. And if none of your staff is able to utilize any of my recommendations, how about at the very least, you and your staff not refer to collectors or hobbyists as "not-normal people with crippling OCD issues". That would be a good place to start. However, after talking with your staff on the phone recently, it's crystal clear that neither your staff nor your company cares at all about the consumer. I'm sure of it, that your staff and owner have the mindset of "there's always another sucker out there". Now, as a collector, I always read every detail about a listing just to be clear on what my expectations should be, however, after reading this description, not only am I shocked at how much the condition of the piece is downplayed, I'm utterly appalled at the hate speech used in the listing description. First, as a "limited" music store, I expect all of your staff to be more "OCD" than I, since you know it's so limited (your inventory that is) according to your namesake. Second, I expect the descriptions of your items to be thoroughly detailed without a hint of any of your staff being subjective when preparing an item to be listed. Third, I expect your staff to not participate in hate speech (the last line of your listing description, if you were still unaware of what I was referring to). Fourth, I expect that when a customer like myself needs to return an item because it's clearly not in the condition described in your listing, that you and your staff do the right thing instead of making the customer spend more money just to not have the item they bought from your store, and that a replacement or full refund (including the cost for shipping the item back to your store) be issued in a professional and courteous manner. And finally, if you and your staff are completely unwilling to make any of the changes I've suggested, then you just remove the listing altogether instead of trying to scam the next hardworking customer out of every dollar they have just so you can make a quick buck. If I could give a rating less than 1-star then I would. From this point going forward, I will NEVER place a single purchase on any item from this store for as long as I shall live. Oh and word is traveling fast around the "OCD" collecting community that your store over prices your product substantially, doesn't accurately describe the condition of your product and even downplays the severity of the damage caused, and refuses to try and make amends when an issue arises. I hope every single person who wants to purchase any item from your store, reads my review and chooses wisely and shops elsewhere. I hope the community in Wisconsin isn't similar to you and your staff, because if they are, then I'll be avoiding Wisconsin in its entirety. I've attached a screenshot I took from the current listing of ONE of the damaged items being listed on Discogs. For the tentative consumer reading my review, please choose to shop elsewhere. There are many other businesses that I would much rather purchase from and so should you. Also, for the store employee reading this review, please do not respond asking for forgiveness and to be given a second chance at rectifying the situation. Your staff has made it abundantly clear that an amenable solution will not be sought out by you, your staff, or your store in general. Thank you.

We were very impressed with their selection, organization & service!! 10/10 will be coming back!read more

They often have ingredients in their drinks that I don't see elsewhere--including urfa biber, homemade black tea syrup, Bittercube bitters and more. Their specialty coffees of September are all cleverly named: I got the Bradford Peach, while other choices include Hoan is Where the Heart Is and Chill on the Hill Chai and the Riverwest Daze. Something else I am excited about is that they recently added coffee flights to their menu--so I'll have to go back soon for that! In addition to their creative coffees, they sell pastries from the new-ish Midwest Sad bakery in Walker's Point. Love to see them supporting local, especially newer local businesses! They also support small makers and artisans in their market, selling items like clothes, candles, magnets and more. It's fun to peruse while the barista is making your coffee.

Even when the line is zigzagging through the aisles. The aisles are a confusing jumble of junk that seem to have no cohesion or direction in terms of layout and what not.

Only open sometimes, blink and you'll miss it. I really enjoyed perusing and taking it all in... they've got some really neat pieces, though nothing jumped out at me this visit as a "must have." And honestly, I couldn't help but feel like everything was priced just *a touch* too high. Totally understand paying for quality antiques in relatively perfect condition, but this spot felt almost like everything was priced $50-$100 above fair market value.

If you're into 50-60's glass, lamps, décor and furniture this is absolutely a place you should be checking out. They've got tons of interesting barware, lamps shaped like flamingos, beer signs for your awesome basement bar and lots of tacky paintings. I was surprised by how much furniture they had - console tables, tons of side chairs and the kind of horribly patterned upholstered sofas that my grandma referred to as "davenports". Speaking of my grandma, I'm pretty sure she owned most of this stuff at some point, especially the matador figurines because bullfighting??? IDK, never could quite figure out what theme grandma had going on in her living room. Anyway, I'd agree with Rachel that the prices on stuff here seem to be higher than at other vintage/antique shops. I'm guessing the high amount of vintage-loving hipsters in BV are driving prices up. Also be aware that the shop is PACKED full, so it's not a great place for smaller kids.
