We hadn't planned to stop but noticed this place while driving to downtown Julian. It was packed with antiques and unique items, from vintage clothing and records to cookware, furniture, and decorative pieces. You'll find rare collectibles, retro toys, jewelry, and quirky trinkets. An entire shed of holiday-themed antiques. There's also a quiet seating area leading to a small estate with chickens, a donkey , a cat, and other animals. We didn't buy anything, but it was fun to browse and is now on my list for antique shopping! read more

A true junk shop--but WAY overpriced and dirty. Antique store prices in a flea market setting. Crowded, narrow aisles, lots of steps. Many aisles blocked so you can't get to things even if you want to. I wasn't impressed with the selection-lots of glassware and clothes. If digging through merch in a crowded, claustrophobic, dirty setting is your jam, you'll love it. The guy running the place was very nice. read more

Once in a blue moon we'll stop out of curiosity in a town we've visited. This shop definitely has a lot of antiques older than me. I was hoping to get a few red, white & blue decor for 4 th of July since it'll be the next big holiday to celebrate. I did see 3 items but not enough to call my name to take me home with you. I did find a cute faced, dressed up, gently loved teddy bearess that could fit in the palm of my hand for $10. I have a spot to put her on a distressed white bookcase in our extension. Picked up 2 bunches of sage with flowers for Doc and me. I learned it's used for cleansing crystals, etc. If you have nothing else planned and passing through this might be an interesting browse. One man's junks is another man's treasure. While you're there you can enjoy very old rag time like music being played. read more

This place is definitely bigger than it seems. There are 2 very cute donkeys in the back that you can buy apples for in the store. I will say, the actual stuff inside the store is verrry pricey but they are antiques so I get it. Fun to look at everything though! They also have 2 cute cats that roam the store & love pets. read more

This place is a treasure! I've been coming here for years. The selection is on point and there's a sweet mix of local artisan things too. Tracy really cultivates a bespoke environment that fits the local area and caters to passers-by. We love the little Christmas cottage out back, the train depot bldg, and the 2 donkeys who will gladly come up and give nuzzles if you call for them Five stars read more

I love going to this antique shop every year we are in the area. Never ending supply of surprises and new inventory! Shops spread out over 3 or 4 buildings to explore! The service is awesome as the ladies are cordial, inviting and knowledgeable! Prices are about what is expected but a few sellers are high! I will be back ... over and over and over again! read more

While antiquing around Julian we had to stop in here. It is the the largest antique mall in the area by far. Inside is a nice collection of booths offering the usual vintage / antique home goods. Quality and organization vary booth to booth but overall things are in good shape and easy to browse. Lots of books and dishes. I enjoyed a booth that had a good supply of old military uniforms and weapons, knives and swords in particular. Another booth that caught my eye was one that featured old clocks and light up bar signs. Looks like a good start to a man cave. Several old typewriters and telephones are around to marvel at. There is also an impressive room dedicated to Christmas items including 2 fully decorated trees. Be sure to head outside in back to see the train and toys house. Someone has built 2 model train towns. I remember doing this as a kid so it was neat to see. Keep it up mysterious train fan. I forgot to take pics so make sure you take a look. read more

My FAVORITE antique shop in the area! Fair prices and a huge selection! Best part is they are open seven days a week!

It doesn't look like much from the outside. But I recommend you stop and step back in time with their Antiques. This was a cool stop on the way to Julian Ca. Rooms and rooms of antiques. Make sure you go all the way through there are buildings outside to look at as well as donkeys! Yes real live donkeys. Make sure you search out the Julian Apple Pie soap while your there. Smells fabulous! And it's an inexpensive gift! read more

Stopped here on our way out of Julian. This is a very uniquely set-up antique shop/antique mall with little "houses" holding different items on the grounds. One of the little houses has toys, another a gardening one. You take the items that you'd like to purchase to the main shop, which is set up like an antique mall and search for more treasures there, as well as make your final purchase at the counter. Hubby and I spent quite a bit a time here, searching every little nook and cranny (fine I was the one doing the detailed searching, but hubby liked it too). I saw some very antique garden equipment as well as an ancient washing machine. Hubby had to point that out to me; I'd never seen one. They really should start a little museum for some of the really old items; I see it as a very educational look back into past. Antique-ers will love this place, as will those who like unique items. read more

It looks like a tiny shack, but, if you stop and look around, it's HUGE. Lots of neat gifts and they always have things out for the season. They have one building dedicated to model railroads and items for those as well, which is rare now a days. My last visit, I walked out with some nice teacups and a chamber candle holders. read more

The cashier I assume was Tracy T and I asked her why she would sell Nazi memorabilia. She said its history, and that I didn't have to buy it. I told her that they killed a-lot of people and that she was promoting this and profiting from it. Seeing this garbage for sale turned my soul. I was excited to stop by this place and spend some $$$$ but I was disgusted by her attitude so I walked out with all my money. She wasn't wearing a mask. She isn't an old soul. Old souls have heart. read more

It's a good store with a nice selection. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is my mom couldn't get her wheelchair inside. I realize it's an old building so that's not likely to change, but it's not as much fun antiquing without my mom with me. I did get a nice doll though. read more

LOVE this place! Found all the pie pans I wanted... Good Ol' Fashioned and priced right. AND do you remember the TupperWare bowls your mom used? They have PLENTY and I am now the Mom the kids will remember when they see the bowls now... AWESOME! Thanks TONS! read more

my boy and i stumbled upon this little gem one day after leaving julian! this is the type of antique store where i could look for hours. loads of really cool old stuff in lots of different rooms. i believe it's in an old house. their selection is really good and virtually untouched b/c it's so far out from san diego, i think. and their prices are really great as well. the only draw back is that it's so far away from me here in downtown san diego. definitely make a mountain day trip out of it but if you're a lover of old odd things it's sooo worth it. also, i love how b/c i signed the email list i always get cute emails for them with store updates or news like "baby goats for sale!" if only more businesses cared this much and put in the effort. read more

One of my favorite places for a little after work decompression. I stopped in today to see if I could find a funky little wooden chair for my back porch.I'm greeted of course by the two cats who take their job as ambassadors very seriously,and owner Tracy who had one of her baby goats with her behind the desk,which I had the honor of bottle feeding before walking around and finding the perfect little chair for $25. If your planning a trip to the mountains you will want to make this one of your stops it doesn't get more Julian than this! read more

WOW what an interesting Antiques and more store. They also sell canned / bottled goods to. We spent over an hour going through the entire store. They had a big selection of book and a median selection of LP's. Some of the items were priced right and some seemed to be a little high. But over all there are lots of good deals here. This is a store we will come back to see new items for sale, this is not a stagnate store for items. I must point out they had bottled garlic and preserves for sale, which I purchased 4 different types. read more

There's actually quite a selection here. A lot of different booths and a lot to look at. Some items are reasonably priced others are way overpriced. When we went to check out, we must have been interrupting the clerk from whatever she was painting at the counter. When we asked about a best price, we were informed that it was not considered unless we spent over $50. We were told that "if we spent more money, that they would be nicer to us." She and her friends had a good laugh at us. If I wanted to be treated rudely and insulted, there are plenty of other places I could go. I should have told her if she were nicer to us, we would spend more money. Be prepared to spend a lot and maybe you'll have a more pleasant experience. Good luck. read more
