Best place in the whole world to find what you didn't know you were looking for along with the things you didn't know you couldn't live without. This place is truly amazing. If you are an artist, an antique collector, a decorator, or someone who has interests that aren't ever satisfied at run-of-the mill "junk" stores this is your place. The folks who run this place are very friendly and interested in helping you find what you need. They're kind of kooky, too. Just go. An afternoon out wandering through and wondering "what am I looking at" is an afternoon spent well enjoying what Ye-Ya's is all about. I love this place. I can't wait to go back. read more

You literally don't know what you will find here! If you're into DIY or just like searching through the random stuff, this place is super fun. There were plants, garden statuary, metal items, etc. outside and artwork, furniture, and much more inside. You WILL have to dig to find things, so give yourself time to do so. The only downside is the very limited hours, but if you have some time on a weekend to stop by, see what you end up going home with! read more

I love Yeya's! You ever know what you're going to find. Old Pearl neon signs, homies figurines, embalming tables, antique doors from Mexico, oh my. The place is funky and unlike anywhere in SA. The owner is awesome, he has an eye for cool finds and is always helpful. Would definitely go back to hunt for gems and to just hang out! read more

Antique shop slash junk yard! A great place to find rustic antiques. Just a super cool place.

If you're looking for metal parts, airplane wings, commercial pieces, succulents, pots or just strange and unique junk, I'd definitely recommend Yeya's. This place is a treasure trove for people who are into DIY projects. Also the owner is really nice and helpful! read more

Went in to explore during a break while attending a conference at the convention center. Wish there was something like this by my house. Around the corner outside are tons of cactus cuttings for a good price. They gave me a bag so I could wrap them up, and get them in my carry on. read more

Yeya's Antiques & Oddities - The front two cactuses came from Yeya's and made it back to Boston with me in my carry on. I'll be back for more next time I'm in town. - Antiques Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

For the past decade or so this has been our go to place for everything from yard art, pots, plants and unique items. Have bought vintage silver plate dinnerware that we use at table. read more

The prices in this place are a joke. We found a painting that was obviously done by beginner art student that didn't even come in a frame and the owner wouldn't drop the price below $75. "It was done by a listed artist. You can search for that name and find expensive art." Well, mister, I will tell you now that every search I've done for the artist "Studie Potrat" has come up with nothing. There's some really cool stuff here. Like *really* cool stuff. But the price points are guaranteed to keep them from moving very much merchandise. When you can't even say if a clock works, don't try to sell it for more than $25. And they're kidding if they think they'll get $30 for a ring of identical rusted keys. read more

I could literally spend hours going through everything here! There is tons of junk, oddities, treasures, and everything in between. Prices are a bit steep on some things but somethings are just worth it. The owner is amazingly helpful. He knows where everything is, in what seem like an endless cove of junk. It's just mind blowing. Yeya's is just one of those places you have to experience firsthand. read more

This place is my heaven on earth! If you love to junk, upcycle and restore, or if rust is you friend, you will be in heaven too. Random rusty hardware, vintage gears, steampunk galore, old signs, letters, numbers... Way to much to list. The owner is awesome. Met him and told him what I like to create. He showed me all around and made great deals with me on all my found objects. I would've stayed there all day buying things if I weren't flying all the way back to Indiana. He even came after me as I was leaving to give me a couple of other things he thought I might like! TONS of supplies waiting to be repurposed! read more

See all

Had a great time poking around Yeya's Antiques & Oddities. A friend and I were looking for a house warming gift. So many options abound at Yeya's! From furniture to decor to outdoor items, you will have a hard time walking away without a treasure. We ended up putting together a great couple of outdoor flower pots we loved. The folks at Yeya's were very friendly and gave us a great deal! Will be back again for more treasure hunting in the future. The only thing of note is, when going to Yeya's make sure to prepare for outdoor shopping as half or better of their merchandise is outdoors. read more

Greatest and awesomest store in San Antonio. Be prepared to find the coolest stuff in this place. Wife and I love going here and always get something we never dreamed we'd get. That's the joy of coming here. read more

Yeya's is a pickers playground! If you are looking for and ordinary retail merchandise, you have arrived at the wrong place. Yeya's is full of the oddities that cant be found anywhere else. When you walk up to the store front the owner will greet you and help you find your needle in his haystack. Go ahead and dig around there's something for everyone!!! read more

Owner is sweet and very helpful! So is the other young man that works there! You need hours to see everything! Really cool place!

Fun place. I went just to take a look and ended up buying some really cool stuff, including plants. It is a bit overwhelming, like a maze, due to the plethora of mixed items. But well worth the time. I will go again to dig a little deeper into the many heaps of unique items. read more

Really fun to explore every few weeks. Prices can be a bit much, but there are some great finds. Mario is a good guy and fun to talk with. His succulent plants are very healthy and transplanted well. read more

Pricey???? Yeya"s? Mario is as good as it gets- great eye for fabulous finds at give-away prices. Been furnishing my yard, my house, my friends and family FOR YEARS from Yeya's, the only shop of its kind. I'm a lawyer and have never seen anything like the things I have found at Yeyas - I could (and have) spent hours here - never left without something to love. Mario - good health and prosper - I'd rather shop at eclectic, amazing, exciting, unique, fabulous Yeyas than anywhere! I guarantee- it's a must-see! read more

Mario at Yeya's was a pleasure to do business with. There are many treasures to be had here but you must have time to look around. This place is awesome if you are into industrial architecture. I found a great chandelier, a cart that I'm repurposing, great redeaux of a Lone Star beer sign, some great industrial wheels and many other treasures! He's ready to make a deal for serious buyers and the prices aren't bad. You are not going to steal the stuff but he'll give you a great deal! read more

If you are looking for something odd or weird this might be your place. They have everything for projects at reasonable prices Mario is friendly and very helpful. His hours vary but he's always open on weekends. read more

Awesome weird stuff first time in San Antonio and this place was right up my alley. Picked up some strange dental stuff and a few doll parts. Would love to get more read more

This place is so-so. I've been a few times and never found anything that completely wow'ed me but there are some decent items at ok prices. The guys that run the place are pretty cool but there is never anything that I've had to have which is rare because i LOOOOVE to shop. It's worth checking out if you're fond of digging for treasure but arent disappointed if you dont necessarily find any. eh... read more

This place is very cool! Even if you have no intention of buying anything, it is fun to walk through and look at all of the interesting stuff. You can spend a ton of time here and you leave feeling more inspired and creative. The owner is very nice as well. We will be vising this spot again! read more

What! No reviews on Yeyas!? I must say this is one of my favorite antique shops here i SA. Friendly shop owners, and a huge selection of bits & bobs, along with furniture. I recommend this place to anyone, i guarantee you will not walk out empty handed! read more

We absolutely LOVE this place! If you are expecting pristine, then Yeya's is not the place for you; but if you are an artist, crafter, gardener, or any other creative type who likes to discover treasures that can be brought back to life with just a little tender loving care, the you will think you've died and gone to heaven as soon as you walk into Yeya's yard. An example of this: my husband and I spent about an hour digging through pieces of large concrete fountains. We trucked it home, put our mismatched pieces together, put a terra cotta wash on the concrete, added a fountain pump, and now we have a concrete fountain that would probably go for over a thousand dollars easily. We paid less than $100 for the pieces. I love the less-than-perfect stuff that I find there. Mario and Julio are super helpful and always willing to work out a deal. The other great thing about them is that they support local business and artists!!! We never go here and leave empty-handed. read more

Uniquely unique, what fun! And we found the perfect thing for our project. Super nice people, super cool stuff!

Buyer beware. I was cheated. I purchased a ladies Elgin pocket watch. I was told that it was solid 14K gold and that a jeweler had certified it. The owner was unable (or unwilling) to open it. I live out of state. When I returned home, I opened the watch to find that it as only gold-filled. I paid $150 cash for a watch that is worth $25 max. I attempted to contact them through their website, tried calling them and eventually mailed the watch back to Yeya's, but never heard anything. Be sure that what you are buying is legit. I won't shop there again. read more
