They also sell refurbished furniture or take on a DIY project of your own as they sell paint. During COVID19, I have been building a small home alter and Urban Barm has provided some inspiration. I picked up some vintage Black Murano glassware for a Yelp Virtual happy hour in Escondido last, and gifts for a couple friends to stay connected. They have the funniest cards for any occasion. There is always a find here that calls out to you, but get it when you see it as inventory turns over. A place to find something unique at Urban Barn. #Vista #MainStreet #UrbanBarn #NewandUsed #Refurbished

You'll find everything from vintage clothing, furniture, housewares, jewelry, tea, greeting cards. I'm sure there's something for everyone here! Folks have complained about being followed or heavily scrutinized inside. I could see why people might say that, it is a huge space and I'm sure they're trying to deter would be shoplifters. Some of the merchants inside are reasonably priced, others are a little bit more pricey. However, overall, I find that there are much better value than some of the boutiques that line the sidewalks in Oceanside or Carlsbad for instance. I ended up with a couple of air plants, nearly bought a beaded carpet bag type thing, but decided that I don't know when I would use it. They have two other locations in San Diego. Would definitely check them out if I was in the area.

I had originally stopped in on the 20th of April, tried them on, but was short on time, so I returned the following morning and was greeted by Linda who was absolutely welcoming and so sweet.

Took me year's to find "that" overall, which I also go plenty of compliments on.

The selection is incredibly well curated, with the perfect mix of vintage, western wear, and unique accessories. Over the years, my husband has picked up some of his all-time favorite beanies here, and I've found everything from vintage Levi's to a fabulous furry purple jacket that still gets compliments. Every visit feels like a treasure hunt. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the owner is truly one of my favorite people. You can tell how much care and personality goes into the shop. If you're in Oceanside and love vintage, don't miss Ransack. It's a gem and one of our favorite stops every time we're in town.

Cool atmosphere at first. The customer service ruined it all…read more My friends and I came in to look around and see what the store had to offer in terms of clothes and antiques. While we were browsing, the lady at the front kept hovering over us as if we were trying to steal something. It was obvious enough that we actually started laughing about it. Combined with how incredibly expensive everything was, we decided not to buy anything. We did use the photo booth a couple of times, which has about a 3 and 1/2 minute processing time. While waiting for our photos to print and looking through them together, we sat on the couch. There was no one else in the store, and we weren't being loud, rude, or causing any problems. Despite that, we were rudely told the couch was only for customers trying on clothes. Didn't know the couch was a dressing room. It felt unnecessary considering we were simply waiting for the photos we had just paid for and were about to leave. The store has a cool concept, but the customer service made it feel unwelcoming. Greet every customer with kindness. Not everyone who walks into your store is out to get you.

Absolutely rude! I came in looking for specific items and instead of offering assistance I was…read moretreated horribly. I do not spend money or support local when I'm not treated with basic curiosity. Shame on you as a local business for not engaging customers who went out of their way to shop with you and not treat them the way you would want to be treated. Upon reading other unhappy reviews I see I am not the only one that feels this way. I also question the positive reviews because they seem to be for the connected store not their store. This store is out of the way even if you live in Vista. It was not worth the trip, will be not be back and definitely not recommending them. North County is full of locally owned, thrifted, vintage stores no one should waist their time with this store.

The shop is beautifully curated with a thoughtful mix of home goods, antiques, jewelry, candles, spa items, furniture, linens, mugs, coffee, and unique gifts you don't see everywhere else. The store itself is absolutely adorable and constantly evolving -- every visit feels fresh and inspiring. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the quality and uniqueness of the items. The staff is warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful without ever being intrusive, which makes the shopping experience even more enjoyable. I've purchased everything from furniture and jewelry to candles, towels, mugs, and gifts, and I've loved every single piece. Willow Tree is one of my favorite places to shop in Vista and a store I recommend without hesitation. A true local treasure.

Head to the back and you'll find a beautifully curated selection of thrifted gems, from clothes to accessories to unique finds, all at really reasonable prices. This has become one of my favorite Saturday afternoon rituals in Oside. There's just something about the hunt, the vibe, and the little surprises you find every time. Lisa is the best. So kind, welcoming, and a big part of what makes this place feel special. Pro tip, follow them on Instagram so you can keep up with their sales. If you love thrifting and hidden gems, this spot is absolutely worth checking out.

Shopkeeper is a flake. She had a uranium glass jar and offered to me for $18. When I showed her it…read morewas uranium glass. She changed her mind and wouldn't sell it to me because she felt it wasn't enough. Poor business attitude! She took an item in from a consigner at a certain price and then changes her mind once she finds out it's valuable This is a reply to shop owners response: You know you did wrong. you took the item in on consignment and with you and the consigning agreed on a percentage in price. You offered to sell this to me at a certain price. But when I let you know, this is uranium glass you changed your mind because you wanted to make more money simple. How does a vendor get away with offering a customer an item at a certain price and then change their mind just prior to selling it when they find out it's worth more than they want to sell it for.

So it was neat that each vendor had its on cubicle-like space that was unique. We really enjoyed checking out each space and finding so many vintage and unique items. The prices were also reasonable and fair. We spent so much time looking through the place to make sure we didn't miss anything. This entire "mall" was very organized and clean which made it a good shopping experience. As far as service, when we visited on a Saturday afternoon, we didn't interact with any staff/vendor so I can't say anything about that. Overall, a very neat place to find unique items that'll take you back.
