I am a local photographer and Direct Support Professional. During the late summer I take my seniors into this shop and the owners allow for me to use their vendor space as a backdrop. In addition, I have taken handful of the individuals I support for my job as a DSP, and they enjoy spending time in this business and the owners are very kind and respectful to all of the above. I am so lucky to have such a kind and honest local business owners who allow me to utilize their space frequently. If you're reading this and are worried about their 1-star reviews, please understand that most of the time it is because people try to palm the smaller items as this IS an antique shop. However, this business has cameras, and anytime potential thieves try that they get caught and come to the internet to fabricate lies to collect what's left of their ego after the owners chose NOT to get police involved, which they are totally within their right to do. Thank you Engelberg Antiks for making Salem less boring! read more

Such an amazing collection! The owners are so kind and fun to talk to. They showed us an amazing very old automaton watch with a surprise in it! Great selection of quirky objects I highly recommend stopping in! read more

Engelberg Antiks - Amazing lamps! - Antiques Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Genuinely a staple of downtown Salem, but it has its flaws. I never faced discrimination for looking around at items in the store (or being treated like a thief) as mentioned in other reviews, but I've also only been inside a handful of times. Many hidden gems here from genuine y2k clothing, metal music cassettes, and uranium glass thingamajigs. BUT I will most definitely not be going in anymore. I've started to notice a few of their sellers are openly selling newly bought fast-fashion, AI generated artwork, and 3D printed slop toys. Especially from one seller I noticed an egregious amount of brand new fast-fashion "alternative" clothing and AI art key chains with art that doesn't even make sense. That's the opposite of "Antik." read more

Absolutely do not recommend shopping here anymore after a horrible interaction. I had my family member from another state anticipate going here because of how much me and my girlfriend loved shopping here. Right as we walk in, per usual we hand them our shopping bags from another store. We then proceed to shop and my cousin not fully knowing their rules still had a toy he bought from the GameStop in the Salem Center. The woman at the front desk rudely accused him of it being an item from their store, which we can back up if needed. Then after we found items and I went to try on something, my cousin and girlfriend overheard them saying something along the lines of if we don't fess up or admit to stealing a single sticker, they'd post us three on instagram. Then once I went to purchase my items, the man behind counter, after checking my items, tried to confront my girlfriend which was absolutely uncalled for. Over a sticker!? We all said we'd gladly empty all our pockets and her purse if that would help ease their minds. They then said it wasn't needed, to then saying that they just can't find the sticker she was holding. So we all go downstairs and find the exact sticker my girlfriend was holding, and the woman just said "Ok" To which my cousin said to call the police if she's so worried about something being stolen. At that point I grabbed my stuff off of their counter to see my girlfriend bawling her eyes out in embarrassment for what these people have accused her and my cousin of doing. Absolutely will not be back here and will tell every one I know that they are not an accepting establishment and to not waste your time and money there like we unfortunately did. read more

I can honestly say this is one of my favorite stores in downtown Salem. The owners are so nice and they always say "Hi!" when I come in. Its always so genuine, and they are so amazingly knowledgeable on things. Any question I have they either know the answer or are quick to find out the answer for me. The store is clean and well organized. It definitely isnt like some stores where you feel like you're wading through a dust bowl. The floor staff are incredibly kind and helpful as well. I love that the floor staff asks if they can help, and are quick to grab any unwieldy items so that I can shop easily and hands free. The variety of items that I find are always amazing and and always changing. I never know what Im going to find and I always go home with some amazing treasures that I didn't know I needed. The takeaway from this long winded review is this: EngelbergAntiks is my favorite downtown store and you won't be disappointed in popping in. Make sure to tell John and Nancy "Hi!", and make sure you have plenty of time on your parking meter. You're going to need it if you want to see everything in the store. read more

Engelberg Antiks - Check out this Japanese tea set i found. If its still there on payday, its mine! - Antiques Near Me - Salem, Oregon

As a 15-year-old customer, I was asked to leave the store after moving a chair. I was unaware that the location operates as a vendor shop with multiple sellers and assigned stalls for specific items. At no point was this explained to me prior to the situation. The employee contacted the manager without first speaking to my friend and me to clarify what had happened. The interaction made it seem as though we were intentionally causing trouble or being disruptive, which was not the case. We had no intention of disrespecting the store's policies and would have appreciated the opportunity to understand the situation before being asked to leave. read more

Best antique store in the Salem area with tons of booths with vintage, Depression, Mid-Century Modern, Pop Culture and more. Knowledgeable staff and vendors. read more

I did not like the cashiers attitude when I first walked into the store. I've never been to this place before, and asked if it was an antique store, and the lady scoffed and replied "uh yea" not a very good impression. I definitely don't need to be treated poorly because of whatever is going on with her. I spent no money, and left the store. Hopefully whoever was working the register can recenter herself, because it left a bad taste in my mouth. In response to your comment, I looked at you square in the eyes as I walked out of your store. That's because you were so kind to hand me my bag when I had asked for it on the way out. You were rude to my daughter. I get it, you might be having a bad day and deal with theft, I'm sure of that. You don't have a right to project that on other people, or customers. My behavior was a response to your mistreatment and misjudgment of character. Maybe next time you'll be a little kinder to strangers who aren't there to cause trouble or harm to anyone. That bag was in the walk way when I went behind your counter to grab it. I did ask for my shopping bag, that's when she said it's behind the counter, you can go grab it. How she spoke to me in my opinion, was rude. Not to mention, she ignored me when I asked how her day was going. So, you think your poor customer service is justified because we missed seeing the sign at your door? Okay. We aren't unreasonable people and I do listen when someone is talking to me. There's no sense in arguing points on yelp reviews as to who's right, or wrong in this scenario. I had a bad experience in your store, and seeing how you responded to my feedback is more proof that it's not worth shopping there. So much for valuable feedback and customer service. read more

This is one of my Happy Places in Salem. When work feels too stressful or my neighbors are too annoyingly noisy, yes, I resort to shopping therapy, and there's no better place for shopping therapy than Engleberg Antiks. When family and friends visit me, I ALWAYS take them here and they always love it. There are two floors filled with numerous booths of endlessly interesting "stuff", with enough variety to offer something for everyone's unique and eclectic tastes. First off, let's talk about the owners AND the previous owner. From what I have learned, she was a legend and a groundbreaker in the Salem antiquing and vintage retail world. Ask the current owners about her if you want to hear some very interesting Salem history. And the current owners are great. They are clearly hardworking people dedicated to providing great quality and variety and are a huge part of what makes downtown Salem great. The current owners always cheerfully greet everyone who walks though the door and offer helpful info. Next, the consignment booths. There are so many! Some have really great prices, some are a little high, but everything is priced well within reason for provenance and vintage and condition and so forth. And the goods! As you can see from the photos I have posted of just SOME of the many fun items me and my fam have found at Engleberg, there's a strong offering of midcentury modern, along with rustic antiques, some very cool "goth" stuff (CIA booth), LOTS of vintage clothing (I got a retro pink leather jacket here that is AWESOME), 1970s retro items, tons of old vinyl LPS, old china, tools, and art of all mediums including paintings, posters, sculptures, etc. And the art! They have curated an excellent collection. Check back often! The items in the booths are constantly changing! Lastly, when I was last there, they suffered a major theft from a grifting mom teaching her two minor daughters how to be lowlife shoplifters. The owners were unmistakably upset, frustrated and sad. They don't deserve this. This is why some stores in downtown Salem have closed, and why "we can't have nice stuff". We DON'T want to lose this place from downtown Salem. I highly encourage you to visit their store and take your time enjoying--and hopefully buying--some of the many well-curated items! read more

Been here a few times and have found a few cool things. It's a store full of booths, each booth has a different set up/different specialty. Lots of randomness. Some booths (mostly downstairs) think pretty highly of their inventory...the prices are insanity. You can for sure tell which booths have people who care and which booths nobody checks on. read more

Love this place. They had Fenton, Pokemon cards, baseball cards, Funkos, toys, albums. Great vintage and collectibles place. Two floors. It's larger than it looks from the outside. Staff are helpful and very nice. read more

Owners are very welcoming and kind, Each section has something interesting and the prices are very reasonable and there is always something new when we visit! read more

I brought my visiting daughter and her boyfriend to Engelberg's for a fun day of shopping and we all loved it! We all found unique treasures and when we left, the owner gave us a beautiful amethyst rock for a gift. This store is a marvel, with vendors from every era...it's an experience just to walk through it, but I guarantee you'll leave with something AMAZING! A local treasure!! read more

We came here looking for treasure. This place is located downtown. It's a huge inside two stories. It had a little of everything. It's very clean inside and there was a ton of things for anyone of any age. This store was a true gem. Everyone in my family left with something. Definitely a must stop shop. read more

The girl at the register seemed nice when we walked in, but ignored us when we asked how she was. Not only that, she asked to take my bag which most likely is because of theft, I completely understand but when we went to get the bag the lady behind the counter had a rude tone and told me to pick it up from behind the counter, normally i'm a very understandable person but had she been even slightly nicer, or maybe even helped grab it, this all could've been avoided. Was told from the next door over that she had been dealing with theft, which is once again, understandable, but wasn't exactly professional. Keep your emotions in check when working. read more

The employees were very helpful and there is a ton of great stuff. It looks tiny from the street, but it is HUGE inside. I love shopping historic downtown Salem! There are so many great shops like this one. Locally owned, family run, and a comfortable vibe. Highly recommend! read more

This place treats their customers like criminals. The lady and man from behind the counter were following me and my cousin around and we overheard them talking to each other on the radio about us. We have never stolen anything in our lives and didn't deserve to be discriminated against like this. The woman started yelling at my cousin, and the man told us to never come back. Which is fine because I will never spend anymore of my money there again. read more

So many things here! From all eras! Recommended for those who like to go treasure hunting for any kind of oddities and antique. Even for those who love childhood nostalgia. read more

Love this Gem of a store. We recently found this store on our recent trip to Salem and are already planning to go back soon! Great support Staff also. read more

Scored some awesome antiques. Bought a non working "wall hanger" vintage double barrel shotgun. Not wanting to walk down the street with such an item in hand, the two gentlemen helping us suggested pulling around to the back alley, stayed open a little bit late to accommodate our purchases, and helped us load. Very nice, professional, and helpful. A huge 2 story building worth of awesome items. Definitely stop by if you're in the area! read more

This place is amazing! The staff are very helpful and kind and everything is just wonderful there, it is clean, there is so much to look at and the prices are more then fair! I went just to look and I left with a beautiful antique taxidermy piece and some jewelry for less then 60$ I definitely recommend this place and I will definitely be back! read more

Well, they are a bit expensive but not compared to most I've seen in other towns such as Astoria. They have a huge selection one of the largest in the area, the staff is quirky and helpful. The furniture in the basement is rad, expensive, but rad. They have school desk and plenty of 1940's era furniture. This town needs more of things like this, interesting, fun, and unique shops! It's bad enough that people under 40 have to live in Salem, please open more stores like this! read more

I was just in the store and they aren't enforcing mask wearing among staff or customers. Female clerk had mask hanging off face with one side around ear and male clerk had on a face shield (those work of we had a pandemic of spitting but it's in the air idiots)! Two customers right by the front without masks at all. Very inconsiderate. read more

Engelberg Antiks - Super 8 camera - Antiques Near Me - Salem, Oregon

im a jewish teenager and i honestly find writing reviews pointless but i honestly cannot fathom why they have some of the items they have so here i am writing a review. I was in the store today with some friends amd me and one friend got yelled at for being behind something that was out of view of the cameras, we were just looking at some dolls behind a shelf, we as well got yelled at for throwing things and being disrespectful i was walking around with a bag i was going to buy slightly swinging it and my friend was pretending to play with a doll we were acting like normal teenagers but apparently thats not okay, they also sell items from nazis and WWll as-well as some very racist and other very offensive items the woman at the counter was the one who yelled at us as me and my two friends we're leaving the store the same lady gave us the dirtiest side eye and straight stare. read more

What's not to love about an old antique store full of different vendors with lots of goodies from real antiques, mid-century, funky collector stuff, furniture and records. Friendly staff and owner! read more

Nice store; however, beware of buying vinyl records. I purchased 2 with prices at the high end for vinyl. One skips repeatedly. When I called the store within a couple of hours of buying I was told no return or exchange. Definitely a significant gamble to buy from this store in terms of quality, price and return policy read more

Visited over the weekend, under NEW ownership and opening after Covid. So much more clean and organized! Incredible selection too. They have added vendor space downstairs. Under previous ownership, downstairs was filled with lots of furniture that just sat there and piled up. Really nice to have the additional downstairs space put to better use. Friendly and helpful staff. Can't wait to return! read more

I love this place. I go every few months because the booths don't change too often, but I always find something incredible. Have found a lot of valuable clothes priced really reasonably, like a dior skirt for $18! best place for unique presents. read more

Stopped into this place earlier today. The staff was so nice, a really nice experience. Could have spent hours going through everything! Very reasonable prices, and I am so happy with my purchases. We were the tired looking couple who bought the record and the ceramic figures. Hope your store is holding up during this odd time. Thank you for being so nice ! read more

A million-booth paradise of junk. Another 'just because it looks old' "antique" store. Meh. I may return sometime without my babe to look downstairs. No elevator, so not stroller friendly. read more

A place for all sorts of curios. Great stop for record-collectors as well as for folks looking to improve their fine china collections.The variety of booth vendors provides for a line-up of antiques from all parts of Oregon. read more

As I no longer live in Salem, I twice called requesting to purchase a gift certificate and was told it is not their policy to allow purchases over the phone. So much for a gift certificate for my niece this Christmas. I will not shop here again. I miss seeing Henri at Engelberg (and the fudge occasionally sold in the side room!) but Henri is part of my childhood experience of this shop and that experience no longer exists. If you go further North I suggest Stars Antiques in Sellwood/West Moreland in Portland, Oregon. They are worth your time and worth the trip. Any trips I make North will be focused on Stars. Engelberg is no longer worth my time. read more

They sold me bootleg Legos and wouldn't offer a refund only 3 days later. Never going there again.

Love this place. The staff remembers my husband and me every time we go in. They're nice people. This place has price points on both ends of the spectrum. We don't always buy something but I just love looking at old things. read more

AVOID!!! The manager and a male employee of this shop are disgusting and inappropriate. They creep out female customers and make crude sexual remarks to younger women. The two times I have shopped here I have been extremely uncomfortable. I will not be shopping here ever again, and will be telling others to avoid as well... read more

My regular go-to antique shop in Salem! It has an impressively extensive collection with high quality selections, and I am always pleasantly surprised with something beautiful or unique during my visits. Pricing is also very fair. I'd say that their customer service is so-so - I had some pleasant and some unpleasant interactions. read more

Simply an unpleasant experience. I approached with estate questions and was made to feel unwelcome.

Rather large place. I go in here maybe once a year -- and all the items/booths never seem to change. Seriously -- same stuff for the past quarter century. In the basement there is furniture...so of it cool -- but its a bit overpriced. Anyway, on the main floor -- there are booths of antiques...and the floor is easy to walk. It's never busy inside, so that is nice. read more

I stop in here maybe once a month. You never know what you're gonna find. Many of the booths look as though items never sell. I love browsing the basement of furniture. Sometimes you can find a really good deal. The customer service is great. A little bit more expensive then other similar shops I've been to, but its by far the best in Salem. read more
