My office is doing an Alice in Wonderland theme with Christmas and I was looking for a teacup and saucer. This store had quite a bit to choose from. Phil was quite helpful and the prices are a bargain for the antique. The teacup and saucer I bought had 24K gold painted lines. I browsed the rest of the store out of wonderment to see what other hidden treasures were preserved over the decades. He showed me dishware made of uranium. They glowed green under the light. He explained the dishware were made in 1888. After they learned uranium was dangerous, no more dishware were made. Whatever you find will only be for collection purposes. He has a good amount well kept as pictured along with other blast from the past cameras for the photographer aficionado. Stop by and see if you find something worthy for your taste in decorating, staging and collecting. read more

I stopped in as I was hunting for glass cabinet knobs to use in my home renovation. Phil kindly directed me to a box and chatted me up as I dug through their selection. He is a truly wonderful individual and made my shopping experience even more delightful. I was able to find some gorgeous glass knobs and after taking them home to clean up, am so excited to install them! As a surprise bonus, they have a small selection of uranium glass and I was able to pick up a beautiful set of coupes to add to my collection. This was probably the smallest antique shop I visited that day, but is also the one where I found the most items! This shop is about half a block over and slightly apart from antiques colony but is definitely worth a stop. Hopefully Phil will be working and you'll be as charmed by him and his father's shop as I was! read more

AAA Rating !! This is the gem of a Antique shop you always wish to run across. Kinda of hidden gem. It's real and been in the same place for years. I simply LOVE treasure hunting here, and have spent hours !looking and talking with the proprietors. I not only shop but have also sold a few antiques and traded on a occasion. It's honestly a delightful experience not your commercial type antique shop. Stop in, I promise you will enjoy doing so. Time well spent. read more

I purchased an antique table and chairs from Phill on Facebook marketplace. He was prompt in his responses and was very kind. When me and my partner picked up the table it was in good condition, there was some wear on the chairs which was to be expected. We really appreciated how easy it was to communicate with him and how kind he was. We definitely recommend this antique shop. read more

Stopped in hoping to find a hidden gem--and I did. I came across a rare mug that instantly reminded me of my gram, which made the visit even more special. The store clerk was incredibly kind and had a great sense of humor. Highly recommend stopping by if you're looking for something unique and one-of-a-kind. read more

FABULOUS! Oh my! This is THE place to go! To be! Delightful owner, Philip, has such unusual items! Reasonable prices! He is open to a bit of bargaining! So much FUN! Don't miss out on this shop! read more

People so appreciate the expertise and attention they get from the owner and his son, I am not going to break their streak by leaving anything other than a five star review, but I have to be honest: I found the three-star shop to be small, hot, cramped, and junky. I found Memory Lane forgettable. read more

absolute gem! Phil and his dad keep a wonderful shop with so much trinket antiques. very much inviting and warm :) I picked up a watch this stop around, i'm already too exited for my next visit. Phil's a sweetheart! read more

First time here and I'm already in love. Philip (owner's son) was so kind and knowledgeable about antiques. I fell in love with a pair of sunglasses that were stuck at the bottom of a rotating display and he patiently fished them out for me with a pair of long surgical scissors and then gave me a discount on them. My partner Caleb and I had only planned to be there for a short amount of time, but we stayed for close to an hour and a half because there was so much great stuff and Philip was so personable with lots of entertaining stories to tell. Check out this hidden gem! 11/10 read more

Nice shop, great mix of furniture, textiles, jewelry, art and collectibles. I was on the hunt for Taxco vintage jewelry or Native American sterling items. Not a huge amount this style jewelry to look at, but I did find two pendants that I fell in love with that were a good deal. The gentleman working the cases opened several for me, was very sweet and patient. Will definitely stop by again when traveling to San Jose. read more

I was on the hunt for something unique and special that spoke to me. Lost lots of jewelry in a fire and starting over. Found Tony's shop and had a great time as well as finding 2 unique pieces of jewelry. I was greeted when I walked in which many other places don't do. Tony was kind, helpful and the prices were reasonable. Then ventured to the other 2 antique shops doors away. No comparison. Not greeted nothing special and didn't feel drawn to anything. Also, there prices were much higher. Thanks Tony I'll be back. read more

Such a great selection, and great prices!!! I had so much fun looking at everything with my sister. The owners (father and son) were so kind. Can't wait to come back! read more

A hidden gem in San Jose. A plethora of vintage finds. This store has the best selection of vintage film cameras in San Jose.

One of the few - very few - real antique shops left on San Jose. Clean, organized, knowledgeable staff.

What a great store with a ton of items from across the decades, I wish I had more time to browse through every nook and cranny on this trip, so I'll be back! So many items brought back memories of my childhood! Philip was wonderful to chat with, which also made this a great experience. read more

Nice store, friendly store owner, reasonable prices. Nice selection of vintage hardware and woodworking tools.

Gosh where do I begin? My husband and I are on vacation and wanted to browse old vintage items and had gone to a few antique stores in the area. This was the one store that actually had so much stuff we couldn't stop saying "Wow". We spoke with Phil who was more than happy to spend time and talk about the stuff we were interested in. Amazing collection and friendly service that makes you leave feeling like a million bucks. Left spending close to $250 and have no regrets but smiles on our faces. Thanks again! read more

My wife and I are avid antique collectors. We are glad that we stumbled on this store. The owner, Tony was very helpful and friendly. He knew his antiques and knowledgable. We were looking for a very unique style and he talked to us for a while to find out what we wanted and was able to guide us to exactly to what we were looking for. His prices were very reasonable. His collection is vast and unique. Based on above, I would recommend this store to anyone that has any interest in collecting. read more

~ I don't know how I managed to live in San Jose for 15 years (and the Bay Area my entire life) and not get to this store! What a gem... I just happened to walk in and find the most amazing piece that was calling my name. (A table that had been re-purposed from a wood-burning stove, I'd guess....? I'd love to share a picture, it's just beautiful.) It hadn't been marked with a price, and as I waited to hear what the damage would be (because I knew I had to have it) - I was imagining it would be several hundred dollars .... turns out it was too big for the space and the owner was happy to have me take it off his hands for $45. $45. I seriously thought he forgot a zero at the end. LOVE, love, love this piece - and this place. I'll be a return customer for sure. read more

I am mainly interested in antique glass and was looking for some nice decoration for my fireplace mantel. Tony has a good selection of Czech antique glass and I was able to pick a pair of candle holders at a reasonable price. Highly recommended. read more

Such a hidden gem! :) I was out to lunch with a friend and we happened to try the pho place next door to this shop. As soon as we saw it we decided to check it out after lunch, I am in the market for a typewriter so I figured it was worth checking :) There was all kinds of great stuff- beautiful cross pendants, pocket watches both male and female, a whole tub full of little antique tea spoons! And I asked about a typewriter, not really expecting to find a viable option- but I did!! He had almost the exact one I was looking at on ebay for a comprable price, and an even more rare company! Perfect!! And Tony, the owner, is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, really a lucky find! You can tell just from reading his bio on Yelp that he is very passionate about what he does! Such a great shop :-) read more
