I took my daughter and grandkids today, as we are walking around, I heard the lady telling the…read moreyoung employee, "keep an I on them, they are walking around and I feel they are going to steal ". Instead of saying what I should it said, I asked my family to walk out if the store and I explain them. Dear owner, we were not the typical family that you see every day, as we are not white, we are Hispanic and my husband and son in law are white. But I wanted to let you know that we work hard for everything we have, including a nice vacation. Our grandkids worked doing shores and saved enough to get what they want on top of the spending money we give them for their vacations. We teach them value and respect. I could have stayed and confronted the lady, instead I walked away and by doing it, we were the biggest people and I tough them a lesson of respecting themselves and not allowing nobody to disrespect them and mistreat them because of their race. One thing for sure, every time we come back to town, I would never spend a penny on your store. I hope you learn a lesson with this and remember not to be racist. By the way, I am very proud of who I am and where I am coming from, Puerto Rico. I have served this country as well. I read the owner review, two points, at the time of our visit; there were only 2 clients, other than us. Second, clearly I heard the lady telling the young employee, I was just walking by her when she instructed her to look out for us. If there was no intention, there should not be any derogatory comment. Also, get cameras so next time you accuse someone wrongly, you can see. Do not try to sugar coat the reality of the event and the discrimination of the accusation. Do not worry, we don't let situations like this to take our great moments away. Yes, I was very upset as my daughter and granddaughter wanted to buy from the store, and telling them what the lady said was not easy, especially for my 13 year old. But my family time is priceless and we enjoyed the other stores.

We stopped in during THE PANDEMIC on a quiet weekday. I immediately fell in love with some of the framed photography, but like many others, during these difficult times, I'm on a budget, so that was a hard no to spending $150 on art right now. Luckily, when we wandered upstairs, we found less expensive prints of the images so we could frame it ourselves. SOLD. Staff were friendly. And bonus, even through my mask, it smelled so lovely inside.

Salvage Angel is filled to the brim with everything under the sun from textiles, architectural…read moreelements, mid-century bar ware, etc. Seriously- don't wear a bulky coat to this place, you won't fit down the isles! The staff is bare bones & can be very busy at times with set design folks from the entertainment industry. They don't have the capacity to respond to inquiries via social media, so an in person visit is necessary (and lots of fun!). Be patient. Just do your digging and take photos of what you are interested in with your phone. The shop operates in a brocante style (like if you've ever watched Dick & Angel shop for architectural salvage in France on "Escape to the Chateau"). You show your photos to the shop owner Carolyn at the main checkout and she comes up with a price for your selections. I know it seems weird, but when you see the shop you will understand that there is no way in h*ll they could possibly put individual prices on everything. This is not Facebook marketplace and the pricing for some items will reflect this shop's proximity to NYC. The owner's passion and commitment to recycling and repurposing just about everything from a wide variety and time periods is admirable. I was able to find a perfect match for my 1890's porch door thanks to their collection of treasures. Payment is cash or Venmo.

If you've been searching for years for something super niche there's a solid chance you'll find it buried somewhere in here. That being said, this place is set up in a way where it feels like it's not meant for your average antique store browser like myself. This place is designed for house flippers, serious interior designers, and restoration specialists that are either looking for statement pieces or that one very hard to find and very obsolete part that's needed to get a decades old artifact working again. Their system (of having no prices listed) I fully understand based on the magnitude of objects in this warehouse. However, waiting roughly 30 minutes to an hour to get a price on something actively discourages potential sales. Also, as a serious antique bottle collector - I was slightly annoyed that I was not able to view their whole collection since it was blocked off by dozens of snack trays. If you come - treat this place as a destination because it really is!! And be prepared to wait a bit until you figure out what the damage is going to be.

Perfect place to stop in if you're looking for a gift for someone, all while you grab a drink or a snack. I ended up getting a beautiful glass cup with a sunflower design.

We sat in the outdoor seating out front. Definitely would recommend this place and looking forward to coming back if we were in the area.

Walking in here, you can tell it's not like other stores and you can just feel the beachy, summer vibes. Maybe that's just because of the associations I feel between this store and summer vacation, or maybe it's just because that's what this place is all about. It's a bit more expensive than some other stores, but you're 100% paying for convenience. It's one block from the beach and located right in the heart of Lavallette. In my opinion, it's a great place to have in the neighborhood.
