Long Beach Antiques recently moved into the old Joann's space on Los Coyotes Diagonal, and wouldn't…read moreyou know it - serendipitously, I dropped by for a visit the day that happened to be their grand opening at the new location! Ventilation is much better here compared to the warehouse from before, and they've taken care to add some fun murals throughout the store. It's possible they put the popcorn machine away for the event, but I'm hopeful the next time it'll be back by the entrance; it's a staple! My main critique with the former space was that much of the costume jewelry and trinkets were behind glass. Part of the fun of antiquing for me is being able to touch, feel, and engage with historical pieces - it seems like the new setting has solved for this. I found a fantastic tapestry finger purse from JR Miami 1950s-1960s for $20 (one of the ladies who works there told me she nearly bought it that morning) and a sweet $3 footed teacup I'll upcycle for my plant collection, I recognized some of the booths, so I'm glad they were able to move with LB Antiques. If your dog is well-behaved, they are also super dog-friendly here and your pooch will have a field day sniffing all the textiles and curios. My only remaining gripe - and it was a gripe when the space was still Joann's - is the parking can be gnarly getting into! Between the pub and Pilates, the plaza can get pretty busy and the parking spots need to be repainted,

as someone who is still mourning the loss of joanns fabric, but also loves antique stores, when i…read morewas driving past and saw a new store opened in place of my beloved fabric store i knew i had to go in and see what had become of her. i will say they definitely have a bit of everything and have really filled every inch of the space, i barely scratched the surface on my visit. i was also impressed with there collection of uranium products as i've never seen it in person before. this is about where the good part of the review ends for me. while i would say the sheer volume of definitely was a bit overwhelming and the actual product seemed like it caters to the neighborhood/ lakewood which is fitting, but also i might be scared i would find some questionable things while searching too deep in this store, but at the very least i would say i am not the target audience. additionally everything i picked up seemed to be pretty overpriced compared to other antique places in the area. as far as the actual experience goes, i would say subpar at best. when we walked in we made eye contact with the ladies working the front and said hello, but they just ignored us and looked away. a while later we were looking at an area near the front of the store and a worker was grabbing something from a door nearby and looked visibly annoyed like we were in her way but didn't say anything so it was just an unpleasant interaction. with all this considered, we decided to just leave and not get anything so i can't speak on what the checkout experience is like. overall i'm glad that i stopped in to see what's become of the place, but i can't say that ill be coming back. rest in paradise joaan's i miss you every day

Nothing is too expensive either, considering how old and great quality a lot of the stuff is. The staff is always kind and helpful!

It's so much bigger inside and filled with epic treasures from vintage dishes to beautiful furniture pieces. They have a great outdoor section and inside, so many unique pieces to please most any thrifter or antique lover. Beautiful open, organized layout to roam around and very friendly, helpful staff. My quick "I'll just check it out," turned into an hour of thrifter heaven and a few beautiful pieces that now grace the walls and shelves of my home. Prices are fair, depending on vendor; their merchandise is good to high quality. They also played awesome 80's music to enhance your shopping pleasure :) I forgot to snap pics because I was too overwhelmed with excitement, but added a shot of my favorite piece on my wall. We, (my debit card and I) will DEF be back!!

You pay $10 to get in and can hang out as long as you like. I believe it's around 800 vendors. Home good, cameras, clothes, plants, paintings and so much more.... worth the trip at least once. Oh and bring an umbrella, big brimming hat and plenty of sunscreen.

Entry: $10 per person Here are my first time impressions: Size: 5/5 a large, maze-like exhibit. Multiple vendors said it's usually across the street (under construction) with even more vendors. The fence gate obstructs at least half of the market from view from the entry area. Food/Drink: 2/5 there was 3 food trucks and 1 table. Mexican food, plain coffee, sodas. Burgers/American. Acai bowls, juices. Table sold beers. I was expecting more. I'm wondering if this is considered typical, as it seems more respectful for more serious sellers or buyers? To combat my dehydration and sleepiness, I went for a plain coffee and a Diet Coke. I don't recommend eating here go find a better restaurant in long beach and eat before/ after! Bathrooms: They installed portable AC! The toilets next to the food trucks were clean and cooling inside. The Shopping: 4/5 Flea markets will continue to be a unique experience for me because it's visually overwhelming to mentally process and sort through everything you're seeing! They have artwork, jewelry, an overwhelming amount of trinkets, clothing (mostly vintage and band fashion), electronics (one store was entirely cameras), decor, handbags, kitchenware, comic book items, and more. The clothing, handbags, and other wearable items can be used, new, or handmade by the vendor. I think it caters to the whole family though it's more like demographics are mid age women, then women, then children, then men (from my untrained eye). It's a confusing place if you don't already have a strong grasp of your personal style and preferences. You'll likely spend a lot of time just trying to understand what everything is. I looked at alot of clothes but nothing spoke to me. It sounds obvious but you should bring a hat and/ or sunglasses, and your water bottle. I didn't do either... I rolled out of bed and went with my friend here.

But what I love most about ABTB, is it's proprietor, JR..This dude must be 6ft 11in, 275lbs,(looks like a linebacker for the Browns!) but he is all mushy,gooey marshmallow on the inside and never backs down from a good negotiation!!! This place is easy to miss, its on 7th street, just west of big lots, on the north side of the street. It's kinda tucked between an apt. and a tailor..It is worth looking for.

This shop has a very cool vibe. It looks small from the outside, but it's a long store. It feels…read morelike it must have been a house at one time with all the separated, small rooms. It even has an outdoor area that could have been a backyard. When I first walked in, it felt like I was stepping back into the '70's. A lot of brown and orange hues. Once you pass the front counter on your left, you feel like you're stepping into someone's living room. There's a couch, coffee table, dial television set, and the record player is blasting '70's music from their collection of vinyl. The first room on the left sells clothes, plants, etc. The second small room next to it has a large picture of KISS plastered on the walls, between the selection of boots and jackets. If you keep walking towards the back, there's a room to your right where the record player is. After exiting that room, you walk into the main room and a large selection of vinyl for sale near the back. They sell used and new merchandise. Everything from used clothes to new jewelry, paintings, artwork, and everything in between. Like I said, there's a large outdoor patio where they sell patio furniture, pots, plants and other outdoor decoration. There is really a lot to take in, and everything is affordable. I saw something I liked that cost $9.50, but I asked myself where I was going to put it. The gal at the front counter was friendly. They take Apple Pay. Parking: Plenty of free street parking in the neighborhood.

Goods on Orange is this great vintage shop! And yes, this business should be categorized as GREAT…read more What they offer is all kinds of vintage items. You want clothing, they've got it. Jewelry, yup. You want trinkets, they've have it. You want truly unique art items, they have them, as well. You want an incredible selection of vintage LPs, they offer it. They have a little bit of everything, and it is all truly curated and unique. Located on Orange Avenue, in the Eastern section of Long Beach California, this business is a little bit off of the beaten path. It's actually a truly unique neighborhood. Though it's basically a residential area, there's a number of unique businesses right around Goods on Orange. So, you can easily grab a meal, or a coffee, or a little bit of something else once you come to the area this business is located within. Once inside, you are overwhelmed with a plethora of all kinds of everything. It's truly a visual experience to walk into this business. They have a lot of great everything. I can't say that enough, because you truly never know what you are going to find when you go in. The staff here are all super nice, so if you have any questions, they're happy to help you out with whatever they can. In terms of pricing, they're very fair. Sure, you can maybe find cheaper prices at a thrift store. But, at a thrift shop you're never guaranteed that you're will find the best of the best like is available at this business. And, that's what this shop offers, the best of the best. In terms of parking, street parking is your best bet. On weekends, you may have to walk a little bit, because, as stated, there is a number of other businesses directly surrounding Goods on Orange. But, it's a good way to get your steps in. Overall, if you're looking for that unique gift, that special something for yourself, or that something you never knew you needed, this is a great place to find it.
