Just when you think you've discovered everything, another staircase is around the corner. The pictures available online definitely gave me haunted vibes, and that was the main reason I wanted to check this place out. However when you do get to this charming little shop it feels more like grandmas house in a Midwestern hallmark movie. Like a lot of antique shops, there are individual stalls run by different vendors and you take a self guided tour through the store selecting things you want to purchase. There was a very decent amount of accessories and clothing for sale upstairs, as well as action figures downstairs. read more

I went back to look at their Halloween items. I still absolutely adore this shop. They have several items which are affordable and cute. I really liked the Mickey and Minnie light statue however they are too pricey for me. They have a collection of everything ranging from brand new things to vintage items. There is two levels hence why it's called the basement. Love it. read more

Covid-19 Precautions - social distancing markers - customers and staffs are wearing mask - sanitizers available inside Sue, the owner greeted us so warmly. It's our first time in this place and she made us feel at home. The whole place is just majestic! The setup for different vendors was neat. She even told us that they're going to have a sale this Saturday. Yes! SALE/DISCOUNTS THIS SATURDAY (March 27, 2021) Check this place out if you're looking for vintage or antique finds. read more

I went to the Brick Basement vintage store in Downtown Fullerton for their Fall sale It has 2 levels which includes a basement. What a fun place to buy vintage merchandise. It even has a "Mantiques" section with vintage clothes, military and western merchandise. If you are in Downtown Fullerton, you may want to stop by and find a vintage treasure read more

If you're looking for well-curated vintage/antique items, then The Brick Basement is definitely a place to look through! Upon first walking in, the shop has a very "vintage boutique" kinda vibe, with an easy-to-maneuver store layout and ample enough for wheelchair access on the first floor. However, this shop does have a downstairs floor with even MORE inventory. The place is stuffed & filled with all kinds of vintage items, which may seem claustrophobic to others, but is really so fun to search through! The staff I've encountered here vary in friendliness, but most of the time I've been left alone to simply browse (which is my preference anyway). The prices have definitely increased from when I was last here, so $$ is a pretty accurate depiction of what you'll be paying here for some items. read more

My girlfriend and I love coming here to look for cool jewelry like necklaces or rings. They also have tons of little knickknacks to put around your house. The owners behind the counter are always super nice. They take cash or card which is great for an antique store. If you're ever bored and want to get lost looking at cool trinkets this is the place to be. Might seem obvious but they have a literal basement filled with even more things. read more

This is the cutest antique/vintage shop I've been to. The moment you step inside, the atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. The shop owner was putting out the Christmas antiques when I came in, and that definitely enhanced the charming vibe. I really liked the setup of this shop versus other typical "thrift" stores because even though items are placed around at random, it's almost done "strategically" in a way that showcases the items best. It's not like Goodwill or small thrift store that has a dusty/dark vibe. Definitely seems like the owners take good care to clean and dust items, and it shows. read more

This is a great place to find go treasure hunting in downtown Fullerton. What drew us in was the sidewalk sale. My g/f bought a green vase for $1!!! What a steal!!! You walk in and there were snacks/goodies and drinks throughout the store. Nice touch ;) I'm not sure if they offer this daily, however. There were a lot of patrons here, and it seemed like a popular place to find little nick nacks. Looks are really deceiving here. The store is deep, but there is also a downstairs area. It seemed as though this store went on forever and ever and ever... It was amazing! Happy treasure hunting! read more
