The Junque Cellar is where Edmonton stores all its funk and hipness. Located on the lower floor just underneath Gravity Pope Shoes and BlackByrd Myoozik, is a shop bursting with an eclectic array of vintage items for consignment. They've got everything from retro 50's and 60's furniture, books, vintage clothing, shoes, and jewelry, handbags, and toys. One corner is crammed with African masks, Asian, and South Asian textiles. There's even a glass cabinet with Coca Cola memorabilia. It's like going through your grandmother's attic, and discovering your gran was a total globe-trotter with a weakness for impulse buying. Seriously though, I think I saw stuff from my own grandma's garage. Show them your student ID, and you get 10% off. They have stuff coming in every week, so there's always something new. For me, every trip is like a new journey down memory lane.

The Junque Cellar is rather awesome, and I would argue that it's one of the coolest stores we have in Edmonton. A lot of antique stores I've been to are full of junk, but virtually everything in The Junque Cellar is way cool. I have a facination with anything old, so as soon as I saw their selection of old-school telephones, I was in love. I know this is probably kind of lame, but I miss rotary phones, and I love the old-type of telephone ring. I also saw an old typewriter. I would love to have one in my house someday, but I can't imagine typing on one. I used one as a kid, and trying to white-out something was a total nightmare! I had no idea this place had clothing and shoes! There's some really neat stuff here, and some of the shoes are really cool! I saw some crazy old platform shoes that I'd probably fall and kill myself in, but wow, were they ever neat. There's also a room hidden behind the stairs full of old books! It's kind of sad that old books aren't acid-free, so they will all be dust eventually, so we must enjoy them while we can! This place even had old comic books hanging on the wall behind the counter. I saw some really cool Spider-Man ones--I was so in love! I'm kicking myself now, because I really need a new wallet, and I found one there I really liked. I can't get it out of my mind. It was only $15! Why didn't I buy it!?

This has been one of my favourite stores since it opened many years ago on Whyte Ave. I love all things retro so this place fits the bill for me to do some shopping. They even consign items so if you have some stuff you want to get rid of and they have some vintageness to them you may be able to sell some items. I have consigned some items from time to time so I can attest they are very easy to deal with. You will need to make an appointment with the owner though. They are sometimes booking consignments months ahead of time because they have so many people wanting to consign. So if you are in a hurry to consign some items they may not be able to accommodate you. Plan ahead and talk to them though! The items in stock are always changing of course so over time when you go in it is a new experience. They have everything from vintage clothing to retro furniture to dishes, books, magazines, electronics and more. This is definitely a unique shop on Whyte Ave that you must check out!

I really like this store. It is filled to the brim with any antique you can think of, a collection of books on a variety of subjects, clothing, shoes, accessories and house wares. I was searching for a vintage typewriter everywhere with no luck. This place had a small collection of typewriters to choose from! They also have vintage phones, cameras etc. I am not a fan of their clothing selection, but I am sure they appeal to other people. Their bags are pretty nice and they have a good selection of different ones. This space is filled with the smell of incense, which I find a little strong. If you are searching far and wide for a antique, this place should be your first stop.

I would call it an actual tourist attraction. If you are looking for something old or vintage and you can't find it anywhere, give this place a try, if they don't have it they will likely know where you can find it!

I love antiques and interesting things, so we just had to make a trip to see for ourselves. As soon as we walked into the store, I was floored. I just stood and stared, coming just short of jumping up and down and clapping my hands like a kid in a candy store! I knew instantly, this was my kind of place. We were warmly greeted by the owner Alex, chatted for a bit about the business and some of the interesting items he had. We set off to wander around and we were both impressed with the sheer volume and quality of items in the shop. We also noted that the prices were reflected in the caliber of the pieces. On that note, Alex was more than willing to haggle on the prices. They had everything from collections (the Simpsons stuff was wicked cool) to pinball games, toys, oil & gas items/advertising, tins, signs, neon, bicycles, and there's even a Zoltar machine!!! Although we didn't buy anything this time, we'll definitely be coming back. You can check out Curiosity Inc.'s YouTube channel and see them in action!

Visited today after not having been there in a while. I really enjoyed myself and was able to take…read moremy time. I found the entire place to be very well lit. I don't know if in general the lighting in the entire building has been improved or if that was just individual booths and vendors. It was pleasant not to have to watch my step and not stumble over items placed on the floor. Booths were tidy and clean and offered many different items. Items were fairly priced for a variety of budgets. Even though shopping baskets were available I was able to bring my found treasures to the front counter to be held for me while I continued browsing. The young man who checked me out was friendly and carefully wrapped my purchases. I highly recommend checking out this antique mall!

A couple of months ago I asked to wrap a few plates for me to take home, she did but refused to wrap them with bubble wrap or something and didn't pack them properly. I got home 2 km away with a broken plate. This week I went to the market looking for salt/pepper shakers. The market didn't have any bags/baskets to carry items around so I left them at the front. Long story short my items were sold to another person without his or my consent (included in his bill and he didn't realiZe). After confronting the lady, she was super rude and her apology wasn't really an apology. Her comment to me was "this isn't an upscale place or the Bay". I have been involved with antique shops all over Canada for over a decade and I have never encountered such disorganized management with such a bad attitude. I had also never had any of my items, kept at the front, sold to another person. While the items in here can be great I recommend caution with the staff, they just aren't prepared to handle a professional business.

Love this store! If you need or are looking for any decor items, speciality gifts, local items…read more(including sweets!) and/or an assortment of older or antique items or furniture, this is your place. There's even a small cooler with unique drinks in the corner. I started following the shop on Instagram ages ago. So I was thrilled that they are close to my relocated area. The first time I was in the shop was honestly to only grab flowers to brighten a friend's day. Yet, I ended up walking out with an assortment of things - ribbon tape, soap, some candles, hand cream, Edmonton trivia cards, etc. Small but unique or local items always makes good gifts! I love so many things in this store and recommend this place if it's gift giving items you're looking for or even the extra self love/care items. I've shopped here for gifts that I felt I could further customize for friends and family or add to a group gift to enhance the selected theme. The staff is always very helpful when they see me looking at the displays or carrying multiple items (I walk with a cane so I appreciate their concern of I can hold onto something for a time). I've even suggested this place to others to stop at when they come to Edmonton as it's a very pretty store just to pop into quickly for future inspiration. Most recently I've bought myself bouquet filter to fix my seasonal bouquet (sadly the seasonal element to a Christmas bouquet was severely lacking from a different store - people let this be a lesson on you get what you pay for). The ladies suggested some items I wouldn't of even thought to consider or ask for. Some really cool red berry looking thing too. Happily I can report that adding those suggestions plus what I wanted together with the flowers I already had resulted in an amazing amount of virtual complements during the holiday. Plus I got what I really was looking for - that real tree smell in my little apartment! I recently had to reduce the filler in my vase to only the pine. So I can confirm their product lasts a good amount of time or longer than expected. I've brought multiple bouquets and floral items from them in the last couple of years and everyone I've gifted a bouquet has said the same thing. If I could give a 4.5 I would as seriously this place. It truly is a great as a store and the shop for the most part is arranged to give a lots of space to move around. This was before only a few people were allowed in at a time (covid restrictions). They even have the most lovely shop dog. Hand sani out at the front and easy to read signs. It's honestly the parking lot that makes it go down a point. As someone that is mobility limited, I don't enjoy the real life game of frogger. Especially in winter amongst cars entering quickly off the corner of Whyte ave and 96 St into the uniquely shaped and noticeably slopped parking lot. To make things really challenging for drivers (and shoppers trying to get to and from cars), there's one access point parking lot. Lots of times you see people backing up further into the lot or back on the street to get another car out or into the parking lot. So drive with caution, especially when reversing. Yes, there's a handicap stall and a few other spots near the door but that's usually the first to be taken. Especially if it's a long weekend. I don't mind trying to challenge myself from time to time with walking distances but it's the slope in the parking lot that personally makes me nervous in winter due to my lack of balance. The unique parking situation is not the shop's fault. One assumes from the look of the building, the footprint is definitely from the older days. Do keep in mind if you choose to park there, that the lot is shared with Earth's General Store. As you can imagine, being connected to a small and unique grocery store creates a very busy parking lot with usually few people waiting to go inside (due to limited number of customers allowed at one time). So if you can bike, bus or walk over, I would recommend it. Bike rack is located along the dividing wall that leads to the sister store of Maven and Grace. Bus stop is literally as close as you can get for a bus stop on Whyte Ave. I have also noticed the last few months a lot of people parking in the Humpty's lot across the street or along the other side of Whyte Ave (so not to be in the bus zone) and walking over. All in all, the shop itself is awesome to find that perfect gift or brighten your own day with something a little special.

Checked out Maven and Grace today for the first time and I'm super impressed!…read more I found out about this store from one of the products they carry (Worthy Jams....delicious! Check them out too!), and I will definitely be back! When you walk into the store, it's just so beautiful! The products are nicely displayed, it smells wonderful and the prices for items are fairly reasonable. It's not just a store with a bunch of local knick knacks, but they have some unique kitchen supplies, chocolates, body care, beard care, jewelry, etc. I picked up 2 PLAYin CHOC which is like an organic kinder surprise. It's dairy, nut and plastic free and the little toy inside is either an endangered or woodland animal. When I open them, I'll post more pics. And also picked up 2 Karat chocolate bars, and oh my....are they ever delicious! They're a company out of Kelowna and I'm a new fan for sure! They're Pineapple Upside Down is scrumptious and then we also got the Milk and Cereal bar. Both are amazing! If you're in the Whyte Ave area, definitely check out Maven and Grace. A beautiful boutique store with lovely items for everyone!
