Just found out the earring I have been buying here for 12 dollars are from Temu. They sell for 2.50 there on account of being fast fashion crap. I would assume that a place that is about vintage wouldn't associate with a place like Temu, the fast fashion empire of non-sustainability. Really breaks my heart. I loved this place, I came here for two decades making memories and spending money. Buying all kinds of "treasures". I don't know about any of it because the trust is gone. These Temu earrings were labelled "Numinous Nova" so I assumed they were a maker. Like so many "makers" in the city and on Etsy who I had to finally delete, these are all Temu. I feel pretty stupid for getting caught up in my favourite flower that I didn't take a closer look. I'm not coming back. They don't respond to any negative reviews, only positive. Why not work for a positive solution or at least explain things? read more

Definitely an Edmonton staple! This place is packed to the brim with literal Junque. But like they say... one man's trash is another man's treasure. ;) Definitely not your average antique store. Honestly, you just cannot beat the prices. I couldn't believe I that this bomb ass vintage green lamp was only $36. I went back and bought it the next day because I loved it. Also happy to see Bro Brick being sold in there! I love that they're working with local vendors. They also list events by putting them on the stairs so people can pick up a flyer on their way in or out. I think that's a very cool way to promo. read more

The Junque Cellar - Bro Brick! - Antiques Near Me - Edmonton, Alberta

It seems that every cool town I've visited recently has a fun, quirky thrift/vintage shop that you wouldn't even know was there if you weren't looking closely (or, in my case, had a friend who knew right where it was). Located down a steep set of stairs off of Edmondton's historic Whyte Ave, The Junque Cellar is truly a cornucopia of pretty much everything. From mid-century clothing and furniture to modern books and even a few locally-themed souvenirs, there is truly something for every treasure hunter in this vast subterranean space. I love a thrift shop where I can go from room to room, finding new fascinations with every turn. And this place did not disappoint. Just when I thought I'd seen the whole place, there was another alcove waiting to be explored. I was sad I couldn't buy anything (hello, luggage space), but if this spot was closer to home I would definitely be a regular! read more

I walk in about once a week. You never know what you're going to find. I bought a Danier leather jacket in excellent used condition for $25.00. All of my moonstone jewelry is from here. I have also consigned dozens of items; antiques, furniture and clothing. Never underestimate the traffic flow. Your items will get seen. I always get fair prices for my wares. You need to make an appointment about a month in advance to have your items approved. read more

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. read more

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!? read more

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! read more

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. read more

As I walked down the stairs into the Junque Cellar I didn't know what to expect. In my mind I was gonna see another secondhand store, dingy, with that musty odor all thrift stores seem to have. That wasn't what I got. I looked to my right and saw typewriters. Immediately I thought, "aah this is so cool." That was experience with this store. I found toys that I remember from being a kid (I'm not that old, I don't think), books, just everything. The cake was taken when I saw an empty pop bottle of Happy Pop. Does anyone remember Happy Pop? I never really loved the taste but I remember it, and warm, fuzzy memories returned. I didn't buy anything on my first trip here, but I had fun looking around. Next time I want to find some cool antiques or retro things I'll come back here. read more

This is a must stop at shop whenever I go to whyte Ave. It's located on the lower level near gravity pope and there is a set of stairs to get there (probably not wheelchair or stroller friendly). It does look cluttered & dim at first glance, but feels almost like a garage sale on crack. The creaky floor kind of adds to its charm. There are sooo many different things which are a blend of old vintage/ brand new collectibles to new unique pieces (poison/locket ring) and even retro snacks! They even carry pop shoppe sodas! With the variety of things they sell, there's bound to be something to please anyone. This is a great place for moderately priced gift ideas & there always seems to be something different for sale than the last time. Service here is always friendly & helpful every time I've been here. read more

They have the best selection of Marilyn Monroe postcards in Canada, rare old CD's and movies. Also, best selection in Edmonton of Dr. Who collectibles, telephones, typewriters, patches, games etc. Staff is polite and very helpfull. WOW ! read more

This store on Whyte is easy to pass by, right between Gravity Pope and Blackbyrd Music but downstairs. This is one of my "can't miss it" stores whenever I'm strolling by because there are always new vintage finds to be found. They sell almost everything from books to lamps to furniture and dishes and jewelery and clothes. The furniture is a little pricy for me although if I ever find the piece I've been looking for (a vanity with stool) I will be springing for it no question. read more

It can sometimes get a little pricey down in the Junque Cellar, but remember, you're paying for them to do all the antique-hunting for you and what ends up in here tends to be the cream of the crop. It's hard to leave this shop empty-handed. A recent trip yielded some really cool atomic-age kitchen items: I missed out on the H-bomb shaped salt and pepper shakers but snagged an amazing, sleek 1940's metal spice rack. The owner even took the time to guide a friend and I through the features of a selection of '60s alarm clocks, and his passion for the topic was infectious. Another reason to visit The Junque Cellar - they carry my favourite incense, Satya Sai Baba-brand Nag Champa. read more

I'm glad I was dragged into this store because it's really awesome inside. I ended up going back a few times and buying something each time. I never expected them to accept debit judging by the look of the place, but they do, with no minimum balance or extra fee. read more

The Junque Cellar has . . . a lot of junk. But it also has a lot of cool things hidden amongst the Pez dispensers and hideous used clothing. It's kind of like a garage sale. I do like some of the new items that Junque Cellar has but a lot of the used things I tend to stay away from. It is somewhat exhausting going through the whole store and, yet, every time I go to Whyte Ave, I end up there - funny huh?! You can definitely find some unique things in this store. My dad loves Marilyn Monroe and I always find something for him there (but don't tell him that's where I get it)! It's almost like a portal into the past, walking into the Junque Cellar. They have so many things that are from another time that it makes for good conversation while you are done there. Overall it's a pretty cool concept, I have to admit. If you have the time to browse, check it out! read more

A really cool underground shop with vintage things, books, incense, all kinds of neat stuff.

This is a lovely underground shop on Whyte Ave that I always visit. They've got lots of vintage items along with a bunch of other things. The staff are very friendly and this store has so many items! It takes a while for me to look at all of them. Some of my favourite items are the cat clocks, handmade buttons, and vintage cameras. The prices are great as well! Most items are extremely affordable! I've bought so many buttons from here and my friend buys her vintage clothes from here as well. The staff is very friendly and I prefer this shop to most higher end shops on Whyte Ave. This atmosphere is so charming too! I really recommend a visit. You won't regret it! read more

This store is really unique. If you're into vintage items and can appreciate antiques you will most likely appreciate this store. Even if you aren't looking for something specific you will have a great time browsing this shop. They have old school clothing, retro phones, vintage books, cameras, toys, accessories and much more. It's quite the experience seeing what things were like in the old days. It's even crazier seeing things that you haven't seen in about 20 years, like typewriters. Some of you are too young to even know what a typewriter is. If you are just browsing you might come across something that might be worth something some day. It's quite the experience. read more

Whenever I visit friends in Edmonton, I try to take an entire afternoon just to myself to venture around Whyte Avenue. The Junque Cellar is always on my list to visit. Although it is located in a basement, the atmosphere is very inviting. All of the items seem very intentionally chosen for sale, and I always manage to come out with something. Some of my favourite finds at The Junque Cellar have been these two orange owl planters from the 70s. I also usually manage to find many awesome comic related books for my nerdy friends and little brother which is always fun. They also used to have a great used book section, where I found three first pressings of Kurt Vonnegut hardcovers; God Bless You Mr. Rosewater, Player Piano, and Cat's Cradle. These are still some of my proudest possessions on my book shelf. Thanks, Junque Cellar, you rule, and I much prefer you to all of the tacky novelty shops running rampant on Whyte Ave. (19/30) read more

Gosh. How can you not love Junque Cellar? It has such a great atmosphere and even if you're not going in specifically for something, you'll always find something that catches your eye or interests you. What makes me happy is how kind the staff are here. My girlfriend and I went in on a Friday night, unaware that they closed at 9:30 and ended up staying past then. When I asked the man at the till what time they closed and he replied with the time, we immediately apologized for staying past close and he just said that it was totally okay and no worry! My favourite part is all of the old photographs and post cards on the table- I always look through all of them every time I go. Such a great place with kind staff and good finds. read more

If you want a trip down memory lane or a voyage back to the era that your parents/grandparents grew up this is the place for you. Everything is so wonderful and vintage with bright colours and loud patterns. The teacups are my favourite part, I would like to buy one of each please and then take them home to sip tea in front of my fire place. Part of this store feels like a 1990's garage sale with anything and everything you could ever dream of finding. Hidden gems, and items from your past...who doesn't need a full set of cassette tapes? Pictures of Marilyn Monroe line the walls and hidden in the back is an area of old books that just makes you want to curl up in a blanket and read. I'll definitely be back to the Junque Cellar, you never know what you might find! read more

This is a great little basement shop that has odds and ends from the days of old. They pretty much have something for everyone, if you like items that were around before 1980. I've bought a number of things here and the staff is always pleasant. Good prices too. I don't remember having my jaw drop at something being over priced too. read more

I love this place so much, but geez I wish it was more affordable. That's my only complaint. I do understand though, vintage and antique are pricey due to age, and also how trendy vintage has become. Thanks Society. read more

So far, the grooviest place I've been to in Edmonton They have tons of random little things from jewelry, old postcards, music, clothing, books, house decor and more. I usually spend quite some time looking through everything because there's such a large selection, but it's always very entertaining to look through even if you don't buy anything! read more

Junque Cellar is indeed like a huge garage sale. It is a great place to shop for those who collect antiques and overall enjoy "treasure" hunting. The last time I have been to Junque Cellar was over a year ago, so I decided to refresh my memory of what this store is like, and to see whether the inventory changed. Surprisingly, the store looks the same as it did a year ago. There is the same section devoted to old books; there are same retro looking telephones and photo cameras on the shelves; and there is the same selection of used furniture. Looks like Junque Cellar has frozen in time... I loved several items in the store - the black and white picture of John Lennon circa his New York years, and a vinyl records player. My dad is a huge music fan who still keeps old records from 70s and 80s. I would have bought him the player, if only it didn't look so old and crummy. I flipped through a couple Life magazines from the year 1970, and imagined how these magazines might make an avid collector happy. Junque Cellar is definitely not for everybody but it is a place where one might find something rare and original. And maybe even something that might be worth a lot of money many years later. read more

Talk about unprofessional. I was recommended this place when trying to sell some niche items I had. I messaged them with pictures asking if they were interested. I brought them in and that is when I found out it was a consignment shop. In the exchanges back and forth not once was it mentioned it was consignment. So when I got there I was surprised. The lady couldn't even take one minute to talk to me. Just gave me a form for consignment to fill out. That is when I figured it out. the place was busy but she could have taken a minute to talk to me. When I was unsure about leaving my items she got a pissed off and wanted to argue. It was so unprofessional. I didn't even know this little shit hole existed and I am frequent whyte ave often. I made it clear that I had never been here so I didn't know what it was. I made it clear I wouldn't be back though. What a horrible experience. Since they only give you 40% of the sale, I have decided to slash my price and sell them myself. What a joke this place is. read more

I love the Junque Cellar. I love it with unmatched, vintage, cluttered affection. It is a love that persists through the ages -- much like their items for sale. This basement Whyte Avenue store can best be described as a cross between an antique shop and an amalgamation of at least a dozen local garage sales. Go here to find relics from your childhood, decor for parties themed of decades past, and hidden vintage treasures that any guest in your home will think were purchased at Anthropologie. Everything at the Junque Cellar tells a story, but that's expected at any antique shop. What's unique about the Junque Cellar is the comfortable clutter and friendly staff, which makes you feel like your actually rooting around an ancestor's attic rather than marching through a boutique basement just off one of Edmonton's trendiest avenues. There is something for everyone here, and everything for someone. You need to visit if only for a trip down memory lane, but you can pick up a Marilyn Monroe calendar on your way out. read more

Bought the simplest of things: incense cones and a holder. The ladies at the counter were so blissfully helpful and kind to me, it left me with a lot of love! This shop is such a huge hidden gem; there is something for everyone here! read more
