    Hidden treasures for sure in this store, make sure you give yourself some time to roam in all the little rooms.

    The owners knew what they were doing when they decided to bring together a mercantile store, florist, and coffee shop.

    Definitely a unique spot right in downtown La Mesa. They have their own free parking lot which is…read morenice. We stopped by before we went to the weekly Fri farmers market. The mall is set up where there are small stations throughout (like a mall) where each one sells their unique goods. There didn't seem to be any pattern to how the store was situated so you never knew what you'd see from station to station. Lots of home goods, toys and memorabilia. Prices were reasonable.

    This was my first time visiting this antique mall, and I absolutely loved the experience. The…read moreprivate parking was such a bonus and made the visit stress-free right from the start. It's also in a super central La Mesa location, close to so many shops and places to eat, which made it an easy and enjoyable stop. Upon arriving, I spotted so many beautiful pieces. I was genuinely excited to see several items straight off my wishlist. The amount of booths is amazing, with so many unique, well-curated finds. I can certainly say, " I blacked out". However, compared to other antique malls, this one is definitely on the more expensive side, which is really the only downside. However, many of the pieces felt special and thoughtfully sourced, and some prices were still very competitive for the quality. There were so many booths with incredible items that I can't stop thinking about. I'm already looking forward to coming back on payday because this is absolutely a place worth revisiting.

I spotted some absolutely beautiful light blue Fenton lamps, a lot of neat 1950s kitchen accouterments and dinette sets, a beautiful and unique dresser, and many more quality antiques - including a manually operated drill (which I've heard work great). Unlike La Mesa Antique Mall, which is mainly focused on knick-knacks, Collectiquity would be a decent place to go for furniture and large items such as antique mirrors - though smaller items such as art glass, jewelry, and other decorative items are well-represented. They carry some items that are on the newer end of "antique" - like the aforementioned mid century dinettes. Prices are reasonable but not rock-bottom and on par with other antique stores in the area. A fun place to browse, as it's more orderly and less overwhelming than the dusty recesses of the average antique mall or junk shop.

    UPDATE: They did NOT close but moved! I was very happy to find this out. Their new location is at…read more8600 La Mesa Blvd, still in La Mesa and they have the same phone number. They also have a Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Collectiquity/159044344128760 My husband and I were super excited to see they relocated as we'll finally be putting our Peter Rabbit dresser to use and are looking for a changing table. One of the owners Michelle was at the store at the time that we stopped in and remembered us as the couple who had bought the Peter Rabbit dresser! It's been over three years so for her to remember was amazing. The layout of their new location is much different than the last. It's large and has different sections or rooms and the way they've allocated the antiques throughout gives the store a homey feel and gives you a good idea of what these pieces would look like in a bedroom, kitchen etc as they've themed each room they have with different room specific items such as kitchen only. We stopped in for a while but I could spend hours in the store looking at everything. Near the counter top at the register look for a stand with homemade sand dollar Christmas ornaments (sand dollars from Coronado) - perfect gift for family out of town who love San Diego. This antique store is definitely one that stands out among the rest.
