This half of the building that houses two separate antique shops is run by an older gentleman…read more There were a few customers that came in looking for specific items while we were there and the gentleman seemed knowledgeable and kind. We chatted about the NY Post he was reading, baseball (nice to have a Yankee fan in Red Sox country) and a little bit of politics. Pretty small store but good variety of stuff reasonably priced. He wore a mask, as did we, but we didn't purchase anything so not sure if hand sanitizer was available. We would stop back.

Apparently there was a sale…read morein every booth even if it wasn't posted, according to the old guy there who I felt back about waking up from a nap. There was one booth that had some cool stuff but other than that I wasn't really sure what I was looking at, how long it had been for sale or what not. It's pretty simple, if you aren't impressed by anything in the window its probably not worth going in. The. End.

Cute space but that's about it. Waaaay overpriced on everything. Some very strange, loud-talking…read morepeople have spaces there to sell their goods, which are mostly mid-century modern, not antiques. We overheard (couldn't help it, since people were basically shouting) everyone's personal business, which was obnoxious. I also was very uncomfortable with how close people came to me while I browsed, and it wasn't even crowded! During this pandemic, the typical rule is 6 feet of distance, but I felt lucky when people were more than 6 inches away. Everyone around was tense and rushed, and the whole experience was tinged with negativity.

We visited this store a few weeks ago after my daughters urging and at first we felt like we were going into the depths of a dungeon. Once down inside the basement where the store is we could not stop looking. Everywhere you turn something catches your eye. Memories from the past as a kid were incredible. I kept telling my wife that my mom and dad used to have this and that. A fun time. The guy Scott knows his items. Very friendly and kind. I must say that we have been in many many shops across the country and I can see the craftmanship and work that they put into bringing these pieces back to life. I am not sure how many workers they have restoring these pieces but whoever does then I take my hat off. You can find some higher priced items if you wish but the low and reasonable prices are everywhere. Some of the wonderful pieces were even less expensive than Ikea. We were just in the area from San Francisco and we will be back around September and I promise that we will be shopping and seeing what they can do for shipping. I will keep you up to date but in the mean time if you are nearby or not far away then you should really check this place out. Awesome. Talk with the guy Scott and I have the feeling he will help you in any way he can. Hopefully he knows shipping also for our sake. This is not a fancy hoity toity store but you can feel at home every minute. This is a good old fashioned vintage antique store. My only wish is that they had more of what I collect such as trading cards , Vintage tools , and certain collectables. Maybe a quick call and Scott can find what I am hoping for and my wife can go off on her antique quest. I almost wished there was a little flea market inside but maybe in the future.

I had a great experience at Route 202 Antiques today. The selection was huge, with some really…read moregreat pieces and a true variety of styles/pieces from different eras. I found the prices to be extremely fair, and I walked away very happy with my purchases. Plus, they take credit (I'm realizing this is relatively rare in the Pioneer Valley/Western Mass). I have nothing but good things to say about this shop -- and I reckon I'll be back within a few days to make one piece in particular (a true stunner, though I can't say what it is) my own.

Immediately when you walk in, you will feel a sense of warmth and good vibes come over you (greenery just does that for me). This is such a wonderful little store. Their focal point is obviously their plants and succulents-- they have a gorgeous selection of mini/succulent babies, air plants, vases and more. They still feel a little pricey compared to the ones I buy in Cleveland, but the store itself is so unique, that if I lived in Northampton, I'd probably purchase exclusively from here. Having visited Northampton a few times now, no trip would be complete without a stop to Kestrel. It's a great place to buy a gift or something special for yourself. They also have modern/dainty jewelry, baby gifts, and high-quality coffee table books. It seems as if they are constantly curating and adding to their collection of lovely items! The staff is always super friendly and helpful and always buzzing with customers. Love!
