Stumbled across this place while doing volunteer work in the area…read more The name is slightly misleading. This is not a wholesale establishment- this is an antique store filled with items that have been collected from estates. Some people say "one mans trash is another mans treasure." I say 90% is still trash, but it doesn't hurt to look. Everything in here is old. They have a little of everything from furniture to mattresses to glassware to pillows to rusty old tools to collectible sports memorabilia to costume jewelry to Christmas decor to makeup products. Picture everything you've ever seen in your grandparents home and transport it here. This is not my cup of tea, but I totally get that it is for a lot of people. Why the 3 stars? The man behind the register was not wearing a mask when he cashed us out for our $1 rusty tool purchase. The signs on the doors and the floors are appropriate requiring masking and distancing, the employees should have to do the same.

I really enjoyed looking around here. One of my new favorite places. Interesting selection of…read moreantique, vintage and some new. We ended up finding a really nice large bell from 1901. They really don't make anything like that anymore. I also collect glass and found a few nice pieces. Prices are fair. I'll be coming back often.

If you are looking for a selection of high-end antiques, you may want to look elsewhere. Most of…read morethe inventory leans toward low- to mid-range items, resembling garage sale quality but with surprisingly high price tags. Worse than the selection, however, was the customer service. The staff seemed entirely uninterested in assisting customers and preferred chatting with each other. When I finally asked for help, the interaction was unpleasant. I wouldn't recommend this shop.

I live here, like right near this place, so I have to show some love for it. It doesn't get enough business and I'm really worried it will end up closing down. Nice to see all the new reviews being posted for it by people who love it. What's not to love. Sometimes the prices, but all the cool unusual stuff, and the way it brings the community together. Fantastic. The selection of stuff of ALL kinds is really really amazing at Clarence Flea Market. You could spend hours here. We're not talking about a few stands. We're talking awful awesomeness. I'm not great friends with the owners of the whole complex but you can't have everything. Antique World is really cool and there's a lot more to it than meets the eye. Come and check it out and keep it in business. The Bird Feed USA store already went out of business and that place was cool :( Speaking of cool want to see how cool my bedroom is.

Such a cute and well-curated store! They often have decently-priced smaller decor items which is…read moregreat. I love how well-themed it is, almost feels like my Pinterest board come to life! A great option to shop small and support a local business. As a warning, it does basically become all Christmas in late fall/early winter, so if you don't celebrate I would recommend skipping at that time as I wasn't able to find much else sadly. In early fall though they have great fall and Halloween decor options!

You have to pay attention to tags and code and made sure when you check out the discount get applied. My purse and earrings both 20% off. I noticed after I left that she didn't apply the discount on any. I came back and asked for the discount for the bag only. Since the earrings already only $3, I don't bothered. If I happened to be in the area I'll stop again. They do have cool stuff.

It seems the Serendipity Shoppe must have relocated since the reviews of a few years ago…read more Serendipity is not in the Blackrock area. It is located within the First Presbyterian Church at the corner of Wadsworth and Pennsylvania. The entrance is on Wadsworth, but there is parking available via a driveway on Pennsylvania. Additionally, there is handicap access available. If needed, call from the parking lot and one of the volunteers will come to escort you to the code-required elevator. Okay. Now that we know where Serendipity can be found, what can we expect within? At least one serendipitous find. For instance, last Saturday my daughter, just prior to attending a graduation party, found a graduation card there, obviating the need to stop again to buy a card. That could not have been more serendipitous. Okay, okay. Imagine a thrift store and an antique store got married and had a baby. Serendipity? But, of course. You won't find clothing, as a rule. Not saying never, but Amvets and Buffalo City Mission have clothes. At Serendipity you will find collectibles of myriad types, books, jewelry, lamps, dinnerware, pottery, home décor, eclectic gifts. Perhaps a hat. Possibly a shawl. Books are nicely shelved and categorized. Every other thrift store I have been in could take a lesson. I had planned to return and take some interior photos before reviewing; seeing as the location seemed to be in question from past reviews, however, I decided to post now, make the location clear, and return at some later date with more photos. The address above is correct: One Symphony circle. Phone 716-248-0232. ALL proceeds benefit people living with HIV/AIDS. Donations are always welcome -- saleable items, as well as cash. The charity is The Aids Plus Fund of WNY, a 501c non-profit. On Facebook, look for Serendipity Thrift Shoppe. Several photos there, too. And they do accept credit and debit cards, as well as cash.

The place is filled mostly with vintage and antique homewares. It's clean and well organized, making browsing an easy and enjoyable experience. The best part - proceeds are put towards the WNY HIV/AIDS Client Services Program, so your thrifting is supporting an excellent local cause. At the time of my visit, a 50% off sale was going on for the entire shop - I inquired and was told they run these discounts occasionally just to clear stock and make room for new items. The shopkeeper anticipated that the sale would still be going on for quite awhile! TL;DR - very cute little thrift shop in the church basement thats certainly worth adding into your thrift shop rotation. I'd recommend hitting it up at the same time you go for the St Vincent Discount Shop not too far away on Main St.
