Fun to browse and I always find at least one treasure to come home with me every time I go!

This is the weirdest place and I love it. Is it organized? No! That’s the charm. It’s a maze of unique sections of consignment goods (one entirely dedicated to Hawaiian shirts), and you can absolutely find hidden gems. Recommend browsing the entire store at least twice — guarantee you’ll spot something new each time.

Got a plethora of wonderful things from this place, and the offerings are so many! With it being set up via individual booths, there’s so many different types of items to find, there’s something for everyone!

A LOT OF NOSTALGIA! This place has a great selection of everything. Was fun to see items from my childhood, old collections, etc. Better to go not looking for anything specific. Staff was not very helpful directing to certain booths/areas.

Huge selection of antiques... But very difficult to get around for anyone who is physically handicapped or disabled.There is a antique freight elevator you ride in to get to the shopping floor of the store itself.. And when i say antique elevator I mean it... Its super old and pretty neat actually.The aisles are not wheelchair or walker friendly... Most of them do not measure the minimum 36 inches as required by federal law (Americans with disabilities act) you cant turn around without potentially ruining something.. And of course, as with any store, if you break it, you buy it. And in the case of this establishment, almost everything is antique and many things unique... So yea.Other than the issues I outlined, the selection of items. Super amazing stuff in there.

This place is great! I had no idea it was there. It’s like visiting the coast and all the cool antique stores out there. Great to wander. I spent an hour or so browsing, vaguely hoping to find the thing I was looking for (you can’t have too much hope going into a thrift store looking for a specific item lol). I was just giving up, when I saw the exact thing I was looking for, plus a perfectly something I didn’t even know I wanted! And it was 30% off at the time ;)I will visit again!

A hidden-ish gem of an antique mall located in the Hollywood district. I say hidden-ish because it is in a building and down some stairs in the basement. This place has tons of great items and generally everything is appropriately priced, cant really affect that, but it isnt like crazy vintage boutique prices. The place is massive and can easily take up half your day to go through! They are also always getting new things, the staff is friendly and helpful (always happy to open a case for you), and its a great place to check out for antique items. There is also some clothing, but it depends on who the vendor is.

Great place for vintage and smaller antique items as well as collectible toys. Each booth is curated by a differnt vendor, so available items change often. Also check out the vintage clothing throughout the store.

Review №24

We stop here on almost every trip to Portland and always find a must have treasure. This trip the blue eye- shadowed cash register girl didnt seem a good fit at the front, didnt seem too congenial or customer service- oriented but she was firm and efficient at expediting our check out. The store itself has a large selection of vendors and thus an eclectic assortment of items. Lots of vintage dishes, whimsical toys, old photos, tools and jewelry.

I love all the different vendor stalls. Weve only bought a few items from here. Mostly we just love walking around and experiencing the history. Each vendor has a specific flavor and theres a bit of overlap sometimes on merchandise, but its all cool, strange, and fun stuff.

Great place! As a vendor and shopper, I enjoy Antique Alley tremendously. It has everything—home decor, vintage and cool clothes, jewelry, genuine antiques, collectibles, and anything/everything in between. You never know what you’ll find, but you’ll find it here.

Best kept secret in Portland. This business is a wonderful step into the past. Enjoy the treasures thatyou remember from generation before us. The staff is very knowledgeable and can give you a little background about what you might be looking for in the store. I will take time to stop again.

I went to Antique Alley looking for something specific , the staff were very friendly and helped to find what I was looking for. Their prices are very reasonable in comparing to other antique stores in Portland. Everything was neatly displayed and well organized. I do recommend the place for everyone looking for that unique item without spending too much. The location of the store is very convenient and Ill definitely going to go back again in the near future.

Review №33

God i love this place. I wish with every bone in my body it was accessible but it is not. Its in the basement of the building and there is a large set of stairs (with railing) that leads down to the store. Its a huge maze-like store filled with dozens of different vendors. Lofts of vintage! nick nacks, dishware, clothes, books, movies, toys, you name it. Staff are kind and the whole place has a lovely old fashioned vibe. Prices depend on each vendor.

We were in town for a business trip and on our last day we decided to check out some shops. We spent hours here, looking through every nook and cranny. There is something for everyone here. We found some great geological artifacts as well as some old tools. There are toys, books, old magazines, collectables and so much more. The staff was super helpful and friendly.

Review №39

A variety of items to choose from in the many different stalls that are fun to seek through. My problem is that each stall is owned by someone and while some have sales, some stuff is just grossly overpriced even with those sales. Looking up items online to get a comparison and I would be way overpaying on these items. No wonder some stuff just sits in between my visits.

Review №51

I just ventured in to this place for the first time today and I loved it! Totally my kinda antique shop. Its not one of those super clean, organized, high-end sort of antique shops. Its the type that borders on being a thrift shop- its jam packed with stuff- fantastic stuff crowded in with junky stuff. Retro, vintage, and antiques all mixed together. I loved it!!! And the two ladies that work there were super nice. My purchases were wrapped up nicely and she even offered to help me get everything to my car. This place will definitely be a regular stop for me.

I really like going to this antique gallery. The reason for the 3 starts is because I came in 2 weeks ago maybe 3, asked about 3 items, was told they are not for sale, then came back a week later and see that one item was sold. Apparently it was for sale.

Fun stuff to look at, but . . .generally the employees do not offer assistance and are not super friendly when checking you out. There is no cell service, so you cannot send photos or look anything up without walking up stairs and out of the building. Only a stairway entrance, minimal parking, restroom not always available in the building.

*Disclaimer* this review is more for the fact that antique alley has no regulations for what their vendors are selling.If you have been here Im sure you have seen the case with star wars collectables, well I purchased a 1985 Droids Boba Fett figure for what I thought was a reasonable price ($500) and upon having it checked out it is the wrong fett stuffed in a reproduced package with a fake coin priced as if it were authentic, this was not an accident by the vendor. And when I contacted antique alley the girl that answered said Sorry youre unhappy with your purchase but its not our problem and they would not give the contact info of the vendor. I dont want someone else to get scammed for a collectable that worth about 1/100 of what youll pay. Antique Alley needs to require this seller to disclose he is selling fake products priced authentic, who knows how many fake products he has stuffed in that case priced for thousands of dollars.Long Story Short: Priced as Authentic turned out to be fake, Antique Alley wont help get in contact with Vendor.

Review №78

They broke one of the toasting glasses I bought and would only refund the money for the broken one. Hard to do a toast with one glass. The clerk had smashed it on the counter and said opps. She was aware, I hoped for the best. Got home to find out that it was broken and was told that I would bve refunded for one glass. I came back and got my refund and tried to reason with them about a full refund. They said I was lucky to get refunded for one. I left the other glass there that I had already purchased and will not go back out of Principle. Go to Montavilla Antiques on Stark to get real antiques anyways.

Review №81

Ive had Reubens all over town. Ordered mine to go, opened the paper to discover a mess of lil bits of thousand island and sauerkraut hanging around all over the place. YES!! This is evidence of doing it right! THIS IS THE PROPER WAY TO REUBEN!! Most folks dont get this; they make them safe and neat, which is incorrect. My Reuben experience here was a blissful wrestling match of ingredient proportions. (However, the price seemed kinda steep, but worth it.) Anyway, the whole place is cool, with lil surprises around every corner. It messes with me when I see 90s stuff considered legit antique.

Had to go back twice on the same trip because after thinking about a couple finds we couldnt leave without buying. Huge variety from different dealers. Underground of the main store so it is initially a bit confusing when you see the storefront window. But just walk in the building where Google has it marked and go downstairs.
