I had such a good time browsing and finding a couple of nice beer glasses...so I brought my wife back to have an excellent lunch in their cafe...and left with a fantastic vintage sign. Will definitely shop here again! And, I heard that they are adding books!Matt was extremely helpful and friendly.

There were some nice pieces, especially Arts & Crafts furniture. I don’t know if it’s because I’m in the city, but I felt most items were way over-priced. I’ve shopped many antique stores with quality pieces for much less. And a few items looked newer in construction than they should have for the age of the item. I hear the food is good though.

The place looks good and the food smells delicious but be prepared for a long wait. We were there one hour and didnt receive our food had an appointment and had to ask for refund. The refund went well and the people are nice enough. But.....

Very nice selection of interesting items, looking forward to eating at Railroad Bills Dining Car. The building just feels so full of character, it makes everything there just seem to fit the space even if the item isnt really from the right era.

Great place! Loved it. Bought an antique Plantation Desk via Ebay from them and drove 150 miles one way to pick it up. High quality antiques in a quaint old horse stable building in downtown Des Moines. Lots of other antique stores nearby and other shopping. Well worth the drive and the guys running the store were VERY NICE GOOD PEOPLE. Next time we will plan to spend a couple days in the area. Thanks for the hospitality!Deb & Gary

Coolest antique shop I have ever been to! Old building, lots of cool stuff, and the interior is just beautiful old wood from the 1800s. Definitely 10/10.

Not a huge inventory, but a lot of nice stuff, most 19th century and primitive.

They just started albums so this could go up. I think they will get better at pricing. I feel its a little inconsistent right now but they will learn. Glad to have another option for albums.

Things were expensive, but worth it if youre looking for some quality antique furniture. People working are nice and courteous. Nice place to just go look at things

Drove all the way here and sign says open by appointment, although Google says open until 6pm. Terrible business practices. Must have worthless stuff.

Its like a treasure hunt through grandmas attic. Grab a bag a free popcorn on your way in. Watch where you step the floor is uneven. Clean bathroom. Nice people.

Your typical antique store with super high prices and very decorative pieces. Not a lot of variety in merchandise and definately not a kid friendly place if your kid likes to touch merchandise.

Place was deserted, I figure its probably because of the very rude and unfriendly man behind the counter.
