Very cool and friendly place to visit. Dont miss out antiquing at this shop located on State St. Down town Sata Barbara. Cal.2 Rows line the entrance. To your left and to your right are filled with all sorts of vendors selling various vintage items /jewelry / vinyl and more!Continue walking towards the back where youll find rooms with more antiques. Continue further and youll encounter an out doors cowered patio with, yes you guessed it. More opportunity to find that one of a kind item your looking for.I recommend stopping in, saying hello and shop for that unique find.

Really cute antique store. There is lots of items to look at and purchase. The prices are a little high but thats what antiques go for. Items you will probably never come across again. The lady at the register was kind and welcoming. Its small and hard to walk around. The items should have more space to be displayed and be able to admire without being scared you will knock something over. Other then that I highly recommend. Will also be best you dont walk around with kids because they can knock something down.

This place has a ton of variety of objects from all different eras. No matter what your style youre likely to find something that will tickle your fancy. Plus, good prices! Not overly expensive as other antique stores tend to be.

Cute mall for antiques. Not a huge selection. Feels more like people cleaned out grandmas house and are selling it here. Great staff and a clean store though.

Was really excited to give this place a look after seeing all the positive reviews. Was a little let down after visiting. Place is rather small and has no air conditioning so it was very stuffy inside especially with a mask on. However, the people working were very friendly

Antique Alley is an antique mall. Theyve been in their location on State St. for decades. This is one of the best shopping experiences in Santa Barbara. The owner Allen is unfailingly friendly, funny, and really knows his business. Everyone who works there is super friendly, its great. Prices are fair, sometimes amazingly low! And real antiques, not just old stuff.Love it!

Antique is a loosely used term here, as it is mostly a thrift store with older items. I carefully looked in each aisle, and yes I did find some things that people could find useful in each, however its largely kitsch. The prices are high too, but I actually understand because of the location. Their rent is crazy high.

Review №31

Always a fun stop on state st. due to the endless wall-to-wall wonder. Curios from a different time, for sale at your convenience. Its pretty much a museum of cursed objects. Got a funky tie

Individuals spaces with a variety of modern, collectibles & antiques to browse through & purchase. They have a friendly staff & relaxed atmosphere to take your time looking at the wide selection of goods. I enjoyed my visit while in town.

Antique Alley is a wonderful riot of a place. Dozens of small dealers have display cases filled with everything from old Spanish and Roman coins, to clothes, cups and saucers and baseball cards. Of course, it is all in the eye of the beholder whether it is of value, but it is a great way to spend time wandering through. Very rarely is a dealer present, so, forget any sort of bartering.

Great place to find whatever you didnt know you needed. They got clothes, furniture, accessories and lots of other weird and beautiful stuff! Even if youre not looking to buy anything its fun to just look around

Review №36

They have a really good selection of stuff. Most of it is not antique (100+ years). I saw the three workers assisting people. No one approached or greeted me as I walked throughout the store. I get it, they probably get a lot of lookie-loos. They were very helpful once I pulled up with a few things I was buying. They also offered to wrap up my stuff while I brought my car to the front of the store from the parking structure to load it up.

There used to be more stores like this in Santa Barbara, but even back then this was one of the best antique stores here. Both from a size perspective and a quality one, Antique Alley stands out. The owners here are friendly and willing to barter within reason. Prices for reasonable, although like all antique stores, some items are priced better than others; thats also a product of the dealer system that they run on. Things are much neater and more organized than other antique shops too. Maybe most importantly of all, theres always legitimately cool stuff to be seen. Ive never come to Santa Barbara without buying something here. Whether its a mask from Bali, a oil/vinegar combo decanter or some mermaid/man sculptures from Haiti, the diversity of items is definitely there.

Wow...this place has an incredible amount of cool stuff. Aisles and aisles and shelves full. There are lots of vintage clothes and accessories too. Plus, dont forget to look up as there are paintings, posters, rugs, neons...anything and everything you can imagine. Not too many places like this anymore and its right in the heart of Santa Barbara. Cool shop!

So youre deciding to see if you want to check this place out, well you should!This is an interesting store in Santa Barbara that back 20 years ago there used to be an abundance of. The store has every knick-knack and Relic and item that pertains to childhood that you can think of, the store is jam-packed with antitques & collectables in every nook and cranny so be sure to take your time looking around. The prices are fair, Im not going to say its cheap but you will definitely feel like you didnt get taken advantage of. Even if you dont buy anything its worth stopping in and being in awe of the history lesson before you. Make sure you check out the postcards, it is definitely an experience. (Old records, old silverware, jewelry, old home decor, old kitchenware)
