Street Faire Antiques

Take a walk on the Way-Back Side!

Great prices.

Fun shop, manageable amount of cases! I've never had a bad experience. Always manage to find something and everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. Picked these 80's babies up the last time I was there.

Lots of fun. Knick-knacks, antiques, furniture and other items. Fantastic selection, good prices, lovely way to spend an afternoon

This was a fun experience. What a great selection of things to choose from. All the vendors had something to offer. There are plenty of places to eat or grab a beer while you peruse the stands of antiques and collectibles set up all along the strip.

I’ve lived in Old Torrance my whole life and have never felt this kind of negative energy from any of the other antique stores around here. I stopped by hoping to find some Halloween antiques, but the whole experience was just… unsettling. There was this little girl in the store who kept following me around. I couldn’t tell if she worked there, was related to the owners, or something else entirely. At one point, I honestly started wondering… what if she was a ghost? The energy felt that strange. Meanwhile, I could feel the owner’s eyes on me from across the room, which made the whole thing even more uncomfortable. I came ready to buy some Halloween blow molds and a few other antiques, but the atmosphere was so off that I ended up leaving. My neighbor mentioned they’ve had the same experience, so maybe it’s not just me. The people running the place seem to carry the weirdest, most awful energy, almost like they’re tired of life itself, or ready to depart from it. It’s heavy, like something you can feel the second you walk in. It’s a shame, because the store has okay basic pieces, but whatever’s lingering there, whether it’s the energy or the attitude , makes it a place I wouldn’t want to step into again.

I’ve been coming to this antique store for over 15 years, but my recent experience left me really disappointed. I’m Latino, though I can be white-passing when my hair is blonde. Over the years, I’ve noticed a clear difference in how I’m treated based on that. When I visit with white friends or when I look more white-passing, the staff are kind and attentive. But when I go in as I naturally am, I’m followed around and made to feel unwelcome, as if I don’t belong there. It’s painful to realize that after all this time as a loyal customer, I’m still being treated differently because of how I look. I truly hope the owners take this as a chance to reflect and make sure every customer is treated with respect and fairness. EDIT BELOW- Since Google doesn’t allow reviewers to reply directly, I’m adding this clarification here. I noticed the owner edited her response to focus on her partner’s background and staff demographics, which doesn’t address my actual experience or the bias I described. Being part of a diverse business does not automatically mean bias can’t exist, and responding defensively instead of listening only reinforces the problem or her problem.. My review reflects my genuine experience as a long-time customer who was treated differently based on appearance. I stand by what I said. It’s disappointing to see continued edits to the response rather than genuine reflection or accountability. Google has notified me of several edits she’s made, which only makes that even clearer and, ironically, proves my original point. Dismissing lived experiences doesn’t make them any less valid, and editing a reply won’t change what actually happened. Growth starts with listening to customers, not rewriting their stories. True accountability keeps the business thriving.
