Antique Emporium

Antiques Emporium has moved locations. The plaza they were in is being Carmelfied. They are now in what I would call an office complex. They are about half the size they were. Everything was set up nicely and it was much brighter and cleaner. They don't have as many vendors but some like the record stall is the same. They have a good amount of parking and 2 or 3 designated spots right out front.Be aware the new address is 170 W Carmel Drive. The Kirby Building. I sent the info to Yelp but they have yet to change the info, even with a photo of the sign posted with the new the location.

I made a quick visit to the Antique Emporium. It was my second visit to the store. It is not a really big space - certainly not as big as The Carmel Antique Mall but they have a nice mix of merchandise. I was tempted by a pair of salt and pepper shakers but ultimately did not make a purchase. If you are searching for something in particular I suggest you pay a visit to the Antique Emporium and visit the Carmel Antique Mall as well since it is nearby. Both times I was there, one employee was sitting at the desk available for assistance. The parking lot has ample parking. I am not sure of the future of the strip mall since I believe the nearby strip mall with SoHo cafe is closing Dec 30 permanently and slated to be demolished.

The Antique Emporium surprised me with the number of large pieces of furniture that I saw in this double spaced strip mall shop. Though the shop looks small from the front, having the second area to the west doubles the space making it possible for large pieces to fit in, often as cabinets, with loads of small items. There are collections of vinyl albums, vintage clothing, dishes, coins, books, and just about anything you can think of. Not the largest collection, but decent quality pieces.Review #2019

Cute antique shop in a dumpy strip mall close to the arts district in Carmel. Worth looking for. Not big but a nice variety of items. Excellent vinyl collection in the back. Friendly ladies at the counter. We were happy that we stumbled upon this shop and are happy with our purchases.

Very unfriendly staff, sub-par collection. I sold items to this store and they lost my paperwork and blamed it on me. THE EMPLOYEES WERE NOT WEARING MASKS. I notice a lot of the reviews are positive, I would expect the level of service I received was because I am black. The "antique appraiser" who bought my items refused to give me a business card so I could stay in contact if I had an issue depositing her check.
