This is a great market to browse. We were greeted by the lady at the checkout which is situated at the entrance. There are multiple sellers that have a wide variety of items for sale. Some antiques and some fairly new, unique items. There was a lot of glass. One booth even had uranium glass under a black light. That was cool to see! There was a kitchen section that had a good amount of cast iron. Knives with etched blades. There was a fair amount of old wood trim. Parking is on the street. You should definitely stop in if you are in the New Bern area.

Great collection of unique and quality items. The staff were fun and friendly - and gave great advice on exploring in the area. Worth a stop on your way to the beach.

Went for the first time the other day. They had a lot of clear glass. Didn’t find anything that really peaked my interest atleast. One vendor did have some art glass if you’re into that kind of thing.

This place was a perfect size and had great staff. It had a good combination of nice antiques and lots of flea market items. I loved the setting and enjoyed going through and seeing everything without too many people around. There seemed to be plenty of stocked vendors but was not overly crowded like some places.

Lots of cool stuff to look at including coins, vintage guitars, classic vinyls (records) and even beanie babies. Receptionist was welcoming and thanked us for coming. Looking forward to coming with some cash to pick some things up next time.

We stopped in on Sunday of Labor Day weekend. The vendor booths are well organized and there are many unique items to be found. The owners took the time to chat with our family and made us feel very welcome. We look forward to visiting again on our next visit to New Bern.

Be prepared if you go on a hot day, there is no AC. They do have a great collection of everything and if you like hand planes, there is a booth with reasonably priced hand planes.

Best antique store around! I love to make the drive from Greenville just to see what they have because I never go home empty-handed

Hard pass. When we walked in the three people behind the counter couldn't be bothered to say hi to us, always a pet peeve of mine. Inventory was fine, nothing special, prices were ok, pretty average. I brought my few things up front and see cash or check only? What?! The vendors at farmers market across the street take cards but this business doesn't? I was then told by the oh so friendly staff I can go to the ATM. Oh sure I'll go pay fees to get cash out so the business don't have to. Nope. Didn't get cash and won't be returning.

Im from out of town but Ive been twice and have found something I loved both times! They have a very organized well thought out store with many treasures new and old. The owners are so sweet and enjoyed the conversation as much as the shopping. From fabric to jewelry to china they have a little something for everyone.

The folks in there are incredibly nice, and they have the sweetest Jack Russell terrier that hangs out with them. Real interesting items, and reasonable prices. Not just a second hand store. You'll find actual antiques if you're paying attention.

I enjoyed it but I'm not picky in the least. I have rated it 3 stars for anyone who sees the name and thinks it is going to be an antique place. It is really a low end flea market with a small amount of collectibles. Again, I didnt hate it but it is about a 20 minute walk through with a small amount of antiques.

Yesterday, I was there, and it was extremely hot inside. When it was time to pay, the man in charge told me they did not take cards. I had never heard of a modern antique store not taking cards. Anyway, I had to go to the bank and get cash and was annoyed. If I hadn’t already braved the heat and found what I wanted I wouldn’t have come back. As I returned, a woman was there. I asked her where is their sign that they do not take cards. She said there was not one. I told her they need one on the front door, and I said I bet they have lost customers because of this. She said they had. I’m only posting two stars because the people were friendly.

This place is great. So much history here. So many things that just take you back. I love it. The prices are fair and the staff is just phenomenal.

Fun place to visit lots of cool stuff reasonably priced. Excellent location as it is adjacent to the farmers market and the North Carolina history museum.

So many beautiful things to see. The building itself is amazing. Everyone one helpful and kind. A special treat was the delicious homemade peanut brittle.

So many cool items.... easily couldve spent another hour "treasure hunting" but alas, I was being rushed! Planning to revisit soon, for sure.

I always look for this place when in New Bern. Not a huge selection but usually a good variety of the old and antique stuff and not so crazy prices

I love this place! Interesting collection for many different interests. My personal choice is carnival glass, and I usually find a new "treasure " .
