I love this place! I’m a shopper and a vendor! I always go to places like this for different shopping. You can find clothing, creative food, vintage and repurposed items. From decor to gifts you will find it here!

On a whim, my wife decided she wanted to look at antiques and so we drove here and we were pleasantly surprised! They have a wide assortment of items to fit almost any need or collection. The shop was packed with items everywhere you looked but it never felt cluttered or piled on. We took our time and were amazed by the condition of the items. It looks like they took great care to make sure the items are in decent condition. We were also surprised at how affordable most of the items were. Nothing seemed to be marked up to crazy prices. We ended up with a couple cast iron pots(that they did a wonderful job restoring) and some tools for myself. We will be planning another trip there soon.

We used to love coming in here..However here is our new experience:Myself, my husband, and our daughter went in on *Saturday, some time in-between *3:00 and closing, and had one of the most terrible customer service experiences. The cashier working-(*older gal, long brown hair w/bangs and glasses)-, was SO unapproachable and unprofessional.First, she kept eyeballing my respectful older teen daughter, to the point my daughter felt uncomfortable. My daughter overheard her giving another customer the *option*of keeping their purchases up front while they shop. She later approached my daughter, and while she was polite, she didn't make it *optional* for my daughter to leave her purchases up front, but rather was more so *telling* my daughter. While it's nice that they *offer* that, the fact that it wasn't an *offer* for my daughter, left a bad taste in our mouth .. when I crossed paths with this woman, I smiled at her, I got no smile in return, just a dry "can I help you find anything?" as she stared at us ...... Uh, no thank you... ((Awkward))It gets worse. We had our eye on a piece of furniture. When we made our way back to it, the price tag was missing. So naturally I went to *politely* ask about it. When the cashier saw the piece I was interested in, she didn't communicate anything to me, she just started walking away while shouting across the store: "someone's trying to buy your cabinet!" "Someone's trying to buy your cabinet!" this left me confused as to whom she was even talking to.. was it the seller?? As she started to walk away I started to follow her, only to realize she was talking to another customer-(a customer that ?apparently? bought the piece). She then proceeded to exaggerate my interest in the cabinet to the other customer. You know, as if I wasn't even there... So professional right? It might be helpful to put *SOLD* on something if you don't want to be*politely*& *innocently*asked about it!-(NOTE:she never did put "sold" on it). I just brushed her behavior off, and later we went to pay for the few treasures we found. We just happened to end up in line behind the customers that bought the cabinet.No big deal, except for the fact that this woman-(the cashier), was talking about me AGAIN to the customers. And making my, polite inquiry, about the cabinet into a *big deal*. I kept hoping it would get dropped but she continued going on about the whole thing, at one point I heard her (in a hushed voice) repeating my inquiry about it, in a way that was belittling me. And this was while we were standing right there! I found myself having to *respectfully* speak up ,twice, in hopes she would just DROP IT. She didn't drop it, up until the customers left. It was completely uncalled for, unprofessional, unnecessary and childish! Please note, I was nothing but nice and respectful to this woman, and so was my daughter and husband, even when she was behaving poorly. She had absolutely no reason to carry on like this. She really went the extra mile to make sure we were good and uncomfortable. Almost deterring us from buying anything at all. And for what...?I'm going to go out on a limb and assume this isn't the owner, due to the sheer unprofessionalism and rude behavior. Shop owners don't deter people from giving them business. I would hope this type of behavior isn't tolerated or condoned. This was a first for us at this establishment. We were shocked. At this point we don't know if we'll be back.. But our bizarre experience definitely deserved a review!

Short just one star due to cold environment and no ambient music. Shop owner was appropriately friendly, even offering coffee while shopping. Place has great variety in a spacious, tidy layout. Best in the city hands down!

Stopped in for a bit of shopping and found some great deals!The lady there was so very nice and helpful! She knew the stock well, but, was not pushy.We ended up getting a Wash Stand and a double decker cookie/food stand. She helped us make sure everything would fit out the door and into our SUV. She was kind enough to lone us a dolly to get the wash stand into our SUV. She was super-fast with her tools and tape measure.We are very happy with everything and look forward to shopping there again!

This place is full of an amazing variety of antiques and many light used or even new items. Their customer service is over the top. Definitely worth stopping in to browse and shop! I wanted to buy some wine glasses, but couldn’t pack them home to the Seattle area with our limited luggage space. Julie, who lives in Seattle, actually offered to bring them home to her place where I could pick them up when I returned from my travels! Now that is generous customer service!

The stuff in the store is amazing, snagged a few gems and then some. The service could be better though. Checking out was so awkward today. It was a younger girl at the register but it felt as though any little question or help that was needed was asking for too much, got a few eye rolls and huffs and puffs when sorting out the stuff we were buying. We stayed a little over closing which we apologized for repeteadly and she said it was "fine", but the attitude was over the top.

BIG SHOUT OUT to Wendi at Kalama Vintage Warehouse. Aside from offering some of the best prices on a wide range of vintage and antique items, Wendi really stepped up to the plate this past weekend. I live 3 hours away, and inadvertently left my credit card at the register. She not only searched me out on social media in order to notify me, but also gave me the choice of her shredding it on my behalf of mailing it to me. Customer Service of that high quality is found less often these days than most of us would like. Next time you are in the area, be sure to stop at this marvelous shop, and to thank Wendi on all of our behalf for her 'above and beyond' approach to satisfying her customer's needs.

I could spend hours in here and not see everything. Hand-written price tags leave you guessing on the prices.

Love the store!! Great fun items, lots to look at. Watch the prices though because a lot of vendors offer discounts but then at check out it is not taken off. A bit confusing for the shopper.
