Cannery Row Antiques Mall is the largest antique shop on the Central Coast, located in a historic cannery building in the heart of Cannery Row’s historic district. Spanning 22,000 square feet across two floors, it features a wide variety of antique, vintage, and new items brought by over 100 dealers. Visitors can find vintage and estate jewelry, Asian antiques, nautical items, china, artwork, military collectibles, books, ephemera, Disney memorabilia, comics, toys, vintage clothes, tools, and furniture. The store offers free parking on nearby side streets, a larger parking garage a block away, and a free summer shuttle from downtown Monterey. Inside, there is an elevator and a lounge upstairs for customer convenience. Many visitors describe it as a treasure trove for collectors and antique lovers, with beautifully curated booths and a vast selection of items. Some note that prices can vary, with some items being a bit on the higher side, especially certain vintage or designer pieces that may need restoration. The store is praised for its quality, variety, and the chance to find unique, gently loved vintage items, including records and prints. Due to its large size and complex sorting, browsing can take several hours, making it a must-visit destination for those willing to explore.
Fun! Found treasure on both the first and second floor. Take time to go upstairs. Avoid the intense lady hawking her goods from the three jewelry cases to the right of the cash registers. She was pushy, super uncomfortable to deal with and a firm, “no” just wasn’t enough for her. She isn’t employed by the building.

Visited this store while on vacation. Coming from a lifelong picker, this antique shop is among the best I have ever visited. Large store, with quality, wanted items for sale. I wish I could visit this store more often, but live 16 hours away. You need to browse this place. It will be worth your time!

They had a variety of antiques from different vendors, and a lot of their prices were accessible. Best one in Monterey.
