“This little store is packed with eclectic items from the world over! There is something for everyone but you have to look carefully! Make sure you come with time to browse, and look closely as every nook and cranny has someone's treasure stashed in it. Every item has a story and the owner knows them all and is happy to share them with you. What a wonderful experience!”
“Fun antique vintage store. We got some playing cards, a fun and unique salt and pepper shaker of 2 squirrels, and a paperweight in the shape of a fat bird. Just to give you a taste”
“Very very lovely store! The owners are so nice and helpful. This store is stacked with beautiful items to buy from clothes to jewelry and even black soap and body oils. Love shopping here, I spend $200 and over every time cause it's WORTH IT!”
“This place always has new stuff. James is one of the great people you will meet in this great region. His honesty prices are just one example to be satisfied with #crossjames”
“I was drawn to this boutique due to the
thoughtful curation in the window. I found a unique bracelet from the 1930s that fit me like Cinderella. A jewel of a shop and Annette and her sister are gems!”
“The owner is SUCH a nice man. The prices are reasonable, especially on a budget and/or in a hurry. Long-standing community business
Minority owned and operated”
“I encourage you to go out of your way to visit Mixed Pickles. Owner is super friendly, allows you to pick up their ‘booby trapped’ stock ?. A wonderful gem of curated items, paraphernalia, curiosities, clothing, and some pickle related items of course. The owner screen prints their own flyers, that change regularly. GO VISIT!!!!”

“Highly recommend. I discovered some old silverware sets in a storage garage owned by my ailing parents and needed to appraise them for their trust. I found the owner Niels of Montclair estates on the internet and he was great. Very professional, personable, experienced and knowledgeable. He is accredited by the International Society of Appraisers which is helpful if you need a legal appraisal document for insurance or other legal purposes.
His brick-and-mortar storefront is temporarily modest for reasons you can read about on his website but more than adequate to meet with him so he can begin to evaluate and understand your appraisal needs. Thank-you Niels for the well documented 12-page appraisal I needed for the silverware for my parents Trust.”
“The owner is an incredible wealth of knowledge, and so generous with sharing tips about best places to go in the bay for antique hunting, even if he's sending away business. Great store!”

“My partner and I love shopping here! The staff is always helpful and friendly, and you find things that are truly sui generis! The quality of the furniture far surpasses what you can buy today, even in the most bougie stores of the Bay. Narrative has been one of our go-to stores to furnish the new house we purchased. Thank you for being you, Narrative!”
“This is a great flea market with a wide variety of vendors selling MANY different types of things, both new and used. It has a great Latin vibe. Look for the vendor next to the furniture tent for great prices on everything from clothing to electronics and more.”
“Richard sources beautiful antiques and is generous with his time. He spent countless phone calls to ensure our one-of-a-kind cabinet made it to New York and we could not have done it without him! Thank you Richard for your wonderful cabinet and angelic customer service.”
“This is easily the best restaurant I've been to in the East Bay, though it seems to be a little under the radar. Although it is a little pricier than what we normally look for on an average Saturday night, it's honestly well worth it. The food is perfect, with great creative and well-balanced cocktails to pair. The ambiance is funky, cute and cozy, and the service is excellent. We moved over from San Francisco 3.5 years ago, and we've generally been underwhelmed with the restaurant scene on this side of the bridge. In terms of ambiance, most places in the East Bay seem to either be very dated looking, or else they have an updated, hipster "cool" vibe, but are also cavernous and chilly. The Rendezvous is a notable exception to this. The space has a beautiful, eclectic, vintage feel AND I didn't have to be bundled up in my winter coat while enjoying my meal. This is the place to pick if you want to impress a date with your artsy and casual-yet-sophisticated taste. This is place to take your spouse when they are feeling down and you can splurge to cheer them up. This is the place to meet up with your favorite friends if you want to feel cozy and connected. This is the the place to celebrate your next birthday, anniversary or anything else that merits celebrating with great food in a special place. They also have an adorable outdoor space for warm evenings, daytime gatherings or for people who need to continue to avoid indoor dining. This isn't the barely-thought-about tables and chairs on a cement slab that so many restaurants have these days. Their patio is a lovingly decorated extension of the indoor restaurant. Though I haven't sat out there yet, I had the thought that it would be a perfect place to buy out for a private party. I really love it, and am already looking forward to my next visit.”
“Wonderful collection of superlative rugs. Excellent website. I never felt as if I were being sold anything; I did receive prompt, top notch customer service from experts. I highly recommend.”
