Yesterday, I walked into Whistlestop in attempt to find something for displaying incoming products in my shop. I haven't been back for some time following an unpleasant experience, during which my partner and I were racially profiled. I left without making a purchase, but after wrestling with feelings of unease, decided to share my Feedback with the manager, Lu.I told her that the last time we were in, my partner and I walked upstairs to shop the book selection, only to come down and overhear a conversation between two of the employees about how they really need to get cameras installed upstairs because they " have no way of watching people up there". When my partner and I approached them, the conversation abruptly ended, and one of the two women hosting the conversation scurried away.I told Lu that I had been hanging onto the memory of the event and that I no longer wanted to bear the uncomfortable feelings it brings up.This was her response:"I'm sorry, but we've had a lot of terrible, terrible things happening in the shop lately.... to which I reminded her that this is no excuse for profiling Black patrons.She said:"You really should just let it go because there are a lot of people here that are stuck in their ways and aren't going to change."I politely told her that it wasn't her place to tell me to let it go, but to consider offering to educate her team. To this she said:"I'm sorry. Clearly anything that I am going to say, won't be good enough for you."I said, "clearly", and offered the solution of posting this review.Btw, Lu was one of the two women engaged in the cited conversation.Please shop elsewhere.

Excellent antique store. HUGE selection. Fair prices. The jewelry store that is attached has great pieces too- worth a stop.

Well I won’t return. The lady at the front counter who seemed to be in charge of the store was so rude and short and put off with any question I had that she made not want to purchase and definitely not return. Her attitude was pathetic and she certainly cost the store money as I was prepared to purchase several items but after her attitude I chose to spend elsewhere. So sad. Such a cute town and the store had some great items but after speaking with her I put my wallet back in my pocket. And I don’t think she was having a bad day, I could tell this is her everyday demeanor.

I don't normally like Antique storers, but this one is kinda fun. Lots of things you don't need, but might want.

The store is filled with so many treasures and you can just spend hours in here looking at all the amazing. I didn't even get a chance to go to the second level. The pricing for the items it's actually pretty affordable

Super overpriced. It appears to be individual sellers that price their own items, but DANG. One booth had empty Strauss milk pint bottles for $18 each, which cost a $2 deposit when you buy them at the grocery store - they're not even antiques! I can walk into my neighborhood grocery store and purchase a pint of milk, and keep the bottle for over $10 less. That one was particularly egregious, but I kept getting the "they want *that much* for *that*?!" shock over and over again throughout the store.It was a fun store to poke around but I have no need to return.

It is always a pleasure to pay a visit to this store whenever I find myself in Santa Rosa.

Can here after spending a little bit of time in Sebastopol antiquing we were told to check this place out in Santa Rosa. Wasn't a hard place to find and parking was east across the street. Walking in there's is so much to see. It is very eclectic type of place where there's everything and anything there. So many nooks and crannies to look at, it's like a treasure hunting. The people who work their are nice enough and will answer any questions you. If you like vintage toy furniture is clothing, and everything else in between this is definitely the place to check out

First, the sign outside reads, "Whistle Stop" and not "Whistlestop." Second, my camera backpack has approximately $6k in equipment, no, I'm not going to leave my bag behind the counter. Not only that, but I'm not going to leave a single dollar. Not a single penny, or dime. Whistle Stop or Whistlestop Antiquities is so concerned about my bag, they can't even see the hundreds of dollars what just walked out the door. No, thank you. I'll leave.
