“I love this place. It's true what the lady says, it transforms you to the 60's. Great vintage pieces, great prices, great selections and best of all, great customer service. A must in your mid-century modern bucket list.”

11AM - 5PM
400 Main St, Asbury Park“An impeccably curated shopping experience and an absolute must-visit in Asbury park. Just from stepping into the store you can tell everything is selected with a very close attention to detail, from the quality of the textile to the designer or maker behind each treasure. I was so happy to pick up some holiday gifts here and also learn about some new-to-me brands. There's something indescribably cool about picking up a pair of pants that caught my eye and being told they were made by someone local. This is a business worth supporting - you know your money is going not only to a small local business but also to the local makers stocked here. Can't wait to come back!”
“At Backward Glances, I felt like I was transported back in time. They have quality vintage items that are stocked every week! It was a lot of fun browsing the store; you never know what treasures you can stumble upon. I bought a vintage jean jacket with silver embroidery and sequins; it was in mint condition. I also found 80s banana hair clips, which is awesome, because the modern ones are just not the same. Great prices, great selection, great service. I will certainly be back!”
“Do yourself a favor and stop into this local staple! There is something for everyone — antiques, retro goods, clothes, memorabilia, jewelry, books, and even plants! I can easily spend an hour wandering, even if I don’t buy anything (though I always do)!”
“One of my favorite places in Asbury. They have very carefully curated racks which are easy to navigate and shop. They have a great vintage selection as well. Staff is very helpful and friendly. I wouldn't say it is the cheapest place to shop, but it is reasonable and you could definitely find a nice bargain. I love that they have unique novelty items, consignment and vintage. Definitely recommend.”
