“Wow wow! What an authentic croissant! Such a lovely lady running such a beautiful and unique shop. My pain au chocolate was still warm and melty. One of my new favorite places to get a laminated pastry in Cincinnati.”
“Old World Restorations repaired a Hummel from Germany that my great aunt had given my mother in August of 1980. I recently moved my mother into long-term care and had broken the Hummel in the process. I instantly felt sick to my stomach and I didn’t want my mother to know because I knew she would cry, as well. I found Old World Restorations on Google search. They were helpful, friendly, and repaired the Hummel within a few weeks for me. My mother never knew, and it has been perfectly repaired… I wouldn’t even know I had broken it myself! Thank you so much with all of my heart! ❤”
“Astute Furnishings is a lovely shop filled with classic quality pieces, interesting accents from mid century and some with a touch of whimsy. James is very knowledgeable and a delight to work with. I suggest stopping in if you value quality antiques as well as one of a kind pieces for your home or office.”
“This is my new favorite store! Unique items for every style and price point. I had to watch myself because I am traveling and my suitcase is so full, otherwise I would have bought more. The woman who curated this collection has an amazing eye for glassware, art, antiques, and conversation pieces. This store is small but take your time- there is something to see everywhere you look. I felt like I was in a cool museum that lets you buy exhibits. Highly recommend for locals seeking decor or travellers seeking gifts or really anyone with a pulse!! Do NOT miss this gem ❤”
“Incense, necklaces, artifacts, jewelry, and wearable magical items of many kinds.
If you’re looking for an item to give as a gift or receive for yourself, spend some time looking at the assortment of gems and adornments that Little Mahatma has in stock.
The owner is a one in a million individual who cares deeply about having the most ethically sourced hand made jewelry and sterling necklaces (amongst many other types of metals) from across the globe, all to be easily purchased here in over the Rhine.
If you’re looking for a special necklace, ring, earring, chain, or any adornment to level up your aura, this little shop has a HUGE selection of the rarest goods you would have to spend $2K on a flight to even have the chance to see being sold; like Nepal, Tibet, India, Mexico, Africa, and Indonesia just to name a few places where pieces I’ve purchased have come from.
Stop in the next time you’re looking for something small like incense, or something big like a Nepalese prayer box necklace.

“There are beautiful pieces there - he only deals with quality furnishings and the prices are reasonable. You can always find something you need or want. Enjoy the shop!
I’ve shopped there since his store was in Price Hill in the late 1990’s. You can’t beat it!”

“I love coming here to browse. The eclectic selection of vendors makes me stop and wander through every booth. There are lots of clothing options, fitting rooms, and a restroom available.”
“Absolutely love this store; the women that work here are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about each and every single item in the store. Plan to spend a long time shopping through high quality antiques and jewelry.”
“This place is always a treat. From finding 70's cuckoo clocks to 70's clothing and weird quirky things, this is the place to go. You won't leave empty handed. Definitely a great place for finding something with a little dust on it to bring back to life.”
“This place is very cool. They did not have anything that I collect, Tootsie toys in red lines but I seen a lot of stuff in here that I have never seen in my life. Once again it's a pretty cool store and prices seemed very reasonable.”
“This place was super fun! It is basically a warehouse set up with partitions, creating booth space. Vendors rent small spaces to sell their wares. Most are vintage, but a couple of artists have space there as well. Many quirky, unique items, and you can roam without intervention. One never knows when you might need a rotary phone or 80s Tupperware deviled egg tray! Perhaps you are seeking extra large vintage chaps or a Calvin Klein handbag from that same era? They have it here! As with any merchant selling second-hand goods, some have a better perspective on the value of their items than others. That being said, keep in mind these folks are spending time and energy locating these treasures. It is located on Mitchell Avenue, on the corner of Este right across from Restaurant Depot. You will see a pink sign and chain link fence, pull to the left on the Este side of the building for access.”

“Flamingo Haven Antique Mall is an unassuming shop in an unassuming location. It's not super easy to find, but once you do you'll find a treasure trove of goodies to look through.There are lots of twists and turns in Flamingo Haven. It's kinda fun. I didn't find anything I couldn't live without, but it'll be fun to come back and look around.I'm glad this place is here. I wish there were more antique malls like Flamingo Haven.”
“I have been working with the Velvet Cricket for about 5 years. On average, I do about 1000 per month in business with them. James and the other staff go out of their way to be helpful to clients. It does take about 3 months to get money, but the truth is, that is how long the cycle takes. James is very transparent about that. For my money, I am very happy with the cricket and feel they go above and beyond. These other reviewers seem to believe that they have a full understanding of how the business should be run when their understanding is somewhat amateurish.”
“Such cool stuff here. If I ever win the lottery I'll furnish my house mostly from this place. Not to say that it's outrageously expensive - the pieces are priced well. But it's not ikea or target.”
“Derek has been running the shop for 50 years. His father purchased it and then passed away and passed it down to him and his siblings. The items here are incredibly high quality and the knowledge Derek has around what he has in the shop is immense. We will absolutely visit again! There are 3 floors to look through; the main floor, the basement, and the upstairs. If you’re looking for quality antique furniture, you simply must visit this store.”
