“Shout out to the staff member at Urbanite who remembered me after I was out of town two weeks for my daughter’s graduation and asking me how it went! Very friendly and personal service. Love this store and all the great vendors! Thank you!”
“My mom gave her old typewriter to my daughter so we brought it by Type Space for a quick check-up. Not only did Tony clean it up and make sure everything was in good working order, her also took the time to show my daughter all of the functions, use the serial number to look up the year of manufacture, and emailed a PDF of the original manual. We will definitely be heading back here for all of our typewriter needs!”
“My husband and I love to antique and have done so throughout the country and even in parts of Europe. By far, this is the best antique mall we have ever been to. Beautifully curated and most booths were priced incredibly well. Our one regret was, we only had an hour to shop before catching a flight and had limited space left in our luggage.”
“One of my favorite stores, ever, actually… the family history, the range of items collected and sold is vast. Come for trains, games, music media, posters, freeze-fried candy, even. You’ll wanna come back. & a word of advice, just get it. You don’t wanna leave and wish you got it.
Oh, and you can sell there too if you have a collection or item you want to get a number on. Chat with them the next time you’re in.
Enjoy your visit!”
“A carefully curated and organized (and really beautiful) shop full of neat stuff. Focused on hardware, of course, but still one of the best antique shops I've been to.”
“My favorite spot to browse antiques in Portland! It feels like a hidden gem, with just the right balance of display and potential for rummaging. They are always so lovely and knowledgeable, and really went above and beyond for our furniture delivery. It’s tough for a collector to give up the dirt on a favorite spot, but I really want this family business to thrive. Long live R. Spencer Antiques!”
“This shop is nothing short but amazing, interesting, with a wonderful selection of oddities and trinkets! It is also just so fun to walk in and see what they got, as things tend to come and go! They also have an amazing oddities exhibit for such an affordable price! Please visit and support this wonderful family owned shop!”
“Love this place. My favorite carts and gummies are on sale on Fridays SUPER cheap, I always make sure to get in! Friendly service, other fun stuff to look at! I often end up choosing a cute enamel pin, sticker, or stone while I'm there.”
“My nephews love all things cards and this place is awesome. The 2 guys working were super helpful. It was really busy but they made time for them. Lots of options at good prices. We will be back”

“A wild and chaotic store full of extremely interesting things, right in the middle of a revitalized downtown Tigard. Be sure to bring several bags and a heavy wallet!”
“After your visit to Cargo you should really swing by the fabulous shop. There’s so much more to Vermouth than your mom’s martini!
While you’re there check out the gorgeous glassware , bar set ups and tiki cups.
It’s all beautifully curated and you can lear a lot from Trent, your lovely and hospitable host.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Gary Germer & Associates for an appraisal and was thoroughly impressed with the level of professionalism and expertise.
I received a prompt and courteous response. Despite the limitations of communicating via email, the team was able to provide a thorough assessment of the artwork in question, taking into account various factors such as artist attribution, provenance, condition, and market trends.
Not only was the appraisal evaluation quick and accurate, but it was presented in a clear and comprehensive manner, making it easy for me to understand the value. The level of expertise demonstrated instilled confidence in their assessment, and I have no doubt that their appraisal will be invaluable as I navigate the world of collecting.”
“I love going to this store. I got an awesome tool box and tool caddy. Last time I got original art. I always get good stuff at prices that are unheard of. Original art for $7. Incredible.”
“After my last major birthday, and having had to deal with my parent’s estate, I decided that it was time to part with some of my own vintage jewelry.
Of course, I offered the pieces to my adult children, who were simply not interested.
I didn’t want these wonderful pieces to end up in “the scrap pile”.
The lovely buyer at Poor Mouchette listened to me and treated my pieces with the love and respect that they deserved. She was honest about valuations and made the process feel like a celebration.
We were offered a fair price and I left knowing that these treasures will go on to someone who will love the vintage pieces as much as my grandmother and I had loved them.
This is a wonderful business, run by a caring and talented artist.”
“My go to place when i need a New England fix...the smells and decor give such ambience and the smell of Fall has arrived...Joan the owner is always pretty much able to answer any questions and share info...been going there since 1985!”

“Joshua and Charlie and their collection are amazing. It’s hard not to bankrupt myself when I visit their gallery. I can’t thank them enough for the treasures I have purchased from them. Their love for art bleeds into the world and makes it a better place.”
“Store is an amazing collection of mid century, contemporary, and Asian furniture in decor at amazing prices. The staff are friendly and helpful. Went for the first time today "just to look" and came home with a beautiful antique table. They offer a unique mix of options and appear to have new items moving through frequently. Don't forget to check out bar ware in the basement!”

“Visiting from out of town and found this place just hours before my flight. What a treat! I wish I had more time and could visit when they restock! I'll be back anytime I'm in Portland.
I also love that I didn't feel pressured, no one chased me around the shop. It was at my pace and leisure to explore different corners of the well curated store!”
“This is a fabulous addition to downtown OC. Super fun curation of items for yourself or to gift including vintage and modern clothing, housewares, unique jewelry and plants. I find a couple of treasures every time.”
“A very special shop. I don’t live in the Milwaukie area, but it’s worth the mileage when I need a special gift. I also pop in when I do nearby hikes. The atmosphere (and pampering) in the shop makes me feel special and pretty, even though I don’t look so great after a few thousand steps!”
“Spent the day with my husband today visiting vintage shops around Portland. We had the most fun visiting this super cute place!! We shared with the owner, and with another nice guy working behind the counter, that it was our 30th wedding anniversary. Talk about going above and beyond! They spent lots of time, showing us many rings, explaining details about each one. Were we rushed??? Nope! Not at all! Felt so at ease just shopping and being shown excellent customer service! The super nice guy working behind the counter ( sorry I didn’t get his name!) was awesome! He gave us several suggestions of places to go for shopping and dinner on our special day!! Very down to earth, super nice people! If you’re looking for some cool Persian rugs this is a great place to go. Great deals!”
“A true gem of a shop full of folk art, unique vintage, and contemporary artists work you can’t find elsewhere. There’s a back story for every piece that the owner selects and it’s all so thoughtfully put together. Highly recommend?”
“My new favorite store that I wish was open on Sundays! I found the best pieces here for really great prices. For some reason I always have the urge to go on Sundays but they’re closed and I make myself sad every week haha”

“O. M. G! The Vintage Nest is my FAVORITE spot to wander around, relax, reminisce, and find some great inspiration. I love me some farmhouse. And furniture flipping. They even have a seller of quality furniture chalk paint! Decor, gifts, furniture knobs, odds and ends. I love everything about this place! They have an array of antuque, vintage as well as newer items to purchase. Prices range depending on each seller. But I have never walked out with buyers remorse! I will always come back. As a matter of fact. Im headed in the front door in just a min!!!”
“Feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The nostalgia is consuming. Suddenly you have an overwhelming desire to retrofit your entire home-Wait, actually move into a new home which is reminiscent of The Brady Bunch-or possibly a cool apartment like in Mary Tyler Moore and go all out with new-old-decor. It’s that good. Go, enjoy the experience-and remember to chat with the staff, they are an incredibly friendly bunch.”
“I didn’t get the lovely lady’s name who runs this but she did tell me she collected this stuff and I can’t tell you how beautiful the jewelry was. She pulled out a box just for me to look through and I found some beautiful pieces she even gave me 20% off and a super good deal and my boyfriend a free machete it was fantastic in there i definitely say this is the place for amazing antique and jewelry everything girly”
“First time here today! My husband and I were blown away with the quality of the furniture and lamps. Staff are very friendly and helpful! We look forward to retuning. Fantastic prices, too!”
“Oko is the most lovely place.
I have bought two rings from them—who doesn’t need a gift… or 2… for themselves!?—and they are so utterly beautiful. I never take them off and never plan to.
Those working in the store (including the owner) clearly care so deeply about what they do. They understand jewelry and listen to what you have to say. They make you feel like a friend immediately.
The first ring I bought I came in to try on two times before deciding to splurge and each time they were so sweet and patient and not sales-y at all. Their ring sizer (which I needed for both rings) did an amazing job as well for such a reasonable price.
At some point I told them I wanted a ring with a snake one day, not thinking anything of it. A few weeks later they texted me with a picture of a new snake ring they’d gotten in, which took me by such sweet surprise.
They’re truly the best people with the most unique and special collection of beautiful and stunning jewelry. And I should have written this review a year ago.”
“Really fun to look through all the stuff! Friendly people. Love going in with my daughter and checking out the new arrivals each week. Lots of good stuff and a wide variety from different time periods including the very old and more recent, as well.”
