Old Times Antiques

Stopped by this shop twice this month in search of antique pictures for my apartment and some western style jewelry for a trip I'm taking to Nashville. Both times I've found great items and the owner was polite and helpful. I would take your time and look carefully if you can because there are a lot of treasures around each corner. The owner even gave me a small deal for the belt buckle! I would recommend asking for help if you feel you can't see or try on something because it's pinned or tied up on display. Also note, the prices aren't as low as a thrift store but better value for unique pieces.

I think that after going to the store, my impression of it changed because of the negative comments I had seen online. I think the owner is a really fine and interesting lady, and she really has passion and love for her collections. There are a lot of really small and interesting stuff, and I had a really fun experience.

I've been in multiple times, and adore the unique collection of goods in this store. I quite like the owner, she was knowledgeable and kind to me. She has a great eye for collecting and I'll gladly go back. I wish the store itself was bigger, to show off all the treasures and make maneuvering around easier. However every time I go in I'm happy to see new beautiful things. Fantastic assortment of Tiffany style lamps, vintage cameras, mirrors, hanging lights, trinket boxes, jewelry, glassware, lucite, and more. Give it a shot. Remember when you go in to consider how breakable a lot of the items are, how narrow the store is, and pass each other with care. Today I got a framed butterfly collection that I couldn't stop thinking about from a previous visit. I'm really excited to have this piece! Thank you, looking forward to going back.

Decided to go in despite the bad reviews, my mistake. The lady working there was very uptight and did not want us there, a shame because I was going to buy something. Lots of interesting finds but she got upset with us for taking pictures after we apologized. Nothing is priced and you’re not allowed to touch ANYTHING, which is physically difficult because things are shoved in every crevice of the place. Be careful not to disturb her if you decide to visit

I had the “misfortune” to get into this store today and experience all the “service” for myself. The woman doesn't know anything at all, neither the product nor the price. She just points her finger at the sky to guess about price. When I asked her about perfume, she answered "I don't know anything, I just work here." Are you out of your mind? How can you hire people who don't know their job!!!! With such consultants, I won't be surprised if such non-knowing behavior continues. I wasn't the only one there and she answered everyone the same thing, that she doesn't know anything, this isn't her store and she's just an employee there. People were indignant about how cold and incompetent the employee is. I'm not happy and I don't recommend this place

Such an incredible place with tons of amazing treasures… magical spot on downtown Toronto.

Me and my friend wanted to take a look at the store after school, never going back. The owner was extremely rude and pushy when I was trying to take only one photo. Don't recommend going there.

The store has the prettiest jewelry ever! lockets and cameos and literally everything.. i got the cutest pieces and the store owner was so kind. definitely coming back!

Old Times Antiques is a very small space that is neatly piled high with lots of small pieces ranging from lamps to paintings to collectible bric-a brac. There are lots of interesting things here. The key is not to be overwhelmed by the amount of product in such a small space.

While the merchandise may be fascinating, I have NEVER experienced such APPALLING customer service. While looking at the jewelry, my friend and I were abruptly escorted out of the store without any explanation, and that woman working chained the door closed behind us. When returning minutes later saying that we actually were interested in purchasing the necklaces that we were so RUDELY shoved away from, we were let back in for "5 minutes". During this time I attempted to make small talk with they employe, but was bombarded with statements such as "You are asking too many personal questions! 'How much money do I make?', 'Where do I come from?' I can't answer those!" - even though NONE of those questions were asked during this small talk. In the end, we bought our necklaces and left, shocked by this ungodly treatment. When talking to business owners afterwards who said that they regularly AVOID "Old Times Antiques", we wished that we had done the same. - Sincerely the customer who's day you ruined THANKS FOR THE SERVICE (If I could've put zero starts, that would've been my rating)

I regret having stepped in the store as I had the most unpleasant and horrible experience. The shopkeeper was not only impolite, and unfriendly but also unethical as she further lied about an item and sold me a fake at the price of an original. She certainly makes a good effort to strip the customer out of their humanity and dignity. It's a surprise that the store has not gone out of business with the poor quality of merchandise and service. She shouldn't be in this business.

had a great time here with my family. Found a ton of things that I loved and purchased. The store owner and employee are always so helpful and knowledgeable with all of the products being sold. If you're impatient this is not the store for you. They can't assist every single individual 100% of the time but if you're willing to wait then I definitely recommend! Be mindful that it is a small store with fragile items so definitely ask for help when shopping
