This place has aisles and aisles of all kinds of interesting finds. It’s much more creative than an average antiques shop and way more vintage than a normal home decor place. There’s wall hangings, belt buckles, stairs, old wooden and metal boxes, jewelry, tools, stuffed trophy animal heads, signs - kind of something for everyone. Like a curated fascinating garage sale but giant. Pictures may help because there’s too much variety to describe in words. Fun to visit and great place to get a memorable and special one of a kind gift for someone whatever their interests.

Uncommon Flea market is very unique. Popular and with an interesting variety of merchants and merchandise. Dont miss August flea market and meanwhile start getting in the mood by visiting Uncommon Objects.

This place is incredible. Ive seen so much about it before but never visited even though I live in San Antonio. Im so glad I finally made the trip over with my husband because this is one of the coolest places Ive ever been to. Will definitely be back many more times!

Some of the most strange things I’ve ever seen for sale. Not your common thrift store finds. A very interesting place to check out vintage pieces and oddities...Mainly home goods and random trinkets.

Uncommon Objects is a fantastic, authentic Austin visit. The name really says it all. Super fun curation of historical ephemera, with new stuff coming in all the time. I love going every now and then to add to my collection of Very Small Things.

Fell in love with this place! Expect to spend some time exploring all the Nick backs, paintings, and one of a kind items. Picture perfect and well organized.Staff was patient and friendly, held my stuff in a cubby so I could show without dropping anything. Jewelry to butterfly wings to skeleton keys and glass blown sculptures.

An Austin must go attraction. This place is filled with so many blasts from the pasts itll trigger all kinds of fun memories as well as oddities that tickle your fancy. I highly recommend for a quick run through. Who knows? Perhaps youll find a treasure or 2.... or 3... 😁

Color-coded curated perfection! I dont k ow if people know how difficult it is for antique/thrift/consignment shops to curate unique objects and display them in a way that allows for storytelling and design, but its not easy. Uncommon Objects did such a fantastic job of mixing quirky, ethereal and practical objects all together.I was tethered to each section by the color blocking, and it allowed me to take a longer look at the items that interested me because I could tell that there was intention behind the placement of these objects.Normally I get overwhelmed seeing that much stuff in one place, but I actually felt a sense of calm, so kudos UO, aesthetically you knocked it out of the park for me!

This is such a wonderful antique store. Its the ONE place my mom has to go every time she visits me in Austin. It is so incredibly well-curated. I have about five pieces of their artwork filling my apartment. Gorgeous art and really competitive prices. They will continue to get our business!

Review №18

Cool stuff! Went for their monthly flea market. Some of the sellers were asking unbelievably high prices that didnt match the quality of the item. Other sellers were spot on with their pricing. Make sure to look at every stall before you buy, youll be able to see whos overpriced and whos spot on.

Super cool little place to visit. As long as you like weird and uncommon stuff youll love this place. We spent a couple hours looking at random stuff.

Great place to go and get some good laughs as well as see some cool things. The prices seemed a little high to me, but I am from Oregon where there are more antique stores and so I think the prices there are cheaper. The workers here are really friendly as well!

Review №24

If you like oddities and collecting 20th century antiques youll enjoy this. Theres a market out back that happens once a month. Prices seem over the top for the condition theyre in and feels like most of its junk people are trying to sell. Perhaps that might be a project youre willing to invest in.

Review №25

This is a wonderful quaint place to spend the day. There are more things to look at than one visit will justify. The building is deceptively small looking from the outside, but there is plenty to look at as you wind you way in and around toward the back. The staff is very helpful but not pushy. Come for a quick look or stay awhile. Also there is something on Sundays...

Review №26

What an outstanding and eclectic selection of items this place has! Some really cool stuff and all quite well curated. They have done a great job carving out spaces that have connected objects and everthing looks quite textural. Employees are friendly and ready to help with questions or finding things. Parking is a minor hassle but the place makes up for it!

This place is without a doubt awesome. Its far more than an antique store. Chock full of stuff you didnt know you wanted or needed. Unique, quirky, a place to find those one of a kind things that make any design totally you.

Review №34

What a fun place! Hands down the best antique shop we have been to. Wonderfully curated finds, some at surprisingly great prices. If you don’t go to shop, go to just enjoy the weirdness that abounds! Random taxidermy all over and often comical. Some areas organized on color schemes and others on different “themes” if you will. Staff were friendly and ready to lend a hand if you are in search of anything in particular.

Cool stuff with some vintage and antique finds. Some thinks are a bit pricy but makes sense considering the value of the items.

Review №38

A comfortable little antique shop. Everything is laid out well and everything clearly labeled and priced. From section to section the prices range from fair to unreasonable, luckily mostly fair. Some joker wants 90 dollars for an old stick. Not a walking cane mind you, a stick. That irked me but everything else was great. Lots of strange items too. Fun conversation pieces and worrisome signs of an onset of early dementia. Something for everyone!

Review №41

Amazing antique store, probably one of the best that I have ever been to! The thing that I love the most is the organization of the whole store, with its color code and theme for all its items. Lastly, there would have been more purchased if the prices might have been more affordable, but that didn’t stop me from buying items all together.

The coolest store ever! I am a Grav3yardgirl fan, so of course when we moved too texas, it was on my bucketlist of things to see and do!Really enjoyed our time there seeing all the neat, quirky, antique items. The store is stocked floor to ceiling of goodies. So make sure your eyes wander ALL over!

If you are looking for a cavernous antique store to get lost in for an hour, you’ve found it! They have everything you can think of in here including antique and vintage items you’ve never thought of; Old Cameras, old glass pieces, old photos, old figurines, tiny metal dollhouse like furniture, old film canisters, old signs and posters, jewelry, wood boxes, metal jewelry boxes, wood ink block stamps, compasses, bowls, cups, toys, pencil sharpeners, desks, chairs, and the list goes on.I highly recommend checking this place out. Even just to look. Prices can range from fairly cheap antiques to really really expensive antique pieces like an old Japanese sign I saw that was like $300 (if I had the money, totally would have bought it).There is parking in the back and the people who work there and the owner are very friendly!

I put 4 stars because its insanely expensive. If you come here with less than $100 to blow, youll be disappointed. However, just the experience of walking around endlessly looking at truly uncommon objects was amazing. Theres a perfect dog hanging around who by himself is a reason to visit. The staff were very kind.

Uncommon objects is a very, very fitting name! You’ll find things here you didn’t know existed and don’t necessarily know why they even do. But a lot of the random knick-knacks are pricey, but it’s a great place to get lost in and maybe even get a cool gift!

Cool store! This location had some parking space but it seemed scarce. We got lucky to catch someone pulling out but I would be aware of the parking situation if you are making a special trip here. The stuff inside was very interesting! Lots of oddities. Definatly pricey merchandise so if you are coming with the intent of purchasing I would be sure to save up a little money. We walked around and admired the wares and felt like it was worth checking out while visiting the city! Who knows, maybe you will find that thing that you never knew you needed. Theres plenty of stuff to choose from!
