Friendly store owners, coming here was a fun experience that I will remember for years. Theres something for everyone at the place, and most items are affordable.

This three story antique mall is a sure fire bet if youve got some serious time to wander and peruse. There are items tucked in just about everywhere, so be sure to give yourself plenty of time to check everything out. There are dividers upstairs at the main check out and masks are required for entry. Hand sanitizer is available. The staff was really friendly, helpful, and quick to point us to areas and items of potential interest.

Quirky and fun antique boutiques with tons of vendors in the lower and middle lwvels. Lots of other little shops. Fun to spend an afternoon walking through.

Never know what you will find in this store and is well worth a visit

Looking for a train shop? Tinplate Toys & Trains is the place to go in Tacoma. Wide assortment of gauges & brands. Lindsay is the best.

This is a really neat building thats like a maze with a bunch of cool stuff everywhere. They also say its haunted. I wish they were open later.

There was absolutely no need for the rudeness given to me by the women that runs your counter today. Forgive me that I didnt know a shop had moved out of your space.

Great Store! The whole vibe of Tacoma is very much like Portland used to be. Excellently diverse group of antiques stores on antique row. Fantastic architecture, walking. Wonderful place to escape for the weekend.The folks you talk to are so cool. Tacoma is not Seattle, and the tone of this place is just right.

I didnt know what to expect stepping inside of this store. With every step, more of the shop kept unfurling. As I went deeper downstairs, I really felt like I was living one of my crazy dreams...... Youre walking around an old antique store with stuff literally everywhere. A friendly woman waves hello. As you continue though the store, it breaks into smaller rooms. Some of these rooms contain shops. Theres a comic book store thats closed while youre there, but you peep into the windows. You watch a man working on his computer at a model train shop through a window in his ceiling/your floor. You pass a lively barbershop on your right. Theres another room, but its full of antiques. Another room at the end has music playing, but no signs on the outside and no way to really peer in. You keep roaming and go further downstairs...Down a grand staircase into a funky dimly lit hall. Theres a library full of books. All kinds of books. And a small room stuffed with wooden carvings from an old church is nearby. Yep, definitely serious dreamworld territory here. Its strange, overpriced, and I love it.

A magical place with wonderful quirky items.

It is a really large place if you spend the time to look around. They have a lot of great and interesting stuff. I would definitely recommend checking it out, if you are in the neighborhood.

The Best ! Antiques you wont see anywhere else. Wonderfully quirky building.

Has always been one of my favorite places in tacoma. For years. Its like a museum of history that you can touch and feel and smell and is constantly changing. I love all the small local businesses it houses as well. I wish there were more places like sanford and son!

Tin plate toys is the best. Good selection toys and accessories.

Sanford & Son has some of the rarest items I have seen. One of them being an ancient Chinese carriage. They also had a mummy when we went in. This place is like a museum and has different rooms for different merchants.

Bring your antiques they purchase at a fair price..

You can probably find anything you need here. Nice frendly people.

Been a customer since 1988, absolutely LOVE Cheryl and Alan and of course The Middle Floor Merchants!! Also down the street (Broadway) is Tom and Kendra at The Lily Pad ! You must make the trip to Tacomas Legendary and Essential Antique Row!

Actually had true antiques

Our favorite antiques store in Tacoma. So much great stuff and the warrens of the building are fascinating.

Lots of pretty things to look at. I must say the prices were too high for doing much more than looking

Love this place

Words just cant explain how amazing this place is. Pictures just dont do it justice. Its huge, plan on spending at least 2 hours there to see everything. The staff and owners are bright and make the experience worth the trip down to Broadway and 9th worth the trip. Very knowledgeable about antiques. 5 stars and 2 thumbs up

So romantic and whimsical! Serendipitous! Essential Antique Row shopping! Every era presented, ancient to today! Been a customer since 1988 ! A great little community and THREE FLOORS of Nostalgia! All the Stars!!

Love..love this place so much to see

This place is a serious trip! Antiques are overpriced but vendors are friendly

Our Non-Profit was recently given two large jewelers cases as a donation to sell. On June 1, at approximately 4:40 p.m., I called this establishment and politely introduced myself and the organization which I represent. I was about to explain why I called when the person who answered rudely interrupted and told me, I dont know who this is, but Im just answering the phone and we dont take advertisements! after which she promptly hung up. I called back and asked to speak to the manager and the person answering the phone identified herself as the manager. It was the same person I spoke to previously and when I explained that I was calling about the cases and that I felt I shouldnt have been treated so rudely, I was told that I shouldnt have called acting like a phone solicitor! She was not only impatient and rude, she continued to insist that her behavior was my fault. She didnt even have the grace to apologize for hanging up! I dont know who owns this store, but the person answering your phone and greeting your customers is the face of your business. Your manager is not only rude, she is unprofessional. Do yourself a favor, buy her a book on business etiquette. She needs it!

I would live in this place if I could, its magical, and full of amazing treaures. The lady working behind the counter Peaches is a unique, quirky breath of fresh air and just adds to the personality of this place. 2 levels and Ive already made 2 trips back this weekend alone.2 thumbs up!!!

Spent all my money!

Very interesting and some unique pieces. A bit over priced.

Great antique store. Lots of unique and one of a kind items

This place is one of my favorites to visit. I love it. Some of the most interesting stuff is there.But it would be cool if they did something with the book store though. Most of the books are kind of falling apart and are books most people arent interested in like incomplete encyclopedias. It would be cool if people could donate books and turn it into an honor system library. You could even put stickers and on the borrow friendly ones so you can keep the ones for sale on the shelves. And open up the st helens street door. It would bring in more people and be really cool.

Advertised as 3 stories of antiques. Reality is a bit of a mixed bag. Collection of individual storefronts, many were closed (by appt. only) or for rent. Some interesting pieces, but nearly what we expected based on ads.

Great spot to spend a few hours wandering around and checking out all of the tiny shops!

I was at Sanford and Sons this afternoon. They have signs posted on the doors that say, “Service Animals only with PROOF”. I mentioned to a staff person that asking people for proof of disability is illegal and federally protected by the ADA. She laughed in my face. These folks are trash and would like you to prove your disability and need for assistance in order to shop - shop elsewhere.

This is hands down my favorite spot in DT Tacoma... If your every looking for somewhere to explore and get away from the world, this is the place to go. Bought a beautiful sterling silver ring from two gypsy in the secret downstairs library. Full of mystery and wonder, this is the place you need to visit🙏🙏🙏

I really like it here. I once spent nearly everyday visiting for a month. The place is filled with awesome antiques and fun little stores with alot of personality. The people are nice and there is a fantastic steampunk shop in there that is worth a visit.

Lots of antique shops, tons of fun to look around!

Labyrinthine and wonderful. An urban spelunking adventure on every level.

A little over priced, make sure you know your stuff before buying so you get the best deal

Helpful, really nice and great selection. Definitely recommend

Heres a fun weird place thats more an antique shop than an auction house, its not exactly the most friendly place to those with wheelchairs or scooters.

Some nice large antique furniture and books. Records too.

Cool place to check out

Always wonderful to come here and explore some more stuff :)

Such a fun and interesting place, the library is great with a stairwell and second level. All the different shops makes a wide variety of items.

Just plain fun. Bought some, want to go back

I love all the shops in the building as well as admiring the architecture!

Fun place to wander around on a rainy day!

Great antique store, many levels of vendors.

A very fun adventure in small shops.

A very unique antique shopping experience. 5

Interesting place but a lot of shops were closed Sundays or just closed.

Really interesting place with lots of levels, twists, turns and cubby holes. Much to see here.

Its a maze and I love it
