A very large antique mall comprising three levels. Chock full of glass, kitchen and chinaware, plus an eclectic assortment of smalls and bric-a-brac. The prices seemed reasonable. Friendly and helpful sales counter staff. Even some surprises, one booth upstairs had a cluster of opera glasses. The basement had more masculine items and paper ephemera, plus a variety of pop culture items, toys, collectables, and casual clothing.
Black cat antiques is one of my go to shops. I can always find something unique or out of the ordinary. I have added quite a few pieces to my collections from this shop.
I highly recommend going to Black Cat antiques in Millsboro Delaware If you’re looking for hard to find toys they’ve got some it’s not a huge selection but they’ve got toys and lots and lots of antiques and other vintage items for sale
I can't remember the last time I was this excited about discovering an antique store. My husband and I are on an anniversary trip to Ocean City Maryland. I am an antique lover and also own an antique store of my own. I love discovering other antique stores when I'm visiting different areas.
I searched Google for antique stores that were relatively close to where we're staying. And Black Cat Antiques looked the most promising.
I was not disappointed!! My husband and I probably spent about 2 hours there and carried out multiple bags and boxes of goodies that we found.
At first I didn't realize that there were multiple levels. My husband is the one who pointed out that there was also a basement and an upstairs. It just went on and on. And I was in heaven!
The booths were very well laid out. Everything was easy to see and reach. It's obvious that the vendors take a great deal of care with their spaces there. And there was such a huge variety!
The ladies working there were incredibly helpful and friendly. I left just happy as a clam! I had a blast!
My husband was a trooper. Even though antiques aren't necessarily his thing, he was my personal toter of goodies to the front. The only suggestion I might have is to have baskets stationed throughout the store. (Then again maybe there are some and I missed them because I was so distracted by all the awesomeness to see. ?)
I absolutely recommend checking out this delightful store. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area. ♥️
Rivals the giant antique store in Berlin MD. I spent two hours here and would’ve spent more if I hadn’t brought my family with me. The best part of this store is that they have ZERO “crap.” Nobody goes antiquing for so-and-so’s seashell crafts, or generic ocean themed junk. This store also lacks the racist relics/caricatures that many antique stores are okay with selling. While these items are historic in nature, I appreciate that Black Cat wasnt chocked full of them. Instead, what I found was 3 HUGE floors of well organized, beautiful, genuine antiques and ephemera. I noticed that Black Cat’s vendors seem more “legitimate” than some of the vendors in lesser stores. They have taken the time to wrap their rare books in preservation sleeves, same with ephemera, rather than letting it get damaged from shoppers’ hands. Excellent selection of home wares, art, glass pieces, and really anything you can imagine. MASSIVE quantity of glass in the rear room is organized by color scheme, making it aesthetically appealing AND easy to shop.
3 floors of just some most interesting things, I did come out with a bag. the people are just the nicest folks. if you like antiques try black cat. the store is big clean and you'll find something whether you were looking for it or not.
Made the drive from ocean city while on vacation just to visit. So glad we did! So much to see ! Three floors of treasures. Some vendors are very overpriced but most are reasonable. Everyone who works there is great! Very friendly. I got the chance to meet the vendor I bought a new piece of glass from. Very sweet lady. Can't wait for a future vacation to come back and visit.
Just an amazing store with wonderful new owners. Always something new to see, or buy in my case. Staff is super friendly and always willing to go the extra mile. Definitely a destination stop for fun finds.
I absolutely love coming into this place. Everytime i come i buy something. It is a warm and friendly environment with everything you are looking for. Come check it out!!
We stumbled across this shop today!! What a pleasant surprise!! It’s absolutely gorgeous and full a unique pieces!! The gentleman working there was most delightful!! We enjoyed our cup of homemade hot chocolate and a homemade cookie!! We walked out with some good stuff to add to our collection:) We will definitely be back!!
It’s like walking into a different world. In the best way. The store is muuuuch bigger than you’d think. There was sooo much stuff. Had a great time browsing around in there. And left with a pretty good find as well.
Great variety of vendors. Always check things out at any vendor store to look for the best deals bc sometimes two vendors have the same items and one will be much higher than the other. BUYER BEWARE! The owners have a NO REFUNDS POLICY but we never noticed any signs saying this, and we've been in this store many times (owners have changed recently). One of the items my wife bought was a box of four glass ornaments which was taped shut. She didn't open to check everything bc it was taped shut, and when she brought it out to the car to show me and opened the box, two of the ornaments were cracked. She immediately took it back inside less than five minutes after paying for it and got told absolutely no refunds. The item wasn't very expensive but it's the principle. Had there been a sign in plain sight, then there's no problem. But if there's no visible sign and the cashier doesn't say anything, how are customers supposed to know? Need a sign stating "ALL SALES FINAL. ABSOLUTELY NO RETURNS." And need it in a prominent place by the checkout counter!
Three floors of vintage items! You can spend hours looking and discussing the finds in this lovely antique shop. Super friendly and knowledgeable owners. This is a must see when you are in southern Delaware!
Prices are high. The one booth is like a depression glass museum, has green, pink & Uranium. Very big and takes a few hours to look through it. Awesome place!
Great shop with some good vendors.
If you pick up things that come from a booth offering a sale, take note of it. I did not receive discounts from various booths at check out.
I always enjoy browsing through the store, they have so many interesting articles and I love antiques. My niece was visiting from Massachusetts and she mentioned to me that she was looking for a secretary desk so we went to the store today and we found just what she was looking for. I highly recommend it, you never know what you may find.
The last time I was at this Antiques Mall was years ago, so I was looking forward to a trip there. Upon arrival, first thing I see is - the building is for sale. If that means the mall will close, I do not know, but upon shopping in it, I would say that it is inevitable. A lot of the booths were not cared for by the vendors. They looked unkept, half empty spaces and no nice presentation on the top and basement floors. Prices are not very good either. A few vendors had some "sales" going on, but even with the sale prices - the items were priced not well. They would still be above what I can get that item on the Internet for (I cross checked to make sure while I was there). Some vendors seem to not have checked current markets and pricing in 20 years. Their pricing was from 10-20 years ago, but not what the value is today - and not in a good way. Quite a lot of modern items were present, including Dollar store items, overpriced of course. The level of this Antiques Mall has gone way down, the quality and pricing is just not there. The staff was reserved, no smiles, no "Thank You". I will not be back.
This is my favorite antique stores in the state. Many different vendors and three wonderful floors to browse. Over the years I've found all kinds of goodies and if you let it, you can be there all afternoon. Nice way to spend it though! By all means, check out the books on the basement level. There are some amazing titles here. Found a first edition of Brave new world (no jacket) for a steal but it got away from me. I've found all kinds of wonderful stuff here. If you're an antique buff or just miss going to a good flea market, you can come here and spend a marvelous afternoon.
I loved this place, and could have spent twice as much time here as I did. The vinyl collection in the basement is enough of a reason to visit. Each booth is unique, and each charming and eclectic. Prices are typically clearly marked, and fair.
We only intended to browse for a few minutes for a break while en-route to Ocean City, in what we THOUGHT was a small place. Turns out there are over 120 separate bays & individual vendors. Some had general stuff.. others had specialty items, like tools, sports, or music. We ended up browsing for more than 2 hours and purchasing 5 items between $8 and $25. The two women staffing that day were very, very nice and pleasant to deal with. We only got to booth 92 before our feet gave out. Will pick up where we left off on the way back home
I love this place. It's very deceiving. There are 3 floors of stuff to explore. So many things to look at. The staff very friendly. I will definitely be going back very often!
Very cute place. The little lady working was nice. It is a lot bigger than it leads on from outside. Three floors! The basement is the best! If you're into 90s grunge... visit the Rabbit Hole booth in the basement; CDs, cassette tapes, vinyl and any band shirt you can think of.
