Brooks Antiques 2087 Santa Barbara Avenue, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401

""I don't know where to start." My thoughts on writing this review, and on entering the store. Walking through the main doors, stuff is piled as far as you can see. Dusty, disorganized (maybe the owners have their own method), some of it broken, all of it intriguing. Prices are a little high, and you'll have to dig for the treasures. Check out the parrots in the back (but don't offer them a finger.) Upstairs is more organized and the stuff is nicer. Out back it gets a little crazy-- who knows what you might find. I wouldn't stick my hand into any dark recesses."

"Wonderful shop a whole lot of cool stuff! Staff was super funny and friendly. Helped me load my car with all the stuff I bought. I'll be back there to get more!"

"Give these guys some love for keeping an old time junk store going. Today's prices, yesterday's atmosphere!"

"Eclectic throwback in time! This funky store is where you’ll find Paco the talking parrot, tons of scrap metal and tools (Chad likes his rusted metal so he may not be willing to sell!!). Lots of wonderfully weird things. You just have to see it to believe. My favorite spot for hidden treasure. Keep SLO funky!!"

"Finally, an Antique, and a little bit of everything that is fairly priced. At the same time, the Owners are helpful, kind and willing to sell at a discount. For example, my main goal was to buy large outdoor planters; there was quite a few to choose from, and some of the pottery were from 1900's! And, at great prices!!"
