There are few things more enjoyable than a day of antiquing, and that goes double when an antique store has a little something extra. I grew up in a time when massive flea markets were a common sight along the highway, and they often had a food court to make it easy to spend the whole day browsing. Places like that are fewer and further between these days, but smaller businesses have stepped into the void with their own unique charm. Back In Time, a unique antique store in Farmingdale, New York, is a family-owned business that has built itself quite the reputation thanks to its unique decor, quirky home-furnishing finds - and a delicious in-house cafe plus a few other surprises. Let's step inside and see why this one-of-a-kind stop is worth the trip to Long Island.

Located on a laid-back suburban street in Farmingdale, Back In Time looks like a charming old-school place - and that's exactly what you'll find inside at this antique store.

The specialty here is home furnishings, many dating back decades. You never know what you'll find here, and if you ask me - that's part of the fun. There are a lot of quirky items that might just add the perfect accent to your home.

The fall is an amazing time to visit Back In Time, because they go all-out for the season - including Halloween. This is an amazing place to find spooky decor that's a little different from what you'll find on the shelves at Spirit.

You'll likely be browsing here for quite a bit - which is why it's great that there's a cafe right here in the same building! Run by the daughter of the couple who owns the store, it has the same wonderful old-school ambience.

But we know what you're thinking - how's the food? The good news is, it's great! Small-batch baked goodies are always wonderful, and there's a great mix of sweet and savory options here. It's the perfect place for an energy boost.

Back In Time also serves as a unique event venue, offering an on-site bar during nice weather, along with an outdoor fire pit perfect for small gatherings. Happy Hour is every Friday from 5-9 with live music.
