Despite having all sorts of bits and bobs, the store is surprisingly uncluttered and well organized. Each stall feels like its very own store, and you could easily spend all day strolling up and down the aisles to peruse the selection.

Google Reviews John Pozadzides (John P.)

One of my favorite things about antique and thrift stores is that they usually offer a little bit of everything, and the Antique Gallery of Houston is no exception. From home decor to sports memorabilia to vintage toys, there’s no limit to what you’ll find here.

The kitchenware selection is also incredible. I’m a sucker for both fine china and vintage items, and neither are in short supply. Impress your guests with a fancy new dining set - or add warmth and coziness to your cooking with some old-fashioned Pyrex.

Google Reviews Danita Russell

Parking is free, and there’s even an indoor cafe to fuel your day of shopping. Happy antiquing!

If you’re in the market for new furniture, the mall offers ornate pieces from all over the world. Whether you need a French boudoir or a mid-century mirror, rest assured you’ll find it here.
