The Brick Basement

Went in here for the first time last Saturday. Excellent spot! Lots of different little booths, all very beautifully displayed. I got a fantastic vintage dress and a antique ring. Great store, I will be back very soon!

IM IN LOVE && I DONT CARE WHO KNOWS IT!!!
This place feels like you just walked into your grandma’s basement & she’s got A LOT of stuff YOU want.
Their items here are one of a kind service is off the charts. sweet sweet woman
I found my fav store ever! I bought two dresses, a cute pink/​red 70’s backpack purse & two sequence clutches. I couldn’t be any happier w/​my purchases
they’re reasonably priced & you can never get tired of this place due to how big this place is & how much things they carry
I will come here as often as I can, when in the area for brunch

If you love cute, pretty, vintage things, this is a place you will love and treasure. Prepare to be transported to a world of all sorts of little trinkets like vintage jewelry boxes, jewelry, bags, clothing, accessories, and home décor. Everything is arranged in a stylish, organized manner — the way it works is there are dealers who aren’t present at the store but they occupy «spaces» within the store where their merchandise is. They’re basically sellers who leave their items on display for buyers to look at and buy. So there are about 20+ different spaces within the store that have a distinct style but are also similar.
I bought a nice pair of earrings ($ 6) and a crystal perfume bottle keychain for my coach bag ($ 10). Prices range from $ 5-​$ 50 depending on how rare or antique it is. But most things are affordable and prices are much cheaper than other places. You’re paying for quality goods that are also almost like new or slightly used.
If you feel the urge to spoil yourself but don’t want to go to the expensive mall or store, come here. You will leave with a few sweet deals that’ll make you happy.
The owner is a friendly and pleasant woman who will help you with things in locked displays and not make you feel awkward at all. Totally helpful and sweet.

Love this place!
While Brick Basement may be considered an antique shop, I think of it more as a modern, physical Etsy shop, where you don’t know what you want until you go there. Case in point, hubby apparently needed (not wanted), but needed, a knitted rhino plush. Don’t get me wrong; if he didn’t get it, I probably would have, as well as the herd of donkeys and horses. But, I think that is the beauty of a shop like this: you’ll find things that you can’t help but take home.
Each space is rented out by a different vendor. Each vendor has an assortment of different items that they may be selling. Whether its their own creations, stuff they rummaged around their house or a garage sale, old things, new things, expensive things, cheaper things, etc. It’s different every time you visit.
The owner has been very sweet. I know we started coming here years ago, and have enjoyed it ever since. It’s a place that we make a point of visiting if we’re in the area. Love how clean it is, and how creative the vendors are. Prices are okay. Understandably, some items may be a little higher priced than other places, but you are supporting a small business.

Not the best selection of stuff but it’s really great. This place is nice because compared to a lot of antique stores that try to jack up prices just because they’re antique stores (or at least most of the vendors inside don’t). One of the vendors tried to be «artist» with a typewriter, ruining it functionally in the process which was disgusting and that vendor should be ashamed.

My favorite shop in Fullerton! I love rootin’ around looking to purchase vintage items. I bought the best key holder and small table. Great find at a true gem of a shop. The service was great! I was left alone in a great big antique/​vintage store hoping to find an item I would fall in love with. I had to grab two items, but fell in love with so many more. I will be coming back soon!

I Love to grab a coffee and head down to the The Brick Basement. Perfect place to find one of a kind, antiques and vintage pieces! Beware you will be there a while, lots to look at never an In&Out store. Enjoy!

Very cool place in the Heart of downtown Fullerton, it can be a little tricky to find so its kinda a hidden gem! There’s parking in the back next to the Matador. I like this place because the unique treasures, I found quite a few great items that I put on eBay and tripled my money! There is a lot of vendors that carry items of different styles, so make sure to check out the entire place especially don’t miss the downstairs :)

Nice shop friendly people, good bargains, Open 7 days a week and late Friday and Saturday. Plenty of parking in rear of store.

Great little shop to stop by after grabbing some grub in Downtown Fullerton. I come here occasionally with friends, mainly just to look around and kill some time. It’s nice to walk around the store and even better to find something you really like.

Super cute hidden treasure finds. This place is adorable. There are 2 levels. Upstairs is a cute store but some items seem very over priced, especially the clothing. Downstairs has lots of random things that seem very fair in price. Will definitely be back again. They even have free coffee in the back hallway. Classy touch!

Antique malls are often a mixed bag, and this is certainly a prime example of a mixed bag.
While there are plenty of true vintage and antique gems to be had here, you have to first look past the plethora of new and just barely used items, and give this shop an almost upscale second-​hand shop feel rather than an antique mall vibe.
The shop does have character and charm though, with unique items and exposed brickwork.
The staff I found was very kind and helpful, informing myself and my husband of upcoming events and other shops to visit.
Despite having to look hard for true vintage items, I did find some goodies, and will return.

Don’t be fooled by the exterior — this place is humongous and has a little bit of everything! From antiques and old lace to vintage mod and handmade jewelry. Staff are super sweet and friendly. Prices are good and vary from vendor to vendor but nothing unreasonable. I’ll definitely be stopping here when in DTF!

I visited The Brick Basement yesterday and totally fell in love! The store was so cute and there was a good combination of old and new stuff to browse through… not to mention all the cool vintage Christmas décor! We only had about 30 minutes to shop before meeting up some friends for lunch but I managed to purchase 2 items before making our quick escape. I haven’t made it to the actual basement part of the store yet though, so I will be back again soon for sure!

this place is a GEM! I have lived in Fullerton for most of my adult life and WOW… incredible. I have introduced my Mom and Dad to this place as well. I am excited to look for Christmas décor next month. :)

Bought a house two blocks away 6 years ago– first visit to this place, it was alright, but I thought it was pretty thin…
I will be back, but I wish there were more options– multiple malls in a row– like, dare I say, The Orange Circle!

Brick Basement is always a fun place to peruse while we’re in Downtown Fullerton. We usually walk around the giant store a little bit after a heavy meal next door at Matador or Fuoco or use it as way to pass time while waiting for a table.
The store is rather large with two floors. Like a lot of other antique stores, each area seems to have a different «shop» from a different person and you can find everything from toys, kitchen appliances, books, and even clothing. Because different people run the different spaces, the prices can vary from low to high drastically from one small pop up shop to the next.
There is a big downstairs area that is a little creepy because you have to descend a flight of creeky old wood steps, but cool at the same time. Below, you will find a more household items and knick knacks that might remind you of times spent at grandmas house. The thing with this place is that you need to really look around. We’ve found some cool old style Halloween merch just hiding behind other items or randomly placed without thought.
Whether you’re looking for a unique antiquey gift or just want to browse, it’s definitely a cool spot to check out. The staff is super nice and they won’t rush you. Don’t be afraid to ask a question if you’re looking for something in particular because they will probably be able to point you in the right direction.

What a cute place. I wish there were more of these in the area– it seems to fit with the vibe of the old town strip.
The store is laid out as vintage stores traditionally are arranged, with cubbies for various items provided by individuals and with a hidden downstairs area! Don’t miss that!
They have clothing, jewelry and other accessories, kitchenware, books, and furniture. I even found a drawer of beautiful plates for electric outlets and light switches.
Overall, great little find. Didn’t see anything I just had to have, but I’m sure had I looked for a bit longer I would have!

So, this place has a brick basement. Awesome…
Here’s my story, I had been eyeing a 50’s model Royal Quiet De-​Luxe typewriter and had had no real success online, so I decided to look in some antique store. I entered the shop with my girlfriend and said, «Wouldn’t it be funny if I found it in the first store I looked in?» Sure enough, down in that basement, there it was in all it’s 50’s green and beige glory. $ 80 bucks later I had myself the cleanest one I’d seen yet. The place is awesome, they’ve got lots of great rotating vendors. CHECK THEM OUT.

This is a great place to find go treasure hunting in downtown Fullerton. What drew us in was the sidewalk sale. My g/​f bought a green vase for $ 1!!! What a steal!!!
You walk in and there were snacks/​goodies and drinks throughout the store. Nice touch ;) I’m not sure if they offer this daily, however.
There were a lot of patrons here, and it seemed like a popular place to find little nick nacks. Looks are really deceiving here. The store is deep, but there is also a downstairs area. It seemed as though this store went on forever and ever and ever… It was amazing! Happy treasure hunting!
