Just stopped into this new shop finally after driving by it so many times this fall.

Boy howdy, they have one heckava shop. It's loaded with quality antiques and some really beautiful art. I need to bring my husband in, but I am sure that I will buy something soon. There is something for everyone in this marvelous shop from antique longhorns to regency game tables to well, the list goes on...

Stop in. I am glad I did.

• Pros: amazing diversity, nice folks, pretty pieces
• Cons: finding good parking

A GREAT QUALITY ANTIQUES STORE

by somasoma at Citysearch

I was most curious to check out this newest antique store in the Olmos Park area. Gladly, the field trip there did not disappoint. This is hands down the best antique shopping experience in town. Even if you don't spend a dime, i guarantee that the look around will be well worth your time. There offerings range from the amazing to the unique. I'll be back. 5 stars.

• Pros: Beautiful layout, A+ quality - quantity, Friendly

THIS IS THE PLACE! I HAVE FOLLOWED THE EVOLUTION OF THE ANTIQUES INDUSTRY IN THIS CITY CAREFULLY.

WHEN I HEARD THAT "FAN-TASTIC FINDS ANTIQUES" WAS OPENING AN ELITE GROUP SHOP IN THE HEART OF OLMOS PARK, I WAS THRILLED. THE EXPECTATION DID NOT DISAPPOINT. THE STORE IS EVERYTHING YOU'D EXPECT FROM THIS "MOM AND POP" OPERATION. CLEAN, CONSISE AND OF SUPERB QUALITY WITH A DECIDEDLY UNIQUE EDGE. LET'S JUST SAY THAT SOME OF THEIR OFFERINGS ARE UNUSUAL, BUT IN A VERY GOOD WAY. THE FAMILY IS HARD WORKING & EASY TO WORK WITH. NO PROBLEMS.

THE YOUNG MAN OF THE FAMILY CLAIMS THAT HE BRINGS IN SOMETHING NEW "JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY." IT SHOWS. THEIR INVENTORY IS HUGE AND INTERESTING! OVER TIME I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THIS SHOP WILL EVOLVE. PUT THIS A+ SHOP ON YOUR LIST OF "MUST STOPS" WHEN IN SAN ANTONIO. YOU WON'T BE SORRY.

• Pros: DIVERSE SELECTION, WELL MAINTAINED, FAIR AND BALANCED
• Cons: PARKING A BIT TIGHT
