    Awesome vintage experience! So many beautiful items from many different decades. I LOVE the furniture selection and wish I could purchase them all, I however do not have a house with that much room. The record and music memorabilia section was awesome and had many hard to find items. The section with dishes and diner items had many interesting pieces, even a good selection of the hard to find milk glass. Upstairs was a plethora of vintage clothing and many boho and retro themed areas. This place is amazing just to walk around in and check out! If you are in the Columbus area definitely a must do. Parking is behind the building and in a very small lot without handicap accessible parking spaces. The front door and lower floor is handicap accessible however upstairs did not seem to have an option as I did not see an elevator. I would not recommend to bring kids inside because of the many delicate and easily breakable items on display.

    HOLY CANOLI!! Do you love vintage? Do you love mid-century? Do you love 60s, 70s and 80s fashion? THIS IS THE PLACE. I've been to TOO many vintage & antique stores around the Midwest and Flower Child is hands down the BEST store out there. Yes, their prices are slightly higher than others, but with good reason. Everything is in exceptional condition. You need a few hours to look through their entire store because it's so massive. Huge selection of mens vintage clothes too.

    What a wild place. Vintage store and more. They had lots of cool stuff to look at. Clothing selection was outstanding, and they had a little bit of everything else. Was surprised to see all of the antique designer furniture, what a cool showroom. Everything was set up like actual furnished rooms. Would definitely come back to visit this place, you never know what they might have.

    The selection is awesome but for the prices itโ€™s ridiculous especially how pieces are kept. Bought multiple items only to find holes or rips in the pieces. They could justify the prices if they kept items in good condition! Tried emailing them over one dress and they never responded. Real disappointed because they have some super cool pieces!

    Huge store with absolutely amazing clothes, furniture, art, etc. Prices are relatively high, but justifiably so considering most everything is in excellent condition and decades old.

    Very simply outstanding even overwhelming selection of genuine vintage articles of clothing. But... Seriously overpriced. If you consider the median income of persons typically interested in vintage aesthetics particular clothing, they canโ€™t often afford these sort of numbers. The company combs through avenues the average folks might use to attain some groovy vintage items and hoards them in this massive vintage retail location and marks the price up significantly. For that reason I think they deserve less business until they are more realistic about pricing.

    If you're a lover of all things Vintage, this is definitely your one-stop-shop. This place was cleaner than a hospital! Typically I go into an antique or consignment shop and find everything covered in dust and grime, but not this place. Absolutely spotless. Everything arranged tastefully and in interesting ways. This is the first time we'd been to their new location and it's definitely a hit!

    Much bigger than it looks from outside. Very diverse selection from clothing to furniture. Some great unique pieces. If you are into mid century modern, plan for more than a little time to browse. If your partner/friend doesn't like shopping, leave them home!!

  • 3/5 Rebecca J. 3 months ago on Google โ€ข 36 reviews New
    WAY over priced. Great selection of clothes and vintage ephemera/collectables though. Probably the most eye catching collection of vintage clothing and shoes I've seen. Unfortunately, the prices are exorbitant. I'm not sure why their clothing is that expensive either, there's an abundance of it there and surely it doesn't sell much with what they're charging. A simple 80s knit sweater you'd find for 5$ at Goodwill is 60-100$ here๐Ÿ™„Was hoping for a better jewelry section too. You really need a few hours to go through the store so plan to spend some time if you want to actually shop!

    This is one of the best vintage shops I've been to in the entire world. I was blown away by the thought that went into the layout and concept of the place and the selection was literally endless from clothing to art to nick nacks to furniture. It can be veeery $$$ on the main floor but I think the quality matches the price.

    Although I am visiting from out of town (Tulsa, Oklahoma) and do not have enough room to take things back with me, I have to say this is a very cool site. A on the pricey side but with LOTS of unique vintage clothing and furniture to choose from. If you are local it's worth the trip to check this place out.

    I had heard a lot about this store and finally decided to check it out when I was in town over the weekend. The overall vibes of this place are very cool, the decor is great, and the staff were friendly. However, the prices were quite above market on most vintage items. Some mid century and futurism pieces were listed for well over $5,000. I understand that the supply of these types of pieces are going down while demand is going up, so that is absolutely understandable. On the other hand, the vintage clothing (such as 1980's/1990's/early 2000's) was priced pretty high, and well over market. I had noticed some shirts that were made in 2006ish were listed for $40, while you could purchase the exact same shirt from eBay for not even half of that. This store is more or less for people who don't have to worry about price tags, as well as "it-girls" who have just discovered vintage clothing from TikTok videos. Absolutely check it out if you're in the area and are into vintage, but be prepared to spend at least 50% more than what a Bon Jovi shirt is worth if you plan on taking something home.

    Amazing store. One complaint... the clothes are not arranged by size. There is so much stock, it makes it really hard to find something without spending hours looking through everything. I probably would have spent a lot more, but it's exhausting looking for a size. (this is for the men's sections)

  • 5/5 Sarah F. 4 years ago on Google
    A little bit pricey, but it truly is vintage, so there's only so much you can do about the price! Very nearly everything is in pristine condition. The staff are very friendly, as well.

  • 5/5 Mike H. 4 years ago on Google
    If you like stuff from the 70's and 80's or grew up in this era, go here. I dropped by with my wife and we saw so much stuff our parents and their friends had growing up. Kitchen ware, decorations, clothing, jewelry, furniture, and records were the things I noticed most. This was a great trip down Memory Lane. If you're in downtown Columbus and have an interest and some time, check it out.

  • 2/5 John S. 4 years ago on Google
    Not my type of place. Everything is marked up incredibly high. Pretty dope playboy collection ranging from 12 to 24 a magazine though, and all the way back to the early 70's! What a deal!

  • 5/5 Joseph F. 4 years ago on Google
    A step back in time. I love the new location.

    One of the coolest stores I visited while in columbus! Definitely worth checking out!

  • 4/5 Meagan M. 4 years ago on Google
    I will start by saying that I LOVE Flower Child. I am a frequent shopper of the Cleveland location. The staff is always very friendly and knowledgeable. This location was newly renovated, and very well-organized. The staff there seem to be enjoying their jobs and very willing to help all of the shoppers. I stopped here for a visit while on a business trip, so I didn't have a lot of time. Upon entering, I was overwhelmed with the variety of vintage goods! This is a good thing! They openly had ads hanging up regarding a coupon. I mentioned that I shopped at the Cleveland store DOZENS of times and had NEVER received a coupon. The staff told me this was the policy of both stores and I should mention it my next visit. That was a plus to this location. One drawback was that several vendors were outrageously overpriced. I'm an avid collector of vintage. I am willing to spend when needed, but like everyone, always down for the thrill of a good deal. I know the shop does not price items, but they could pay more attention/monitor prices vendors are listing and how long or if that merchandise is even moving off the shelves. They had an extensive jewelry selection. Extensive clothing and kitchen ware selection. Groovy music was playing and I did manage to find a few tiny treasures I couldn't live without. Overall, for sure worth a stop! โ˜ฎ๏ธ

    This place is awesome! There is so much to look at.

  • 5/5 A T. 3 years ago on Google
    Iโ€™m sad it moved from its high street location but the new building is so much bigger! It can be pricey but all of their stuff is good quality and will take you back to different eras. I love their aprons and kitchen ware specifically!

  • 4/5 Austin H. 3 years ago on Google
    This is a must-visit store in Columbus. If you are looking to find "retro" clothes, furniture, antiques, or even if you're just browsing, the vintage look and feel of the store will surely provide enjoyment. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, the second floor of the store seems to be only accessible by stairs, which poses an issue for those with mobility issues. The only designated area for parking (presumably) is a gravel lot, which might also be an issue for those that use a wheelchair. However, I'm sure the staff would be willing to help accommodate as best as possible.

  • 1/5 scotty s. 3 years ago on Google
    Shop here if you have a wallet full of someone else's money or are willing to spend outrageous amounts of money on used, sometimes falling apart clothing. Go somewhere else lest you are okay being cheated. Looking at the price tags here made me feel insulted

  • 5/5 The Realzz B. 3 years ago on Google
    This place is awesome. The staff is cool and friendly. One stop shop for vintage Christmas and clothes. A wide variety of cool vintage things.

  • 5/5 Dillon V. 3 years ago on Google
    This place feels like stepping into a 70โ€™s film set! Or traveling back in time! I would love to come through here with $1000 to completely redo somebodyโ€™s wardrobe!

    VERY cool store with an eclectic and unique inventory. There's something for everyone and everything in between. Prices are outrageous though, far outside of anything reasonable.

    A wonderful midcentury modern store. Tons of clothes! Some fabulous furniture as well. Sophie was adorable and super friendly. Her enthusiasm helped sell us on the Widdicomb buffet/server.

    Great place to visit if you're just visiting or if you're new to Columbus. Good to visit every 3 months or so just to look around. Things are kinda expensive.

    This store is one of the coolest vintage stores I've ever been to! They have such a large variety of items, such as clothes, vinyls, furniture, and anything you can think of! Their stuff is one of a kind and overall really interesting and fun to browse! In terms of accessibility, Flower Child has a large ramp leading up to the front of the store, but once one is in the store, there are not a lot of accommodations. There is a large set of stairs with railings on both sides of the wall leading upstairs, but I believe this is the only way to access the second floor. Accessibility is a difficult task, as the store has so many items and only so much space, but the ramp is a good start to accommodating for those in need! Overall, this is a really neat location and unlike anywhere else I've been in Columbus
