😠 Worst experience ever in whole Montreal at this store. The guy who was there yelled at our kids. When we told him he was being rude he walked us out. I just read the other reviews and so many people have same complaint. I wish I read the reviews before going to this store. People often mention store, shop, unique, items, souvenirs,

    Cool spot with lots of unique items, new and old with decent prices. You can find anything from old school cameras, Playboy books from the 80s, wrought iron locks, license plates and hooks, funny gifts, toques and socks, cool lighting and way more.

    This store has only been open for a week! Unreal experience. A treasure box if I've ever seen one! Lady at the front desk was incredibly sweet.

    This store was the highlight of our long weekend trip to Montreal and is chock full of some of the most mindblowing knickknacks - we went in for souvenirs and came out with a dozen things for ourselves! Great staff very friendly hope to drop in again on our next visit.

    This store is packed with plenty of curious items, as the name implies. There are a ton of fun and random things here that I'm sure that most people would find something of interest here. I didn't end up buy anything, as I typically don't want to accumulate a lot of stuff, but I still enjoyed stopping in and browsing all of the unique items here. Worth a look for sure. The owner was super kind. Here's why: We were on vacation here and my young daughter really wanted some gemstones. We gave her some money for the trip to spend however she liked on souvenirs and she was really struggling to decide as she wanted other things as well. We told her it was completely up to her and what she wanted. We must have been there for a good 10 minutes discussing this with her and she finally decided to use some of her money here. The owner must have overheard us as when we got the cash register, she offered my daughter a discount because she knew that my daughter really wanted the gemstones. Even though they were only a few dollars, it was an extremely kind gesture and one that we certainly won't forget. Check it out!

    I have never seen a souvenir shop this huge and with collections in terms of magnets, pens, gift articles and what not. When you visit Montreal you must visit this store, the number of categories of articles they carry is unbelievable. Must must must visit.

    We went there to buy souvenirs- I wanted to take a picture with one of them but guy freaked out older man. Extremely homophobic because I was with my boyfriend. Never go there just so sad you can see this in Canada it was older guy

    Stumbled upon this place by accident. What a find - so many obscure and interesting things. Not your typical souvenir shop! A great collection of signs, old phones, skulls and other oddities.

    Sad to say the service was very unprofessional. The shop is nice alot of beautiful items however the lady who works there really need to be trained to deliver better customer service. She was rude spike unprofessionally and then claimed to be the owner of the shop 🙄 what a sad experience

    We stopped in here while visiting the lovely historic city of Montreal during our 3 month trek across wonderful Canada last summer. The store is well stocked with plenty of interesting items to pick up your souvenirs. We spent $ 29 CAD on souvenirs for ourselves, family and friends. Worth your while to stop in and see for yourself.

    Me and my girlfriend visited this place last night and we were amazed about the varieties of products they have. Everything was well displayed and organised. I bought myself a beautiful Turkish lamp and some barn wood signs. I'm really glad that I found this place. It's a GEM!!

    It's look cool i enjoyed the look of this place but i din't stay long to buy in this store because of there was that strong smell there, personally i felt a little dizzy because of it but i saw others mining their business like it's nothing so it's not for those who are sensitive to very strong smell.
