This place is a huge delight for those into retro. I highly suggest you check it out. It has everything from games to VHS tapes, and records to DVDs. It also has a snack store too.

Recently moved here from central MA, and we missed our old haunts, Oh My Gosh at the Cider Mill, and Jeffrey's. It's been tough finding a similar establishment. However, we were very happy to find this gem right downtown, just a hop, skip, and a jump from our new abode. Lots of goodies to sift thru, and very friendly service. Looking forward to spending more time here looking for treasures!

This is a review for the café. The people were very friendly and the sweet HOMEMADE treats were amazing. The unsweetened iced tea was great too.
