Remember When — Local services in Cayucos

REMEMBER WHEN is a three story antique emporium offering room after room of well displayed memories. It's one of the several antique shops located along Ocean Avenue, across from the Pacific.

The friendly staff on the first floor has little knowledgeable of the vast array of items on the balcony and upper floors, where the approximately sixty vendors display their collectibles. Each prices their own merchandise. The range is impressive. It's easy to get lost in your or your grand parents' childhood.

Only the first floor is wheelchair accessible. The stairs are steep and the isles are tight.

I asked him on the way out if the store was co-op (individual booths), he said yes. I asked him if he had a booth, he said no. To those that do have booths in this place, I’d highly suggest you look...

Very disappointed. Terrible Customer Service. Made an offer on an accordion over the phone. The store called me back and said the owner of the accordion accepted my offer. I asked if I could pick it up the next day. They said I can. The next day I call them in the morning to remind them I was coming down to pick up the accordion. They said everything was okay. That afternoon I called again to say I was on my way down. They said everything was okay. Then a few minutes later they called me back and said " My helper sold it while I was on break we no longer have it. " You would assume that they would have set it aside safely for me to pick it up the next day. Unless there was something else involved that I'm unaware of. I am very disappointed. Will not shop...
