Cricket's Antiques & Garden Market — Local services in West Brandywine Township

was in Pennsylvania for the weekend when my Airbnb host recommended Cricket’s Antique Shop and I’m so glad they did. This place completely changed how I look at antique shopping. Here’s why:

🛍️ Unique setup: It’s a group-style shop with probably 100+ vendors, each set up like their own little boutique. Super clean, organized, and each stall has its own personality. So fun to explore.

💰 Fair prices: As a reseller, I was impressed. Nothing felt overpriced, and I came away with 19 great items. Tons to pick through whether you’re buying for yourself or to resell.

☕ Hospitality perks: They offer pretzels, water, coffee, and tea on each floor, such a kind, welcoming touch. It made the experience feel cozy and cared for.

💬 Friendly staff: The owner is a total sweetheart, and her team is just as lovely. I never felt hovered over, but there was always someone nearby if I needed help.

🏆 Set the bar high: Truly felt like home. This shop raised the standard for antique stores everywhere. I’ll...

I happened to be in the area... and was looking for antique stores. I cannot tell you how much I love this place. Not only is it adorable and clean and whimsical and beautiful and smelled delicious....Cricket could possibly be one of the nicest people I have ever met. She has such an awesome peaceful vibe and makes you feel very welcome. There are so many things to look at and she has something for everyone there. I bought this beautiful necklace there I loved this place. I mean the woman even offered us peach iced tea that was home made. How can you go wrong with that? I was gonna ask her to adopt me .... But I thought that may be a bit much. Lol. If you like antique stores and great people... You will love it here. It is definitely worth a stop in if...

We stopped in Crickets unsure of what to expect and we were so pleasantly surprised! Sometimes these large, multivendor places can be overrun with junk and look like a bad garage sale but not this place..it’s full of wonderful treasures. Really beautiful, unique pieces mixed with all kinds of handmade retail items that are more beautiful art and less “crafty” but there’s a mix to please all kinds of buyers. The gal who greeted us showed us the layout and made sure to tell us about a few spots that were easy to miss. She also let us know there was coffee and tea available in the entrance area and also further into the barn in a whole other section. There’s so much to explore and the folks there are so friendly I would encourage everyone to stop in and pay...
