Lately, my local following has been growing thanks to my Instagram, and every time I’m at local Corpus Christi antique stores, I get questions!
“Where is this?” or “I’ve never heard of this place!”
Having lived here nearly three years, I can say I love living here, and I do my best to support local businesses as much as possible. Shopping small is a priority of mine to help business owners thrive.

There is a healthy amount of antique and thrift shopping to do in Corpus Christi, and there’s something for everyone. Totally worth the day trip if you’re close by!
I decided to do this list in alphabetical order, and I will update this list of Corpus Christi antique stores as I visit and discover more places. Have a store you love and want to see on this list? Email me at monicawantsit (@) gmail.com
Please note I have a separate guide about Corpus Christi Thrift Stores (resale shops). This one is for antique focused shops.

Corpus Christi Antique Stores:
Alley Cats Antiques and Collectibles
Baba One of a Kind
Betty’s Trash to Treasure
Blue Moon Vintage
Make sure to head up the spiral staircase to find more goodies- I particularly love the vintage rugs and items on the wall upstairs.
Bumblebee Antiques
Codi’s Crafts & Collectibles
- End Tables, $30/each
- Fitz & Floyd Dalmatian, $7
Codi’s is a fun place to scour for treasures, but what I always notice about this place is that the prices are super reasonable for the most part. This is definitely more decor focused with a few smaller type furniture pieces here and there.
My living room end tables are from there and cost me $60 for the pair– I later did add some height to my end table to jazz it up. I’ve also found some great Blue Willow items for low prices at Codi’s, and my beloved blue and white Fitz & Floyd Dalmatian was $7 at Codi’s!
One of my more recent finds is this gorgeous pagoda oversized lantern thing that looks fab next to my fireplace.

I love stopping by Wildflowers because of how GORGEOUS it is inside. It’s curated and styled to perfection and the perfect mix of new housewares/accessories mixed in with some stunning vintage pieces. Terrie, the owner, is a so kind and makes the shopping experience a delight.
Corpus Christi Antique Stores: Shopping Tips
- Don’t negotiate/haggle low priced items- most stores won’t negotiate on items lower than a certain dollar amount.
- If you ask for a discount, or the lowest price a seller will take, expect about 10-15% off.
- Often sellers/vendors at larger antique stores have sales around holidays. Look out for signs or simply ask at the register. It never hurts to ask!
- I find sellers are often more negotiable if you’re buying multiple things; you want to make it easy and effortless for them to accept your offer.
- A few antique stores offer layaway on higher priced merchandise for those who need more flexible terms.
- And this should go without saying, but if you break, you buy! Don’t take huge purses in there where you’re likely to shove something off a ledge and be mindful as you walk around.
Given the nature of antique stores, you’re bound to find something new each time you visit. I love to hit up my fave Corpus Christi antique stores about once a month.

Also, items sell fast! If you see something you absolutely cannot live without, I highly recommend you buy it. To this day I regret not buying a pair of Staffordshire dogs I found at Red Crow once.
If you know of some Corpus Christi antique stores that should be on the list, drop it in the comments or email me at monicawantsit {at} gmail.com.
