Casarama

Well what can I say? Please don’t go here if you have 3 minutes although you might just be looking for a super unique gift that the people there can help you find quickly. You need to spend some time in here since it is filled with things that you might not know what you are looking at unless you take the time to really check it out. If you are coming through Bend looking for cool stuff for your house, your person, or a special person that is really hard to buy for I guarentee that you won’t find anything in here that they already have… unless they are a collector! Really cool stuff and nice people in the shop that are very knowledgable.

Interesting to see a couple of five star reviews posted back to back in a twenty four hour period by new Yeeps for this little place. I’ve wondered what shopping there might be like, but every time I go by the shop is closed. As noted on this link on their web site, I guess they keep irregular hours in this economy.
The owner is a Bend city councilor who seems like a nice enough guy. The location of the shop is a not so great one in a run down section of Division Street not far from the town’s homeless men’s shelter and virtually across the street of an abandoned gas station lot. Parking is limited.
So good for this small biz owner for leveraging Unilocal (like perhaps getting folks to write back to back reviews) as a way to let people know about his business and encourage them to come by.
Noting interior and merchandise photos on the web site are from 2005 — 2006, so very old for evaluating product, thought it might be helpful to link that here as well. Since it appears, based on previous link, that the best thing to do to ensure they are open is call ahead for an appointment, these photos may help Yeeps and other Peeps evaluate whether an appointment should be made.

Casarama is a one-​of-​a-​kind antique store in Bend. I’ve found really cool and eclectic items there. Casarama is one of those shops that has something for every antique fan. So much fun just to browse… and check out the cool collection of movie posters!
