Flower Child

Super cute vintage store, it’s bigger than it looks on the outside. A lot of awesome hats and interesting finds. Love this place. I wish there were more stores around like it!

This maze of a store is A-mazing…ok, bad joke… but seriously, it truly is amazing to see how much vintage home goods and clothing they fit into the space without making it feel too cramped or crowded. Be sure to see all the rooms and both floors. Bag check required upon entering.

I’ve been shopping at flower child since 2008. Always have a wide selection of high quality vintage clothing… and my favorite: jewelry! I’d highly recommend browsing their store!

What a great store. It is pretty overwhelming, with the enormous amount of stuff they have in the many rooms. They have a lot of vintage items I recognized from my childhood. I did wonder how they expect to sell the vintage clothing (lower level) at what I felt were high prices, but maybe there is quite the market for it. I would go back to browse some more. There is also a parking lot next to the building, which is a plus!

I love this place! There are tons of awesome vintage things to look at. I always feel like I’m walking through old movie/​tv show sets when I’m in there. Careful walking in that vintage kitchen themed room; one too many breakable items stacked high on that table.
The thing that drives me crazy about this store is that it’s so small and everything is tightly crammed in there. You can barely turn the corner without feeling like you’re going to knock something over. Also, the basements pretty creepy :(

This store is A-​OK! It’s like walking back in time. All these cool vintage clothes, figurines, housewares, etc. I could get lost walking around inside and there are so many treasures to find.

Love this place!!! There is so much to choose from and you can get lost in all the unique items and accidentally spend more than you intended, but it is worth it

Flower Child is great. They have a TON of items and it’s easily the best organized vintage store I’ve been in. Items are organized by era and product type which makes finding items you’ll like way easier than a normal store where everything is just thrown together randomly in piles. The prices are a bit inflated but what you’re paying for is a clean, organized store that’s easy to pick through based on product-​type. Normally it’s unreasonable to go into a thrift/​vintage store expecting to find a specific item but here I’d say it’s definitely more plausible than most places. I went in specifically looking for a weird small ceramic cat and I found one on a wall specifically designated for ceramic animals. Will definitely return.

The best vintage store I have seen in town. Joe and his staff were friendly and fair in their assessment of my merchandise and offered me a fair price. I buy and sell many things and have never been treated better. Great selection and very fair prices and a variety not seen around the central Ohio area. Highly recommended, Wonderful people!!!

I really want to like Flower Child more. The concept is great — Vintage stuff stuffed to the ceilings. But that’s part of the problem. I walk in and within 3 minutes, I’m too overwhelmed to continue looking. There’s just so much stuff that unless you have hours, which sadly I don’t, it all just starts to blend together.
*sad face*
Also, the last 2 times I’ve been there there has been bugs in the clothes in the basement. Yikes.
*super sad face*

Very cool vintage store with everything from boots to clothes to furnishings to whatever you need at your bar. If nothing else a cool time capsule to walk thru.

I decided to stop by here on a whim and fell in love. This store is definitely an experience and it may not be fore everyone. I was so obsessed with how the store was layed out, it felt like i had gone back in time to a hoarders house… but a neat hoarders house. There was just so much odd and cool stuff.
Each room has a theme and they are all filled with great vintage finds. I didnt really find anything that I wanted to buy, but the experience of the store was so worth stopping in and checking out. Words don’t even begin to do it’s crazy eclectic kooky layout justice. Go check it out if you are in the neighbourhood, it is an definitely a store worth experiencing

Such a cool, fun place! So glad we stopped by.
We were in the Short North area and kind of wandering, window shopping on a warm spring day (since those are so rare, we had to take advantage!)
We stopped in Flower Child and were astounded. It is HUGE! Or, at least, it’s way bigger than we expected. There are rooms upon rooms and even a basement. The rooms are fairly themed, too.
On this particular visit, we didn’t find anything to purchase, but I think that’s partially because there was SO MUCH to look at and we were overwhelmed.
We will definitely be back!

This is one of my stops on a lazy Saturday afternoon in the spring and summer! I have lunch at Haiku, bubble tea at Zencha then peruse through Flower Child and reminisce over all the items I can remember my grandparents and parents having in their homes.
This is certainly a go to spot for folks who enjoy decking out their pad with vintage décor. They have lots of great vintage clothes too, which would be super fun for Halloween. They also have some choice vinyl — I think every Neil Diamond record ever produced!
You may not find anything that suits your fancy, but coming and spending an hour or so just browsing is better than going to any museum I’ve ever been to!

If you are looking for vintage kitchenwares, this is your place! I’ve walked past this place for years thinking that it was mostly just furniture and clothes (which it has plenty of) but there are rooms stuffed full of kitchenwares that look like they came straight out of your grandma’s kitchen — Formica table tops, glassware, Pyrex, aluminum, and all! There’s also a whole hallway full of owl things, which I thought was a little creepy, but if you’re looking for owls, they’ve got plenty. I also saw a vintage poster of the Enterprise, Peanuts drinking glasses, and some awesome old lamps.
There’s an entire downstairs area full of clothing that I barely ventured into, since I’m more focused on furnishing my apartment right now, but I will keep this in mind for the next historically themed Unilocal party!

This is a pretty amazing place, filled to the brim with retro clothing, furniture, kitchen stuff, and trinkets – largely from the 60s and 70s but also from the 20s — 80s.
It’s no thrift store — the sellers know how cool their stuff is, and price it accordingly — but it’s not terribly overpriced either. And it’s an amazing place to shop. After strolling through this store I almost always have new art, craft, or decorating ideas.

Have I seriously not reviewed this place yet? I freaking love Flower Child. It is all of the best goods you would find at a thrift store, but sans all the work of rummaging through the non interesting junk.
The fun store windows are changed seasonally and are always very meticulously designed. The inside of this store is a lot larger than it looks from the outside. There are two levels that consist of rooms and rooms of great vintage finds. My favorite rooms include the kitchen wares room and the basement with all of the vintage dresses.
Although obviously more expensive than what you’d find at a thrift store, the prices here are reasonable compared to the same stuff you’d find at a vintage store in a bigger city like NYC, San Fran, etc.
My favorite thing to do is grab a bubble tea or tea beverage of some sort across the street at Zen Cha and then go peruse the amazingness of Flower Child for an hour or two.

UGLY CHRISTMAS SWEATER SOURCE!!!
H. G. Wells would be proud. His novel The Time Machine and the movie that followed is in the same wheelhouse swing as Flower Child. My, oh my. This place seems a combination of «walking down Memory Lane» with that of Silence of the Lambs movie,…in a good way. The nooks, crannies, small display rooms, larger furniture and accoutrement rooms,… fitting rooms, clothes that have been begged, borrowed and stolen. It’s all natural for Flower Child.
I heard and then saw a 2-​foot high James Brown doll singing Christmas tunes. I purchased a Santa’s cap, one that finally fit my big arss head (size 8) for under $ 9 and was happy. But I just guess the over, Over, OVER stocking of items that people trade-​in, sell and then get recycled is overwhelming. A-​OK is my rating only because I didn’t find my Ugly Christmas Sweater. J/​K of course.
Look. Plain truth. If you want nostalgia to hook you into buying something your parents, aunt or uncle or even grandparent once owned (old radios and clocks were very cool but just retro looking) then you’ll be a 4 or 5-​star voter. As I waited to purchase my Santa’s cap I watched as a seller as he haggled with the counter staff on some poly-​shirts circa 1970… and waited… and waited … to watch a $ 19 transaction.
Flower Child — peace out!

I could have easily spent all afternoon in here.
I went in because of a tip about some fabulous Christmas sweater (cats on sleds)… and while I couldn’t find the sledding cats sweater, I did find the perfect one and a bunch of other stuff. There is so much stuff here to explore. Just the Christmas rooms alone were vortexes of nostalgia… I mean, I found the same chip art snowman wall hanging that my Parents used to hang on our front door.
I will definitely be back because I never really explored the non-​Christmas areas as much as I would have liked. And there were some great handbags that I need to make my life complete.

This store is amazing. I loooove the downstairs clothes section. Unfortunately, my only gripe is that it’s not exactly inexpensive… most of the stuff is about the same or even more than new stuff.
Definitely one of the coolest stores in Columbus!
