The Green Shed Shop & Cafe

The shop would be wheelchair accessible if it weren't for all the things artfully placed in the way. Once you get past the front door you have almost enough room to turn around and go back out and that's all.This isn't a case of the landlord refusing to go through the expense of updating accessibility. Nor did ta big gust of wind fly in and accidentally put all their items in the paths of wheelchairs. This is a store taking an accessible space and making it inaccessible. Weather it was ignorance or malace, this is what they chose.

Used to love this store. I’ve bought hundreds of items from here but recently they’ve started false advertising with records. Putting a whopping price of 10 dollars each for a second hand which are mostly horrible quality records covered In scratches. The records all have individual prices on them of much less and those labels were from when they were sold brand new. I told the lady that the prices says they’re much less and she said “yeah I wouldn’t buy them either”.Massive shame because I found some records I would’ve loved to have in my collection but I won’t buy from here anymore and support their overpriced items. Especially considering they don’t buy them in the first place. I’d rather go to salvos or Vinnies and spend 60 bucks on 60 records then 60 on 6 with the green shed.

Very nice vintage shop, nice products with a good price. Highly recommended.

Great shop don't get me wrong loved the antiques, but in this store works a blatant racist! I was peacefully browsing through what they had in stock and a worker asked me (a BLAK/Aboriginal the only dark skinned person in there) what I had in my jumper pockets I told her it was just my bottle of coke from lunch that I couldn’t fit into my bag and she proudly proceeded to say that she wasn’t accusing me of stealing but there has been stealing happening, In my hand was $50 to buy a small bowl for $8 but asked if I had taken anything anyways!! So yeah moral of this story this shop is not poc friendly and thanks you salty c*nt for ruining my day as if it wasn’t already bad for me being nervous my first time in a big city and people like you ruin the whole experience!!!

There's always something interesting or beautiful to buy here, and the staff are always friendly.

Some really cool things here, vintage toys, nice artworks, loads of tea sets, beautiful books.Customer service is quite poor however. Two girls were on the shift today, right after I walked in one girl asked the other a question to which the second girl (she has very short, strawberry-blonde hair) answered very loudly giving very intimate details of her life and relationship with her mother. It was so embarrassing to listen too, and there was no escape! She was so loud I could hear her just as clearly on the other side of the shop.Once I picked what I wanted to buy I returned to the counter. She walked in front of me, blocking my path but not acknowledging me like a normal person would in a small space, especially if they were working in said small space, not even eye contact. Once I finally got to the counter both girls were there, I tried to establish eye contact with strawberry-blonde girl because she was standing right in front of me but she ignored me again and had a very sullen look on her face. I actually wasn't even sure if she worked there by that point because she was so rude, but another customer asked her a question so that confirmed she did. Very unwelcoming. The second was very helpful, smiled, acknowledged me, wrapped the item and said goodbye.It was a very bizarre and uncomfortable experience. I was thinking of bringing my husband back there but I don't think I will, it was just so awkward and I really don't want to repeat it.

Cheap and so many good vintage stuff

Have loved this place for ++yearsWonderful stock - maybe it's the best shop in canberraPrices are even pretty good : their bargain baskets out at the front contain loads of interesting miscellanea, & even generally, their weird & wonderful treasures are charged +/- on par with regular op-shops' 'scale of fees.'

Yet another good customer disappointed!!! An appalling service! The attitude of the manager and the way she speaks is unbelievably rude.The treatment is unfair. Their are obviously better customers than others…I have noticed more than once that they are talking about me, while I was in the store.Shame it’s the only store in Canberra like this to shop in.

Great quality, eclectic range of curios and collectibles at sensible prices. Staff were friendly and helpful
