Right across from the Ashby BART station at the busy intersection of Adeline and Ashby, Jack's Antiques offers a step back from the bustling outside world. Since 1946, the purveyor of antique furniture, rugs and other housewares has been providing Berkeley with a glimpse of the past. Its multi-room layout organizes goods by era, with full displays of beds, dressers, dinnerware and more available for the public to peruse firsthand. The large shop also has a backyard area for patrons to relax and take in the store's rustic charm.
