Disrespectful and dismissive towards customers - Terrible customer service. The lady behind the desk, who i would presume to be the owner or manager, was incredibly rude to my mother and i from the moment we entered the store. She was very dismissive to us and made us feel unwelcome.We politely asked to store our belongings at the front desk as we were aware of how fragile the objects in the store are and did not want to knock anything over as we browsed. Her assistant was very polite and was happy to keep our belongings but the lady at the desk rudely interrupted and told us NO. To quote directly, she asked us if our items were from the store downstairs (what does it matter ?) ,to which we replied yes, and she very aggressively said to take them downstairs NOW". She continued to repeat this until we left the store. Her demeanor was incredibly disrespectful and condescending. Regardless of the reasoning behind why she said this

Loved this place!

A most tempting and facinating collection of antique China.This shop consists of rooms and rooms of tightly stacked porcelain crockery to view, enjoy and to purchase.Gladys, who has been working at Whatnot & China for decades is most helpful and knowledgeable.

My wife's favorite place. You can find all kinds of second hand kitchen wares.

Best place to buy antique china in Cape Town.

Please please do yourself a favour. Visit and be transported into another world of every type of crockery and nik naks under the sun. It’s a museum of crockery !!!

Beautiful little shop filled with fragile things and oddities. Narrow small passageways lined with fine porcelain make this a place to step carefully.Very unique and hidden gem.

This shop deserves some kind of National Monument status or something like that. It is the largest collection of ceramics I have ever seen. There are thousands apon thousands of ceramic plates, teacups, bowls, teapots, ornaments from makers across the globe. This is a real treat if you are a ceramics lover. It's not a place to bring young children unless they are seriously well disciplined. Many other collectable treasures in amongst the ceramics.
