A must see place when in Princeton. The inventory is great and you never know what you may come across. I have found a number of smaller items to add to my homes there. The prices are reasonable and the owner is very nice to chat with. It’s in a wonderful location and please support small businesses!

I am visiting from out of town and had the most lovely experience that I could have asked for while visiting Eclectic Joy! The owner Tina was so kind and personable. She checked to see if we were shopping for anything specific and helped us find some nice items. Her store is absolutely stunning and I’d highly recommend stopping in to see its beauty in person! They offer a nice variety of items and you’ll be sure to find something you love! We can’t wait to come back when we’re back in the area again! Thanks again for a lovely experience!

Great store!

On 10/19/2025 Hannah Rosene Taylor had this to say:
I love this store! I enjoy the curated blend of antiques, new items, and the coffee is an absolute must-buy. Many items throughout our home are from Eclectic Joy. Tina does such a great job of bringing it all together and is a delightful person as well. The building was previously owned by my mom for the past 20 years, and I couldn’t think of a better person to take it over and create a store that fits so perfectly with south Main Street’s vibe and character!

I have told her that if I could hire her to decorate my home I would. She is such a treat, and has always been so helpful, and greeted me so warmly when I have come in. Plus she has the best coffee selection! Seriously so see Tina, you will not regret it!"
