Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We must have driven past the Bazaar 4 times before we made time to stop and go in, so glad we did! It is full of antiques and collectables, clothes and books, toys and treasures.
We must have spent an hour wandering up and down the sections. I believe each booth belongs to someone different, like an unmanned garage sale. The prices vary but seemed very reasonable to me.
After strolling around and looking at everything we went next door to the cafe and had the best chicken sandwich I've had in a long time. Coffee was hot and delicious, the staff were helpful and friendly. Really enjoyed our visit.

This place is wonderful, its a cross between an antique shop and an opp shop. However they also have a splash of new items. Have never been able to resist a bargin. Really well worth a visit.

If you like pouring over "anything" old, this is the place to be. Clothing, automobile and military memorabilia, furniture, books, records the list goes on and on. You can spend hours and hours looking in every little nook and cranny, where you'll find something unusual, special or unique. Check it out when you're in Cowes next.

We got recommended by friends to go here, lots of quirky items, if your a car head, theres lots of service and workshop manuals, easy parking for your ride out front, friendly staff, you will definitely go away with something when you visit. Make sure you allow lots of time to slowly stroll through.

The Bazaar was interesting. I would not recommend the cafe to anyone; coffee was mediocre and the lemon meringue was inedible.

Me and my partner went to eat there in the evening with my sister and her husband. We all had pizza. One Meat Lovers, one Tandoori Chicken and one Veggie. I thought pizzas were nice and good value at $10.90 for a large. We ordered a mixture of beers and a glass of wine to accompany. The old items on sale where interesting to look at. We didn't have ice cream but I noticed there was a large selection. Service was friendly and fast.

I really enjoy coming to this place when I take the trip to Cowes. The gallery is amazing, you could look around for hours and not get bored! There are great antique items for sale. The cafe serves good food at an affordable price, which is fantastic for families. They also make an awesome coffee! The staff have been great to us, very welcoming.

There is a lot of stock on the shelves. There were a few items we were interested in but pricing was very close to full retail. Store otherwise we’ll set out and neat.
