Love this store, a must visit place in natchitoches...great variety of items, something for everyone.
Loved the atmosphere of seeing actual items from the past as well as the new "vintage" toys we enjoyed as children. Found several cooking gadgets, too.
had read and heard so many wonderful things about this place that it took over top priority to see. its large and indeed has a lot of stuff but not nearly as neat as i thought it would be. nothing real unusual there. just the same ole stuff you see everywhere.
This store has everything including history! We enjoyed walking through and looking at all the unique items they had. Plus they had a great sale on Christmas decorations that we took advantage of while we were there. I would definitely recommend stopping by.
We visited Natchitoches and made a point of stopping in here, the history and odd assortment of items is worth the time. Some other reviewers have said that it's nothing special & while some of the items they carry can be found in any store it's more the setting and history that make it special than the actually items for sale. All the original items (cash register, elevator, etc) are still in working order and even the youngest employee is well versed in the store's history. We had a wonderful time talking the woman who runs Cockfield's which is located inside. She helped us to put together a terrarium for our dining table and was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. It's not a destination for sure but just a nice place to step back in time and spend a few minutes exploring.
My husband and i loved the old mercantile store. they had so many need things to see both old and new. The people were very friendly and it was like stepping back into time when the general store had everything you needed. So worth the time to stop and take a look!!
Kaffie-Frederick truly does have a little bit of everything. I highly suggest visiting the store during Christmas time. They decorate the upstairs section-it's like a Christmas wonderland!
It is one of the oldest stores in Natchitoches. It carries some of everything. Old type of pots and pans. My grandmother went every Christmas eve and bought a gift for someone. She was born in 1899 and lived to be 90. She shopped there often.
A stop in Kaffie-Frederick is a must when in town. You can view/purchase fine china then go further back into the store and buy parts for your horse and buggy setup! The place is modern as well as a step back in time. Been there countless times but still go just to look or to find that "hard-to-find" hardware item.
An old style hardware store that has lots of old "stuff" and high quality new merchandise. They had everything from barbecue grills and smokers to nuts and bolts.
