“Great selection of items at this store and the staff is always friendly and helpful. You never know what you will find so it's best to go often. I also like to bring my nicer donations here (versus Goodwill). I know they will be sold for a higher price and the funds go to a great cause. Enjoy!”

“This is a good store if you want to find good branded items. You won't find rock-bottom prices, but they might have brands like J.Crew,J.Jill,Banana Republic,Chicos,Ralph Lauren,and more. The types of items are neatly arranged--jeans,tops,dresses,outerwear, and there are also some housewares as well. There is a good selection of shoes such as Tom's--it amy be hit or miss on sizes, but you can always come back another time. The male employee is friendly and helpful. The clothes all seem to be in good condition.”

“They have a very nice selection of clothing! Everything is sectioned by sizing. They do have a plus size rack and a small fitting room. The store is on the smaller side but definitely one filled with hidden treasures and trinkets :) I would recommend to come early. Staff was very kind and helpful!”

“Found some amazing vintage pieces here! This store is small but MIGHTY. For the quality of items that they carry, I thought the prices were great. They also have an open dressing room, which I love. Expect to spend an average of around $10/item.”

“Places like this are hard to come by: family-owned, lots of vintage and other secondhand gems, and great prices. You will find something unique here. I was also really happy with the size range - I found lots of great trousers and suits in sizes 12-20. Lovely, friendly staff as well.”

“Best shopping experience ever. The in-store vibe is cheery, between the cheerful and engaged staff and the customers. The assortment of women's clothing is magnificent and excellent quality. I bought two pieces of never worn vintage designer clothing and will add this boutique to my shopping locations from now on. Amazing.”

“Tiny little hole in the wall in the heart of beautiful and charming Menlo Park. The clerks have a heart of gold. Affiliated with the American Cancer Society so you're doing a good deed by donating there, or shopping there. The jewelry selection leaves much to be desired. Only the cheaper looking jewelry is displayed, and in a haphazard manner.”

“This is THEE goodwill to go to, amazing prices, absolutely PHENOMENAL staff who will bend over backwards to help the customers find a product or deal, an associate I believe her name was Melissa or Melinda ba something, helped me out superbly, found my product, got amazing service, got some extra equipment to boot, got some new shoes some new toys for kids and even a new treadmill, absolutely superb, this goodwill does it right by hiring amazing staff and caring about the customers and being attentive to their needs, I went there awhile ago and I don't shop any other goodwill anymore!”

“There's a sad lack of quality thrift shops in Fremont ever since my beloved Thrift town closed about five years ago. Recently, we were visiting a store in San Carlos and I looked up thrift shops nearby and came across Thrift center. I was amazed from the moment I watched through the doors. It's clean, very well organized, large, and the items there are higher quality than I've seen another thrift shops. We left with a beautiful leather office chair that was $25, marked at 50% off, so I practically stole it at $12.50. There were some beautiful designer blouses that I snagged, at such low prices that I could not believe my eyes! My companion got four Quality shirts and we left having paid only $43 for everything. The staff is very friendly and helpful, and there are quite a few employees always around, tidying up, or adding new clothes to the racks. All of the employees I tried speaking with only spoke Spanish, but the nice gentleman at the checkout spoke English. My only complaint is that the clothes are not arranged by size, So you have to do some digging to find your size. That could be a bit time-consuming when it comes to men's pants. But the clothes ARE arranged by color, which is nice.. The parking lot is behind the store. You can park on the street directly behind the store and walk through the small parking lot to get to the store. There's also driveway entrance that you can't see very well, immediately after the gas station. All in all, I can't wait to get back there with some friends. It's definitely worth the Dumbarton bridge toll!”

“This is a tiny shop with somewhat limited hours. But if you go at the right time, you'll find some treasures for a very reasonable price! Nice people work there. Check it out!”

“I found a steam canner here for my mom and we got up to the cashier debating whether or not we wanted it. We were a bit sad when we said that we weren't going to keep it and we would just get it when we come back someday, but an amazing cashier, his name is Norman, paid for it for us and let us have it. We're really grateful so if the cashier Norman is reading this, thank you so much.”

“This is my second time dropping off items at this site. It was a quick task as they have categorized large labeled bins for almost everything. The only reason I did t give it a five star was there was little parking space. You also have to drive to the back which was one way in and out.”

“I call this the "high end thrift shop". You can find some nice things but kind of overpriced most of the time. I grew up on second hand stores and very aware of pricing. Most people who shop at thrift stores are on a limited budget, like myself. Sadly cannot always afford some of the items due to overpricing. I realize it goes to a good cause but still disappointing since everything is donated after all.”

“I always always find nice brand name clothes, shoes and household items and accessories such as scarfs and purses. They have an excellent selection and the prices are good. They usually have colored tags sales where certain items are a percentage off.”

“I shop at the Santa Clara location often. Since they remodeled their store I did see their prices increase, however they do seem to have lowered them a bit because of so much criticism. I am not sure how the district office treat their employees . There are several employees at this store that are so dedicated and work their hardest to keep things clean and organized. One in particular is Tyler the Assistant Manager. He is like the Duracell bunny. He has great customer service, respect from his employees, is always moving and always trying to make the store look better. If anyone is looking for a great customer service person he would be a great person to take a chance on. I don't think Goodwill acknowledges some of these people. I would also love to mention Ray, Alban and Atsede for their hard working and customer server skills. They always have a smiling face and are eager to help. Again, I don't know if Goodwill always recognizes employees like this, but they have worked very hard to get where they are and I just wanted to say Thank You,not all people especially in retail are as caring.”

“Went in at 2:30p on a Friday and dropped off 2 boxes. There were 2 people there. One person to collect donations and another person to write the receipt. The person collecting donations was very nice and friendly. Drop off was very easy.”
