My Mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She peacefully passed away at the Granville Hospice that is funded by the proceeds from your store. My daughters and I are very grateful. Thank you.

I love walking by and looking at the pride they put into their windows!! So many amazing treasures. Not comparable to anywhere else as they seem to get the best of the best. Check it out.

The staff are volunteers. They are very nice. And the items are interesting and special. We bought silver-plate teapot and one paint.

This is a great thrift store with a great purpose being it. It was very organized inside with a smaller but nice selection to look through to find a treasure and nothing "junky" seemed to be within their stock. Their prices are medium so they're not the most affordable but they're not outrageous by any means. I would recommend it to a friend and also go back myself. I found a cute cheese board here.

I just saw an older lady (short red hair, glasses, long skirt, vest) in the store Saturday night at midnight but then looked again to see noone there. Please someone respond and tell me someone was working late hours and I didn't just see a ghost. Help :(

I take a look at it every time I pass by. I'm not a collector, but I do know how much certain brands cost at other thrift stores or Facebook market. Personally, I feel the goods here are very average, but the prices are higher.

I’m always going by HobsToo, every couple of weeks or so, to look at their window. They’re always interesting and well done. It’s not like any other charity shop in Vancouver. Everything is displayed artfully and with imagination. Yes, the prices are higher than most thrift shops but the quality of their offerings are much higher than others as well. I walk around the store Googling the prices of items and believe me! I’ve scored some real treasures that I could have spent hundreds, even thousands more at retail! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Even though I live a far distance away, this is the destination I go for when shopping in Vancouver. I took this picture of one of the recent windows just to give an idea of what they do! Thumbs up!

*EDIT* response to stores reply since they had the audacity to respond to me:“Hi there, thanks for your response!It really doesn’t matter if you’re pro profit or non-profit! The issue is prices for items that went up in astronomically! Just becuse Value Village is price gauging people doesn’t mean small businesses should take their example.From spending a couple of hundred dollars in 2020 at your store, it came down to 0 dollars in 2022, because it’s really out of my price range to buy a pretty 10inch x 5inch picture in a frame for $20 where I know I’ve seen the exactly same ones sold for $3,99-$7,99 at other thrift stores and flea markets.On the same day as being in your store, I was at Salvation Army in Broadway where they had a old navy t shirt for $15!You might not want to admit it because you’re “curating your store” but you’re using the same problematic technique as all other greedy thrift stores. People go to thrift stores because they can’t afford antique stores and expensive brand new mall clothing. People are buying used stuff because it’s supposed to be “affordable” for them.So you tell me for who your non for profit business caters to? To bougie old ladies or to all kinds of people like myself who have been thrifting all their life because we can’t afford expensive items?! Yes it’s very hurtful when I find an overpriced item at your store and leave, realizing your prices have become too much. “I can find everything I find at your stores at other locations across BC for 70% less of the prices you have your items priced at.Buyer be ware, these people think they’re so cool and entitled to over price old objects.This thrift store has become the new over priced old ladies store.Picture frames that were $5 back in 2020 are now whopping $20.I straight up told these ladies this store doesn’t represent thrift store title anymore to which I got replied to “our researches find the items worth online”Wow so now we are gonna base prices on things that other amateurs base their prices of whatever they want on eBay and other selling platforms.What a joke, whoever is involved in this business shame on you for creating another overpriced business.

A Rare 5 Stars Here - Top Notch Thrift Store, and the lovely ladies who work there are very helpful.Not a cheap place, but mostly good quality and there are some bargains too.Stuff sells here, so nice to visit every week or so.They have new window displays each month. The items are 4 sale, but only after the display is taken down.Bring them paper bags if you have any extras

Wow, what a cool little shop! Full of all things vintage and beautiful, it was one of our first stops on a recent RETURN TO VANCOUVER trip (woot woot!) and what a fun stop it was. With a staff fully comprised of dedicated volunteers, and a carefully curated inventory often donated by hospice recipients, there are definite treasures to be discovered here. The shop doesn't carry clothing (there's a HOB store just for that, a few miles away) but they do carry everything else. Kitchen items, decor, small furniture, craft items, books, and general bric-a-brac are waiting to be found here. They also have an impressive selection of antiques and vintage items, and I found their prices to be very reasonable although definitely higher than your typical thrift shop. I was also impressed that HOB Too is so used to serving their regular customers, they immediately recognized me as a new customer! One of the volunteers on duty that day even came over to say hi, introduce herself, and see what I thought of the shop. We ended up talking for several minutes. It was a really special experience for me, getting to learn more about the shop and their dedication to raising money for Hospice while serving the vintage/thrift community. This is truly a cool place and I will 100% be back!

Hob Too is a very well organized and unique thrift shop. Most importantly, it benefits the Vancouver Hospice Society. While I haven't purchased anything there yet, I have friends who do and love it. I have donated various items, and they know their 'niche' of west-side shoppers. Lovely volunteers.
