Used, Vintage & Consignment near Benicia, CA

“Adorable shop on First Street in Benicia! I've used them and their partner store, Le Sparkly Chateau, on several occasions for personal gifts as well as personalized gift packages that I have used for corporate events.”

“This place rocks! They’ve recently moved to a bigger space, sort of across the street and to the back of a building, but worth the effort to seek it out. Highly curated clothing, but unlike EBay, you can try stuff on here before you buy. The owner is a kick to chat with as well!”

“Very nice store, tons of items, new and old, fairly priced. The furniture seemed very good quality, was looking for a dining table. The staff are friendly and the young lady helping me was very knowledgeable. Will definitely go back!!!”

“My favorite local charity. They ably bring food security and other securities to downtrodden people locally. I wish they had the magic bullet solution to the overall issue of being downtrodden, but they are definitely the local rock stars in this arena for their niche specialty. Go WPE!”

“Since discovering this place I have had to buy very few new items for my baby. I’ve had success buying gently used clothes, toys and other items. Not only is it good for my wallet but the environment. I also appreciate them posting new items on their social media, which makes it easy to browse new stuff that might be needed in the future.”

“Best vintage clothing collection in the bay!!! The owner is really nice, cool, knowledgeable, and constantly rotates new clothing in, which is all highly curated.

Best place around for cool jackets , jeans, bags, shirts, records, hand made rugs, and more!”

“This review is written in response to the one-star review posted exactly one year ago. First, I want to mention that this thrift store is a wonderful place to discover old electronic parts for console games and an interesting spot to rummage overall. The people I’ve encountered there have always been kind and unassuming.

The one-star review person from exactly one year ago seemed to believe that her perception—possibly a misinterpretation—of one employee’s behavior justified threatening that person’s livelihood. She even recommended that the employee be removed. I believe that if someone upsets you, the best approach is to speak with them directly and try to help them understand how you feel. It’s normal to be irritated by others, but when people don’t act the way we want or expect, it doesn’t give us the right to jeopardize their income or spread negative judgments publicly on a high-visibility platform like Google.

We can never fully know what someone—customer or employee—is going through on any given day. Sometimes simply asking, “Hey, are you okay?” can open a door to understanding. Many of us carry burdens and sorrows while trying to meet our daily obligations, such as going to work. Everyone’s “best” looks different depending on what they’re facing, and even sincere effort can be misunderstood. Expressions, gestures, or habits that our friends understand might look unusual to strangers.

If I think someone seems rude, I often take it as a sign that it might not be the right moment to connect with them. Perhaps they need space for their own thoughts. Employees aren’t servants; they’re fellow humans working within systems and constraints—just like most of us who are not executives with the privilege to “win the game” through wealth, influence, or access. We should support one another. When I’m having a bad day, I need your grace just as much as on my good days. If I try to go through life assuming I can “win” alone, I’m lost—whether someone looks cheerful or grumpy.

If the one-star review person from exactly one year ago has had a change of heart, she can update her review. If she does, I’ll gladly remove this response and simply feel grateful that someone reconsidered an action many of us have taken at one time or another—and later wished we could undo. Maybe this message was meant for her.

Best wishes.”

“A little gem of a thrift store with a well-curated selection of clothes and interesting finds such as beads. The staff is delightful: friendly and helpful. A great experience for experienced thrifters and casual walk-ins alike.”

“Find good little things for good price like the organization. Was hesitant to go because of reviews but decided to try it. Staff was friendly. Not sure why customers are complaining of prices I'm sure there's a certain amount that needs to be charged for them to keep running. Overall had good experience found some nice cloths and my kids like looking around too.”
