“I've read most of the reviews here and want to offer a new facet in the way most of the reviews are critiquing the volunteers. Had anyone considered that the unhappy grumpy volunteers could be program recoverers? These women could be survivors of trauma and they get hope while working there. We really do not know what someone has been through. Maybe we need to look at their giftings, etc. And compliment them with our smiles and generous words of encouragement, or a fun joke, etc. Take a risk to cheer, uplift and leave sparkle. I had a career in retail and most customers expect you to be their therapist, wailing wall, servant, or doormat. Our first world problems are so small compared to other places, aren't they? Chin up, cheerio and sparkle for someone else who may need it. :-D”
“Love this place! This is my Sunday stop after church. Michelle is such a sweet and kind lady. And let me mention the books, from educational to novels of romance. If you want to rewind back to 1999 this is the place to go!!'”
“Lovely little shop that’s crammed full of wonderful old (mostly) things! They were very friendly and helpful, when asked; otherwise, I was left to browse peacefully…which I did for a very long time. There’s a lot to see!
I felt that some prices were a bit high, but overall reasonable and fair for the market. And I did buy lots of things: jewelry, beaded necklaces, and some antique sterling silver.
I will definitely be returning!”
“My favorite Hospice Thrift Shoppe! Everything is so neatly organized and the staff is friendly. They have a huge selection of clothes, furniture, and so many more.”
“Great help from the staff. I needed a walker for my Mom but didn't see any until I asked. Debra showed me where there were and helped me pick the right kind. She understood what I was going through with my Mom and made getting the walker enjoyable. A few minutes of compassion made my day since sometimes you feel alone when it comes to caring for your sick parents. Thank you for your support Debra. This place is fantastic I always receive excellent service from everyone and I appreciate all the volunteers”
“This is a great little thrift store located across from Lafayette Park. There is a large variety of clothing, including men's clothing. There are lots of toys for kids of all ages.I went there looking for a choker necklace. However, I found a beautiful bracelet and lightweight animal print shawl.They have lots of helpful volunteers. The profits go to local charities. --”
“Great small-medium size nonprofit store, clean and well-kept with polite and friendly staff (volunteers). Good organization with almost all good quality / gently used pieces. (Always nice when stores do quality control.) If you like books, make sure to check out their art books, cookbooks, kids books etc. Best bets today were women’s clothing & accessories.”
“Beautifully decorated store, full of the smell of fall. Love the little plaza of pumpkins and Halloween costumes! However the prices are a little high as of a Hospice Thrift shop?”
“The best and cleanest boutique thrift store in the area! Really great prices on furniture too! Super sweet manager and staff! I just picked up this kitchen hutch for a steal!”
“AMAZING. They have so many good finds vintage, new, and y2k. You definitely have to hunt but it's worth it. They have cute little carts you can push around which are convenient. I got like 20 things for $60 which was a steal. Very good color tag deals and low low prices. Apparently you can coupon online for more savings! HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR BACK TO SCHOOL SHOPPING ETC.”
“This is the best place to donate. It's a good cause and the volunteers keep the shop clean and maintain a good vibe. They are starting to price a bit high. Some things are higher priced than new in the store. Other than price they get a 5”
“The American Cancer society Discovery Shop in Walnut Creek is the cleanest most well-maintained and curated thrift boutique I have ever been in. The items are high quality desirable and price to sell. The manager does an amazing job with the visuals and displays and Donna, the sales associate is absolutely delightful. She is very knowledgeable and helpful, I always make a point of stopping here whenever I'm in the Walnut Creek area. Also, don't forget to sign into the loyalty program every time. It is the most generous loyalty program that I have ever enrolled in!”

“Children’s resale boutique with a thrift store feel. Reasonable prices, they have a good rotation, every time I go in I find something. A great place to trade your kid’s clothes for the next size up or donate stuff you won’t use. A great asset to the community with friendly owner. It feels good finding second hand goodies here.”
“This location has the nicest staff! They are always helpful and welcome you with a smile. It's also very clean and you can tell they keep things organized. Always great deals to find here. A gem!”
“What a nice thrift store this is. Employees are very nice and helpful. Lots to choose from in the two locations (right across the parking lot from each other). One had clothing, home goods, jewelry & books and the other building has furniture and paintings etc. making donations is easy too. We were sad that the location in Fremont closed down about a year ago but have liked going out to Pleasanton and exploring a different location. Prices are good!”
“I have been donating items there since they opened. Community concern for cats is a county wide effort to help as many kitties in need. I want to give to this location again and again because I love cats and they need to be cared for and loved and found good homes for. Thank you guys for always being there. I’ve moved away, but I’ll always come back.”
“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.”
“This is by far the best goodwill I’ve been to in decades. The prices are unbeatable and they have a ton of great items. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. The store is a little small but still fun to look through.”
“Great selection of adult and kids clothing, household items, shoes, boots etc. All reasonably priced, clean and well organized. Bring some donations and get 20% coupon!”

“The store was clean and organized. The merchandise were clean and in good shape. I especially loved their book section. It was very organized and easy to browse as they were alphabetized by the author's last name. The team members were friendly and helpful.”
