“Love to stop by this well organized store. Yes prices are a bit high for a thrift store but they carry only quality items and proceeds go to a good cause - children's hospital fund. The volunteers here are always amazing!”
“I went here recently for the first time with my girlfriend after being recommended to come here and it was such a lovely experience! All the items are incredibly cute, the store is set up really nicely too! It was very clean and well organized. although I see some reviews complaining about the price, you can't get cute quality clothing and expect it to match Shein prices. The staff were also very kind. I will definitely be coming here again!”
“Kris is a wonderful person and incredibly passionate, friendly, talented, and real. Most of the jewelry she makes herself. The prices are fair and students of any school get 10% off. Definitely come check out this boutique!”
“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!”

“donate to this homeless shelter if you want to help feed the homeless. this shelter does provide a decent meal in the mornings. 7am and evening 5pm everyday. For beds 3 pm.
SAD THING IS THAT MANY NON HOMELESS PEOPLE GO THERE TO TAKE FOOD LEAVING THE REAL HOMELESS WITH NO FOOD. I see people getting there in a nice car. Nice clothes not homeless at all. Some people live right in the block nice homes and cars . But they take the food from the real hungry people that live on the streets.”
“Excellent condition, good variety of commercial office items. Interesting to see price comparisons across each Habitats. This swung high on some furniture, reasonable on building materials.”
“Good place to thrift for cheap clothes and accessories. Items rotate in and out, so grab whatever you want before it eventually goes! They have specific sales depending on the color of the tag as well, so there's a lot of savings here :)”

“Good selection of clothing and friendly workers. Prices are a little high, but I'm used to non-California prices so Im not sure if it's the norm. They have days and weeks with specific discounts for all clothing or specific categories/tags, so look out for those. Also suggest joining their mailing list beforehand to get a coupon for 25% 1 item. July 26-27 is every clothing item for $3 each, so I'd suggest going then. Was annoyed one of the fitting room doors was broken, but the one I used was clean and well-kept.
Prices I noticed/bought from:
Shirts: $6-$12
Shorts: $6-$8
Pants: $8-$12
Dresses: $9-$13
Purses/bags: $15-$25”
“One of my favorite good wills in the area. I love the upstairs section there’s always something that catches my eye and the men’s clothes has some very good options that fit my taste. Down stairs has recently been reorganized for the better.”
“Easy place to drop off your old clothes donations. Can park in the parking lot though it's hard to find a spot there. tip: Receipt is via the QR code now so no more old school paper receipts.”

“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.”
“This location has a pretty large selection or I should say that it has a larger variety of items. Sometimes you find really good items and sometimes you just come up wishing there were more fresh items to look over. The prices are very reasonable and every once in a while you find little bits of history.
This is one I came across today while there and if I had more room in my projects area I would have snapped this up in a heart beat as it was old and also mostly intact.”
“I appreciate all the volunteers and especially the pastor whomever greeted me afterwards to chat for a bit. Going through hard times is tough. Need a little shade while waiting though.Thank you.”
“This review is for donation only. I came on a Monday afternoon at around 1:30pm. There was no wait to donate. To donate, you have to drive behind the building and there will be a large area to self sort (clothes, linens, books, etc). I donated baby furniture such as jumper and bouncer and worker sorted that for me. The guy was very pleasant. I decided to donate here as Hope Thrift (closer to me) doesn't accept baby furnitures. Goodwill doesn't accept car seats though which expires. There is a QR code to scan for receipt.”
“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.”
“3.5/5 stars. The better goodwill on this side of town. Decently busy with customers. Turnover is good so I can always find some things I like. A medium sized store that doesn't take too long to get through but still manages to cram a lot in. Good organization. Employees mainly just man the cashier, open dressing rooms. and leave you alone. Pricing is higher for trendier items or well known brands, which is sometimes worth it, but there's a usually a cheaper alternative somewhere in the store. Last time I went they had a hand sanitizer stand but the sanitizer had a funky smell so you're better off bringing your own if you can. Overall, a solid goodwill that I probably will keep visiting. I'd say they're best for clothing.”
“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.”

“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.”
“Goodwill has made it so easy to donate items that others could use. This eliminates asking people in person, which they decline for various reasons. They are conveniently located at the rear of the building. All items are clearly labeled for different items. Don't trash what people can use!”
“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.”
“The service is awesome all time I go Mallory is running everywhere she’s never standing on only one place she makes sure I always get what I’m looking for“I asked her for a box for toys her answer was that there is non right now but she told me she will check on the back and she como out with one, even if she didn’t find one the service was awesome because she stopped what she was doing to help me” she should get a raise or something for her awesome service ”
“Visited yesterday for the first time I was really impressed on how clean and organized stuff are also they have better selection than the one that I always visit near my house in alum rock, my local goodwill is dusty and the shoes are so worn this goodwill in Milpitas have better everything and the shoes were almost new they had good quality vacuums”
