“I often pop in here to get second hand clothes or shoes for my kids. Recently it was my son's 4th birthday and we were all home sick. He had been asking everyday for over a month if his birthday was tomorrow and if he could please have a spider stuffie. He was so sad to miss his birthday at school and I had had no time to buy him a present because we had back ti back illnesses for a month. I called Kelly's corner, they had one and asked if I could pay over the phone and have her toss it out the door to me so as not to infect anyone .she was so sweet and offered to drive the gift to my house (we lived nearby)after work. She even wrapped it in a gift bag and added a few trinkets. It made his day and meant so much to me. Thank you!”
“This place is absolutely divine!
Incredible pieces that are stunning for so many reasons...the style, the prices, the condition.
I paired my hutch with Horchow candelabra and a gorgeous Bassett table -next to a 96 inch basic but luxurious ivory colored couch. And...Voila!
My place is beautiful!
Thanks Poor Honey's!!!”
“This little store is packed with eclectic items from the world over! There is something for everyone but you have to look carefully! Make sure you come with time to browse, and look closely as every nook and cranny has someone's treasure stashed in it. Every item has a story and the owner knows them all and is happy to share them with you. What a wonderful experience!”
“Fun antique vintage store. We got some playing cards, a fun and unique salt and pepper shaker of 2 squirrels, and a paperweight in the shape of a fat bird. Just to give you a taste”
“Great second hand woman's clothing store! We went with the whole family and found so many great things for my wife. The kids were cheering on mom as she found so many great items. But in all seriousness, there were lots of really nice designer clothing and accessories for women. Great shop!”
“What a wonderful store with a powerful mission! They’ve got a $5 rack of clothing outside and all sorts of lovely things inside like furniture, clothes, jewelry, etc… they’re donation based so your purchase is for a very good cause. And the workers in there are great!”
“This place is wonderful!! It’s my go to for a great present for a baby. I love that they have both new and used stuff, and the sale rack is legit. The people who work there are kind and helpful. It’s so cool that you can sell your high quality baby clothes if you don’t have anyone on the hand me down train. Highly recommended!!”
“I encourage you to go out of your way to visit Mixed Pickles. Owner is super friendly, allows you to pick up their ‘booby trapped’ stock ?. A wonderful gem of curated items, paraphernalia, curiosities, clothing, and some pickle related items of course. The owner screen prints their own flyers, that change regularly. GO VISIT!!!!”
“Highly recommend. I discovered some old silverware sets in a storage garage owned by my ailing parents and needed to appraise them for their trust. I found the owner Niels of Montclair estates on the internet and he was great. Very professional, personable, experienced and knowledgeable. He is accredited by the International Society of Appraisers which is helpful if you need a legal appraisal document for insurance or other legal purposes.
His brick-and-mortar storefront is temporarily modest for reasons you can read about on his website but more than adequate to meet with him so he can begin to evaluate and understand your appraisal needs. Thank-you Niels for the well documented 12-page appraisal I needed for the silverware for my parents Trust.”
“Since living around this area, I love going in there to take a look around their nice selection of vintage clothing and accessories. The downside is, I don't think they have updated their open hours.Went in there around 11 and they were still closed. I hope they update their business hours if they have changed! Would love be able to go when I know they will for sure be open”
“My heart dropped when I showed up at their old Piedmont Ave location and saw they were no longer there. Months later, I heard that they had relocated to 5505 College Ave in Oakland. WHEW!!! I now go there. I love this place, both their vintage items and their customer service! ❤️, Dominic Hicks”
“I love this shop. Great clothes for great prices. The pieces I have gotten from there are high quality, clean, and stylish. Their homewares section is also decent. I try to stop by when I am on Piedmont Ave.”
“My favorite thrift store in the east bay. The selection is truly unbeatable and the volunteer staff are kind and dedicated. However, the new(ish) layout is totally inferior to the way it used to be. I’ve given it some time and an open mind, but I really just hate the way things are laid out now! I loved when the clothing racks and regular/vintage home goods were all on the left hand side and the fancier ceramics and home items were on the right. It’s hard to say why, but the flow of the new space is just really unpleasant. I’ve been back fewer times since the remodel because of the layout, it’s just no longer as relaxing of a shopping experience and is now much more crammed and stressful. I miss the old Bambino. While I’ll remain a loyal customer, I can’t say I’ll be seeking out trips to the shop as regularly. Hopefully they come to their senses and bring back the old layout. ?❤️”
“This is a great flea market with a wide variety of vendors selling MANY different types of things, both new and used. It has a great Latin vibe. Look for the vendor next to the furniture tent for great prices on everything from clothing to electronics and more.”
“An Oakland gem, cool consignment store with an eclectic grab bag of designers. So fun to see what’s in these racks, vintage gunne sax, the kooples, Mara Hoffman, Ulla, Misha and Puff, ace and jig and SO many more.”
“Been here 2 times now and it was pretty tidy, better than a lot of retail stores nowadays only issue is some things were packed so tight it was hard to flip through items. The cashier who was working this past Friday and Monday with the cute braids and absolutely sparkling personality needs a raise, she absolutely lights up the checkout counter if not the whole store with her energy! I hope she stays blessed too!”
“there are FREE BOOKS in the parking lot by the dumpster. i took as many as i could in the time i had. if you go here please consider saving the books from the landfill!!!!!!!!
the wait time to sell took awhile, i sold one pair of pants for $8.70. i took a big bag but im not complaining.”
“super cool shop , friendly staff and unique pieces! I’ve work up the street and have been inside a handful of times, but each time I find a treasure! Love the cooors & the vibes.. definitely worth a trip!”
