“I love this thrift shop! Customer service is excellent, we walked in for the first time and we were greeted instantly. The prices are unbeatable and is very clean and organized. Would definitely recommend!”
“A magical thing happened...
I ran here as fast as I could Saturday night before they closed at 6pm. I found it on Google maps and saw from the pictures that they had a much better jewelry selection than most other second hand stores, and I had been looking for a necklace with big black beads for my kpop demon hunters bird costume for weeks. I didn't make it. I was standing outside the closed door at 6:04ish and saw through the glass two necklaces with giant beads. Yay! I thought I'd come back on Sunday but they didn't open again until Thursday, so I mime-begged the owner to open the door (soooo bad, I know, but the necklace was perfect, I had looked in local shops and stores for the last month, and I wasn't gonna be able to make it back on Thursday). She did a VERY kind thing by opening the door and letting me come in and buy the necklace! The price was really reasonable. I was so elated! I still am just thinking about it. It meant a lot to me that she opened the door when she absolutely did not need to. Will try to remember to post a picture of the costume with the necklace here later.”
“Love this antique shop! Has so many awesome things and I wish I had more money. The man in there was so nice, I forgot his name but his mom started the business. And my son asked for his help on the furbies and he did, he helped him open each one and see if they worked. I definitely would love to come back and spend hours going through all their nooks and crannies. I'm sure there's more wonderful treasure hidden away. I probably over spent but it was worth it! I can't wait to go back!”
“This store is a real asset to El Cerrito. Always nicely arranged and tidy. I noticed that they have an overabundance of outdated clothes that are very colorful. Seems people prefer black, grey and beige these days, so I hope they have an ecological way to dispose of them.”
“(Translated by Google) Very nice place with a good base to help children and adolescents.(Original)Muy bonito lugar a parte buena basa para ayudar a los niños y adolescentes.”
“Always some fun new rotating items! Makes me feel like I’m at the able sisters shop from animal crossing with their displays changing. The staff/volunteers are friendly and make good conversation. Decently priced home goods too!”
“Great place to shop. Whenever I'm looking for something special, I go to the discovery store in Oakland. I am always pleased and amazed at the selection! Check it out!”
“I've found some really cool stuff here, including professional blazers, a one-of-a-kind dress, and an REI jacket. No fitting rooms, but that's unfortunately pretty standard for thrift stores these days.”
“Dress Best For Less is my favorite place to thrift in the East Bay. Great prices and a really varied selection of designer along with great everyday pieces . A plus is that it is a non Profit benefiting kids in the community. Thank you Dress Best For Less”

Thrift Stores
“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!”
“This is a very cool place for the community. There is a plethora of random freebies outside, and inside is a curated shop of hidden vintage treasures and beautiful plants for sale. I love the concept of both inside and out! Outside you have to dig and that is so fun, and I especially like finding bits and bobs for my many art projects. Inside I have found beautiful plants and some really nice decor at a reasonable price. I always enjoy chatting with the owner and she will give you good tips on how to care for your plant.”
“although smaller than the one in West Berkeley, it more densely packed; plus, the staff was very kind and patient as I tried headphones ‘n asked to see to the sizes of several shoes behind the counter. However, I reserve the last star for Out of Closet.”
“The thrift store, started in the 1930’s supports five charities. The shop is staffed primarily, by community volunteers. Wonderful items are donated by generous supporters. Definitely worth a look when in Tiburon on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and some Sundays.”
“cute items for home clothes and accessories. priced well! i may come shop and donate
here! proceeds go to
women in shelters. great mission and vision and style!”
“Be warned before coming here: This place is super small, I wouldn't call it a thrift store but more like a guy who sells used stuff. Don't get me wrong he's quite nice but if you're expecting clothes and vintage stuff don't come. It's mostly used applicances and used electronics. Still worth a visit if you're in the area”
“Donating my clothes is easy, and I always find something to take home with me. Compared to your more typical chain thrift store, I appreciate how well layed-out the store is. Items are organized by size and color, racks aren't overpacked, and backround music is quiet. It makes for a much more pleasant experience. I also enjoy that they always have tag sales on their items that have been around a bit longer, as it ensures you can always find a good deal!”
“My favorite East Bay Goodwill store. They seem to get good stuff more frequently than other stores.
Update: All the Goodwill stores have changed as the market has changed. It's getting harder and harder to find good non-clothing stuff.”
“the staff was totally fine, maybe they changed? But the problem of prices seems to have occurred across all of the stores. $25 for worn out shoes. I thought this store felt less abandoned and more neat than the one in West Berkeley. It’s likely just chance. For the most part though, you might as treat yourself to Daiso for quality new Japanese goods at a cheaper price.”
“I come here often with my teens and this is the best Goodwill in our area! The store is heavily stocked with a variety of items and the staff are always very welcoming and friendly. We love coming here.”
