I love this place! The prices are great ( I spend wayyyyyy to much money here). The Instagram stories are so fun to watch and make me sad that I can't shop every single day! The service here is amazing! The people are soooo nice. I don't mind waiting outside so that other people can shop! I love how they restock each shop day. I kind of like the small space, there are so many treasures hidden. I love and cherish everything I buy here. My grandma loves the plants!

One of my happy places! Use to bring everyone who visited me in San Diego here. Wish I could go in on a regular basis but now I live out of state:( miss this place. All the employees are kind, patient and helpful. Small and lovely store. When you go, look high and low for all kinds of treasures. Also go around the bend for a snack and coffee at Garden Coffee

Cute hidden shop with interesting stuff. However, it is run by an old hippie/almost Karen that would rather talk with her friends than help. She seems to resent having to run the place and throws people out on the dot of her strange opening hours and if you are close to time won't let people enter if she thinks they don't have enough time. This is obviously her toy or tax shelter for deductions.

Plans for our San Diego overnight trip included some thrifting. My daughter came across Honest Thrift Studio during her online search. The shop is too cute for words! Although small, the space is nicely laid out with enough room to browse all the thoughtfully placed items -- nothing feels crowded. Customers were respectful and careful around each other. My daughter fell in love with the adorable little Sensitive Plant while the Coral Cactus called to me. We met Terrie at checkout who went over the best way to keep them happy and healthy. She then asked if we wanted to do a "Boomerang". I was confused, but my daughter understood and quickly explained it to me. I was honestly still lost, but we did it. :) Terrie then started me with a loyalty card and took the time to explain how it all works. What a lovely, memorable experience! We are so glad to have found such a wonderful little store. Parking could be a bit challenging, unless you don't mind paying $10 at the small lot right next to it. The cost is reasonable if you're planning to spend some time in Old Town San Diego.

Okaaaay this is the cutest little thrift studio out there!! The owners are kind, the clothes are in good condition, and the prices are set right where they ought to be for donated items. Not sure why there’s a single bad review here!

This store is truly unique. We love the selection of plants. They really are knowledgeable about the plants and are happy to share how to take care of them when you make your purchase. The owners are so very kind and friendly. We love the thrift selections and are very affordable! Thank you for having such a nice store for us to visit! We live in Arkansas but when we're in San Diego we always will make a point to drop by and see what they have.

A hidden gem in Old Town! Not only does the shop sell thrifted goodies, but also plants! Grab a coffee from their sister business Garden Coffee and peruse the treasures

Cutest little shop ever with the most loving and helpful owner in the world. When you enter this shop it is filled with little surprises. I cannot recommend this shop enough. Also has such an amazing coffee shop right next to it.

What a cute hidden gem!! I absolutely loved this cute shop which was a mix of a thrift store of a small section of clothing, shoes, decor, furniture, plants and things for sale! I was on the hunt for specific things and if I end up getting to stay in SD I would love to come back and swoop up some amazing finds!!

Fabulous! Such a sweet little shop bursting at the seams with neat finds and interesting plants to add to your collection. I brought my four year old daughter - and while the small size of the shop can make bringing littles precarious, she was treated so kindly by the owners and made to feel special with little finds of her own and even a "tattoo" (a stamp with their brand on it!) Followed by a yummy coffee and enjoyable breeze at the sister shop "Garden Coffee" next door, it was a perfect afternoon stop!

Extremely tiny store. We had to wait outside because there were only 3 people allowed inside at a time. We waited for more than half an hour to get inside and I was ok with that but once inside I didn't see much of interest. They had many plants, some very expensive ones but not much else. The store has a lot of loyal customers for some reason. The owners seemed very friendly but this place was just not what I was looking for.

I cannot fit my love and adoration for this little studio in one review but here we go... It's exactly as it sounds, a thrift studio so it's quite small but it's almost like going into Ariel's hidden nook and finding knick knacks, thingamabobs, gadgets, and what not lol :) I do enjoy that they only allow 4 folks into the store at once, that way each person can realllly look into the space and come up on random treasures. I mostly come in for plants and plant accessories, you really can't beat their prices on their terracotta pots. It seems each time I come in there's a different variety of plants which is nice, but also very tempting because I seem to walk out with a plant every single time LOL. What really keeps me coming back is the community that Jess & Momma Terrie have cultivated in their small space. Jess & Momma Terrie are so warm and inviting and are helpful from the moment you walk in to the moment you walk out. The 'regulars' of this spot are also so helpful! Just a bunch of random strangers there to help each other out by finding small moments of joy from random thrift finds. The space is exactly as it's intended to be. Highly recommend anyone in the Old Town area to stop by Honest Thrift and if thrifting isn't your thing, take three steps around the corner to their sister business Garden Coffee!
