“Saw this spot while going to the city hall and knew I had to stop by! The owner is very kind and has a great knack for helping you find what you're looking for. I left with all the pieces I needed for my Bucky Barnes costume! The prices are great and so is the customer service. I definitely reccomend this place.”

“I lost something in an item I had donated earlier that day and all of the employees and the manager were so so nice and helpful in looking for it. I found it at home later but I still greatly appreciated their service. I’ve found some great items there too.”

“A very cute thrift store in Japantown! My partner and I have been a couple of times, and always leave with a couple of trinkets. They have a decent selection of Sanrio items, clothing, Smiskis, and Sonny Angels. They also have stickers and keychains from local creators. We’ll be back!”

“I am blessed to have this store in my town. The prices are affordable and their furniture is solid wood none of that cheep stuff you find in today's overpriced furniture stores. The people there are beautiful souls. I recommend this establishment 1000 times over before any other to family and friends, neighbors and just random strangers. God bless their humble souls and their great spirit of service to others in our community and surrounding towns.”

“Great little sustainable gem in downtown San Jose! Mostly women's clothing with some men's vintage items. All items are hand curated by the owner Araceli who is super nice and helpful. Free two hour parking in the parking garage behind the shop.”

“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.”

“Awesome location! Worker at the loft was nice and he was more than happy to show me some items in the case. This goodwill in particular is always my #1 compared to others in the area when it comes to variety, cleanliness, and customer service.”

“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.”

“This place is a non profit thrift store run by volunteers. They are lovely ladies that work here. I have found some beautiful vintage items here. They take donated clothing items and housewares as well. Very hospitable and kind workers here ?
EDIT: Please disregard the moron that had the audacity to leave a bad review based on her trying to haggle prices at this non profit thrift shop and got pissed when the volunteers told her they couldn't change the prices. These volunteers do not get paid to deal with your greedy attitude ?”

“Word of advice: Bring a tape measure and have someone at home to double check your measurements there. If you think you can come back later, the item will have likely sold. Shopping here is inspiring. Thx!”

“Though I did not have any communication with this person, I believe she may have been the manager, but I'm not sure. She was so very helpful to customers and the way she handled herself was very professional. I was thinking that she was a great asset to the store. I wanted to tell someone or even her but by the time I went to check-out, she was no longer at the counter and there was a line and I didn't want to extend my stay or cause more busyness for the two gals at the counter. She was impressive to see interact with customers.”

“Dropped off my donation very easily. It is not a store or a shop. It’s just a drop off center which was great. The signage is a little bit hard to find, but it’s there.”

“Fantastic thrift spot with a real mission! Always find great deals on clothes, books, household items, and even some hidden gems—prices are super reasonable and the selection is huge. Stores are clean, organized, and well-staffed with friendly folks. Love knowing my purchases and donations support job training and employment programs for people in the community. Easy donation drop-offs too. One of the best Goodwills around—definitely worth checking out any location in Silicon Valley!
(Highly recommend for thrifting with purpose!)”

“Goodwill on Alum Rock Avenue is a mixed experience, with a decent selection of clothing, furniture, and household items, but organization can be inconsistent. Some shoppers find great deals on name-brand clothing, while others mention that pricing can be unpredictable. The store layout is spacious, though certain sections feel cluttered.

Customer service is friendly but sometimes understaffed, leading to longer checkout times. While the store offers a variety of items, inventory rotates frequently, so finding specific pieces may require multiple visits. Despite occasional stock inconsistencies, it remains a solid thrift shopping option.”

“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 :)”

I couldn't find much for plus size women's sizes.”

“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!”
