“Had a wonderful experience coming here and would recommend to anyone looking for secondhand clothes! I had a few clothing items to donate which was a very seamless process. Afterwards, I purchased some clothes at a really great price. It’s a very organized, clean, and friendly space. Highly recommend this gem in San Leandro and I hope to come back soon!”
“Here to share another wonderful experience! I truly enjoy artsy activities and Mannequin Madness offers these amazing headdresses workshops. Whether you are getting festive for a holiday or themed party or carnival. Judi will help you build the best head accessory. It’s fun, easy, and a great bonding activity with friends. Can’t wait to participate in a workshop soon ??”
“I bought a guitar and they helped me a lot. They delivered to the port because I work on board a cruise ship and allowed me to try it before buying. The guitar was in perfect condition with case and everything as it should be. Thank you so much!”
“Recently discovered this place and they helped my husband clean up his hair right before a short trip! Clean place with awesome workers! Totally would recommend this to anyone five stars!”
“Beautiful event with such lovely deals!
Gorgeous volunteers and a stunning selection throughout.
And how amazing, they even had a limo as the free shuttle! ✨”
“Very personable and friendly staff, a lot of great valued finds- clothing, household items, baby clothes, food items. Thank you for providing this service. ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“If you are over 50, or a "real senior", the Mastick Senior Center is a great place for a variety of activities. I, personally, love Line Dancing, Zumba and Yoga. Come and make friends while staying healthy.”
“I love this store. Amazing prices and the staff is very friendly. Edward always goes above and beyond. He has helped me move furniture multiple times now. I will definitely be back!”
“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!”
“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.”
“(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.”
“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.”
“I’m a thrift store junkie. Savers has become my favorite thrift store. The inventory changes constantly and the prices are reasonable. The people who work there are very pleasant and sometimes quite funny. The store is always clean and organized.
Kudos to the staff at Savers!!”

“Lots of treasures found in this store. The staff was great! I got home and I received a phone call from my dentist office asking if I had been to the Salvation Army today because they found my wallet. The manager at Salvation army found my dentist's card in my wallet and that is how she found me. I really felt everyone went above and beyond to keep my wallet safe and went the extra mile to contact me. I'm so grateful!!!!”
“It's a store full of used items, but the kind staff and reasonable prices make it a gem.
I occasionally find a treasure and it makes the hunting fun.”
“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.”
“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. ?❤️”
“Came here on a crazy 50 percent off everything day and am so grateful for Carlos . He really went above and beyond to help me sort out all my items. Give this man a raise !!”
“Such amazing and kind people! Nice clothing and beautiful place. I left a shirt in the changing room while visiting from Philadelphia, I only realised once I was at the airport and they said they would send it back if I gave my address, 5 months later my shirt has returned home!”
“Love having this in the neighborhood. I appreciate the extended hours. The staff is always so friendly! We’ve bought many items for Halloween costumes, sun hats for my kids and other items as needed over the years. One star knocked off as some days it’s not very clean/tidy. Generally they do a great job moving high volumes of donations around the store.”
“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”
“I love this shop!! Its a great way to start your charity shopping morning. There are great unique finds from artwork to shoes to jewelry. The pricing is a little high but I guess their rent must be too here. The staff is always warm and inviting. They host different events for vintage jewelry or shoes and handbags once in a while so be sure to get on their messaging list.”
“Like most thrift stores, it's pot luck, but this one is pretty decidedly down market. It's worth a snoop every so often, though, because like most thrift stores, you CAN score!”
“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.”

“✨In this economy✨ it’s almost impossible to find frugal shopping experiences this delightful. There is a parking lot, prices are reasonable, the store is CLEAN, and the staff are SO KIND. 12/10 would recommend.”
“This 4 star rating probably isn't fair...the store itself is really big and has a large quantity of items to choose from. However the end result of my visit is that the electronic item I purchased did NOT WORK AT ALL. $21.00 down the drain. And no refunds of course. I really can't blame Eco-Thrift. I blame myself. The store has many self check-out stations and might be one of the better thrift left.”
“This was a great shop for thrifting! The clothing selection is small, but it’s all well gone through because the clothing is quality for a really great price. Shirts were $3 and jackets were $5. There are also furniture pieces, pretty large and brand new! The cashier was really kind too!”
“I gladly donate to this place , will be homelesssoon , got great stuff coming their way, most proceeds go to dying children in hospice, great people, bless them”
