Quite small compared to the Fremont location, but with a little bit of digging, you might be able to unearth something. Seemed pretty picked over when I visited today, but that's most likely because the holidays are just around the corner. Seems like housewares were priced better than clothing, especially for seasonal items like winter jackets. My friend Shanna found a North Face jacket without a tag and was quoted $40, even though the other North Face jackets on the rack were $20. I found a vintage beaded mint green silk sweater for $7. Selection does not seem to contain too much vintage, which is more of what I generally hunt. Here, there's a lot of dated fast fashion and business casual.Worth a look if you're in the area.

They weren't very nice and refused to let me buy something off the mannequin ... I'm assuming the necklace I wanted was a donation, not sure why I wasn't allowed to buy it

I'm a huge thriftier and always looking for new shops. Stumbled on this one and did find a few goodies. Prices are fair. Inventory is rather dated. They have a small kids and men's sections. If you're in the area swing in. Service was good.

Nearly useless without a fitting room.Requiring masks should make it safe. Could say "use at your own risk."At least we would have a choice.

I'm an avid thrifter and this is one of the better thrift stores I've come across. Everything is pretty reasonably priced for what it is, especially compared to Goodwill and other thrifts. They definitely do price certain items a little higher (name brands, new with tags, etc.) but it's not as terrible as most other places, and still a place I'd recommend to find some treasures on a budget. The store is clean and nicely organized. I went on a Thursday afternoon so it wasn't too busy and not super loud/hectic. Can't speak for weekends or other popular times.The store is predominantly womens' clothes. They have a good variety in brands, prices, and types of clothing. They have a good mix of vintage and more "modern, trendy" brands and styles. The child and men's section is a little on the smaller side, so if you're primarily looking for that, you won't have as much luck. Though I am on the younger side, I do enjoy how this store doesn't try to cater to my age group or "trends", so they attract a more considerate customer base in my opinion. I didn't interact with the employees aside from checkout but the woman was very nice :)

It's the cutest little thrift shop. A little hidden gem on the edge of the downtown San Mateo area. As it goes with every thrift shop, you never really know what you're going to find. But it's definitely fun to sort through. I've seen my fair share of modern brands and ones that have seen more time. Despite having older clothing they usually have good quality, wearable clothes on their rack. Definitely worth a visit or two!

Tried to donate some stuff. But they are very areogant and snooty. They picked and chose thru my perfectly acceptable second hand goods, and gave back the things they decided wernt good enough for them. One was a backing sheet with a soke discoloration. And other were a while set of plastic bowls and cups. Then they gave back the empty cardboard boxed and made me dunp them. Im trying to give you stuff, at least be grateful and say thank you. Very rude, woulnt support them in the future.

I attempted to donate two large boxes of clothes yesterday.They were high quality, many with the original tags attached. I believe sales value in a thrift store environment would have been a minimum of several hundred dollars. Everything was rejected because (A) "pet hair" was seen on some of the clothes. Also it was noted that (B) some of the items inspected had stains on them. Very few items were examined before both boxes were rejected. (A) there was pet hair on some of the items. (B) I do not retain stained clothes. Any "stains" would have been nothing more than dust accumulated during storage. I was aware of both situations but assumed that the thrift stores do routine laundering of donated items. Apparently not - I was told that donated items needed to be ready for immediate display. That clothes are not laundered before putting them up for sale is alarming. I took my donation elsewhere and it was gratefully accepted. To allow them to be so dismissive of donations, this thrift store must be doing extremely well financially. I have long donated to Saint Vincent de Paul in Redwood City and never received this kind of treatment. I went to San Mateo as I understand Redwood City is not currently open.

**During Quarantine Review: April 2021**This is a good mid-sized community based thrift shop with a good assortment of clothes (both men and women). There was one small high end rack (Burberry was the only one I recalled) and they were all secured to the rack, but the vast majority of items were in the affordable and mid-tier range (ie. H&M, Forever 21 to Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, etc). They had shoe/boot section, dresses, jackets, coats, pants, tops for women and a midsize mens section. I think during my visit blue tagged items were 50% off, but you can't double dip with promotions. At the time I think yelp offered a $5 off your purchase, so depending on your treasure hunt you'll need to be mindful on which is the better bargain!I would come back again! Notes-no changing room available-some floor length mirrors scattered around the store-coined metered parking
