**February 2024: Monday Late Morning Visit** I've been to a number of Assistance Leagues throughout California and I really like this branches selection and layout. They have a wide selection of women's apparel and four dressing rooms. In the back of the shop are the higher quality items that are also separated by garment type. It has a very boutiquey feel to it and all the volunteers are super sweet. Prices were very fair/competitive to other thrift shops, but I scored a long sleeve and slacks for half off. The next time I'm in the Santa Barbara area I will definitely be back!

Absolutely pathetic! They won't let you in unless you have a number. I'm coming by to support them and they are making me wait outside because they only want so many people in the store. Absolutely pathetic. When they are a nonprofit and decide to let arrogance and superiority become a hallmark of your organization, they really refocus on they are mission removing any condescension.

So many unique items. They let you in by number and only allow a certain amount in the store at a time. Found gorgeous dresses and a stained glass picture! Awesome finds!

My absolute favorite thrift store in the area. The quality and organization is excellent. The folks that work there are helpful, kind yet sometimes stern. It is an excellent place for shop for high end women's and men's clothing. They have more women's high end items in the back with jewelry, china, glassware and some Shoes. Their prices are more than reasonable and they often have $1 rack for items they need to get rid of. They donate to local charities and I shopped there for UCSB undergrads' interview day. I bought over 200 business wear items for $300 to donate. You can't do that anywhere! The ONLY downside is the hours. They are open M/W/Sa - and Saturday morning the lines can be long - because they monitor how many people Can enter (which is appreciated) but if that's the only complaint then I would say KEEP IT UP!

Love this place, it's run by a volunteers (for the most part) So the staff are forever changing and really nice people. They keep things very clean and organized and overall it's a really good shop. They're not open 7 days a week so absolutely check their schedule before going there, but it's well worth it. They have a better than average men's clothing section as well, which is uncommon here in town.

Expect a 2 hour wait outside the thrift store with a huge line to get in. They now limit the inside of the store to 35 people; but don’t require a time limit. We waited in line for over 45 minutes and still hadn’t made it inside the store, not even close. And the thrift store closes at 2 pm, we ended up leaving because we knew we wouldn’t even make it inside. Ive never had to deal with anything like this going to a thrift store. Huge waste of time.

Best thrift shop in Santa Barbara, hands down! I you want to find gems and also help SB community, go visit them! They have tons of local programs. Their volunteers work hard to keep the shop clean and organized, it really shows ♡
