Everyone has to realize the women working here- are volunteering their time and energy to be there. They are not getting paid. The proceed go to scholarship funds. The store has some cute items, but just like any thrift store, you'll have to browse for everything. It smells a like old dusty times & clothes because (gasp!) they are! Everything has been donated. The workers aren't going to go and wash the clothes again. So let's please show these hardworking volunteers some grace. The volunteers are all very sweet and cute. They are friendly and try their best to help. The store has been reorganized and separated to clothing, household goods, etc. Whenever I'm in town, I like to browse and usually find something good.

Very rude women that work here!! I had my dog on a leash and he is very friendly, and he is a Pit Bull mix. They automatically discriminated against him and said very rude things about his breed. And even though they allow dogs in the store, asked us to leave. I will never go back!

Went in for 15 min and got 4 nice work & a party top. Sweet senior volunteers. Tags totalled $19 but somehow I paid almost $25 (checked the tags again, too late, in the car); she emphasized that all the $$ goes to the local Sonoma community. All good, worth $25, just a bit surprised.Tip: double check your total before paying. I'd recommend a donation jar by the cash register.Great way to pass 15 minutes. My teens can't seem to get enough of Whistle Stop finds next door.

I love this place. The place is underrated . They have really nice vintage items and the mens clothes is extremely affordable. Everyone is always nice and the hours are perfect.

If you enjoy the smell of moth balls and a surly little old lady sitting on her stool at the door.

Love this thrift shop! It’s super clean and has amazing prices for the types of items they have there! I was expecting it to be pricier due to the nicer atmosphere and “curated” items, but not at all the case. The only thing is nothing has price tags on them, so you just have to ask the workers. But I can’t wait to come back! Scored an amazing vintage purse on my last trip!

Not only do I find good values in men's jackets and shirts, they give so much to the community. They provide scholarships, help some 2,000 children have Christmas gifts and more. Please support them with donations a well as purchases.

NOT the store it used to be as another reviewer wrote. This store USED to be great with a great selection and good prices. NOW the prices are just crazy and the selection of items for sale is meh.... Perhaps they sell all the good stuff online??? The "good stuff" they have in these stores is junk and the prices (as mentioned above) are seriously over-inflated ESPECIALLY for items they received FOR FREE!!!! Parking is difficult, no employee EVER knows how to use the register. its worth one trip to say you've been there, but you will probably find no need to go back.

The place is run by volunteers who have trouble figuring out how to work the charge machine. But they are sweet, confused, women. the ladies make time to talk to visitors and you won't find that welcome in bay area second hand stores and this is why visitors buy. the market seems to be costume jewelry that visitors feel compelled to buy so they can talk with the older women. the selections are clean, organized, and displayed well in a very small space. However, the prices are a little higher then you will find in second-hand stores in the bay area and the styles are outdated. Also, the selection for men is very limited and runs toward larger sizes in older styles. Unfortunately they don't realize that the newer generation that shops in second-hand stores are uninterested in "antiques" they price as if it was 40 years ago when antiques were more valued. The place exist to give the volunteers something to do. The only reason things sell are because it is near the train station and people feel compelled to buy. I purchased a lamp for $8 I saw the next day in salvation army in alameda for $5. I also purchased a piece of art that was also priced higher than in the bay area and a shirt that would have been two dollars less in the bay area. So there aren't any real bargains if you shop in secondhand stores in the bay area. . If you want efficiency, good prices go elsewhere. If you want to talk to older women then come here.
