“I recently upgraded and decluttered my sailboat. I brought all of my older, I working order equipment and items to Mike’s. Easy way to get a few bucks for the items that will get new life in someone else’s boat!
Highly recommend!”
“This place had so much stuff. It’s like a warehouse of antique booths. I got a christmas ornament here for a gift exchange. Prices are reasonable and it’s better quality stuff than you would find at other common thrift store chains.”
“A hidden Gem ? Great selection of Pokemon Cards ! They Gave our daughter 20%off on her first booster pack ! Will be returning for more and highly recommend this place for collectors ! Amazing prices”
“True Ventura gem! My family and I randomly stumbled into this shop and we couldn’t believe how incredible the selection was. The family running the shop was super nice and helped me style my son from head to toe! Thank you John and Jordan! We’ll be back for sure!”
“Got a vintage Eddie Bauer shetland wool sweater for less than $50. With the tag still on it. Yeah.Really reasonable prices with plenty cool vintage shoes, clothes, and jewelry. Great place to stop by every once in a while to see what's new.”
“Vintage burgundy & white checkered flooring greet you at the door. With natural light beaming from the skylights from the exposed beams, the cacti, to the crystal selections-the earthy vibes here ground you. You will find an array of household, beauty, clothing , baby, and handmade local goods. They were pouring candles when I visited.Every item feels special and hand-picked to ensure craft & quality.Definitely make a visit. I picked up some Charlotte Stone shoes!! Great place to find a gift and maybe something for you too!”
“By far this store is my favorite place to find treasures. I save myself many hours from digging through old items at dirty thrift stores. I love the ambiance at this precious store. I have found many special pieces to add to my collection of vintage clothing. Top quality and great service. I really love to support small businesses in our beautiful town of Ventura.”

“I wanted to check out Main Street since they had closed a lot of the street to traffic. It's really nice to walk there without all the cars and traffic. I was looking for some nice and unique tops. Since I retired about a year ago, I have purchased very few items of clothing. I am really concerned about the impact of the fashion industry on the environment and climate change. So I thought that it would be better to give some clothing a second chance rather than buying brand new ones. The women's clothing was arranged by color and the store was pretty neat and clean. I spent some time going through the racks and most of the women's clothing was gently used or new. I found about five tops that I really liked and they ranged in price from $1.75 to $7. One top was even brand new with the tags still on! Most of the tops fit very well but others were a little big and I'm going to take them in with my sewing machine. I may even change the tops a little bit. I am trying to get back into sewing but I just haven't been able to start making any clothes for myself. However, the most wonderful thing happened after I got these tops: I could see how to change or modify them and I started sewing. It was a miracle! The cashier was very friendly and even complemented the blouse I was wearing. I did notice on the way out they had a chalk board with their special pricing by color. I can't wait to go back!”
“Can be hit or miss at this location as far as having good items, and also with the staff. I've had a range from a really awesome experience here with super helpful employees, and then had some not-so-helpful but not rude experiences as well. Just more quiet/ introvert type employees who weren't really helpful when I asked for assistance (like I had 10+ items in my hands that I planned to buy, but couldn't carry them anymore as I wanted to keep shopping, and the person at the counter was annoyed I wanted to have them held. I've also had an employee not put my items in the right place/ or indicate they are being held and all my things I planned to buy were put back while I was trying on other items in the fitting room. Such a drag! ?♀️) I live out of the area but come through here every few weeks and this location has decent enough buyers that I routinely make it a point to stop here. I've gone bananas and found $500+ of worthwhile items, and then sometimes don't find a single thing. I completely understand that that is the nature of this kind of store, however, and it's always fun to look.”
“One of my favorite places to shop in Ventura. I’m a picker, collector, and online/eBay seller, and I consistently find cool items here at reasonable prices that I can enjoy and/or resell, along with plenty of clothes that I personally wear.
The selection is always solid, and I really appreciate how well everything is organized by size (not all thrift stores do this). It makes shopping so much easier. Great deals, good organization, and a place I truly enjoy coming back to.
Like anywhere, not everything here is a deal right away, and some items can be priced higher at first. I’ve also noticed that when things don’t sell, they get marked down over time, which I really appreciate.
I understand it can be frustrating when something you want is more than you’d like to pay, but that’s true at estate sales, swap meets, auctions—pretty much everywhere. The key is being patient and knowing how to shop.
Overall, they’re an important part of the community, a place that’s been here for years and stayed consistent. It’s always been one of my favorite spots to shop in downtown Ventura.”
“Such a cute store! Came here this past December to buy unique Christmas gifts for family and felt like buying the whole store! I love the commitment to hosting local artisans and that it is a female owned company.”
