“The prices here are amazing. Every time i come here i always find something i like! They have a good variety of options and the employees are very sweet, helpful, and welcoming. This is one of my favorite stores to go to. I highly recommend coming here to find some clothes and support a good cause!”
“This is such a unique and beautiful space. During the day it functions as a vintage and mid-century shop and it transforms perfectly into an intimate event space. I hosted a surprise birthday celebration for my boyfriend here and it couldn’t have been more perfect.
The atmosphere, the design, and the amazing selection of mid-century furniture and vintage items created a stylish yet welcoming vibe that made the night feel truly special.
I also couldn’t resist and bought a bunch of beautiful pieces while I was there.
If you’re looking for a one-of-a-kind venue with character and charm, Inretrospect is an amazing choice.”
“Great selection of quality thrifted and antiqued goods. Impressive density in a smaller space. Mostly closely but good furniture and other house accessories. Definitely worth checking out if you're nearby.”
“The manager is very kind. The are fair, the store is clean and they are extremely helpful. I always walk away pleased and feel grateful that I helped a good cause.”
“I went to Serendipity for the first time and really enjoyed Susan's excellent customer service. We found some cute items at reasonable prices. I'll definitely go back for more!”

“I love this shop, whether I’m shopping for home, myself or family I always find beautiful, reasonable gems. I would love to own this shop, what a dream to bless others while having fun. I may volunteer here if possible. God is so Good!!!!!”
“I love the look of Charity’s Closet and how unique the pieces are. Definitely a spot to check out.
However, I’ve observed two situations in which staff spoke to customers in a rude tone.
This has made my shopping experience uncomfortable. Specifically today, March 24th I saw and overheard a staff member being rude to a customer.
Again I am not directly affected, but it would be great if staff could do there job kindly.
Aside from this a great shop.”
“I like this place. They keep their prices lower. The store is always neat. I go there now because the Goodwill, Savers, Salvation Army is terribly high. I will be taking my donations here too. They are smaller but still worth it.”
“The store is well organized, clean, and the prices are decent. Staffed by volunteers who take pride in their store and their commitment to serve Huntington Beach residents. The profits help the community.”
“Great cause and happy to donate my or my family members’ clothing and other items here. I have some clothes I no longer fit in and chose this cause over others because I feel like they truly care about the community. I noticed a negative review below about prices and that person needs a reality check — you don’t haggle when the prices are already rock bottom and likely underpriced. If I had more money I’d pay up to 90% retail just to support their causes.”
“I love this place. I love that they are all volunteers and all the money they make goes to charity unlike most thrift stores. All of the ladies are super friendly and sweet. I donate lots of stuff to this place as well as shop for my kids clothes.”
“Great thrift store! Much of the store is women's and children's clothes, but I felt there were also good selections for men's clothing, houseware, and there some children's toys and stuffed animals too. The prices are low and the vibe is exceptional because mostly only the old ladies know about this one. The cashier was so nice too. I bought my brother a nice jacket. Highly recommended!”
“Cheaper than goodwill. I love it. A pair of grey sweatpants were $3, at goodwill they could've been $8. I Love coming here and spending my money, they have fair/affordable prices.”
“I bought a few early Christmas gifts and a full bag of clothes. They were 50% off today. Gonna go back day after Thanksgiving and get a comforter cover. That will be 50% off that day.”
“I recently stumbled upon the Assistance League in Fullerton and let me tell you, it's like finding a thrift store run by a team of super-friendly, do-gooder superheroes! First off, the place is so clean you could eat off the floor - if you were into that sort of thing, which, let's be honest, who isn't after a good thrift store rummage?
The volunteers? Absolute gems. They greeted me like I was a long-lost cousin at a family reunion where everyone actually likes each other. I swear, one lady was so sweet, I half-expected her to bake me cookies on the spot. And the selection! I found a dinosaur pancake mold from Williams-Sonoma for 50 cents - my breakfasts just got a Jurassic upgrade!
But here's the real kicker: every penny you spend here goes back into the community. They're like the Robin Hood of Fullerton, except instead of stealing from the rich, they're just really good at thrift-shopping and giving back. They help kids with school clothes, seniors with meals, and families in need during the holidays. It's like shopping with a conscience, where your wallet feels good and your heart does too.
So, if you're looking for a place where you can find cool stuff, meet the friendliest humans on earth, and feel like you've done something good, the Assistance League in Fullerton is your spot. Just watch out for the vintage VHS tapes - they might just convince you to start a '90s movie night club. Five stars, would thrift again”

“Great computer store but they have a low selection. I am usually looking for Apple laptops and ps4 games, but each time I go they always disappoint me because the first time I got lucky and got a 2010 MacBook Pro for 19.99 because it needed an os, but after, the first trip, the selection has been worse and many scalpers come and buy items so there are not many items left. The prices are usually too high, but some things they have 2 of but they are different prices”
“Great store and great customer service! It was definitely a relief to find an actual thrift store with thrift store prices in a circle full of absurdly expensive curated vintage stores. I ended up getting a Calvin Klein belt for two dollars, a really cute pair of star earrings for one, and a great pair of snakeskin boots with Vince Neil vibes (love him) for eight. The employees behind the counter were very friendly and helpful. I'll definitely be back”
“Awesome customer service from Maria! The clothing is excellent quality and a good value price! I found a new-condition halogen (Nordstrom brand) blazer and some jewelry.”

“Largest ACS Discovery Shop I've visited. Well stocked, friendly volunteers that acknowledged customers upon entry. Conversation about jewelry with volunteer was inspiring. Take a peek!”
“The last time I went to donate, Alberto was very helpful and polite. As a customer myself, I know sometimes customers can be very rude for no reason, and the employees get punished for it, which is very unfair. Thomas was very helpful as well. I hope on my next visit I get to be welcomed by Alberto and Thomas.”

“BEST Salvation Army EVER. Yes they have fun treasures but it's really the staff that is top notch. Cassy and Jose are fantastic. They always have a smile on their face. And then Dave is just exceptional. He is so helpful, hard working, quick, knowledgeable, friendly and funny. I appreciate them all SO much. It's like the Salvation Army version of Cheers. :)”
“I want to like this thrift store because I often find one or two good things here but it’s frustrating that there is no organization on the clothing racks. Nothing is by size, so you have to look at each individual item to check the size if you like the style. I’m a busy mom and want to come and look for stuff for my son or myself or my husband and it usually just takes too long. The staff are usually just there to socialize with each other. But I still keep coming back…”

“The Eli Home is amazing. I've only purchased clothes but it's generally always in good condition and at reasonable prices. I see that they have a lot of furniture that seems to be in great condition - I haven't had the need to purchase any but I'm sure when I do need some, I'll stop by The Eli Home first.”
“One of the very best thrift stores. Friendly and helpful staff. This location is always fully stocked, lots to choice from and fair pricing. I always leave with a full bag or two.”
“I was very impressed woth the orderliness of this goodwill. The employees were very helpfull. I had a question about the pricing of an item that had apparently lost the tag. The manager of the store was very nice. Overall great experience. Customer service was impressive!”
“I find a lot of really good stuff here the people that work there are very nice. There is a beautiful young Asian girl that works there she's very smart very helpful and a lovely person. Has a great smile on always seems to be content in hrer work.”
“the African American girl with the slick back was super sweet she even complimented my perfume and was sweet, over heard her telling a guest that they had mirrors over there so she can see the clothes on herself ! super sweet get her a raise”
“Hidden gem for more than just babies/children’s clothes! They had so many things- swings, toys, stroller parts, bed sheets, the list goes on and on! Great staff as well!”
“A lot of really cool furniture and really not too crazy pricing! Very eclectic to very traditional, and everything in between.
Very nice and helpful, but NOT pushy salespeople. This location is larger than the second on Superior.”
“My friend lives close by this location and I have been helping her clean out her house. There is a gentleman who works out back in the donation area named Andrew. He is the.sweetest most accommodating guy. He just gives off such a good vibe!!! Thank you Andrew!!! 😊”
