“Excellent store with kind, nice staff and nice clothes. Prices were reasonable, and the store had mainly women's clothes and accessories, not much furniture. They also had some pretty knickknacks”
“Cute store with a nice collection of vintage clothing. However, many of the items have stains or other aesthetic defects, and items cannot be returned. I don’t know if many of the items are worth the price you would pay for them here; many can be found at thrift stores. However, it is convenient to be able to shop in a store that caters exclusively to vintage looks and everything is organized by decade.”
“Incredible merchandising. Welcoming atmosphere. It’s like someone found all the treasures, cleaned and washed everything and set it up in one place! So cute and clean, there are so many cool things to look at that I could shop for hours.”
“Pictures don’t do the pieces in this showroom justice. The timeless designer items speak for themselves.
Steven was polite and knowledgeable. You won’t get a pushy sales pitch, instead a fair price for high quality.”
“excellent vintage tshirt selection. enjoyed wandering through here, this place is such a vibe overall between the music and aesthetics. Pricey $$$ but a solid spot for quirky vintage. (edit: I later called after visiting their store bc I wanted to buy something that I left behind, and they shipped it me lightening fast) 10/10 Cant wait to go back.”
“This store has such a beautiful collection of furniture and other items. What really made the visit special was Carol. She was incredibly warm, friendly and funny. She made the whole experience memorable. This was my first time in and absolutely will NOT be my last. I bought a gorgeous set of cesca dining chairs for a genuinely unbeatable price.”
“Outstanding ‘vintage’ thrift store. Highly recommended. Outstanding array of leather coats & vintage designer dresses & gowns! My wife found a mint condition 80s formal dress that would retail for about $500 for $50. I found an unworn 90s high quality Hawaiian shirt that would easily run $80-100 niche market for $27. Staff/Owners very helpful and personable. This place is a gold mine for knowledgeable buyers looking for one or two 24 kt nuggets in a huge array of pyrite. But even the pyrite is decent, potentially valuable for special uses and fun!”
“This place is great. Every time I travel to Orlando, I try to add this place in my itinerary. Everyone is very pleasant and helpful. Every unique piece of jewelry that I’ve bought has been high quality.”
“Such a nice store with a big assortment of clothing, shoes, jewelry and purses! The owner was so sweet and I will definitely be coming back to shop in the future :)”
“Oh how much I LOVE this place!!! And I appreciate their FREE PLAY for the rest of 2024! I come here regularly to shop for my baby and nieces and allow them to play while I shop and chat with the owner. It’s always a great time! Fun and great price in a convenient location next to other cute shops: plant shop, bakery and places to eat that are kid friendly!”
“I had the opportunity to visit Boomerang Thrift and Gift today, and I must say, I went in with fairly modest expectations but walked out genuinely impressed. As someone who enjoys browsing through thrift stores, I’ve encountered a wide range of atmospheres, from cluttered and chaotic to carefully curated. Boomerang firmly falls into the latter category. Right from the moment I stepped inside, it was clear that a lot of thought and effort has been put into maintaining this space. The organization was absolutely top-notch — everything felt like it had its rightful place, which made navigating the store a breeze. In a space like this, where a variety of goods can sometimes overwhelm, Boomerang’s sense of order was a refreshing surprise.
What really stood out to me, however, was the sheer variety of items available. It wasn’t just your typical second-hand store fare; the selection was eclectic, offering a blend of different styles, eras, and types of items. Whether you’re looking for a quirky piece of home décor, unique accessories, or some hidden gem, Boomerang gives off the feeling that you could easily stumble upon something truly special here.
An unexpected bonus that immediately caught my attention was the presence of both fitting rooms and a bathroom. This may sound like a minor point, but if you’re someone who frequents thrift stores, you’ll know that these conveniences are becoming a rarity. Many thrift stores are doing away with fitting rooms altogether, which can make shopping difficult, especially when you’re dealing with second-hand items that vary in size and fit. The fact that Boomerang still offers fitting rooms is a huge plus, as it allows customers to try on clothes before committing to a purchase. This is something I really appreciated, and it made the shopping experience far more comfortable and convenient. Similarly, the availability of a bathroom adds to the overall customer-friendly environment — another small detail that makes a big difference.
Despite all the positives, there was one aspect of the store that left me somewhat disappointed: the men's clothing section. While the store as a whole had an interesting mix of items, the men’s selection was fairly limited. For a thrift store that’s so well put together, I was hoping for more variety in the men’s department. It felt like the focus leaned more heavily on women's and household items, which left fewer options for men.
Additionally, the way the clothes were organized was something I found less than ideal. Rather than sorting items by size or type, the clothing was organized by color. Now, I understand that organizing by color can create a visually pleasing aesthetic, but for practical shopping purposes, it’s not the best method. As someone who was hoping to quickly find items in my size, this made the process a bit more tedious than it needed to be. It would make much more sense to arrange clothing by size and type, making it easier for customers to quickly find what they’re looking for without having to sift through racks based on color alone.
Overall, while there’s room for improvement in terms of the men's clothing selection and how the items are categorized, I still found Boomerang Thrift and Gift to be a worthwhile visit. The cleanliness, organization, and thoughtful layout of the store truly stand out, and the added conveniences of fitting rooms and a bathroom significantly enhance the shopping experience. With a bit more attention to how the clothing is organized and a broader selection for men, this store could easily become one of the best in its category.”
“Gatorlilly and Pattie are always fun to see!!! The atmosphere in any of the Gatorlilly’s is always very welcoming. The ladies are some of the nicest of any shop. The selection is always great. I never leave a location without making a purchase.”
“My partner’s mother and I visited Chic Boutique yesterday. We had a great experience.
Purses were consigned and the employees were personable and professional. We worked primarily with Mary. She called an associate who gave us all the info we needed to know. The boutique was very tidy and attractive. I highly recommend to go there if you want an excellent consignment store”
“This place is great for dropping off unused items to recycle into the economy. Always curteous and friendly staff help make the drop off smooth and efficient. Thanks for all the work volunteers do!”

“I’ve found some of my favorite dresses here - at incredibly reasonable prices. It very much leans towards the Lily lovers out there, but I’ve gotten some items are pure white, or solid colors that you wouldn’t categorize as Lily - so worth checking out if that isn’t your style. The owner is so nice, very helpful. If you don’t mind second hand clothing, this should be on your “must go & must go repeatedly” list!”
“Incredible place with incredible pieces both costume and vintage. My girlfriend and I were able to STUN at our latest halloween party. Will be back next year. 100 stars”
“Thoroughly enjoyed coming here. Super corky and charming! Picked up a Chinese takeout Christmas ornament for my oldest who recently got married, which was perfect because it's their favorite food. Young lady at the checkout was super friendly and adorable. Made coming to Winter Park at treat!”
“Excellent old school thrift store. The best type where you have to dig to find the good stuff. If this is the type of thrift you like, definitely check it out! This is a hidden gem. ❤ Two thumbs up from husband. ??”
“been shopping at both locations for years ! Great selection for shopping and a good mix of vintage , designer and modern items. All reasonably priced. I also have sold here multiple times and have had more luck here than other resale shops . :)”
“We ended up over in the Oviedo area and shopped at several different consignment shops within about a 30 minute drive. This was absolutely our favorite stop of the day. Incredibly organized (by style/size/color) and everything was clean. The prices were phenomenal for the brands (absolute best prices of any of the other consignment stores on brand name pieces). Great selection of everything and great customer service! We will definitely be back.”
“I haven't done much shopping in Orlando but wanted to check this place out. The amount of good brand items was A+, some of them were priced a little high for second hand, like a Balenciaga top for $250. It was a button up neon yellow that is not likely to be a top you can wear that often. I did find Armani and some Italian cashmere for less than $25 though so I would go again.”
“Call before you go to check if they are giving cash or only store credit, depending on what you are looking for. When I went end of July they were only offering store credit. They offered to buy a lot of my items, but only store credit was a little disappointing. Very friendly employee helped me, she was very kind.”
“This is hands-down, one of the best thrift stores in all of Orlando. The Salvation Army family store on W. Colonial Dr. in Orlando Florida has incredible vintage and antique glass and dishware, vintage clothing, amazing furniture and art and the prices crush other thrift store such as Goodwill. They are so reasonable - and not only that -the staff are so kind. I received the best customer service from Donald and Rachel, Who are beyond patient with me as I always end up arriving about 20 minutes before they close because I’m coming from after work and they are the sweetest most professional people I’ve ever had the privilege of interacting with. I’m going to continue to go there and I encourage anyone who hasn’t been to check out the Salvation Army family store in Orlando Florida on W. Colonial Dr.”
“Love this place. Would’ve been better if the blonde girl with the septum piercing wasn’t nonstop talking mess about the manager. Loud I could hear her my entire time shopping it was annoying”
“Hello, I love this store, I always find what I need. I really like Mrs. Olga's attention. She is very kind and always helps me get what I need. I buy a lot and I always look for her to help me and help me. Thanks help”
“This is one of my favorite thrift stores in Orlando. Honestly they offer more at substantially better prices than most of the chain thrift stores in the area. They have the perfect combination of an abundance of goods and a great variety. When first walking in, it does smell a bit funky, but the clothes never smell and its not so strong as to distract from the experience. I recommend OMG!Thrift to everyone i know.”
“Always good finds, my favorite back-to-school first stop. 1- drop off new to gently used chold items. 2- get store credit for items they will resell. 3- shop for gently used and sometimes new with tags clothes and shoes dor my kiddo. 4- checkout and use my store credit pay in a little (I usually find a lit if cute clothes here) and wallah, first back-to-school chore complete.
Kids grow fast and do not always like the clothes grandma buys them, why not trade them in for what they do like At Once Upon a Child
Your welcome ~

“Great experience selling here, was helping a friend with a closet clean out and made a fair amount of money for the clothes they took! Super cute selection and ambiance in store as well.”
“This store is amazing and so is Susan!!! I was able to get a Fendi bag for $60 and I got it authenticated and it is indeed a real vintage Fendi (pre 1980s purse). I will be wearing it as my everyday bag!”
