“Was advised to check this place out since I just relocated and needed several furniture items. Not only did I get some furniture, but there were also some other small home items and cool shoes that I went home with. If you need help with delivery, they do have a list of three private people that they refer customers to if you don't have the physical means to move purchased big items. I didn't spend too much time in clothes and shoes since I was on a furniture and home mission, but everything looked well organized and selected where some donation stores look as though items aren't well sorted or some items may not be in good condition to sell. All staff were extremely patient and kind and I will be definitely returning in the future. I feel they have strong community pride, and the business is well worth supporting.”

“4/7/24 was my first visit... & the first time ever that the entire store, minus furniture, has been 75% off!!!!!.... I had a ball. Enjoyed conversing with the owners. Martha was exceptionally nice and informative. The woman who checked me out was super sweet too. Can't wait to go back. In addition to other items, I got a slightly worn pair of Jordan's ... I can't wait to clean them up and bring them back to life!!!”

“I recently found this thrift and I really like it, but I really want to say I think it’s a really beautiful service they’re offering that they will help trans folks with appointments to help them learn to dress for their new body! I love to support somewhere that’s willing to be so kind to the community”

“Everyone who works here is a gem, I love the service they provide (helpful but hands off, perfect for my Gen Z avoidant nature) but not the best selection. Giving 5 stars because no one who works here can really help that. Clothing is decently priced, furniture goods are not as generous, but I get it, we all have to keep the lights on. Overall a great stop and shop for the neighborhood.”

“Great small thrift store! Prices are tagged by color, and the price list is posted behind the counter. The employee working there was very nice, and the store was clean, organized, and easy to browse. They have dressing rooms available, baskets to use, and a rack where you can hang items you're considering so you don't have to carry everything around. There's a good selection of women's and men's clothing, jewelry, and shoes, all fairly priced and affordable. I would definitely come back, and it's also very accessible by transit.”

“Brand name items like Ralph Lauren. A lot still new with tags. Items I got averaged out to ~$10/piece. Wish there was a bit larger plus section. If you wear 2X+, may not find much in your size.”

“10/10 Great brands (J-Crew, Levi's, Banana Republic), mostly gently used but you do find some new and heavily worn items. Lots of toys and dishware. Not a lot of baby clothing, but sometimes they have bottles, diapers, or binkies new. Lots of adult diapers recently so maybe Trump should check them out!”

“Fabulous shop with amazing finds! One of the best curated thrift stores I’ve ever visited - with the best owner! The selection here is incredible; every rack feels intentional and thoughtfully chosen. Clothing, accessories, and home décor are well organized, making it easy to find high-quality pieces.

The store is clean, welcoming, and has a boutique-like feel while still offering great prices. There is care put into sourcing and displaying items.

If you love thrifting but appreciate a well-curated, stylish experience, this place is a gem to seek out. I have found some really unique items. Highly recommend!”
