“My experience here was absolutely great! Thank you very much to all the staff, especially to Mr. Aaron and another guy who answered all my questions. They were all so friendly and accommodating to my questions/requests. I will return here because my husband liked the chair I got. He might get the same thing.”

“Great place if you are looking for supplies for house or construction-type projects. Had no idea what to expect but was pleasantly surprised with their quite large selection (and prices!!) of lights/lighting, used tools, nails/screws, yard tools, paint and paint supplies, and a lot more! I will definitely be back when I have more projects. Friendly staff, too!”
“Best thrift store in all the states as far as I'm concerned, and I've been everywhere from Washington state to NYC. I always spend hours here because, beyond just the merchandise, the music and the people make a great atmosphere. 10/10 AMAZING”
“Do you love to look thru random things, and wonder if you could Reuse things for other purposes? Do you love a deal? Man! This place is for you! Come here and try to park on the decline angled section near the loading dock, so you don't have to pay to park! Check out my photos, I was there just a few days ago. Books are $0.10/lb and I actually found White Barn candle, used, but for like $2.00 with a discount, I bought kids books & that candle for a total of about $2.57!! Awesome! They do sell other wacky stuff like a diving board! Medical devices, U of M furniture, dentist chairs, massage tables, Gigantic desks, and other weird stuff!”
“this is the thrift store i go back to most often in the city :) it’s pretty easy to get to either walking or by bus which makes it a nice option for those of us who don’t have cars. i love stocking up on lightbulbs here when i need them + i think a good 60 percent of my wardrobe is from here at this point. staff are really friendly and knowledgeable. i also think they’ve done a great job reorganizing the clothing area in the past year, it’s much easier to navigate now.”
“Love this spot! I usually purchase things off of their Instagram for pick up. The staff are so kind and are always cheerful when I stop in. The selection is definitely well thought-out and well-priced. You're able to get great clothes at fabulous prices.”
“Flamingos is an absolutely magical place! I love taking out-of-town visitors there to introduce them to the quirky, silly, fun side of Minneapolis. They are consistently blown away by both the vibes and the excellent selection of vintage wares. It’s always a joy to peruse each room, and I often do multiple laps per visit. There’s so much to see, and I’ve found some incredible pieces here. My favorite finds are a glass butterfly lamp, a handmade teapot, two vintage teal wooden chairs, and a lovely original painting. My partner has found some incredible vintage men’s clothes too, especially flannels.”
“This is one of the best Thrift Stores in the metro area. Volunteers are helpful, merchandise is top quality and the prices are awesome! It should be on every thrift store lovers list.”
“Great selection! Some of the reviewers here clearly don’t know the effort that goes into not just being a shop, but also PRIMARILY a safe space for many women to gather. Me being a customer comes secondarily to me financially supporting this space.”
“This place is a dream!!! There are bins in the basement level that will consistently be worth the price. And the upper level is new target stuff with tags still on it but marked down! You’re also in a prime area to go get a coffee before or after this thrift!”
“Trying on dresses with Nikolina was the highlight of my wedding dress search. Even my less vintage-inclined friends were impressed with her incredible design knowledge and the vision she cast for modifying each piece to create my own personal aesthetic. She was so fun to work with! Shopping through their selection does require some imagination, but as someone who loves envisioning possibilities, this was half of the adventure. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to create a personal and unique vintage dress or revive a historical piece with sentimental value - you won't regret taking the time to imagine with Nikolina.”

“I myself am shocked at how pricey they are
But I do know this..,. This is the corps income including ringing of the bells that they receive annually
But they do need to lighten it up a bit”

“This place saves lives! It saved my life over 20 years ago, the Salvation Army Adult Rehab Center in Va. Beach, Va.. Today I brought a younger family member that he may go through the program!! This place SAVES LIVES!!”
“one of the best buffalos i've been to across different cities! great selection with adorable vintage pieces among the trendy clothing. employee also offered to hang up my items when i had a million in my arms :') my twenty-something friends and i have different tastes and we all left happily with something”
“Good place to upcycle and give a new home to items that still have more life. Needed warm Jacket in a extra large size to go over a shoulder surgery. I know I can use it for 6 weeks and then re donate for someone else to get more use.”
“Prices seem to be really high ($11 for basic shirts, shorts, ect), and inconsistent (some items being priced high and others low of same quality). Great selection of items, just not the thrifting 'deals' there once were. The staff are lovely, very friendly, feels like a place of community.”

“This is a mixed bag but overall very good. Sometimes the prices make you do a double take as a brand new one from a store costs about the same. But most f the time you can find some really good steals in the store.
I often think about the politics of stores as well and it does appear they are no longer ant-LGBT. IT is important ot me where my dollars go.
The staff is friendly enough for a store of this nature. Anyone expecting Four Seasons attention needs to check themselves.
I get tons of canvases for my art studio here at excellent prices. Almost don't want to tell people that!”
“I’ve been to this store a handful of times in the last 6 months and I’ve absolutely loved every experience I’ve had here! As someone who is plus size, I can’t think of one time that I’ve been able to find something that I actually love and am excited to wear from a consignment/thrift store. But whenever I come here I always fine something amazing!! And for an amazing price too. My favorite part were the jeans because I am NEVER able to find jeans that I like and don’t want to order online at multiple different places and have to deal with returning them if they don’t work out. I was able to find so many brands of denim that I’ve wanted to try but wasn’t able to because of them being online, so thank you Cake!! If you wear plus sized clothing, you HAVE to check this place out. They also switch out inventory frequently so there is always something new. The employees are also so helpful and kind. They do require face masks (at least the last time I was there they did), so don’t forget yours at home!”
