“I bought this barrister book case on Saturday and I set to pick it up with other furniture on Monday. I don’t know how it happened. No sign was out on it? It fell off? Someone removed it? They sold it on Sunday. I was very verbal and I’m embarrassed about that but long story short they more than made up for it. Yes I am extremely sad because I had been looking for one for a while now but life goes on. The staff are kind and Ninfa is the epitome of hardworking and helpful and kind. She’s truly a gem at this store. The owner is unbelievably kind and said they donate to 3 charities. You just want to help this store to thrive. That said, please don’t haggle. These items are more than fair in price and it’s going for a good cause. Support your local businesses.”
“One of the best thrift shops I’ve ever been in…I always find an amazing gem. Yesterday it was a new ($800) Brooks Brother’s suit in my size for $42… it’s fun shopping.”
“What a beautiful little antique shop I ran across today. The Owners are extremely nice and welcoming. They were very knowledgeable about the antiques history. My husband bought me the silver tea set as a Valentine gift. I could have left with more but did not to get carried away because I pretty much loved everything.I also like that they had soups and beverages for sale in front of their store with a seating area to eat and enjoy the scenery. I plan to refer others. I will definitely be back!”
“My favorite little thrift store in the NoVa area!
I always get a warm welcome and a kind smile from the volunteers. It's fun to have different music on the radio, depending on who is volunteering that day. We always find something special.
My Mom loves it, too, when she visits. She bought me a mantel chime clock just like my grandmother's, which we found at Pennywise. And she was tickled when I sent her earrings I found there.
I appreciate that the shop will accept my donations -- whatever I have just a few items or a large box, and that the proceeds go to various charities.
Related to the negative consignment review -- the waiting list for consigning at Pennywise, which is volunteer run, is long. But it's been just as difficult to try to consign with the for-profit stores in the area. I suggest that either donating items or selling on Facebook Marketplace would be an easier choice.”
“super cute small thrift store! had a good selection of business casual/formal clothes. had an amazing selection of shoes and bags!! a little more expensive than i expected, sweaters are like 12-13$”
“I LOVE you ladies, your store and even your website! I can't wait to go back!! You have done and are doing such a wonderful job! Your love and compassion shines through in the careful thought that you put into each wonderful display, making the awesome variety of unique keepsakes as well as everyday use items even more enticing, the compassionate way that you always keep your customers in mind while pricing even the higher quality items (such as a fur coat) and in the Huge love in your hearts shared through your donations to charities!! ... and I absolutely love how you all interact with each other and the customers. You are so pleasant, accommodating and seem genuinely happy to be there! Makes all the difference! Thank you!!! Happy New Year!!”
“This place is absolutely gorgeous and has a lot of great finds I bought an almost new pair of Nikes for TWENTY BUCKS YOU HEARD ME RIGHT TWENTY. Definitely going here again next time I’m in Maryland.”
“A little peace of heaven in Old Town Alexandria. Daily dinner, clothing closet, food bank (now on Eisenhower Ave in Alexandria), men's shelter, and other services. The staff were so nice and helpful when I visited them for the first time yesterday.”
“Just stay away from the army jacket guy. Seriously. And be sure not to set your bag or anything down while you try something on or else he will take it, rummage through it and then interrogate and threaten you. Very bizarre. The other workers are very nice though.”
“The volunteers are so sweet and helpful. There are so many treasures to be found. Everything I purchased was lovely. I was so impressed I decided to become a volunteer in the store.”
“HUGE variety, clean, & organized. Profits help local families in need. Furniture, art, glassware, clothing, jewelry. Changing rooms. Prices higher than goodwill but reasonable. And they have a discounted color every week 50-75% off! Good lighting, wheelchair accessible BUT one step to enter. Plenty of free parking.”
“Big sale right now. Open on some saturdays too. The staff are very friendly and stop to help you find what you are looking for. The building is very large but all items are VERY WELL organized on racks and shelves.”

“The offerings at this thrift shop are always of good quality - they often include designer clothing or classic household items. A variety of decorative items also appear, especially for holidays. The staff is always willing to help.”
“The whole store is clean and very nicely color organized. I wasn't able to quite figure out if the clothes were organized by size in any way, but it wasn't too much of a problem as I could just check the size on the tag. Additionally there were changing rooms readily available that were clean, private, and had places to hang items, a mirror, and a chair.
There also seemed to be a good selection of items (clothes, furniture, dishes, shoes, and other things) at reasonable prices. I saw alot of clothing items priced around $6 or $7, but it varied from between $2 and $20 depending on the item.”
“Absolutely wonderful service and I found so many stunning glassware. I came in with no expectations but left with a cart full of boxes. I love this store and the prices are very reasonable.”
“St. Alban's Opportunity Shop is a true gem in the community. With its recent reopening, it continues its legacy of providing quality goods at affordable prices since 1955. The shop's commitment to supporting those in need is commendable, and I am proud to contribute to their cause. The weekly shopping hours are convenient, and the friendly staff always makes my visit enjoyable. Whether I'm looking for clothing, household items, or unique treasures, the Op Shop never disappoints. It's heartwarming to know that my purchases go towards helping the community. I highly recommend paying a visit to this wonderful thrift store.”
“this is my all-time FAVORITE thrift store. I love the how friendly the volunteer staff are, I love supporting the community, and I swear I find the BEST items in this shop.”
“This is a lovely church in Georgetown and just a short walk from M Street. I have been here twice now, once for a funeral and recently for a much more happier occasion, a wedding. It is beautiful inside and well worth a look if you find yourself this way or want to have a wedding here, or a funeral.”

“Found some of the best items I have discovered at a thrift store here. I love that all the items are standard priced which is fair to the community and also people who thrift as a hobby. Overall the staff were great and it was easy to navigate the store. Definitely worth a visit!”
“They have a wide variety of clothing and household items. There is a big collection of pet supplies, lots of harnesses and collars plus small animal supplies. Prices are either on the item or listed on a sheet at the entrance of each room.”
“Growing up very poor these type organizations, especially Catholic Charities, came to our aid and even supplied holiday dinners many times. Because of them we even had presents. So I try and support those who actually support others, not just take your donations for their own profits (like some others...GW). The nice ladies took my donations with a smile and thanked me. They did turn away a few items that were not appropriate for their facilities but that was understandable. The store was clean and looked like a place I'd love to stroll through when I had some more time. Would recommend.”

“What can I say... Thrifting a.k.a. recycling is the way to go. I can't tell you how many things I find that are brand new with tags & this location is no different.I went in specifically looking for some French onion soup crocks, and I found them in brand new condition $3.99 a piece whatta baaaaahhhgin!This location has a bunch and I mean a bunch of brand new with tags George Mason University spirit wear aka shirts & sweatshirts, so if that's your U then go get some gear here for dirt cheap...waaaay cheaper than the campus store!I will say I find Salvation Army, at times, a bit more expensive than Goodwill or Unique but they also have a different selection so you just need to dig. This location also has a drive-through drop off for donations, which I utilize all the time, and they actually retrieve it from your car for you which is amazing. Profits are re-purposed into the programs that they support and used for the good of all concerned.”
“Some neat stuff if you’re really looking but very overpriced. They overflowing with stuff so I image they can’t get rid of it with their prices.
For example, saw this glass jar priced at $15 each when the original Target sticker is still on the bottom for $5. They also had individual wine glasses for $10-15.”
“I have only had positive experiences here. The volunteers who've helped me have been lovely, interesting women. The inventory is pretty incredible, mostly jewelry and home wears. Many things will be listed well under market. To me, it's been a treasure and hope others have good experiences, too.”
“This is my favorite go to Thrift Store, since it is close to my home. It can get very busy at times, but I always find unique & needed things for myself, my home & others the times I hv gone there. They offer an additional discounts on certain days too, which is a bonus & if sign up , you will receive coupons to use that vary in amounts. I like that, as well as it allows me to buy more. Generally the prices for me are fair, bc I know my budget & stick to it. Everything I choose I check out thoroughly before heading to the checkout, because something's can not always be 100% without a flaw or too. The store has its busy times, especially on further discount days, & they have more self serve registers open than a cashier to check you out. They might have (2) cashiers for that, but they are usually fast at checking you out. I have never had any issues with the staff or Mgt. This store definatly has a variety of anything you can think of for yourself, your home & beyond. You must be patient when shopping here, or you might miss something special. I always enjoy going to Unique, as it is my shopping therapy. It is one stop shopping for me. The store is farely big & areas are designated for the things they carry, so pretty easy to navigate & see all in each area. Basically I have never gone here & not come out with goodies I couldn't live without. So if you are a Thrifter, & have not been here, check it out. The store for the most part can be organized, but the shoppers mess it up, the staff do their best to keep the merchandise areas orderly, & put out the merchandise in whatever area they are assigned too, but it has been times I noticed things out of order & waiting to be collected, carts are usually there if you get there early, but it has been times I had to wait on a cart too. All in all, you must be patient to have the Best shopping experience in my opinion. Happy Thrifting everyone! My favorite things to buy are unusual household items, small household items, nic nacs, vintage clothing, & anything unusual that you don't see everyday. It really just depends. I don't always go with something in mind. If I see something I like, I add in my cart, then when I hv finished, I decide what I will buy & put the other items back for someone else to enjoy. They do try & keep the store clean, but the customers make that hard & the furniture area is always a mess at times too. All in all I will continue to shop there, to find my can't live without goodies.”
“I’ve always found some cool stuff whenever I’d come here. Some of the items are a bit overpriced but for the most part, I think it’s pretty reasonable. Their staff is very kind as well!”

“Mid sized thrift store— clothing items are tagged with different colours for sizing and sorted by size. The little plastic tag barbs have different colours, which may or may not be associated with discounts. Each type of clothing is supposed to be one price- dresses are all $11.99, sleeveless tops $4.99. Fitting rooms are available but close 1-1.5 hours before the store closes. There is a kind of chaotic energy to this store (see books pic), along with some organizational quirks— eg the end caps on the housewares aisles were curated by colour.”

“Adorable cozy little cottage nestled up in-between a row of antique stores. This shop is a great go-to for vintage tea sets, saucers, glassware, textiles, pottery, and even artwork. They also have a room dedicated to books and another to fashion items. All purchases go towards charity! Kensington has a street dedicated to antique retailers, consignors and upcyclists which goes by "Kensington Antique Row." More information can be viewed at: kensingtonantiquerow.com.”
“I purchased the find of the century here, a brand new navy LoveSac sectional that had been previously used in staging. I’ve also found Afghan rugs that did require cleaning but were a very fair price and oyster plates and blue and white china and vintage tennis racquets for decor. They have a fantastic selection of furniture for someone on a budget. Today I spotted two solid wood twin four post beds from a very high end brand. They have a great selection of pre owned doors and cabinets and their mirror selection is good too. The staff and volunteers are very helpful and it’s easy to pull behind the store and have them help you load your items. They treat everyone respectfully. This store benefits a nonprofit so I like keeping items out of a landfill while helping individuals and families secure housing.”

“They have an entire floor downstairs dedicated to upscale furniture and housewares. Designer clothing upstairs and reasonable price. Just don't expect thrift store prices.”
