“This very sweet girl names Mya had help me throughout my experience. She had helped me get a changing room and help me find ideas I’ve been looking for. She had a very nice tone of voice and smiled 24/7 while talking to her.”
“Highly recommend! Jon (owner) is passionate about his business and a staple to the BV community. Lots of great items (new and gently used)! He’s very knowledgeable and helpful, and just an all around great person to chat with. Stop in, say hi and check out all the cool outdoor gear!”
“Love the back hall venue. It's so friggin adorable. There is so much to look at. Have to come back for the actual antique portion in the front of the space now.”
“What an amazing shop! It's clear that so much love and care went into this space. The selection is fantastic and the owners are warm and friendly. The overall vibe is fantastic.”
“My Poodles and our family love The Ottoman Society. It is very hard to find beautiful high quality unique finds and this is the place to go for yourself or for gifts!”
“Yes, they are only open the last full weekend of the month, but it's no biggie if you follow them on Instagram or check their website before heading over. Great store with new items every single month! Friendly staff, fair prices, and truly a unique vintage shop that cares about the entire shopping experience. This is how vintage is done right. It's a must go!”
“My new favorite consignment shop ... Debbie is nothing short of amazing! She was helpful & personable, and the merchandise feels like the perfect blend of thrift and curated. Will be back again!”
“Really, really unique selection and reasonable prices- especially for such fantastic finds. I got a really cute pair of sunglasses and I had to stop myself from getting a fur coat. Mary is a very sweet and welcoming lady. The space is rich with soulful energy from times' past- there were too many pieces that I wanted to take home, that I had yearned to find for all the decades I've been thrifting. I was short on time so I couldn't stay forever, but I will absolutely be returning! Thank you!”
“Great shoe selection! Was able to find my daughter some back to school shoes and came back to find some bday shoes for her at short notice. VT and the rest of the staff were very helpful! Will definitely be back.”
“Came in today to do some shopping and had my little kids with me. Ashley was working and saw that my kids were bored and offered to sit and hangout with them so I could look around. It might be the nicest thing anyone has done for me in a long long time. Ashley has a kind and pure soul and is a beam of joy. It was such a delight to cross paths with them.”
“Wow this place is amazing. Super nice and attentive. Lots and lots of stuff! You'll probably find what you're looking for here. The majority of the things did not have price tags, which I found to be really inconvenient because I didn't want to have to keep asking how much this and how much that cost. For that reason alone, I would only return if I could locate what I really wanted here. Additionally, there is a service fee for using a credit card. Go check them out. I think you'll enjoy it.”
“Found this gem of a shop while in Milwaukee for Summer Fest 2025. The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable about the surrounding areas. I highly recommending swinging in for a visit!”
“No matter What you go looking for, you definitely find wayy more lol Friendly staff The prices are so affordable. Had a good time finding everything under the Roof!!”
“I recently had the pleasure of attending Alive a Fine's annual Easter event for the 2nd year in a row, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience! The free egg hunt for kids, complete with treats and candy is such a heartwarming touch and it was so fun to see the look on my son's face as he opened the eggs. They also have drinks for kids (and adults) which are very appreciated!
The owner and staff of Alive a Fine exudes kindness, which reflects in the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the store. It's evident that they take great care in curating their selection of cool clothing and housewares, creating a space that appeals to a wide range of tastes.
Overall, the Easter event at Alive a Fine is a wonderful tradition for the community, and we look forward to attending for years to come. It's an opportunity to enjoy the festivities, support local artists like Margaret Muza who does beautiful tintype photography during the event, and discover unique treasures in the store. I highly recommend Alive a Fine to anyone looking for a memorable shopping experience coupled with community engagement.”
“They were friendly, had the product I wanted and ready to go. They took out the product and made sure it worked. I will be going back. Small packed store great to look around.”
“Such a upscale, awesome space filled with delights. If you are looking for something classic, curious or dazzling and money is not an object, check this place out. Very cool circus banners, great costumes and exquisite furniture await.”
“L ove this place. There's a young African American girl works in the front that is always exceptional as cashier and being over-all friendly and informative. Truly..the entire staff has always been authentically nice and helpful...”
“Really cool shop! Lots of vintage and antique treasures to explore, and the shopkeepers were wonderful to talk to. Mainly furniture, jewelry, books, records, and and funky little items. Cool to check out with a dear friend and just explore. Needs more attention!!”
“I was shopping for some fall clothing today in the area, so I decided to stop and check this store out. I have been to other Salvation Army locations, but never this one. I found some great sweaters here. Prices are pretty standard compared to other thrift stores currently. I believe most items I bought were between $4.99 - $6.99. There was the sweetest man working the cash register, too! My only issue with my visit was an employee who approached me with a pretty rude tone. She seemed irritated with me and I’m not sure why. Maybe I was doing something wrong and didn’t realize it or maybe she was having a bad day ?♀️ Anyways, I was still very glad I stopped here and would definitely recommend stopping by.”
“I love the salvation army and what it still does to help the community one of the best and honest still out there. The store was very clean and had good customer service as well. Nice furniture for cheap prices.”
“What a fabulous place to shop folks… Clean, current and classic styles, all gently used and priced perfectly. The best part is KC and Kristin had the most positive vibes. Where have you been lately that employees are happy, treat you like a customer and are extremely helpful? Me: nowhere, except Plato’s closet Brookfield !”
“Got the pleasure of stopping in this store the other day and met both of the owners who were both fantastic to have a chat with and very kind! Absolutely cannot beat the prices in this store anywhere else and I'll absolutely be coming back to do some more digging soon ? thank you guys for the awesome disc golf bag and keep up the great work and store!”
