I wasn’t expecting such thoughtful curation at this thrift shop. The prices were reasonable, and the visual merchandising was especially impressive. Many treasures to be discovered here!

I go here often. Its great for antiques, jewelry, and clothing. Friendly staff and good fun atmosphere. You really never know what you will find. But its never a bad experience.

This used to be my go-to thrift shop. The designer does some phenomenally inspiring displays, and the store is clean and well-organized. It is still all of those things, BUT....I stopped going there regularly many months ago when the prices absolutely skyrocketed. They are charging astronomical prices, and their merchandise does not warrant what they are charging. Twenty dollars for a used, pilly sweater? Broken christmas ornaments, $5 each? Chipped vase, $20? Previously worn, non-designer shoes, $35? Hardly 'thrift.' They also appear to be much more selective in what they accept in an attempt to appear more 'boutique,' but this has simply eliminated the fun assortment that thrifters enjoy browsing through. The atmosphere in the store has changed and is no longer the fun, lively experience it used to be. Such a disappointment. I went there a few days ago to confirm that things had not improved, and sadly, they haven't. When I commented to one of the employees about my concerns, she acknowledged and mentioned several changes in managers. I prefer to shop where I know my money is going toward a good cause--which it is here--but when it's no longer fun to shop, what's the point? Also, notice in browsing the reviews here that the shop only responds to the 5-star reviews; would love to hear their response to shopper concerns.
