Mango Street Kids

This is a really nice place to find gently used items and to sell your items. It’s clean and well organized. They will give you cash on the spot or store credit. You can get decent amount w/​the store credit. They have a great selection on younger kids, 2−4T. Now that my older daughter is 12, there isn’t much for her but I come here to sell clothes my youngest has out grown and although it’s less than I would like, its better to get some cash than none (or try to sell yourself at a garage sale).
I recommend this place to my friends all the time.

This store has undergone some huge changes since the new ownership. The store used to smell old and musky, felt very cluttered and just un-​organized in general. These girls have completely changed the vibe in this store. I am a huge fan of the buy/​sell/​trade for children’s clothing since they grow so fast. I will say that I love bringing the kids used clothes here better then setting up a garage sale, where I would normally spend my day selling clothing only to be haggled down to a quarter or some ridiculous amount. It also helps that I don’t have to store large amounts of clothing for a whole year until the next city wide garage sale. On my last trip here I spotted True Religions, a baby Burberry set and a drop dead gorgeous Marchesa Gown! A Marchesa gown for $ 19.99 and in pristine condition. As far as the selling goes, I love that you can get a store credit or cash for your items on the spot. Anyone who values their time probably feels the same. Like I said, it beats haggling all day. I would make one recommendation to anyone who brings their used items… Trust me! If you bring your clothes washed and ironed you will get more for your clothing as it is less work for them. You wouldn’t want to buy dirty, wrinkled clothes so don’t bring them here and complain about the amount you are getting. I love this store and will be stopping in more often to see what designer items I can find for my ever growing child.

I agree with others who said you can buy new clothes for what you pay for the used ones here. This was my second time coming to sell and this time I decided to keep my items because I didn’t agree with the cash I was offered. So, in the end, I won’t be back to buy or sell.

Great shop for kids clothes and parties! (Oh la la in the back). I just scored some adorable nearly new pink suede Minnetonka boots for only $ 14.99! Always find something great here!

I have never bought anything here but I have bought things here to sell. This was my 3^rd time selling here & they took quite a bit of stuff & all I got was $ 12. Not worth it in my opinion. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll sell here again. I have looked to buy here but honestly in my opinion she wants too much for used things, I am a sale shopper myself & can get things for the same price new. And they aren’t friendly. They talk amongst themselves, don’t welcome you into the store, etc. I’ll be looking elsewhere.

I want to give mango street kids five stars. This place has everything and I want to add it’s under new management. The store isn’t cluttered like it use to be and the staff is working hard to make the store better. They have everything. All sizes for kids and baby’s and furniture and shoes. Anything u can think of. I love this place I will be back for sure.

I am about to be a first time mom and have been looking for the best deals for baby things, I had been to two other second stores and was very impressed with selections, prices and the knowledgeable staff. I am very sad to say this store doesn’t fit any of those qualifications. The store is very dirty, especially the floor! The majority like 90% of the store is for little girls! The staff did not say hello or bother to help me they where more concerned with talking among themselves. The equipment had pieces laying on the floor and missing so you had no idea what type of condition it was in and the pricing for baby swings is with in $ 10 of a brand new one from Amazon! I would tell anyone to skip this store as you can find better deals, better service and cleaner place to buy baby things!!! Very sad

This is one of the best children’s second-​hand clothing stores I’ve ever been in. I was raised feeling «negative» about second-​hand stores, but this one definitely has turned around my views. The condition and quality of the clothing here is very good. There is an excellent selection of clothes for infants, and younger children. As the kids get a bit older, the selection does start to weaken… seeing more sizes up to a youth14 would be nice (especially by the time my younger kids, are at that age ;)
The owner is super nice! She always greets everyone with a smile, and you’d think she was good friends, with everyone she talks to, her vibe is so positive.
My kids enjoy coming along… the play area keeps them well-​entertained! And, my daughter loves picking out new outfits in a store where I don’t say «no» as often… because the prices are so affordable, and the quality is great!

I have allot of nice gently used toddler toys, walker, little tikes, fisher price, little Einstein toys, high chairs, name brand clothes that I was looking to trade.
Someone recently told me about Mango Kids and I thought I would call to schedule an appointment to drop my items off. I call and she tells me” oh you don’t need to make an appointment, I said great, she said you come down on Tuesday and Thursday from 10 – 1:00 and we will take a look at your stuff. «I told her that I have a daycare and I work those days and hours», can I make arrangements out side of those hours? Before I finished my sentence She tell me no, we have a lot of stuff already, your going to have to have someone else drop off your items during those times. We’ll I think not. I don’t even live in Gilroy. We’ll nice doing business with you Mango Kids… you are not going to get my business or my items. I would rather drive to San Jose or Pacific Grove where they are willing to work with me.

The wife and I were split on how to review this place. I say the selection is great, she says the store was so over-​loaded it was hard to shop. I thought prices were a little high, she thought they were about right. I say the place is kept clean enough, she said it had a prevalent odor (the kind typical in used/​surplus/​consignment stores). Maybe I’ve got lower expectations?
Subjective input aside, Mango Street Kids has a LOT of used clothes, toys, car seats, shoes, baby slings, books, and maternity clothes. This place is worth a stop if you really like hunting for bargains (me) but probably not worth it if you’re expecting gently used items (my wife). Her favorite kid’s consignment place is Kid to Kid in Santa Clara, but I’ll leave that Unilocal to her!
Pepper Plant Sauce = NO

I hate to be the negative nelly with all these positive reviews, but the last time I was at MSK I couldn’t really agree with what had been stated. In fact, she had a buy 1, get 1 free deal since there was so much inventory and thus was not purchasing used clothes for the month of december. Here were my observations:
— prices are similar to those of retail. and the clothes are USED. if you’re selling USED clothes to a relatively low-​income area, prices should be very low and competitive so you don’t wind up with huge inventory… which costs you a lot as a business owner
— quality of the clothes really wasn’t that great during my visit (maybe it had been picked over already or remaining seasonal stuff)…I’ve seen much better clothes at Salvation Army and you can get 50% on Wednesdays (paying $ 1 or less per item)
But I do give the owner props for the play area and the décor in the store.

Solid store for used baby items. She has so many play yards, strollers and clothes! I wasn’t sure if I’d find much because my youngest is almost 4, but I picked two shirts and a dress for under $ 14! My daughter was playing in the play area and didnt want to leave.
Def worth stopping by!

It’s been a while since I’ve last reviewed MSK and I still love it. I just dropped a SMALL lot of stuff my kids haven’t used in forever and made enough to buy a train table that came loaded with train tracks, trains, and buildings (some made sounds!) and then had STILL had $ 25 left of credit for whatever else I wanted. She is VERY VERY fair with her prices.
I love, love, love Mango Street Kids? Did I mention how much I love Mango Street? My kids love it there too. Everytime I say that we are heading to Mango Street, the kids jump up and down and get sooooo excited. Usually my kids don’t get excited when I say for example, that we are headed to Target. But when I mention Mango, their eye light up.
I love how clean and organized Amber’s shop is. They now offer buying all items, including clothing, on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 – 1. This is so much better than what was the previous selling option which was that you would need to set an appointment to sell your clothing. I’m not great with appointments so the new options work perfectly for me.
Like I had mentioned before the prices are great. I love how at home I feel there and how clean everything is. The kids play area is great. I love being able to shop with my kids and know that they are being entertained while I’m perusing the store.
Amber is awesome! When I bought the train table I had no one to help me load it in my car. Although she had a store full of people, she still took the time to help me carry the table out of her store and load it in my car.
I can’t tell you the last time I had such GREAT customer service. Stop by, make some money, and buy some really, really cute stuff. You won’t regret it!

Mango Street Kids is a wonderful consignment store for babies, kids and pregnant moms. The owner is friendly and helpful. She supports growth of the downtown area. I feel so at home in her shop! We’ve needed a place like this in Gilroy. The clothes are well chosen, she carries designer & boutique items. There are clothes, toys, shoes, furniture, room accessories, layette, books, strollers, car seats, etc. Selling items to her couldn’t be easier. You schedule a time to come in, she goes through it and usually on the same day (most times within an hour) she offers you either store credit or cash for your items. She’s very generous with her percentage to you. If you are looking for Maternity clothes, come here! You can buy great quality, sometimes high end label items for cheap. Then, in 8 –12 months, you can sell them back! It’s like renting clothes! She also offers handmade accessories by local artisits like head bands, hair bows, caps, reusable lunch/​snack bags and onesies.

Coming from SF and NYC i would say that this place is one of the best consignments stores i have ever been to. The clothes are always clean. Often Ralph Lauren, Laura Ashley, OSH, Baby Bateau etc… the gear rocks as well. Shoes galore, good shoes barely used many sales too.
