Absolutely adored this store. It’s a throwback to what I expect in a St V de P and they’ve strayed away from in Seattle/Tacoma, where I live. I expect good prices and more vintage than the average thrift at a St. V de P — and this one didn’t disappoint. I suppose it depends on what you’re shopping for, but I saw some fun stuff. Lots of little costume jewelry pieces, knick knacks and linens. Clothes were mediocre — both in terms of quality and selection. Prices are excellent. It’s a small store, so I wouldn’t go expecting to find bins and bins to sort through. Another thing I love at a good St. V de P: they have religious statues on display. I found a beautiful plaque of Mary and a lovely prayer card of St. Rita that I put with other pieces in a kind of nicho in my house. Lovely volunteer working the register. I look forward to returning!

The best part about this St Vinnie’s is that they take donations during all open hours. I live close by and my grandmother and I have been cleaning out our old stuff. It’s so nice to know I can drop by and drop off donations any time. The selection is good, and I often find useful things. It is more expensive than other thrift stores(the missing star). But the money goes to helping the homeless, so I just think of it as a donation.

TONS of stuff jammed into a small space. Kids’ books & toys were outrageously priced but women’s clothes were very reasonable.(Who sets the prices??!) I only wish the $ 2.50 pair of Citizens of Humanity jeans had fit me… hell, I shoulda bought them anyway.

I always come in here hoping to find some treasure discarded from a rich PG household, but I usually end up seeing items from the 80’s. There are some interesting finds here: jewelry, housewares, decorative items, clothing, shoes, purses. The staff is super friendly and it’s fun to browse, but I rarely buy anything there.

Stuff for sale — 1 star Pet Friendly — 5 stars Like other reviewers, I was expecting to find some nice stuff given its Pacific Grove location but… sorry. Clothes were 50% off but you couldn’t pay me to take the spaghetti stained Koret sweater. Lots of knick knacks and yarn if that’s your thing. Staff was very friendly Every old lady working offered Josie a treat. They made us feel very welcomed but I wished their selection was better.

I used to absolutely LOVE this thrift store. until about a year ago. Now?.. house ware items, knick knacks and certain«specified» clothing items have become so overpriced it’s ridiculous. You’re better off going to ROSS or Marshall’s. ’cause you’ll get similar stuff for the same prices. and they’ll be NEW. Their volunteer staff still rocks, though.

Really sweet old lady working the counter, but the selection was not so sweet. You’d think that with the folks living around here there would be higher quality stuff being thrown out, but apparently it doesn’t land here. Clothes were dirty, very heavily worn, and not well organized. I rarely leave a thrift store finding nothing I want to buy, but I didn’t find a thing here I’d even think about taking home.

Donation Station! One of the very few shops still accepting donated books! The volunteer workers are very friendly and helpful. The day old bread give away is a sweet gesture. Everyday some items are ½ off, while last Saturday of the month everything is ½ off. A Christian fund raising store to aid the less fortunate, kudos to them! Donate, or give them a helping hand!

If this is the store I am thinking about all I have to say is EWW! I didn’t like it at all. Not very clean and a lot of junky items. Places like this make me love Nordstrom’s more everyday.
