    I found the perfect couch here, great condition and price. You can find some really awesome pieces here, the book section is massive and they run sales frequently! Definitely my favorite spot to thrift in Brooklyn

    Great place for thrift shopping. Tons of stuff (I like bright colors but they also have basics) but not too much to be overwhelming. I'm the kind of shopper who needs to see every item, and the store's well organized! Prices are great too. There's a changing room and plenty of mirrors. This area's got a lot of thrift but this is my favorite. I guess not many people know about it as they're always fairly empty. More for me!

    Everything is very neat and in order compared to other thrift stores. You can dig up great and UNIQUE finds. Also, they have big selection of dresses (however no petite sizes:( ). I will be coming back!

    Best place in NYC to grab some vintage clothes and support a good cause. Really good prices too—scored a formal gown for only $14!

    Was super excited to come here today with a friend of mine- found some boots and went to the fitting room area to be berated at that I need to sit on the couch instead- no clear direction. My friend found a bag that she liked and was yelled “DON’T TOUCH THAT. ITS NOT FOR SALE.” To which we apologized and purchased the boots and left. We called the store later that day to hypothetically see if we can somehow name a price as we really liked the bag, to which we were left on held for 25 min. After 25 min, my friend was yelled at that “YOUVE SHOULDVE SAID SOMETHING, ITS NOW YOUR FAULT YOU DIDNT GET IT.” I called while we were on hold to see if maybe they forgot we were already on hold- before I could speak, I was yelled at even louder, “WERE YOU INTERESTED IN THE BAG? IT SOLD. YOU SHOULDVE SAID SOMETHING”, then hung up. Never coming back.

    This place is great for the community however I am having the worst experience trying to donate my clothes. They stood me up for a donation pick up and none of their phones work anymore. I'm not sure if they even want these clothes anymore or if are even accepting donations.
