    I rarely leave reviews, but I do feel like it is necessary in this case. Buying clothing without the ability to both try and return items is undoable in my opinion. I am happy to change my review given a change in policy, though until then I do think it is necessary to communicate this concern.

    Unlike most thrift stores, they actually arrange things by size which makes shopping there a much more pleasant experience! Small store but always has interesting pieces.

    I love this store! It’s a great local place. I always make a stop when I’m in Cambridge. The nicest staff, best prices, and nice selection. And, your purchases go to a great cause. I’ve found some high quality and unique items here. It’s rare that I’ve left this store empty handed! It’s clear the store team works very hard to keep the store clean and organized. Thank you Boomerangs!

    Really good selection of stuff and really good prices, plus it benefits a good cause! A lot of my favorite items of clothing came from here and it's also a good place to buy gifts

    Fun to look into, and supports a good cause. They also have good turnover so you’re always looking at something new. However, it’s not as highly curated as something like Buffalo Exchange for secondhand clothing. There was a bigger selection at goodwill across the street.

    Another win at Boomerangs 🙌🏾 I only went in to "browse" while waiting for an appointment. And what do you know? Poof... all these fabulous finds 🤩🤩 The store is small, one level, a lil dusty, with friendly staff and they carry clothes, shoes, hats, scarves, purses/bags, gloves, home furniture and other items!! I love that there's also a Loyalty program, so whatever I've earned from previous shopping trips, I can apply it to my purchase total 🤸🏾‍♀️

    A cute thrift store with a great mission but not tons of finds given how small the shop’s inventory is. They sort by size, which is great. No changing rooms, although they have signage that mentions something about their return policy. Street parking only.
