“the staff was totally fine, maybe they changed? But the problem of prices seems to have occurred across all of the stores. $25 for worn out shoes. I thought this store felt less abandoned and more neat than the one in West Berkeley. It’s likely just chance. For the most part though, you might as treat yourself to Daiso for quality new Japanese goods at a cheaper price.”

“I'm not one to leave reviews, but this place should get noticed! Found an awesome deal on a used mannequin here. The owner, Judi, has a fun personality and is really knowledgeable and helpful in finding what you're looking for. A good selection of mannequins to choose from. These were actual real store mannequins and you can't beat the price. Don't buy one from Amazon. Well worth a trip to her Oakland warehouse to pick one out. I would definitely go back. Thank You!”

“I would highly recommend coming here! The owner Michael is nice and the store is really clean. All of the clothing was sorted by color and it was very well organized. We liked looking through all the racks, all of the clothes were great quality and there was something there for everyone. The prices were also extremely fair. I will definitely come back the next time I am in Berkeley!”

“Many hidden gems here. Get there early, so much to see and all proceeds support the Oakland museum of California. You do need to really take your time though. So plan for a half a day at least. No junk, great finds.”

“This was my second trip to this very fun & cool store..The first time I went in I was V impressed by their abundance of hella cool merch at a very affordable price point., not to mention customer service was exceptional as well. Today I walked in and was greeted by a dude (playing awesome music I might add) who not

only complimented my hair but told me I was beautiful while I was paying for my purchase.. *sigh*With so many nasty and negative peeps working sales and customer service in general these days, this was VERY unexpected and refreshing especially coming from a cute & sweet 20-something .LOL. It literally made my day! LOVE this little gem of a shop and can't wait to come back ! ?????”

“If you are over 50, or a "real senior", the Mastick Senior Center is a great place for a variety of activities. I, personally, love Line Dancing, Zumba and Yoga. Come and make friends while staying healthy.”

“I love this store- very sweet staff and good stuff but here's the thing ...I've now come here twice when they are supposed to be open according to their posted hours and they're not open. So I have come all the way across town to pick up a wish order and look around and they're not open. :(”

“Love this antique shop! Has so many awesome things and I wish I had more money. The man in there was so nice, I forgot his name but his mom started the business. And my son asked for his help on the furbies and he did, he helped him open each one and see if they worked. I definitely would love to come back and spend hours going through all their nooks and crannies. I'm sure there's more wonderful treasure hidden away. I probably over spent but it was worth it! I can't wait to go back!”

“This store is a real asset to El Cerrito. Always nicely arranged and tidy. I noticed that they have an overabundance of outdated clothes that are very colorful. Seems people prefer black, grey and beige these days, so I hope they have an ecological way to dispose of them.”

“Excellent place for getting souvenirs, there are couple stores in the area... I would recommend go visit all of them and see first the options, there are places with the same things and some others with better options and better prices. Overall here is a good option more taking in court it's not closed early”

“I've found some really cool stuff here, including professional blazers, a one-of-a-kind dress, and an REI jacket. No fitting rooms, but that's unfortunately pretty standard for thrift stores these days.”

“Been here 2 times now and it was pretty tidy, better than a lot of retail stores nowadays only issue is some things were packed so tight it was hard to flip through items. The cashier who was working this past Friday and Monday with the cute braids and absolutely sparkling personality needs a raise, she absolutely lights up the checkout counter if not the whole store with her energy! I hope she stays blessed too!”

“Although, the program didn’t work out for me due to my need for dual diagnosis, I still think it’s a great program. The staff are caring and patient. There are a lot of rules with strict consequences but it’ll help provide the structure and discipline you need. The work program can be a bit overwhelming but it’ll take time to get used to. You wake up at 5am weekdays and 6am on weekends. There is 8 hour shifts/5days a week in which you receive a small gratuity. The food is wonderful and the home is beautiful, well kept and clean. You are required to sign over your EBT benefits to them but they provide plenty of good food and you’ll easily gain healthy weight in no time. Shoutout to Courtney for being so patient and kind and Sabrina as well. The Filipino woman that answers the phone is extremely judgmental and rude. She questioned whether I was “real woman” because my chest is very small. Horrible feeling and it definitely didn’t give me a great start to things at all. They provide transportation to and from work and well as lunches you pack yourself at the house. You’re not allowed to smoke at work but get plenty of free time to smoke at the house. The showers/bathrooms are awesome. Bed are comfy and blankets nice and warm. It’s two people to a room but it’s spacious with plenty of storage. Curfew is 9 and lights out at 10pm. You get coffee in the morning and at work. There are plenty of books and movies to pass the time. Most clients or “beneficiaries” are court ordered. My only hang up is that it isn’t dual diagnosis so there is no mental health services at all and that religion is forced on you from the beginning. You must dress, act, sit and follow all of the captains commands to a T or there will be consequences. If you don’t mind the religious aspect then overall it’s a wonderful program. They have aftercare resources once you graduate as well. Thank you for my time there! I was difficult without the mental health resources but still think very highly of them. They made sure I was taken care of and even provided a jacket when I left. You’ll get plenty of good clothes while you are there that you return if you don’t graduate. Tons of snacks! Only other thing is that they could possible cut down the shifts to 5 hours in order to allow for meetings and classes from more trained professionals without taking away from the limited free time after work. You will be closely monitored but lead well by your peer mentor for the first 30 days. Captain is a bit intense kind of with expectations but is still kind and caring”

“This is a very cool place for the community. There is a plethora of random freebies outside, and inside is a curated shop of hidden vintage treasures and beautiful plants for sale. I love the concept of both inside and out! Outside you have to dig and that is so fun, and I especially like finding bits and bobs for my many art projects. Inside I have found beautiful plants and some really nice decor at a reasonable price. I always enjoy chatting with the owner and she will give you good tips on how to care for your plant.”

“although smaller than the one in West Berkeley, it more densely packed; plus, the staff was very kind and patient as I tried headphones ‘n asked to see to the sizes of several shoes behind the counter. However, I reserve the last star for Out of Closet.”

“We were driving by and decided to stop by here. There's a small parking but there is a lot of street parking. This store is really clean and was fully stocked. There were a lot of new items. I noticed the store was well organized so it's easy to find things. The book section was really good highly recommend. The people who worked here were really nice. Overall had a great experience.”

“Donating my clothes is easy, and I always find something to take home with me. Compared to your more typical chain thrift store, I appreciate how well layed-out the store is. Items are organized by size and color, racks aren't overpacked, and backround music is quiet. It makes for a much more pleasant experience. I also enjoy that they always have tag sales on their items that have been around a bit longer, as it ensures you can always find a good deal!”

“This is a great place for slightly used clothing and home goods. Lots of choices nicely displayed. They also made it very easy to donate with parking lot in the back for easy drop off.”
