1340 W Main St, Alhambra“The staff is super friendly, and you can find good deals. I once bought a collectible there like half the price you can find else where !!It’s literally a gem !I love going there ps they accept Venmo , which has been handy for me since I tend to not care cash .I always take family when they come out of town and tell my friends cause I love this place .”
“Such an awesome and easy experience! I am now more than ever motivated to seriously purge items I'm not using!! Fast, friendly and excellent customer service!”
“This boutique is beautifully curated with lots of cute clothes (sizes varying w an equal variety from S to 3X). Great deal for clothes mostly $15 with a few priced up or down slightly. I LOVEEE that it is sustainable resale fashion & a job opportunity program. The ladies running the shop were helpful and lovely!”

1202 N Alvarado St, Los Angeles“Lemon Frog Shop is an absolutely wonderful vintage store, and I highly recommend checking it out for any of my fellow vintage clothing lovers!! I've found so many incredible items there, and for excellent prices (especially by LA standards haha). The store's layout makes it extremely easy to shop efficiently- everything is organized by price range, item category (tops vs bottoms vs dresses vs accessories, etc), AND size, so it's very straightforward to find what you're looking for without having to dig through everything else! (but it's also still plenty easy to just browse/see what cool pieces you find if you don't have something more specific in mind). While the store itself and all the pieces there are fantastic, the biggest reason I wanted to write this review is the owner- you can tell how much passion has gone into this store just by interacting with her. She's very knowledgeable about her pieces, extremely helpful with any questions you might have or anything you might be looking for, and just super kind/friendly/a lovely person overall! She's truly made every one of my visits to Lemon Frog so far an above and beyond experience each time, and I'm definitely looking forward to going back again soon!!!”
“If you're looking for some very nice thrift this is the place to go!They have a great blend of different decades and everything is nice quality.I found an amazing pair of shoes but they were too large by a size.Their pricing is completely fair.I'm adding to my list of mystery stop at thrift shops!”
“Cool lil spot to do some thrifting! It's a cozy and welcoming location to explore and find cool pieces! I have found some awesome pieces for a great price (such as genuine denim jeans for less than $10!!). I will say though *some* items, not all, can be overpriced considering the wear and tear, overall design, and "age" of the item (I guess vintage will always be upped in price anywhere lol so no biggie), regardless they still have other awesome and affordable selection :-) CANT FORGET ABOUT THE ONE AND ONLY SUNDAY! Sunday is so cute, she definitely lifts the ambiance with her presence! I love how she lets you know when she's had enough petting Awesome place to visit for sure!”
“Walking through the crowded aisles is like walking through that warehouse at the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Whether or not you are looking for something in particular, you will find something here... Actually you will find many "somethings" as this place is a cornucopia of interesting items. Mid-century modern furniture seems to be in abundance, but turn of the century cuckoo clocks, lamps, and pretty much anything else you can imagine are yours to find; Just make sure you have a few hours to actually go through the isles, this is not a place for a cursory review. Staff is great. As for value... what is the value of a treasure?”
“I love love love this place. Women owned business, she is always there giving love to her customers!! She has such an amazing eye for vintage items. I can't leave without getting something. Fell in love with a set of curtains I bought there. I keep coming back!”
“Cool owner, cool staff, awesome merch. Reminds me of shopping on Melrose & Hollywood Blvd. in the 80's. Posters, T-shirts, Clothing, LPs, CDs you name it. Great place to find gifts for friends & for yourself. :)”
“Wonderful Thrift Shop with all kinds of very reasonable finds. Clothing to toys and knick knacks and even some jewelry and more. I believe the ladies are volunteers and they're always helpful and pleasant. You won't go out empty-handed.”
“I purchased my bedroom set from Alameda Thrift &New Furniture and let me tell you it look better in person then it look in the catalog it exceeded my expectations. I have purchased many pieces of furniture for this and I will continue to come due to the excellent service,professionalism,and the price. If you're ever in this area give this little gem a try and I bet you will be really be intrigued with all the catalogs they gavefor you to fine the perfect piece for your home.”
“They always play the coolest music and have a treasure trove of items for the creative types. It’s packed and always fun to dig through the shelves to find something special.”
“I've been going to this spot to thrift for years and I gotta say that even when i don't find what I'm looking for originally, I still end up finding something I wasn't looking for at a good bargain and just as cool. You get to know the owners for a while little by little, their respect and service keeps getting exceptional. If you know how to thrift, you know there are successes and misses, but Son of a Vet is still a fun place to find whatever attracts your interest and amusement.”
“This thrift store is amazing, to put it frank. Their selection and pricing are better than almost any other thrift store I've been to. I've gotten essentially steals like a $14 CD stand worth around $200 (although in somewhat poor condition) and a place to store tapes for only $4. I've gotten mugs, ice cream makers, vinyls, books, vintage TIME magazines, you can find a lot of stuff at prices that might beat stores like Goodwill or The Salvation Army.”

550 W Sierra Madre Blvd, Sierra Madre“LOVE I spent $13 & got a gorgeous silk scarf, a vintage COACH belt, vintage leather Liz Claiborne belt & a silk tie. I am so happy with my loot. The ladies that work there were so kind; telling a new customer to come hang out with them when she remarked that she's been lonely since retirement.. my heart!”
“I like the weekends because they have live music and in addition to going shopping you can dance and enjoy the snacks they sell there and because you have a beer”
“A friend of mine who volunteers her time with the Assistance League of Arcadia at the Bargain Box told me to check it out and so glad I did... 5 stars!!!!! If you are a fan of the Huntington Collection in Pasadena, you'll be sure to love the Bargain Box. Just like the Huntington Collection, I can't call it a thrift shop since it's not like any thrift shops I've been to! Looks more like an expensive antique shop when you step inside. I was blown away by the quality of the available merchandise, especially the housewares and decor. It's very evident that all of the pieces on sale were meticulously cleaned and staged by the hardworking staff. All of the furniture and housewares are excellent condition, not to mention very well priced. Make a point to visit before Halloween! The store is all decked out with Halloween decor! The Bargain Box is managed by the Assistance League of Arcadia, and one of their worthy endeavors is Operation School Bell, which provides much needed clothing as well as school supplies such as backpacks and books to children in need in neighboring local schools. There's a small parking lot but there should be plenty of street parking available if needed. Also, be aware that the store has limited hours since it's managed by volunteers. It's only open two days a week, Wednesdays and Saturdays, from 10am to 1pm.”

12300 Washington Blvd, Whittier“I’ve been wanting to go thrifting and decided to try a new shop, the ladies there are so kind and the prices are unbeatable found some lovely things there!! Will be going back (: peace and love”
“Was there on Friday, 16th June, 2023, at 5:00pm and the store was open. Entered the store of diverse antiques and collectibles. I enjoyed the variety of items available and my friend and I did make some nice fun purchases. The gentleman that helped us mentioned that they hadn't been opened much this year but were going to try to have regular week day later afternoon hours and some on the weekend. There are two phone numbers listed on Google maps. Not sure if the numbers are active or answered. We were at King Richard's Antique Mall, Whittier, CA, that Friday afternoon and this shop is just north about three blocks. Enjoy!”
“Great shop, best in Pasadena! Super cool old furniture, clothing, and super cool jewelry! Staff are super nice and helpful! Worth visiting on a regular basis! :)”
“I really like this place and when they have a sale it's fantastic. You really have to look hard and long for the right thing, but likely you will find it. If not the people there are very helpful. Today there was one young lady that was very helpful in assisting me to find the right frames for my house.”

2425 N San Fernando Rd, Los Angeles“I love all the out of the closet locations so it's hard to pick a favorite but this might be it. (The weho used to be but things change, it's still my second fav) Reasoning: they have items in usually the best condition(Atwater location has the worst, most things are worn but they do get good inventory as well) & it's more lowkey here. Spacious and low lit lighting. Doesn't really get packed unless there's a sale. There's always hidden gems and I find the pricing to be fair - and they don't mark things crazily like the weho & East Hollywood ones do sometimes. Super festive during the holidays! They always decorate the store especially on Halloween and Christmas. Parking is awkward as to get here you'd have to enter through a one way street full of industrial companies with trucks taking a lot of the street parking. It's usually not a problem to find a spot however on street cleaning hours you might have to walk a bit. Overall, excellent condition items with fair pricing and friendly staff. Worth coming to!”
“What a great organization. I went to a meeting which was outstanding. The food, the music and company was delightful. The thrift shop has nice items at inexpensive prices. I plan on volunteering to the group in some way as it is extremely positive. I will become a member. I really like this organization and look forward to knowing more about it.”
“Hidden Treasures Await at Pair My Swap MeetPair My Swap Meet has become my go-to destination for an eclectic array of finds, and it never fails to deliver. From the front section brimming with discounted items, returns, and Amazon finds to the hidden gem of the back section, there's something for everyone here.The back section, particularly, holds a special charm with its second-hand market offerings. It's like embarking on a treasure hunt where you never know what gem you might unearth. From finding a missing spoon to stumbling upon a complete set of china with just one plate missing, the surprises are endless.The variety of items available is impressive - from tools and clothes to dishes and toys, Pair My Swap Meet truly has it all. Personally, one of my recurring favorites is the selection of used towels. Sold by a vendor in the back, these towels, though unsellable for uniform companies, serve us perfectly well at an incredibly low price point. They're durable enough for regular use and disposable enough to not fret over wear and tear.What sets Pair My Swap Meet apart is not just the items for sale but also the experience it offers. It's a chance to get some exercise, stroll around for a couple of hours, and immerse oneself in the thrill of discovering random treasures. Even if you don't end up purchasing anything, the experience alone is worth the visit.Pair My Swap Meet has undoubtedly earned its spot as a weekly destination for me, offering not just goods but also a sense of adventure and excitement with each visit.”
“Super cool and cute store! Welcoming atmosphere & they have such cute things if you like betty boop & vintage this is the spot to go! Tuesdays are the best days for the $2 rack deals as well!!”
