“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 I noticed that they have an overabundance of outdated clothes that are very colorful.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.”

“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Always some fun new rotating items! Makes me feel like I’m at the able sisters shop from animal crossing with their displays changing. The staff/volunteers are friendly and make good conversation. Decently priced home goods too!”
“Dress Best For Less is my favorite place to thrift in the East Bay. Great prices and a really varied selection of designer along with great everyday pieces . A plus is that it is a non Profit benefiting kids in the community. Thank you Dress Best For Less”

“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!”
“Great place to shop. Whenever I'm looking for something special, I go to the discovery store in Oakland. I am always pleased and amazed at the selection! Check it out!”
“(Translated by Google) Very nice place with a good base to help children and adolescents.(Original)Muy bonito lugar a parte buena basa para ayudar a los niños y adolescentes.”
“I come here often with my teens and this is the best Goodwill in our area! The store is heavily stocked with a variety of items and the staff are always very welcoming and friendly. We love coming here.”
“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.”
“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.”
“This is my favorite goodwill in SF. Not only do I always find a treasure the people are amazing humans. Unknowingly I dropped a family heirloom ring while shopping. Terrified when I realized and got home I called , and the women here say it and were holding it for me. Super grateful for their honesty and help.”
“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.”
“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!”
“I always find gems here! This time, it was a like-new Princess Polly crop top and some fun costume items. Diana is so sweet - she let me take the items out of the package to make sure the sensor hadn't made any holes and even offered to check the back for un-sensored items. I'm looking forward to selling here - hopefully will have a great experience with that, too!”
“cute items for home clothes and accessories. priced well! i may come shop and donate
here! proceeds go to
women in shelters. great mission and vision and style!”
“I have been to this Goodwill countless times over the last 6 weeks to drop off items. The very first time I was greeted by Delvon who was helpful, friendly and working hard. I had the pleasure of seeing Delvon often who was continually welcoming. Over the course of my drop offs I was also assisted by Rashon and one of the managers, Dot. There were many other workers who were equally as efficient and welcoming. I highly recommend this goodwill store to anyone needing to drop off items. They are organized, helpful and a pleasure to see! Thank you to a great team!”
“Be warned before coming here: This place is super small, I wouldn't call it a thrift store but more like a guy who sells used stuff. Don't get me wrong he's quite nice but if you're expecting clothes and vintage stuff don't come. It's mostly used applicances and used electronics. Still worth a visit if you're in the area”
“My favorite East Bay Goodwill store. They seem to get good stuff more frequently than other stores.
Update: All the Goodwill stores have changed as the market has changed. It's getting harder and harder to find good non-clothing stuff.”
“I wasn’t sure where to send this, so I’m submitting it here. I’ve been a regular shopper at your stores for over a decade—first at the Polk Street location, and now more frequently at the Folsom Street location since moving nearby. I know some of the staff by name and they know mine, including Marcy, and have appreciated the consistency and convenience—until recently.
There are two employees at the Folsom location whose behavior has created an increasingly uncomfortable shopping experience: Lorena and a woman I believe is named Tanisha.
Lorena repeatedly approaches me while I’m shopping, asking if I’m okay or if everything is going fine—usually multiple times in one visit. I don’t see her doing this with other customers, and it feels like she’s profiling me. Whether she assumes I’m unhoused or a shoplifter, I don’t know—but it’s uncomfortable, intrusive, and, at this point, feels like harassment. Everytime she asks my response clearly displays irritation I even told her it was annoying, and yet it continues. Sometimes I don’t even go in if I see her working.
That said, my bigger concern is with Tanisha. She has consistently displayed unprofessional behavior—loudly complaining on the floor, using inappropriate language, chatting with the female security guard about personal topics, and creating a chaotic atmosphere. But what happened today was especially upsetting.
An elderly man came in with a concern about his points not transferring. I don’t know the full details, but Tanisha’s response was flat-out disrespectful. She cut him off, refused to listen, and dismissed his concern by saying the manager would tell him the same thing anyway. She was short, condescending, and repeatedly announced—in front of other customers—that she was “done dealing with him” and that her coworkers would have to handle him from now on.
It was humiliating to watch. Everyone in the store was looking over, clearly uncomfortable. The whole atmosphere shifted—it put everyone on edge. Whatever the situation, that man was elderly, and he deserved basic respect.
What made it worse was how she turned on Lorena afterward, who, to her credit, had stepped in and calmly helped the man. Tanisha seemed angry that the issue got resolved and kept loudly insisting she wouldn’t “deal with this anymore.” I commend Lorena for her help—despite my issue with her—because she at least de-escalated the moment.
Even after the customer left, Tanisha continued sarcastically telling people, “I guess we just hand points out now,” mocking the situation loudly in front of everyone. It was petty and unprofessional.
Tanisha has been rude to me before, and I’ve seen her be inappropriate with others—including mocking a transgender friend of mine. This isn’t just a bad day or poor judgment. It’s a pattern. Her behavior brings down the entire environment. Frankly, she should not be working in customer service.
I’m only sharing this because I’ve been loyal to your stores for years and believe in the experience you aim to provide. But this situation needs to be addressed—before more customers are pushed away.
Oh ya also, your prices are getting to a point of ridiculous. This is supposed to be a thrift store for a good cause but I feel like you would make more if you lowered your prices as I frequently see the same things everytime
I go in. There was a pair of sandals that had the tags on them for 12.00 your price 14.00 when bringing it to associates attention. She said she didn’t price things and asked if I still wanted it. Obviously I declined. Makes no sense.”
“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.”
