1355 Park St, Alameda“I love going to Rocket Reuse! Obscure and interesting books and DVDs. I usually come out with something cool. Most recently I nabbed an older obscure movie on DVD, an old Fantasy novel adapted to graphic novel, and a classic comic.”
“I recently visited Pretty Penny on a trip to Berkeley and had such a pleasant shopping experience! The owner, Sarah, was very welcoming and kind. It's very obvious she cares about her clients, her community, and the greater good. There was something for everyone and I was very pleased with the purchase I made for myself. Will definitely return!”
“Amber is a wizard. She took my two tone, brassy hair and matched it perfectly to my natural color in two and a half hours. She's so sweet and unpretentious, and the store has more style than pretty much anywhere else in Oakland. Other salons cost twice as much and give you a much worse experience. Amber is a truly awesome hairstylist and I can't recommend her enough.”
“I often pop in here to get second hand clothes or shoes for my kids. Recently it was my son's 4th birthday and we were all home sick. He had been asking everyday for over a month if his birthday was tomorrow and if he could please have a spider stuffie. He was so sad to miss his birthday at school and I had had no time to buy him a present because we had back ti back illnesses for a month. I called Kelly's corner, they had one and asked if I could pay over the phone and have her toss it out the door to me so as not to infect anyone .she was so sweet and offered to drive the gift to my house (we lived nearby)after work. She even wrapped it in a gift bag and added a few trinkets. It made his day and meant so much to me. Thank you!”

4018 Piedmont Ave, Oakland“Thank you Nils for being engaging and providing excellent customer service. I had just left a store in another town and had a terrible customer experience.I’ve been in retail and merchandising my entire career. And to sum it up, great customer service turns into sales and conversion. So simple just to say hi…..”can I help you find something?”Check this place out. Awesome shoe selection and consignment store. Also, while you shop, they will repair your phone screen.Thanks guys!Shop Oakland!”
“Since living around this area, I love going in there to take a look around their nice selection of vintage clothing and accessories. The downside is, I don't think they have updated their open hours.Went in there around 11 and they were still closed. I hope they update their business hours if they have changed! Would love be able to go when I know they will for sure be open”
“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!”
11AM - 6PM
1519 Park St, Alameda“Long time vister first time reviewer.... Every time I go I find something so cute and so perfect! And something that I couldn't imagine finding again so I have to buy it which is good and bad. But I love this place. They always have new things which is crazy for a thrift shop!”
“What a cute store! I’m always on the hunt for a vintage gem and Rachel had such a nice, well-curated collection for women, men, and children! I almost want to keep it my east bay secret. ”
“Love this spot but recommend bringing cash; they charge a card percentage even if you are using debit & it can be a chunk. Purchased during a sale & looked at the receipt. Seemed kinda weird that the salesman didn't mention it when he rang me up, probably because customers have an ongoing issue with this practice.”
11AM - 5PM
3924 MacArthur Blvd, Oakland“Tiny curated vintage shop, super well organized by size- why dos t everyone do this! Owner was terrific and steered me towards a couple of area shops that might have item I was looking for.”
“I have been coming to Radbird for several years. I can always find stylish designer pieces although they tend to be on the pricier side of preowned clothing. Their prices seem to always land somewhere between $200-$400. The fine jewelry collection is gorgeous.The ladies who work there are always kind but the fitting rooms could use some full length mirrors.”
10:30AM - 4:30PM
21 Orinda Way # A, Orinda“I love this spot. The ladies here are always wanting to help and the selection is awesome. Whenever I get off work a little early, I try to make it into this shop to see what is new. I have found some amazing earring as well as other fun household objects. Hilton House find great quality item and has reasonable prices. This place has become my guilty pleasure for searching for treasures I probably don't need, but they are just so neat!”
“I’ve always driven by but never stopped in since it was after hours. I got a chance to pop in today and I found so many treasures! The owner/buyer had a great eye for unusual and precious antiques. I picked up fantastic Christmas ornaments, a stunning smoky topaz ring, and vintage Japanese porcelain aquarium decor. The latter could be used in plant terrariums too. They kindly offered my dog a treat and made me feel welcome.”
“I went in and asked for help finding accessories for a Studio 54 party. The clerk helped me find some incredible sunglasses that matched my dress perfectly. I love this place!”
10AM - 4:30PM
1500 Contra Costa Blvd, Pleasant Hill“Really loved the place! Bought a gold necklace for my brother in law and the associate helping me wasn't pushy and was very very patient. Even when I got side tracked and started trying on other jewelry for me. All these other reviews are obviously old because everyone was very nice and helpful. Will be my new place for jewelry!”
“Excellent selection and customer service. We had a rough time planning for Christmas this year. I ordered a handful of items online and they wrapped everything free of charge and had it ready to go for us. They have a large selection of dress up toys, second hand clothing, and toys that encourage imaginative play.”
“Great second hand woman's clothing store! We went with the whole family and found so many great things for my wife. The kids were cheering on mom as she found so many great items. But in all seriousness, there were lots of really nice designer clothing and accessories for women. Great shop!”
“Great store, amazing finds, supporting an all women business is a win for me! Plus they had what I was looking for for my Christmas shopping list! It’s a circular economy- less waste in our landfill, affordable items for my wallet, repurposed items going to a good home and supporting single moms all while keeping our dollars in Oakland.”
“Great service and quality for restoring lamps. Excellent selection of shades and lamps if you are looking for something to fit your Victorian or older home.I have 3 lamps from them -- 2 they restored for me. They look and work great! Currently have a 4th one in the shop there for restoration. Beautiful!”

522 Center St, Moraga“This store is a gem! Beautiful quality pieces tastefully displayed. The staff is amazing very helpful and kind. This is my new favorite high-end consignment store.”
“I found a winner! This lovely little thrift shop is run by such kind employees. My husband brought I. A huge load for me and they were very grateful and sweet. Wish I'd found this spot sooner.”
“Their Berkeley location has closed permanently. Their Walnut Creek store has apparently 6000 feet of showroom space and I'd love to check it out if I'm ever out that way”
7AM - 3:30PM
3380 Vincent Rd, Pleasant Hill“This place runs mostly on volunteers. The best I can figure is they get food from grocery stores and such that's not fit for display ( I think the term is "reclaimed food") and distribute it to various charitiesThey also distribute clothing and things like that. Check them out.”
“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!”
10AM - 5PM
1428 Park St, Alameda“Naomi and Becky do such an amazing job of keeping this place stocked with the cutest inventory. Their taste and style are just everything I want when it comes to clothing, accessorizing, gifting, and more for my kids. This place is such a local gem- love it so much!”
“Hubby and I drove to Danville for a change of scenery and accidentally found this shop (conveniently right across from Moda Mi (sp?), an adorable European shop). Not only is this consignment shop beautiful complete with an awesome fish tank, it has GREAT prices! There was a red vintage Chanel suit that was waaay too small, a beautiful Bulgari handbag (hint, hint...honey, are you reading this? me likey!), and a fantastic selection of Tiffany jewelry. Not sure why anyone would ever pay full price when you have a shop like this??Met the fashionable owner; I want to dress like her someday!”
“Just bought the most magical dress and designer purse from here. They have such great options for such a tiny space! The girl working was super helpful and when I tried on the dress she gave me great pointers and was so sweet on gassing me up while I was wearing the dress. Obviously I immediately bought it. Such a great steal, the prices were affordable and when I found something with a blemish they were super quick to offer me a lower price for it! Love you mercy.”
“i am SO OBSESSED with so so market! i've been to this location and the one on haight street a couple of times and every time i go, i always leave with something cool. i definitely recommend supporting this business! i already cant wait to go back and shop more!!”
“This is my fave consignment shop!!! I found a beautiful crystal necklace that I will wear on one of my next adventures--oohlala! I also found some boots and a jacket that my friend might like. Divine Consign has lots of very unique items--clothing including jackets and coats, jeweiry, hats, and shoes that you probably won't find any of your friends have. They accept items for consignment, but it is important to ask Joy what they are taking before cleaning out your closet. They are a high-end consignment shop that we are fortunate to have these days. Go in to get presents for your friends or for giving a gift for yourself!!!”
