Overpriced old stuff, you’re better off at a goodwill

This spot certainly has lovely inventory. Most goods I looked at today were priced in the midrange, comparable to an antique store. Still it looked like discounts were regular and the quality and variety was excellent. If you are looking for quality used goods, and don’t mind paying more knowing it benefits charity, this store is an excellent choice. This is not really a spot for resellers looking to flip for a profit, but who knows. As the saying goes - you make your money when you spend your money.

Hard to yelp under Assistance League umbrella. You must look up under Treasure Fair, not Assistance League of Pasadena, somewhat confusing. It's a good store so worth the drive.

I've come here with 5 minutes to spare till closing time and found work-ready suiting (excellent navy blazer, nice fairly new pants) for $2 each on sale. Usually clothing prices are $10-$20. I've bought excellent pants here in women's size 6 to 8 which are in good shape and good brands. It's not a dump style thrift store. It's nicely curated. This is full of "Treasures". Beware that they close during the holidays each winter. They are only open from 11 to 2 mid-day, and only from Wednesday to Saturday. I highly recommend visiting here.

I shop thrift stores mostly for clothes but there's always interesting items catching my eye here! They have really good glasswares and Knick knacks for the house. Their "ritz" section for clothes is not bad, sometimes good things turn up but still mostly "mature" brands in the nature of most locally run smaller thrift shops. In terms of pricing, things are really affordable or really marked up. Hit or miss. Workers are volunteers that's why the hours are shorter but they are generally all nice, I find the vibe to be better than Huntington collection but that place got better as well after moving locations. Overall a solid stop in a thrifting day, but definitely not a one stop shop if you're a treasure Hunter like me.

They have a few pieces that I LOVE but sadly they're pretty overpriced. The shop is clean, very well organized & the volunteers that run the shop are eager to help. I wish they had a sale day or discounted certain tagged items. I purchased a 90s blazer that I love for $16... but that's what I would've paid for it on Poshmark

This thrift shop has incredible finds. Everything from vintage to new. Every week they have new things. The staff there are all volunteers and so helpful. The proceeds go towards programs that assist children, elderly, and assault victims. It feels good to know that every dollar spent here goes towards a great cause. The shop is clean and organized very nicely. Books are a bargain at $1-$2 and they carry designer clothing at great prices.

Great thrift store! Found so many precious gems. They have a wonderful selection of women's clothing. Exquisite selection of home goods, and beautiful selection of Christmas decor.

This is a great thrift store. It has everything you could possibly imagine and at affordable prices. Think Rose Bowl Flea Market, but cheaper and smaller. It is run by Assistance League of Pasadena volunteers, and all of the proceeds go back into the Pasadena community. It's definitely worth visiting. There is street parking and parking spaces in back. If you're looking to donate, they accept gently used, clean clothing, bedding, shoes, jewelry, books , etc. Call them if you're not sure if they will take it.

This is most definitely the best thrift shop in Pasadena. The hours are short from 11am-2pm Wednesday-Saturday so I have to plan around that. The prices are the cheapest of any thrift shop and the assortment of items are plentiful. I have purchased books for a dollar each, sterling silver candles sticks, high end designer clothing, antiques, and more. I almost always find a few things that are special. The best part is that 100% of what you buy goes towards school children and people in need. The staff are always delightful and welcoming. This truly is a special place. You have to see it for yourself!

My daughter and I frequent thrift shops in Pasadena, Arcadia and Covina and really enjoy the "hunt" for great deal on cool stuff. We have been in this shop before, but usually don't stop here due to their limited hours. So...we were excited to drive by on 7/28/22 to find the place open AND a parking spot right outside!! We were excited because we wanted to show my husband this cool little shop as he's usually not with us when we go thrifting. The moment we walked in, a lady behind the register shouted, "WE'RE CLOSED!" I had just checked the hours on the door and knew we were cutting it close, but still had time before the listed closing time. Many people in line turned to look at us as she scowled at us. I said, "Are you actually closed?" The clerk said, "We are shutting down the registers in five minutes!" So, my husband said, "Can we just look around for 5 minutes then?" She said nothing, but continued to glare at us. We turned to walk around the store, but honestly, felt so harassed that we couldn't even focus on the merchandise. I really felt her treatment was hostile considering the store was still open. As we turned to leave, I just felt like I needed to say something and so I did. I told her that it was very rude of her to talk to us the way she did. She said, "We've been trying to lock the door for a while now and we're all volunteers and we want to go home!!" I told her that I understood that they are all volunteers, but the store was still open. And then I left that store for the last time. Seriously!? She was so rude AND the fact is...the store was open!! I will not be returning and will tell everyone I know to never go there either. I understand that the staff is a volunteer staff, but if you hate volunteering so much - maybe you shouldn't do it if it's going to cause you to be so nasty to people. Again...THE STORE WAS STILL OPEN!!

Small but interesting. All-volunteer-- profits go to fund projects for Pasadena schools for which there is no budget. So it's a good cause. There's no cherry-picking. I've found Lilly Pulitzer, Cole Hahn, Stuart Weitzman and Kate Spade here. Nice staff, too.
