“Sweet workers, the prices r really good and they have a changing room to try on clothes. Plus the stuff they have are usually pretty good, always left with more than I intended to buy ??”
“(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.”
“It's like getting into a treasure room. Jocelyn's (the owner) goal is and always was to have a free store, but she needs to pay the store's rent so she does plant sales. I don't know anybody more knowledgeable about plants than her, I got mine from her ages ago and they're thriving. Free UP is open only on Sundays now from 12pm to 3pm. Definitely one of my favorite places.”
“Love this place! This is my Sunday stop after church. Michelle is such a sweet and kind lady. And let me mention the books, from educational to novels of romance. If you want to rewind back to 1999 this is the place to go!!'”
“I love this store. They have some really nice, high quality items. They are constantly adding things and I have been a loyal customer for several years, and will continue to be. A note on pricing, some reviewers have commented that they are overpriced, but I strongly disagree. Everyone seems to be enthralled with the idea that they will find something for (next to) nothing. Doesn't work that way. You get what you pay for. Quality merchandise for way less than retail is the rule here. I have no problem paying a little bit more for quality both in merchandise, and customer service. Check them out.”
“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!”
10:30AM - 4PM
1031 Cotton St, Oakland“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!”
“Great prices and good selection for how big the store is. Great customer service and amazing pricing. Such a great store for the community. As of right now they're open Monday through Friday and accept donations all days except Tuesday.”
9AM - 7PM
601 Webster St, Oakland“We were in the area and decided to stop by. It's not in the best of neighborhoods so I judged and thought it would not be good. First I walked in and everything is sorted by color to be honest I loved that. It was easy to find what you wanted. The closest were name brand and a lot of cute finds. There was also a lot of stuff with new tags. The prices were super reasonable. Definitely a hidden gem.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Hours on Google are usually up to date. Unbeatable prices for used children's clothing, socks, shoes, etc. They carry infant, toddler, and children's sizes. Located inside Harbor House. People who work here are so nice and friendly. I always find a handful of items to bring home for less than the price of one at a more "upscale" thrift store (and what's the point of thrifting if you're paying "new" prices for things?).”
“This is the best place to donate. It's a good cause and the volunteers keep the shop clean and maintain a good vibe. They are starting to price a bit high. Some things are higher priced than new in the store. Other than price they get a 5”
“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!”
“DBFL is a wonderful place to shop for quality pre-owned goods. They carry women's, men's and children's apparel, accessories, home goods, toys, books, and a variety of other miscellaneous treasures. I always find the staff friendly and helpful. It's a very fun place to shop, and best of all, the proceeds support the schools!”
“Great store, great costumer service, great vibes (and pretty good clothes) - Good value and quality for the price here, and one of my top picks to visit with some friends”
“It is a wonderful store. The owner and employees are always smiling and very friendly. The prices are worth going there and good discounts. It is worth appreciating and going there every day of the week.”
“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.”
“I work in HIV and I am pleased about this agency/retailer meeting and giving back to the community in a practical tangible way. The color-coordination and organization is extremely pleasing to the eye, making it much more easy to shop. Items are great quality, it’s clean, and spacious. My kids like thrifting so this is a great choice.”
“Donation drop-off - Carried my donations inside as the one employee was helping an elderly man. She welcomed me with a smile, kindly told me where to place the items, and where to get the donation receipt.”
“Hey, I recommend this store... I love that all the clothes are separated by color... there are always discounts... a variety of items... and the best thing, the customer service is quality... .open every day!!”
“Just went here for the first time. Organized, packed with people (popular!), somewhat pricey for thrift, and definitely the kind of place where you will find something. Clothing felt like about 80-90% of the inventory, but outside of that you can grab your typical coffee maker, toaster oven, etc.”
“This was a great shop for thrifting! The clothing selection is small, but it’s all well gone through because the clothing is quality for a really great price. Shirts were $3 and jackets were $5. There are also furniture pieces, pretty large and brand new! The cashier was really kind too!”
“No return call; couldn't speak with anyone Despite that they've always been an incredible organization. I'll definitely deliver my precious goods to them myself, sometime in the near future”
“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!”
“Great selection of new & vintage clothes for reasonable pricesStaff are so friendly & let you try on stuff over your clothes ??definitely will be back ?️”
“Always love coming into this store. There's new items out every day, so I'm always going back to see what's new. Full of cute clothes for all styles and aesthetics. The environment is so friendly and welcoming too!!”
