Expect the attitude if you don’t look like a Lake Forest shopper, expect to see nothing interesting except Lake Forest circa 1990 Coach purses, Columbia, horrid wedding gifts. With the rich you can get great one of a kind items or their basement trash thinking thrift store shoppers will love wool wraps w/ the big logo Coach C purses and 20 year ago boots. 2.50 for worn out tiny stuffed animals and guess what Annalee dolls are very valuable. If they knew I was an educated, could have bought what I wanted I might have received a goodbye, toys are downstairs as I pass by a few bars of Ann Taylor $15 sweaters to end up in the unfinished basement of a bad estate sale. All these upscale wanna be NY BOUTIQUES THAT GET FOUR STARS THEY ALL SUCK AND YOU GO FOR THE FAUX IMAGE. HAPPY HOUR SHOULD BE 10 am for these ladies. Stop giving these upscale shops five stars. You know that Salvation Army has the same things, cheaper, but not the
boutique look. Who cares. IM A FIT MAJOR AND BUSINESS MAJOR. I LIVED IN REAL BOUTIQUES.

We donated to them, but had a chance to see the retail operation. Higher end gently used clothing and household goods, and priced accordingly. We gave them 6 prom dresses and matching shoes, among other things. Similar, nice quality dresses were priced around $40. Definitely worth a look!

Used to love coming here, but the PRICES ??? Why is it priced higher then a store. Items are beaten I'd find better at goodwill. Aren't these items donations anyways?? Make it make sense.

Great place to explore wonderful treasures of all kinds. Friendly and helpful staff at the kind of shop it's an adventure to shop because you'll never know what you'll find.

This truly is a hidden gem in the city. The staff is A+ and the cause couldn't be better. I love going every weekend and finding great pieces.

It's eclectic atmosphere has something for everyone. With the expansion of the store, one can easily spend hours browsing, buying and trying on items.

Rarely greeted when I come in, and hardly ever thanked when I have donated nice things. It might be good for the store to give some training on greeting all guests with a smile, and actually thanking them for their donations (I started taking my donations to other places because of this). Not sure who runs it and whether they are one of the ones who doesn’t say hello, or “thank you” after bringing in donations. Just a very unfriendly vibe that it’s awkward to shop in that small store with the “ice cold” feeling in the air. There was one nice and friendly (welcoming) lady who worked there but haven’t seen her on the times I’ve stopped by in a while. Regardless of whether it’s a volunteer job or not, lack of common courtesy by most of the staff that’s been there when I’ve stopped by is just kind of disappointing. ?

Cute store, but I was surprised at the high prices on most items in the store (especially things that were dirty or looked broken). The sales person was nice but I'm unlikely to return and was overall disappointed. They had lots of clothes and jewelry.

I REALLY loved this place, but $75 for a vintage heavily pilled Patagonia fleece pullover?! $25 for a coffee stained scarf?! Granted I know a portion of proceeds go to local charities but these prices are absolutely outrageous to be labeled as "thrift" and more so inline with high end resale shops. Also, minus one star as it seems you have to be a friend of who is working to get greeted or to be chatted to at the shop, this has been a long term thing since starting to come here in 2017.
