“Visited for the first time today and was excited to find several really great adult Halloween costumes for just $15 each. The volunteer staff was kind and helpful, and they seemed happy to be there. I spent about half an hour looking through all the interesting wares, which were good quality and priced much lower than 8 expected. Great Job, Opportunity Shop.”
“I bought this barrister book case on Saturday and I set to pick it up with other furniture on Monday. I don’t know how it happened. No sign was out on it? It fell off? Someone removed it? They sold it on Sunday. I was very verbal and I’m embarrassed about that but long story short they more than made up for it. Yes I am extremely sad because I had been looking for one for a while now but life goes on. The staff are kind and Ninfa is the epitome of hardworking and helpful and kind. She’s truly a gem at this store. The owner is unbelievably kind and said they donate to 3 charities. You just want to help this store to thrive. That said, please don’t haggle. These items are more than fair in price and it’s going for a good cause. Support your local businesses.”
““The quality is Exceptional”. I was going to get some food near by and I discovered this store. The price is good and the quality of the clothe is exceptional. Fia has a fashion spirit. Thank you so much!”
“So many wonderful finds, I bought 3 prs of shoes, a vest & 2 pairs of pants... all in near new condition. The employees are curdious, helpful, & cheerful. The store is packed with great finds, huge (a double store) but not cluttered. It's well organized even with customers that don't respect how hard it is to keep a place like this neat... you know, folks that change their minds & put things anywhere without thought... Please guys, just leave it at the register on the way out, believe me, the employees appreciate it. You know...example: @Aldi, why do idiots throw eggs & lettuce in the freezer? Why? Change your mind? Just leave it at checkout! Everytime I change my mind, I ask an employees to return it back to where it belongs AND They thank me, with a surprised gaze when I hand them the merchandise, then a greatful smile.
But honestly, love this place... like a treasure hunt...alway walk out with 5-6 gems w/ a total under $50.”
“The volunteers are so sweet and helpful. There are so many treasures to be found. Everything I purchased was lovely. I was so impressed I decided to become a volunteer in the store.”

“Just stay away from the army jacket guy. Seriously. And be sure not to set your bag or anything down while you try something on or else he will take it, rummage through it and then interrogate and threaten you. Very bizarre. The other workers are very nice though.”
“This store is very nicely organized and I enjoy the selection. It would be 5 stars if not for the incredibly disappointing customer service. We were there 10 minutes before closing, with items in hand at the toy section, when they turned out the lights and then had an elderly lady come tell us to leave. She was standing right next to us and was very rude. I would have spent more money for sure. I’ve been in many times and I’ve never been treated so unkindly. It left a bad taste in my mouth.”
“I LOVE you ladies, your store and even your website! I can't wait to go back!! You have done and are doing such a wonderful job! Your love and compassion shines through in the careful thought that you put into each wonderful display, making the awesome variety of unique keepsakes as well as everyday use items even more enticing, the compassionate way that you always keep your customers in mind while pricing even the higher quality items (such as a fur coat) and in the Huge love in your hearts shared through your donations to charities!! ... and I absolutely love how you all interact with each other and the customers. You are so pleasant, accommodating and seem genuinely happy to be there! Makes all the difference! Thank you!!! Happy New Year!!”
“super cute small thrift store! had a good selection of business casual/formal clothes. had an amazing selection of shoes and bags!! a little more expensive than i expected, sweaters are like 12-13$”
“Love this neighborhood gem ! Easy process to donate / sell gently used clothes and either redeem for cash back or store credit . Every time I’m gone to donate clothes I end up purchasing new brand name goodies ! Great way to refresh your wardrobe :)”
“HUGE variety, clean, & organized. Profits help local families in need. Furniture, art, glassware, clothing, jewelry. Changing rooms. Prices higher than goodwill but reasonable. And they have a discounted color every week 50-75% off! Good lighting, wheelchair accessible BUT one step to enter. Plenty of free parking.”
“There’s a decent selection and the prices are pretty good. Most things are around $10, few are above $20. The customer service was phenomenal. I had $13.00 of $14.80 and the cashier waved the difference. He was super friendly about it, too. The person I was with was also short a few dollars and he waved the difference, again.”
“Big sale right now. Open on some saturdays too. The staff are very friendly and stop to help you find what you are looking for. The building is very large but all items are VERY WELL organized on racks and shelves.”
“[Part of Giving Tuesday 2019] I can only write from the perspective of a volunteer/donor, but Martha's Table seems to have a strong mission towards helping children and families in the DC area. Our class wanted to organize a clothing/food drive, and Martha's Table seemed to have the most bang for your buck. You can always donate in liquid like every other organization, but not as feasible for someone on the student lifestyle. There's plenty of drop-off locations for clothing and baby items across the city. If you can give food items like canned and dried goods, you gotta go to their Maycroft location on Columbia Rd NW. Easy to just reserve a 15-minute appointment on their website and drop off our load. I see their trucks all around the city serving the community - here's to hoping everyone's littles go a long way.”
“Good selection of books. They're a little more expensive than I'm used to in other parts of the country.Cover Price up to $6.94 = $2.49 ea.Cover Price $6.95 to $9.94 = $2.99 ea.Cover Price $9.95 and up = $3.49 ea.That's the pricing scheme unless otherwise listed. Many prices are listed on the sticker.However, buy 4 books and get the 5th one free is a good deal.”
“As a donor, the process couldn't be easier: no inspection, just drop your stuff into the bins by the entrance. As a shopper, I have found luck with some of their kids' clothes and books, as well as some beautiful vintage glassware. Personally their adult clothing and shoes haven't caught my eye, which they dedicate 75% of the store to. I'd prefer a more curated adult clothing selection as I find the quantity overwhelming with too many items that I think no one is likely to buy.”
“Their hours a limited, like all NMCRS thrift stores (Tue., Thu. 1100-1300; 1st Sat. of the Month 1000-1400) but it's the only one in the DC area. They have a whole room dedicated to Navy and Marine Corps uniform items. If you need extra khakis or whites, check this place out first before going to the uniform store. Occasionally they'll have bridge coats or pea coats or even mess dress (typically only men's though). I've been told there are other thrift stores with a better selection of women's uniforms but this is the closest one to me and it's better than nothing! They also have a variety of rank devices, ribbons, metals, belts, and all those other small uniform extras that you'll inevitably loose and need to replace. Also a great place to donate rank items when you promote (including the ones that you might have to sew on!) In addition to uniforms, they also have a decent selection of clothing. They have small collections of toys, books, and housewares, and try to set up a seasonal display. Items will be discounted towards the end of the season and prices are generally fair for a thrift store. They just recently started accepting credit cards and were previously cash or check only which is a huge and much appreciated change. You need a military ID to purchase uniform items and base access to get to the thrift store, but it's a great bonus for the local military community.”

“The whole store is clean and very nicely color organized. I wasn't able to quite figure out if the clothes were organized by size in any way, but it wasn't too much of a problem as I could just check the size on the tag. Additionally there were changing rooms readily available that were clean, private, and had places to hang items, a mirror, and a chair.
There also seemed to be a good selection of items (clothes, furniture, dishes, shoes, and other things) at reasonable prices. I saw alot of clothing items priced around $6 or $7, but it varied from between $2 and $20 depending on the item.”
“I just started going to this store. One of my favorites, huge, friendly staff. CleanI don't see where they auction everything off too the highest bidder. Price normalfor thrift stores these days.”
“Love this place, lovely family owned store. They're always so helpful. They pretty much have everything you need especially in an emergency. Best part is we get to keep money in our community over national brands. If you live near by and want them to have something that you know you'll continue to buy they are willing to get it to have it on hand for you (of course be reasonable).Just be careful walking in here as there is A LOT so make sure you are careful where you're walking.”
“I have only had positive experiences here. The volunteers who've helped me have been lovely, interesting women. The inventory is pretty incredible, mostly jewelry and home wears. Many things will be listed well under market. To me, it's been a treasure and hope others have good experiences, too.”
“Long time downtown Silver Spring thrift store is open Saturday 9 to 1 and Sunday 12 to 2. Small, curated collection includes jewelry, bags, hats, games, selection of women's clothing, housewares, and framed art. Friendly volunteers and very reasonable prices.Located at Grace House basement at the far end of the (free) Grace Episcopal Church parking lot. Accessible via metro buses Y and Q lines.”
“BLUF: I recommend.
All thrift stores have raised their prices regardless of location and store name/brand/chain.
Despite the national price of everything going up, there were a largenumber of items at wonderful prices. The opportunity to save more is available if you download the app and use their coupons. The store also has a special day to save an extra discount on items.
The parking lot is large on the side and back of the store. The front parking lot is smaller.
Items in the store are 90% displayed clutter free.
I did not interact with any store employee, except the check out person. She was nice and packed my things with care into the large reusable bag.
If you go here I HIGHLY recommend you bring your own shopping bags and paper to wrap delicate items. I would also encourage you to come early. I came on a Friday afternoon and it was busier than I expected.
As a female shopping alone I felt safe in the area.
Bottomline: I recommend this thrift store.”
“My girlfriend and I recently moved in together! During this process we had quite of bit of duplicates from kitchen appliances to large living room and bed room furniture. We used this location for a large pick up. It went extremely smooth. The two men, Lenard and Carlos, who came to pick up the load were great! They were on time for our allotted pick up time, they help keep the condition of everything as is, and overall were friendly and understanding people.
This was a great experience for us, we were at first skeptical from other reviews. Now we know this is the way to go.”
“They have an entire floor downstairs dedicated to upscale furniture and housewares. Designer clothing upstairs and reasonable price. Just don't expect thrift store prices.”
“The offerings at this thrift shop are always of good quality - they often include designer clothing or classic household items. A variety of decorative items also appear, especially for holidays. The staff is always willing to help.”
