“My first time shopping at this store & overall had a good experience. It was well organized & the clothes were organized by size & colors which I liked. It was easy to find what I needed. It felt more like a regular name brand retail store rather than a thrift store feel. I gave it a 4star only because of my retail management background, I noticed the glass tops of the clothing racks were very dusty (I almost asked for windex & paper towels lol). I will definitely be back!”
““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.”

3001 Wisconsin Ave NW, Washington“St. Alban's Opportunity Shop is a true gem in the community. With its recent reopening, it continues its legacy of providing quality goods at affordable prices since 1955. The shop's commitment to supporting those in need is commendable, and I am proud to contribute to their cause. The weekly shopping hours are convenient, and the friendly staff always makes my visit enjoyable. Whether I'm looking for clothing, household items, or unique treasures, the Op Shop never disappoints. It's heartwarming to know that my purchases go towards helping the community. I highly recommend paying a visit to this wonderful thrift store.”
“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$”
“I’ve always found lovely items at this charming thrift shop. The volunteers who run the shop are wonderful, I always stop by when I’m in the area and recommend it to friends!”
“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.”
“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.”
“[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.”
“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.”
“Best priced thrift in the area.They accept and have lots of furniture.Large formal & wedding dress section. Solid mens & women’s sections.Labels are hand written and it’s more of a locally run mom& pop style thrift.Spanish friendly.”
“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.”
“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.”

10141 New Hampshire Ave, Silver Spring“I'm very passionate about thrift stores and so when I stumbled upon unique I was very excited. I went a little overboard ha ha. My friend just had her second kid so I spent a lot of time back in the kids section... They have a very large selection of gently used kids clothing at super reasonable prices so I was able to spoil my friend's kids without breaking the bank. The good thing about toddlers is that they grow out of clothes so quickly that most of the clothes we got looked almost brand new. For myself I found that they have a nice selection of plus size clothing for women and I left with a number of new items. They give you a discount on different days of the week and if you bring in items to donate, so I always come in with things to give away which is a good excuse to clear out my closet before I add a bunch of new stuff to it”
“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.”
“Impressive selection of clothes, toys, and housewares. Easy to donate items and you get a coupon when you do so. Took off a star because there are no dressing rooms. Will definitely return!”

12006 Plum Orchard Dr, Silver Spring“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.”

3716 Howard Ave, Kensington“Adorable cozy little cottage nestled up in-between a row of antique stores. This shop is a great go-to for vintage tea sets, saucers, glassware, textiles, pottery, and even artwork. They also have a room dedicated to books and another to fashion items. All purchases go towards charity! Kensington has a street dedicated to antique retailers, consignors and upcyclists which goes by "Kensington Antique Row." More information can be viewed at: kensingtonantiquerow.com.”
“I love this thrift store, first I have an Xbox 360 so I don’t have that much games for it so I asked my dad if I could go here and he said yes and I found so much 360 games but they were all 5.00 sadly but I picked up 4 games and 2 ds games ?”
“Got my booster! Just checking schedule and just GO! Fill out forms when you get there, take COVID Vaccinations card and ID. We'll organized. Kudos to the ARC, located in the PGCounty office areas on McCormick in Latgo.”

2200 South Dakota Ave NE, Washington“Can’t speak to the shopping experience, but the folks working the donations are all so helpful and kind. They offer to help take your bags out of your car for you so it’s a quick and easy process. Was there Sunday 10/29. Thanks all!”

3304 Kenilworth Ave, Hyattsville“Very good prices, excellent service. I work with a lady who speaks Spanish and is very kind and polite. I will always buy at this family store because she always has positive energy and is very very kind.”
“I called the number on Vietnam Veterans website and scheduled for my pickup. Pickup Please sent confirmation and reminder emails. Of course you get a nearly all day time slot, so the day they were supposed to come, someone rang my doorbell late morning. I was pleasantly surprised that the Pickup Please truck driver had all my stuff already loaded with one minor question for me. So efficient! Thanks!”
“Items are getting pricier and I found a pair of shoes listed for more than the original price that was still attached. I saw other items with the marshalls tag attached but the price ripped off... makes me wonder if it's purposely listed for more.”
“If you want to find something unique and at a lower price, that's the place you want to go. They colored items every week. After one week, the prices will be 50% off automatically. After 3 weeks, the prices will be 75% off. So, if you want lower priced things, remember the color code and come back next week. Good luck if no one buys it.”
“Hard to find a thrift store like this one nowadays! Very much the "old" style of thrift - no price tags, just show the owner what you want and he will name a price that you can haggle down. Everything I've gotten has been very reasonably priced. Knickknacks stacked to the ceiling, and there's always something new or interesting. Taking one star off because it is very cramped inside, so not really accessible to someone using a mobility aid, but otherwise my favorite thrift store in the area.”
