“They just finished an 8 week remodel and they have opened to large crowds. I never leave this Goodwill without multiple amazing deals. I highly recommend this location.”
“Fairly good stuff but I've purchased things that have said to work and ended up not working. All in all I would say it's good just text electronics before you purchase them!”
“Olivia helped me find the perfect ski jacket when it arrived in the store. I tried on a couple at the time of shopping and she was able to help me decide which one was best.”
“Amazing place with a ton of heart, especially the staff. The Thrift Shop of Boston supports The Home for Little Wanderers, which provides a range of services for children in dire living/economic situations. Great cause and business to support :)”
“Am a member of their Foundation. Do superb work for those in need from Food Pantry for Hull residents to other South Shore services such as legal aid, counciling for elder, housing assistance, transportation, education, and two thrift shops. Send them $$ ... they will thank you.”
“I'm a big thrifter and I try to visit thrift stores and consignment shops when I'm traveling. I stopped by while visiting Boston. I appreciated seeing this sign as I entered.
It's cash only, which isn't always convenient when traveling. I didn't really find much, but I may look again when in the area.”
“Now this is what I call a thrift store! It has vintage items and you have to look for some great finds! The prices are affordable and the quantity/quality of clothes is abundant. They have trinkets as well along with a free table of stuff. The staff is also sweet and helpful. Get lost in the options!!!”

402 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge“The salvation army in Central square in Cambridge on Massachusetts avenue health helped a lot of people throughout the long years that they have been there in that location. I have never stayed there overnight but I have occasionally had need of a shower which they were able to accommodate and a meal from time and time and a couple times during my laundry when I didn't have any money to do them,, don't let your pride get in the way of getting some help from a place like salvation army!! You need to call at 6:00 a.m. the same day to reserve a bed if they have any if you need a place to sleep for the night. If you're going to be staying there I recommend trying to get a bed as close as possible to staff as possible, do not have any loose belongings on you when you go there as they might get stolen, if we have something of value keep it under your shirt or coat or sweater and tie it to you securely before you go to sleep..”
“Recently the clothes they have are new and beautiful. Prices are awesomeGlad to see they have better options now. Staff ok not super friendly but doing there job.”
“I stopped in to check out the thrift store on the recommendation of my sister-in-law. What a delightful little store. My husband and I found several items we were looking for, all in excellent condition.”
“Found some great things there alot of retro stuff and antiques with excellent customer service I couldn’t believe some of the stuff they have I know there’s a few things I want to get before someone else does”
“I had time to visit one Goodwill while in Boston, so based on reviews, I chose this one. And I loved it! Only took cash since computers were down-so I was lucky I had cash. No dressing rooms-so I tried things on over my shirt. I ended up buying 4 things for right under $21!!! I loved all the things I found- a sleeveless sequined Ann Taylor top, a long sweater coat from J Jill, a Uniqlo puffer vest, and a like new red/blac/gray/white scarf. I traveled carry-on, so that was about all I could fit in my suitcase! But so worth it! Public parking lot near by. Siizes are all mixed. But because it's a smaller store, it wasn't too hard to go through. Prices are based on the item, so you don't know the price unless you ask. There are different color plastic tags that they use to price an item. I thought everything was affordable-lots of great choices!”
“Packed with so much stuff, found some great items here, feels cramped but it’s worth it to scour the aisles.Unlike most thrifts, the sale colors are easy to find and plentiful, it’s worth it to shop the sales and you’ll find some gems.Clothes here are NOT organized by size, and quite frankly even style. There’s tops, pants, and pajamas and dresses. You need to give yourself 1-2 hours to really get a good search of the place.Home goods are pretty lacking, this isn’t the place to come shopping for a new apartment.”
“I love this location! I always walk out with some fun goodies and they have such a great collection of vintage ceramics/plates. The employees are nice considering all the craziness they have to put up with but Richard is my fave guy. Def take a look if you’re ever nearby!”
“very nice staff, great selection with an awesome men’s sweater section! everyone saying it was dirty or a bad thrift store was either in a bad mood or that was their first ever thrift store lol! thrift stores aren’t known for being squeaky clean!”
“Goodwill Industries International Inc., simply known as Goodwill, is an American nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that provides job training, employment placement services, and other community-based programs for people who face barriers in their employment.”
“Will be closed on mid July, not sure when will reopening. Got 1 jeans and 1 pants for $7! (both on 50%off sale) Definitely have some gems but need some time to dig into it.”
“Great store! Very clean, items organized by category and color. Very reasonable prices. Only down side is fittings rooms are closed, so have to guess with sizing”
“Ive been donating here and shopping here on a regular basis for at least 2 years now, quick donations process and easy to shop here! Staff don’t bother you. Have thrifted an entire professional wardrobe here and also a number of great personal pieces that I absolutely cherish. Pricewise, about 8 items will run you $40+. You can decide if this is good for you. I go for the size, it makes this trip worthwhile.”

238 Elm St, Somerville“The best buffalo exchange I’ve been to - great selection, unbeatable prices, and really kind staff. I heard they are getting troll reviews that are hurting their rating - it’s a shame because this was one of my best thrifting hauls in a minute!!”

312 Harvard St, Brookline“LOVE this store. Always my go to for affordable clothes and they often take my items when I go to sell! Trinity <3 especially is a lovely person to chat with during the selling process and I can say the same about every employee I’ve ever worked with. Truly a gem of a place, thanks to everyone who makes this store a fun and joyful experience every single time I’m in.”
“My sister and I took six bags and two boxes of items to drop off. Three bags were "poundage," torn, stained, or well-worn clothing that they take to sell per pound to textile recycling. The process was quick and easy and they provide you with a receipt for tax purposes. I like that the proceeds benefit the Interfaith Social Services' food pantry, mental health counseling center, and homelessness prevention program.”
