Really a hole in the wall run by a Southeast Asian couple. Reviews have said that if you can find things if you dig. Well, I was worried if I touched something, a whole wall of stacked bric-à-brac would bury me. Smells like curry in the front. Either that or some tech guy got buried underneath some pile. Lots of furniture, electronics, some clothes. The LP selection is tired and beat up– didn’t buy anything. There was a decent Ray Charles record(an early Atlantic release), supposedly ‘unbreakable,’ with a huge 5″ divot out of it. Also found a record with Johnny Hodges playing with Lawrence Welk. Why would a languorous jazz saxophonist play with a hokey polka band leader? I don’t know. Even the noted jazz critic Stanley Dance did not mention the word«jazz» in the liner notes. I guess it had something to do with the accordion quartet… The pictures you see really don’t show how much stock is in the store now. It’s now pretty much floor to ceiling with about am 18 to 24 inch path from front to back with really narrow side aisles.

This thrift store is unlike most. You must be ready to really HUNT for what you are looking for. Things are organized into general sections but only haphazardly so. It is best if you are looking for knicknacks, home décor or a unique gift. There is only a small clothing and shoe selection but a TON of jewelry to look through. Prices are higher than other thrift stores but the owner has let me talk her down.

I bought two rings from here for three dollars, might put up pics soon. This shop is VERY small and very cluttered. There’s a creepy assortment of dolls and mannequins. However, the shopkeeper was pleasant and the jewelry selection not bad. Brooches were five dollars each, which is lame cause you can get them for cheaper on eBay. There were two pairs of earrings there that stood out to me. One was $ 25 and the other $ 10. The twenty dollar one was apparently a precious stone or something but /: I don’t know. There’s a huge selection of jewelry but they’re all crammed together in the glass box under the register. It makes it hard to really browse when you have to specifically ask for everything you want to see. There’s parking from a nearby Closed Ralph’s. only a five minute walk.

Some good finds but it’s prob broken under some pile of something so good luck finding! Serious fire hazard. If you like to haggle, shop here! It’s like ‘Storage Wars’ meets ‘Hoarders’

Opens from 11am-5pm Street parking! Had to look for $ jewelries for a 1920’s event and ta-da, this place got my through it. They seriously have a bunch of used items, super old stuff that many people do not want. I was just glad they had what I needed, which were pearls! Ah… $ 1 pearl necklaces and brackets? That totally completed my look. I agree with Vic. C, NOT everything is cheap in the store. Cramped aisle indeed… so be careful not to knock things over. I feel like they have more random things and jewelries than clothes. So good luck in finding what you’re looking for for a one time use!

Came here one and would probably would not come back because I thought the items here were overpriced but bargaining seemed to be accepted here. The woman at the front of the store seemed to be closely watching everything who came inside the cramped store(there are narrow aisles to walk through in between furniture) which made me feel uncomfortable. It’s not like I’d steal from a thrift store, but whatever. This store sells mainly toys, furniture and the like. There are quite a bit of jewelry items in the display case up in the front of the store. There are not clothes sold here. Nothing really attracts me to this store, but furniture seekers and possibly jewelry finders may be interested. Probably would not come here again. You may miss this store if you are looking for it. It is right next to a Pizza place. Just park on the street and then you’ll find it once you walk. And since you’re already here, you can walk over to the City of Hope Thrift Store and Bargain Box at the end of the street.
