Einstein’s Attic

I used to shop at the old location on 59 in Kent & have made my way to the Cherry St. location a number of times. Unlike all the other new businesses in Kent, this place is very fairly priced. I always see the same woman (I’m assuming the owner?) with a cute short haircut working & she is always incredibly nice to me! And as past reviews have included, there is a little bit of everything.
The selection of incense, oriental items and gems is worth the trip alone, not to mention that I found an actual Chinses womens top for just $ 7.00!!! Compared to
who sells it for $ 136.80. I also like the fact that they steam clean the furniture and sanitize the shoes & hats.
This is definitely worth the trip if you are in the area :) But keep in mind that if you are using a credit/​debit card there is a minimum of $ 10.00.

I love looking around here and I have found some really interesting unique items. Its small, but they make up for it by keeping a very affordable selection. Around Halloween its mostly cheap novelty items and costumes because that’s how they make most of their money.
They have furniture here and it is very reasonably priced and they even deliver. I’ve purchased a leather couch for $ 30 after not finding anything at Habitat for Humanity or Goodwill. The clothing is always fun and when I just need to kill time, I love looking around.
They claim that the items are vintage, but that’s suspect. I have a good eye for that kind of thing and I’ve found a few items marked as vintage that weren’t any older than a few years, but even some high end vintage stores have been guilty of that. I bought a black A-​line dress marked as a vintage cheerleader outfit, but it was actually a dress from Urban Outfitters. The dress was only $ 10 and retailed for over a $ 100 so I really don’t care and its one of my favorite dresses! Its a fun place to browse, its super cheap, and one of the more interesting resale shops I’ve found in the area.

Very small store, just two little rooms from what i could see. Stopped in based on the other reviews (the store has moved so it’s no longer downtown) and it seemed to be mostly costumes. Some were pretty well put together (full on suit, rifle, glasses, stuffed moose to make one into Sarah Palin) and some other nifty pieces you could probably draft into a cool costume (glittery knee high boots, wigs, etc.)
But is there some rule that thrift stores must smell intensely like incense or smokiness? I expect a little funk but this was strong we had to leave after just a few minutes.

Einstein’s Attic is the best. Everything changes pretty often, so it warrants a monthy trip. Lots of random quirky items for great prices. My favorite buy was a super-​vintage typewriter… Absolutely gorgeous and only $ 20! You must check out Einstein’s!

I absolutely love this store. It’s not incredibly expansive or anything but it does hold many interesting and nostalgic items at decent prices. They have a pretty good selection of used clothing from the past few decades. You can find anything from a super nintendo to a set of star wars collector glasses from the 80’s. Lots of hidden treasures here that seem to be updated frequently. If you are around Kent, GO!

A neat little vintage/​novelty store in Kent. They have a wide assortment of clothes and accessories that will be sure to fill your need for a nostalgic or vintage look. It is worth the trip out of the usual shopping areas in Kent, and it’s very close to the movie theater which is handy for pre or post cinematic browsing.
