Unique Boutique Third Avenue

Solid experience! I came in today, a Saturday afternoon, and was able to find some good pieces for work for great prices! I got a blouse, a tshirt, a dress, a pair of pants, and 2 cardigans — the total was under $ 35!!! Whuuut! All of the clothes I got are in great condition, no signs of wear and some are name brand :) I’m very happy.
Had a little trouble using my debit card, but the sales guy ended up putting my info in manually and it went through fine.

We spent about 30 minutes looking through the store which was small and didn’t have an amazing selection of items (obviously that changes daily, but over all we were underwhelmed). So finally we went to check out with about $ 20 worth of items and the guy working put my debit card through and said it didn’t work. So I check my bank account and I have plenty of money, so I ask him to do it again and watch him this time. He puts it through wrong on the machine (it’s an error message, not a message saying my card was declined) when I tell him this, he shrugs and says it’s my card, not his machine. So my fiancée tries her card (which is from Canada and only works as credit here) and he tried to put it through as debit and then blamed us for it not working. We ended up leaving the items there and shopping at goodwill. Horrible customer service. Never shopping there again.

Just moved to area and consider myself a «thrift queen» I loved how cute and small this place is. It’s clean and not overwhelming to dig through. It’s organized by clothes categories. Not by sizing or color. (Like most community thrift shops) I loved how nice the man was up front ! They had a lot of great brands for super cheap. Walked out with YSL bag for $ 20 and jacket from YSL as well for $ 10. Not much vintage clothing but great brands. LOTS OF BOOKS and great pieces for your home.
Cute shoes organized by size which is GREAT! Over all, I will be coming back for sure !!!

This is my favorite place to shop for used furniture and books! In the past I’ve moved so much. At times I need to find a special table (or cabinet) to fit a spot. I always check Unique Boutique before buying new. For the most part they have products that are cared for by the previous owner.
You can always find the book section in a mess. They can’t keep it neat as this is a super popular section of the store. They get some great reads. I found books for family members that have special hobbies. You never know what you’ll find; cooking, knitting, sewing, history, poetry, modern, classics, etc. Same goes for the variety of CD’s. I’ve only purchased books. The ones they have are in good condition.
The clothes are arranged neat, as well as, belts, and shoes. They have a fitting room. I love the selection of glass items. Little fancy dishes make great gifts. Nothing chipped, cracked or unsightly!
The store is currently decorated for the holidays. If you want something better grab it when you see it. I came back today for something I saw in the window on Saturday. It was gone!
Check out my pictures. If you like what you see, go in and take a look around. I can’t speak for their other locations. This location is always nice!

Friendly staff and customers. Cozy, warm and cheery space; now they’re decked out for Halloween. Starting from scratch with a professional winter wardrobe (moved here from abroad) and found wardrobe workhorse pieces here. They also have jewelry and accessories, a few children’s pieces and men’s coats and clothing, an entire book corner, CDs and DVDs, décor etc.

I love the two guys who work here! They are always cheerful and remember you. I had once mentioned that I am originally from Nepal. When i visited the store two weeks back, they were so sincerely concerned about the Nepal earthquake. I was very touched by their kindness. The store is clean and organized!

I recently moved to the area and wanted to check out this place after my roommate and I walked by it one night.
I was pleasantly surprised by how many great things I found! Everything I saw was under $ 15 dollars (except for coats and suits) and very clean. The store even has 50% off certain colored tags, making things even more affordable. There is only one small dressing room but it was open and I was able to quickly try things on.
The owner was very pleasant as he rang me up although the majority of the time while I was in the store he was busy hanging items up and pricing them (however it’s a thrift store so I didn’t need much assistance while perusing items).
It also seemed very easy to bring in donations and definitely will keep this mind while clearing out my closet!
Very glad I found this spot!

Wonderful thrift store! Very adorable and friendly people on a Sunday visit. Tons of books to peruse through, all for less than $ 2. Shoes are a little old, but the clothing is definitely worth going through. My treasure was a vintage chocolate brown oversized coat by Christian Dior for $ 29.99 staff was very kind and not obtrusive at all.
Not a lot in the jewelry and housewares department, at least during my visit, but a very cute place to stop by when you have time to kill!

I passed by this place while walking the area on a snowy day. 50% off pink tag clothing. I left with 4 sweaters & a book for $ 20! :D now THATS a thrift store I can get down with. A dressing room to try your terrific finds, name brand clothes, friendly employees. Don’t mind if I do return… don’t mind at all. It is VERY organized! :D

Cute boutique. Pretty organized, prices are good. Great shoe and jacket selection. I ended up leaving with a rabbit fur vest. Super cute. I will check back often!

Awesome place. As a guy, yesterday I was looking at a frock to wear at a Halloween party. Apart from struggling with the very slim sizes they have (UES ladies…), I did eventually find one, and bought a little chain, both together for less than 8 dollars. Saw a stunning silk, navy blue skirt made for someone half my size … The guys running it are very nice, though there were some perturbed looks as I was trying on various things…

Love this store! It’s exactly what a thrift store should be – lots to look through, new things each time you come in, and actually inexpensive – as thrift is meant to be.
I’ve particularly done well with dresses, camis and shoes at this location. Plus, the staff is kind each and every time I come in.

Found this place like a year ago, pretty close to the six train. Found my fav sweater by Oscar de la renta before for only $ 5. Not only that I got a brand new tank with tags on from urban outfitters for like $ 3 when this place was having a 50% promotion. I did go back few other times but no luck, however they’re really great, organized and not crowded.

nice location with lots of clothes. definitely a spot to check out at least once in a while when in the neighborhood. clean and well kept but clothes are mixed up between women and men sections

Cheaper than their UWS counterpart, this location has some neat finds. Maybe not as pristine as the UWS, but worth a visit if you’re in the neighborhood.

Mint condition Steve Madden oxfords for 12 dollars. What can I say? :)

I visited «Unique Boutique’ for the first time in December. Absolutely FABULOUS. A lot bigger that the average thrift store. Sells a variety of merchandise including female & male clothing, shoes, jewellery, cd’s, houseware and paintings. Lots of brand names to chose from, such as Banana Republic, Gap & Chanel.
I unfortunately did not find anything for myself, but I found a pair of pants for a close friend. Thrift stores are always a little hit and miss. The pants were Gap brand and only $ 12.99…BARGAIN!!! Pants range from $ 10-​$ 15, shirts range from $ 5-​$ 14 and shoes range from $ 15-​$ 25.
Be sure to check for the quality of some of the merchandise. It may be brandname, but be careful it doesn’t have any tears, loose threads or stains!
I would totally recommend you visit «Unique Boutique”. A great and affordable place to find something UNIQUE!!!

I lost interest in thrift stores for a bit because many of the ones I went to were still pretty expensive. But Unique Boutique is what a thrift shop should be!
I stopped by this place for the first time with friends because it was close to where we were staying. The place is compact but not claustrophobic.
The displays near the front of the store are for watches and jewellery. (Also, check under the cash counter for more jewellery and trinkets!)
The rack on the right side of the wall is full of women’s tops. I don’t think they’re sorted by any order so take your time going through them. They’re a mish-​mash of your everyday tops from Old Navy to Ralph Loren fitted shirts to DKNY/​BCBG/​higher-​end apparel. I’ve only gone through the rack twice so I can’t say exactly what the most common sizes are but I did see a lot of sizes 4 — 6 and XS, S.
Oh, the best part: nothing on this rack is over $ 15. I was delighted to pick up a BCBG dress shirt for $ 13, a Calvin Klein dress shirt for $ 7, and a GAP cardigan for $ 7. Can you believe it?
After this rack, there are two along the walls that hold suits and blazers. Some are full sets that come with the pants. Nothing here is over $ 30. Which is pretty amazing since I saw a full Giogio Armani suit set here.
Near the middle-​back of the room are racks for dresses, coats, jeans, and skirts. I found another steal today when I went back — a Club Monaco skirt originally for $ 139 being sold for $ 13. I snagged it immediately.
The skirt selection isn’t huge but there are great brands like YvesSaintLaurent, Armani, Banana Republic, etc. Just hope that your size is there!
I didn’t look at the books at all but I overheard the owner say that it was $ 2 for a hardcover and $ 1 (or $ 1.50?) for the softcovers.
There is also one small fitting room in the back. You can only bring 4 items in at a time, and don’t bring your bag… but the owner was such a nice guy when I talked to him after picking out like 20 items that he relaxed those rules.
I should also mention that there is a nice stand of shoes/​boots in the middle of the room. I didn’t take a close look but my friend picked up a nice pair of faux-​suede grey boots for $ 12.
5 stars for the selection, price, and service. The owner is a wonderful person who treats every customer so nicely.
One last note: he said that they get new shipments in every week. So if you didn’t find what you wanted, keep checking back for great deals! I know I’M going back.

Sweet-​ass, diehard sexy elie tahari knee high leather boots with Victorian hook-​up side buttons? $ 14.
Dillin’ shades with weirdly shaped titanium rims and violet lenses? $ 10.
Finding everything you need, while seeing lots of other stuff you want but don’t need, in less than 15 minutes? Priceless.

This is such a hidden gem of a thrift store, especially for cute INEXPENSIVE designer dresses
