La Bomba

This clothing store is, so over rated most people go wild over the simplest things. The major turn off was their over priced poor quality vintage clothing I would rather go to the Antiques shops around the area. They have similar items to match. To be fair this place might have few hidden treasures that will cost an arm and a leg.

Only been here twice and they always have something different that I like. And the employees are very helpful especially Sean who helped me find exactly what I was looking for. Will be coming back for more clothes.

I enjoyed the unique vibe… I feel like this would be the ideal place for any «pretty in pink» fans out there.
I was pleasantly surprised that this space was pretty open and had a lot of neat things to look at.

I needed an entire disco/​1970s getup for a fundraiser I was attending. I didn’t have the time to roll thrift store to thrift store looking for bargain-​priced diamonds in the rough. Nor did I have the budget, patience, or time to head straight to a high-​dollar vintage store on Melrose catering to fat-​walleted Japanese tourists.
But as soon as I walked into La Bomba I knew I had come to the right place.
The selection of both men’s and women’s vintage clothes was sensational (and men’s pickings were slim in the rest of the antique district). And Albert, who was on duty that day, was instrumental in helping me out. He was super helpful and friendly the whole time.

This place is hipster heaven! They have so many retro and vintage clothing here. Prices are kind of pricey but they usually have the harder things to find… and usually a lot cleaner. I love the staff. Workers are always so friendly and welcoming. I am glad they are still in business and I hope they stay in business for many years to come. Its only of my favorite place to go to when Im at DTP. I always stop by just to check out if they got any new old members only jackets. Just an awesome place to buy awesome things.

Me and my wife went today And found the perfect dress and shirt to match for myself for an 80s party we are going to this weekend this place was great excellent selection of clothes

On my way to the Collectors Street Faire I decided to stop by this vintage thrift store. I had heard about this place before and since I was in the area I figured why not. Upon walking in you can already get that hipster vibe to it. Different kind of prints, buncha different fabric textures, all kinds of vintage décor. I wasn’t expecting anything but I ended up spending a lot of time in there.
Their selection is great. Not big mens selection but they had enough items to have my attention. Tons of old members only, tons of leather jackets, decent selection of dress shirts, and ties and other accessories. The only downfall of this place is that the prices are hipster prices. For a buncha old vintage thrift clothing they sure do jack up the prices. I paid nearly 20 bucks for an old red dress shirt that I found. Ridiculous but they know their target market and they know what is nice so I guess that justifies it? But man I would have bought so much if the prices were cheaper. I only rummaged through the mens selection but they had a large female selection so be sure to check them out. I will definitely come back when I have more money to buy some more items. The cashier is a cutie.

This is located in a great place and looks super nice. It is very clean in the inside and their clothes are ehh. The prices are not that great. I think just because it’s located in 2^nd street it raises thier prices. Its a nice place to just go look but they have very vintage and sometimes weird clothes. But to buy, not worth it.

Came up to see Hot Water Music at The Glasshouse a few weeks ago and was very pleased to see La Bomba on the side of the street as we looked for parking. It was nice to be able to kill sometime inside before going in for the concert. Some of their stuff was whacky tacky but someones bound to like it. I ended up finding a cool 60’s dress that I fell in love with for only $ 22 bucks. A score in my book! La Bomba, I hope your shop is still there the next time I roll through the inland empire!

If you don’t have the time to hunt at thriftstores, this is the place for you. Great merchandise. Pricey if you’re comparing to finding it at goodwill, but reasonable for what you’re getting (convenience). Found a darling 60’s Bobbie Brooks (long sleeve, peter pan colar, black lace with buttoms up the front and satin detailing) dress in excellent condition for $ 42. I could only imagine I would have found it on Etsy or ebay for the same price but probably wouldn’t buy from there since I can’t try on and send back if it didn’t fit or look good as I could in the store. Whoever is doing your buying is doing an excellent job in that era at least. Nice coats too. Appreciated the clothes being separated by era. Only suggestion is to mark the approximate size on the clothes so the clothes doesn’t get the extra wear and tear of too many try ons. Yes, the staff didn’t bother me but when I was ready to check out I had to wait while he was done talking to his friend, but not a biggie.

I’m always disappointed when I come here.
It’s definitely got a cool vibe which will attract you in and the staff won’t bug you but they’re all very friendly. However, in regards to the merchandise, it’s generally overpriced especially for the quality.
The shoes are pretty worn down and it’s not uncommon to discover buttons missing or stains on the clothing.
I understand that they’re vintage and not really thrift so higher prices are expected but I’ve found better quality clothing of the same era for cheaper prices at other places like Goodwill.

Neat vintage store, great cutomer service! found a 70’s shirt for my husband for only $ 15.00.

Cool place to browse for vintage clothing. I found some 80s attire here that I’m planning to wear for an 80s party. Definitely brought back memories of what I used to wear (don’t know if that’s good or bad). Service was really good and the staff helpful. If you’re in the market for vintage clothing for any reason, come here.

It’s a really chill spot. The only reason why I give it three stars is because of the prices — they really kind of turn me off. There are a pair of boots though that I’m eyeing, but that’s it. Everything else is like forty bucks for a shirt. Other than the price it’s really organized, clean and I love looking through everything!

It’s another vintage store in a downtown artsy area, but this is one of the few that has survived over the years. It’s been here a while. I remember 10 years ago it being here when I was in high school.
They got some dresses, they got shoes, cute sunglasses to make you feel vintage, and awesome coats.
Prices…eh some stuff is pricey… but some stuff is reasonable. The staff seems nice, and they don’t bother you.
If I had the money I would buy something.
Anyway check it out, it’s pretty cool. :)

If you ever have time to kill before a show at the Glass House, you could stop in here, they are usually open…
I have been shopping here since I was in high school. Their selection ranges mostly from the 1930s (sometimes even earlier) to the 1980s, with some pretty trippy psychedelic dresses and jumpsuits from the 60s and 70s.
They usually carry a selection of gorgeous lace and chiffon cocktail and prom dresses from the 50s and 60s. These are usually the highest priced items in the store, based on their condition – if they have defects though, they will be priced significantly lower!
They have a great selection of quirky small t-​shirts for ectomorphic hipster boys and girls, as well as many super cool Fight Club style man leather jackets. Lots of men’s polyester as well.
And of course, the SHOES! Shoes line the racks here, and there really are some beautiful finds from all decades, in all shapes and sizes. You won’t find much vintage jewelry here, and if you do it will likely be way over-​priced.
Overall? A very cool space.

This might be the most organized vintage clothing store in history. I am always in love with it, they have an amazing selection of great clothes, accessories, and shoes. It’s everything you want in a vintage clothing store because of how well it is organized and the incredible selection. It can get a little pricey here and there but it is totally worth it.
All the items are always in excellent condition which is a huge plus when vintage shopping and honestly they have the best selection of vintage shoes I have ever seen in the inland empire.

I grew up in Whittier, and due to the plethora of vintage stores Uptown, I spent my high school days decked out in old polyester button-​downs, little boys Chuck E. Cheese t-​shirts, polyester leisure suit pants, embroidered peasant blouses and hippie broomstick skirts. These days Uptown Whittier just doesn’t have the appeal it did in the ‘90s. The vintage shops aren’t as awesome, and they are fewer and farther between.
Enter La Bomba in Pomona. I walk inside, and I feel like a teenager again. There is gold to be found in this store. Krisztina V. found a pair of ‘60s-​era Beatle boots that fit her like a glove for only $ 10. And they are in perfect condition. The guy who runs the shop is super nice, and pretty knowledgeable about the stuff. It’s downright impressive.

La Bomba is amazing. My friends own this place. Which has other locations… Google it. I really do like the Long Beach location more so. Especially the pile sales… (get on the email list for that)… Anyhow this shop doesn’t sell shitty torn stained clothing. Everything is carefully chosen and is good… The shoe selection is good and they also have stuff for the boys here as well… What’s even better is that they stay open late when there are shows at the Glass House or events in the area.
If you are ever in Silver Lake be sure to check out their other store which goes by a different name. Replay…

La Bomba is home to thousands of vintage items. The prices are reasonable and the items are of great quality.
Hit up La Bomba towards the end of winter when the coats go on sale. I was able to purchase a long brown coat for $ 10. Needed one button replaced, but it was well worth it.
Lots of accessories to choose from including belts, sunglasses, hats, purses, cards, postcards, home decoration and a great place to put together an authentic looking halloween costume without having to sell your soul to Party City.
Lots of fun decorations on the inside. Beautiful mural on the wall outside. Less homeless than before!
This August, the Downtown Pomona Owners Assoc. is holding movie nights right outside La Bomba in the courtyard, or so i’ve heard. I attended last year and it was so much fun!
