I used to love this store but just recently and purchased a good amount of pieces. When it was time to ring me up the two older men jockeys about “charging” me for the paper they were wrapping the items in.

The most recent visit one of the same old man kept staring at me as I shopped around. It got so weird I confronted him. He was then annoyed when I wanted to set my items up front while I keep looking.

Because I am a Hispanic woman I felt he was racially profiling me because I didn’t look like a woman who had money.

I do not recommend this store. Very rude. Very disappointed on the employees there.

One of the best thrift or benefit shops in the Monterey / Carmel / Pacific Grove area.

Excellent high quality stock priced fairly. They move a lot of merchandise so there is always new stuff.

A little bit of everything with some of the best selections of furniture - you'll find unusual pieces and high quality standard pieces.

An unique collection of art often signed are typically found right in the door to the left.

The staff is friendly, helpful and available to help load larger purchases.

Tucked away in the far corner next to Lucky's Supermarket.

This used to be my favorite thrift/charity store. Within the past few months, prices are much higher as they list items based on online comparison. Online prices are way overblown and 90% never sell for that higher price.
When shops do this on donated goods, it's a complete turn off. You make more money selling at affordable prices, move inventory much faster and get steady clientele.
Yes, you're donating for a good cause, but you're losing customers and even on the sale days or half off days, it's still too much.

Truly disappointed they got sucked into the Ebay price comparisons. All the shops around here are going in this direction, it's sad.

We've just made our second visit to this shop during a Christmas season, and we again found an excellent selection of items at not the lowest prices. The volunteer workers are helpful, although not as up-to-speed as employees in a retail setting. A relaxed approach is the best match for this shopping experience. A cold day, and good warm stuff to wear found this time. Still a fun experience.

Found some shoes that were almost brand new that retail for well over $100 and I only paid $12. You have to look carefully but you will come across a deal like this when you shop here. People that run the store are nice and greeted us when we walked in . Will come back soon to find another deal

Me and my wife go here often. I love that the area is so generous in their donations as this place tends to be far different than your usual thrift store.
The local donations are so generous its not uncommon to find high end jewelry and or clothing.

Though their prices are often a bit high, i jabs found some incredible deals on things I've really wanted, especially furniture and picture frames. They get in a lot of high end items. Great place to revisit often to find the best items.

Wonderful store to just browse...i never know what treasures i will find! And since I now have lung cancer (never smoked) I take all my best donations to them...some of it quite valuable.
