BEST THRIFT STORE IN ORLANDO. Today was my first time going in and it was nothing compared to goodwill or plato's closet. The store layout is very big and very well organized. It was spacious but everything had its place and I really liked how the jewelry and accessories were actually on display and well organized for people to look at and try on. I found soooo many archive and unique pieces that were in great condition. The fitting rooms were easily accessible, spacious and clean. I picked out so many things and it only came out to $60. Everything seems reasonably priced for the quality, the most I spent was $20 on a pair of jeans but they fit LIKE A GLOVE and looked like new. I will 100% be bringing my friends here. Sometimes in thrift stores, the larger sizes don't really have cute options but this store had *so many* to choose from. They had everything - women, men, accessories, shoes, jackets, and bags. I swear I spent almost 2 hours in there! Overall, it was great. Employees were very chill and kind read more

So, i went to drop off some clothes and my turnout cash was.. okay. But i will say that they act a little high and mighty in there (some of them, not all). Weird ass stares hidden behind fake ass smiles lol but hey, go off Avalon read more

Dirty store. I walked in with clean clothes and walked out with a giant black ink stain on my jeans. Not sure what did it but keep an eye on your clothes while shopping here. read more

Avalon Exchange - The ink stain I got from this store. - Women's Clothing Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

They don't allow refunds or even exchanges if an item doesn't fit :( I didn't have time to try it on in the store because my mom was waiting outside. read more

why do you hire the rudest employees? and obviously do not seem to care since multiple people complain about the customer service being horrible and yet every time i go, i leave wondering why i did. i finally took my husband and he said the same exact thing - so from now on the lovely people at the goodwill across the street will get our service. read more

Absolutely horrible customer service, very disrespectful and rude. I spent $40 on clothes that did not fit and I was not able to try them on in store (due to the fitting rooms being closed) and when I attempted to return them, one of the two workers refused and was nasty about the "policy," so I was unable to make the return. Their instagram even said they're accepting some returns. Not worth your time, bad clothes and a bad attitude. Very disappointing. read more

The manager personally helped me find everything I needed,cute clothes and I had a good experience!! Definitely recommend

If you're trying to sell clothes, don't even bother going to the two nearby Plato's Closet locations. Avalon took all of my more unique pieces that Plato's wouldn't and I've already seen them leave the racks at the store. Selling clothes to them was great. If you're shopping here, have a blast! Their items are exactly what I expect and want from a thrift store - cool, edgy, unique, and more. Plus, their racks aren't overflowing and are well organized, making it so easy to shop. Their prices are pretty good, too - I would say they've properly priced items based on their value. I got an adorable shirt that would've been 3x more expensive had I bought it from the original seller so I was pleased! Lastly, the interior design of the store - I LOVED it!!! Such a cool and chic place - really reminded me of the thrift stores I loved in Manhattan, just more modern! Please do visit this store for great shopping. read more

I'm a little disappointed because I've been here a few times, and honestly their clothes are pretty washed out and worn, but I've still purchased from them and sold to them despite it being subpar to most thrift stores. I was really disappointed this time though, because I brought some never worn allsaints, free people, and Zara pieces. They offered 35 dollars for about 10 pieces. I asked for the allsaints dresses back and they took $10 off the offer (each dress was around $300 and never worn). If you're going to sell quality stuff just go to dechoes so you're going somewhere where they recognize the quality. I don't think this is the place to sell if you really want to resell good non worn out pieces. read more

I do not know why I returned to Avalon. Was hoping the staff had become friendlier. Extremely rude and arrogant - not sure why....this is a resale store for goodness sake. Someone needs to give them some completion in Winter Park. I will not be returning and plan on sharing my experience with friends. So disappointed. read more

The most easy and pain-free selling I have experienced. Cute selection of vintage clothes to look at while you wait for your clothes to be processed. Don't forget to make a selling appointment online though! read more

Rude! Walked in and before I got to the counter I was told we can't use your stuff. I had all on hangers and they look at me to old I guess?? They felt it to fancy for them. Items had never been worn and some had sales tags on them but they didn't have the time of day to look at them. Bags all over the place on the floor. Don't waste your time! read more

Most of the staff are too aloof and immature. They don't take most of what you bring in, regardless how nice and good condition your clothes are. They are very specific to vintage and low-grade clothes. I will admit of how busy the store was the entire time I was in there... they obviously know what their market is. Unfortunately, my style is too sophisticated for their clientele, an observation... not a critics. Unless you're a teen or millennial, don't waste your time trying to consign here. read more

Modern and trendy boutique thrift store. You can buy sell or trade, not quite sure how you trade. When you bring in your items you can opt for store credit or cash on the spot. They look for trendy pieces that are popular now, so don't plan on bringing in t shirts with sweat stains your grandpa used to wear while washing the car in summer and expect to get paid. Unless that were in style, but i don't think it is. Let's wait a year and see. Everything is clean and we'll organized. They keep the high end pieces locked up behind the counter but they will let you look at anything you're interested in. Prices were decent, nothing outrageous. There was brand names and random things mixed together, if you have time it's worth it to go through the racks piece by piece. You may end up finding a treasure. Staff didn't interact much with us even though we were looking at items behind the counter, they just went about their business. They had a ton of sunglasses, shoes and clothes, not many handbags however which is what I usually look for. I'd stop in again to check out new inventory, it's ever changing with one of a kind items. read more

They offer a lot of brand variety, and most of the items are in good conditions. Both times I've went, their items have been organized very clearly and consistently so it's easy to find the type of clothing item you want instead of thrifting from rack to rack with all sorts of clutter (makes my head hurt when it's like that). The employees are also very nice and helpful all throughout, from fitting room to cashiers :). If you're in the Orlando area, really consider trying here for a quick look around, the parking has always been pretty easy to find for me although it's mainly parallel parking read more

Good selection of clothes if you're looking for assorted vintage with higher prices than actual thrift stores. Do not expect any help from the employees as they are very , very rude. I've never had a good experience with them and even over the phone they are incredibly rushed and rude. Have heard they have problems with employees before and recommend management do something about it if they want customer retention to ever be existent read more

So this place had cool vibes, cool patrons, and nice clothes. Found two pairs of pants and two tops. They were more expensive that I would have liked, so I suggest going not expecting to really get a steal. I still think it's worth checking it out for yourself though:) I also liked the jewelry a lot read more

Eh. It's pretty overpriced for a "thrift" store. Definitely more of a second-hand boutique. Cute stuff though.

Loved the store. I'm digging the styles being Florida doesn't have many stores with nice clothes. Please get more women's clothing !!! I saw more men's clothes than women read more

Incredibly disappointing experience selling clothing here. I washed and steamed two large full bags full of lightly worn or brand new with tags items. Many of which the brands are on their list of brands, and one single t-shirt (not on their brand list) was purchased for $3. I even tried to cater the chosen items to the hipster vibe given off by the store. I will never again bring my good quality consignment items here. What a waste of time. read more

This hip resale shop definitely has curb appeal, for millennials but the staff and overall system and/or selection leaves much to be desired. I've been a few times, and purchased some items, decently priced. They seem to carry some real 'rags' and super vintage items, which I'm assuming is to appeal to the hipsters? That kind of stuff you could easily get a goodwill or Salvation Army at a fraction of the price. What I think is a HUGE eyesore is the mound of bags they have collecting around the registers of items people are trying to sell. It's distracting to the purses, sunglasses, and jeans (located in this area). The process to sell stuff is awful, and the staff is less than friendly. They lack basic customer service skills, and always seem out of it. I thought it was a one time occurrence, but it's been consistent with my visit. I think their overall, disorganized process is overwhelming. If you're trying to sell stuff, be warned. They just throw your bag over in an unmonitored pile (in front of registers) when their done, something could easily be stolen. For someone who enjoys thrift, resale, consignment, antique shops- this is one I won't go back to. read more

This is the best spot to get the best fit in Orlando for the best price -- bar none. Also the staff are the nicest people you could ever have the pleasure of buying something from. read more

I'm a big fan of cheap clothes, good music, and fun accessories. I really prefer Avalon over other resale shops because of the variety of clothing, prices, and atmosphere. I almost always end up buying something, usually a LBD, and am always happy with the price. Today I bought two dresses for less than $20! I used my trade as I had recently cleaned out my closet and still had some money left over to use as store credit. I've found that the variety and prices are a better combination than stores like Plato's or Dechoes. The brands are higher end but you can also find super cute vintage stuff. Even with nicer brands, the prices are way better than other stores. They definitely have my loyalty! read more

If you're looking for a thrift shop that is clean, organized and has moderately-priced pieces, then this is the store for you. The store is very large and spacious and when you first walk in, you can tell everything is very clean by how it smells. They sell lots of items so you can definitely find something to purchase. I bought some shorts and two pairs of shoes. Most of the shoes are in very good condition. My main frustration was that when I tried on 5 pairs of shorts all of the same size, 2 were WAY too big, 2 didn't even go past my knees, and one fit me. I know that this might not be their fault since different brands have vastly different sizing but it was very annoying. Since I go to many thrift and vintage stores, I find this store pretty expensive. However, this is a great place to start for people who aren't familiar with/intimidated by thrift stores. read more

Super overpriced and inventory is junk. Sweatshirts from k-Mart marked 13 bucks ?? Get out of here. Vintage is diff from old , used clothing. They need to get a clue. read more

Waited for 2 hours under the sun for their dollar sale, only to find garbage, literally Publix uniforms. Just go to Goodwill.

So glad I stumbled on this place after going to the goodwill boutique. Very cute modern thrift shop. You can buy, sell, or trade. Great prices, nice staff, cool vibe. I found a BCBG jumpsuit and Zara shoes and paid only $25 #dea read more

This easiest way to describe Avalon Exchange is a trendier Platos Closet. They definitely have less clothes than plato but you can tell that they specifically only try to sell clothes that are currently trending. All the clothes are targeted more to teens/ young adults. The prices are equal to what you would expect at Platos Closet ranging from $8 for a shirt to $15 for a pair of shorts and closer to $20 for a pair of pants. I would definitely recommend going if you're looking for a specific item that it getting popular on social media. I am definitely going back again. read more

Definitely a let down. Clothes were not in good condition. And selection was not great.

I've been to this thrift store many many times and I've always been disappointed by the sizes they carry. There are little to no plus sizes for the women's section. However, they do have a great selection of quality jeans! The accessories are a plus as well. They have fun colored/shaped sunglasses and nice belts. I will say that the prices are a bit high for a thrift store.. I could get the graphic tees for about the same price at Target but overall a fun store :) read more

Very nice store! Appealing on the inside and the overall set up is perfect. It is a high end thrift store so don't expect to find anything under about 8 or 10$. They have the best vintage tshirts and most fun sun glasses. A fun and chill thing to do with friends for sure. read more

It's truly hit or miss. More often miss, tbh. The parking is atrocious and this vibe just doesn't cut it.

Their $1 per item sale was a complete scam. Most racks had really REALLY worn out and just honestly scraps of clothing. I've seen better product quality at Goodwill at probably a fraction of the cost on a regular day. And let me not even get started with their regular priced merchandise. Charging $10 for basic non-branded graphic tees. Their prices did not live up to ANY of their merchandise. Absolutely tragic across the board. Walked in, spent max 20 minutes, left empty handed. Might try to come back, but honestly that one visit alone killed the momentum I see on their IG posts on the alleged great product they carry. read more

I've bought and sold clothes here, and am a fan. The space is super cute, bright and open, and the clothes are organized and not smashed together on the racks, so you can actually see everything. On my first visit, I brought in a couple bags of clothes and shoes to sell, and walked around and looked at clothes while they went through them. I felt I was offered a pretty fair price for my items, as they were a mix of professional and casual clothes, spanning different brands. It didn't take them long to make me an offer, and I was given cash on the spot. You also have the option to take a store credit. When I came back to shop, I chuckled as I saw a few of my dresses on the racks. I ended up trying a few items on, and bought a top. Again, prices are super reasonable, and they have a small selection of dresses that would be ideal for upcoming holiday events. They also have a good selection of jewelry, sunglasses, and handbags. Since they are getting new items in every week, I plan to check back in often. read more

I'm an avid supporter of local businesses and an advocate for sustainability in the fashion & retail industries. Shopping at secondhand & thrift stores is a great way to help cut down on excess waste. I've shopped at this store off-and-on for the last 10+ years, and have left disgruntled every. single. time. Overall inadequate customer service, a poorly merchandised floor, and a seemingly shoddy business model. Overrated... read more

What an awesome shop! I found out about them via Instagram and I finally got around to visiting them this weekend. It's definitely one of the best consignment shops in the area. The space is large and clean with a wide selection (men's department was lacking, but I find that to be a common occurrence with consignment shops in the area) As a lover of all things designer and high end, it's wonderful that they have a great selection of higher end pieces at reasonable/affordable prices! I picked up a beautiful DVF wrap dress for $20. Can you say "score"?! I also managed to pick up what seemed to be a brand new Jill Sanders jacket for around the same price. While same people may like the "chaos" of some consignment/vintage shops, I'm not a fan. I know what I like and what I'm looking for when shopping consignment so shopping somewhere that's neat and organized is more my style. Avalon offers just that! Everything is neatly organized and easy to look through. The shop is easy to navigate through; not overwhelming or chaotic in the least! read more

Stumbled upon this thrift shop with a friend of mine and I love it now! They have super great clothing options for super cheap prices. The aesthetic is super cute and the staff is always friendly and willing to help. The bargains are real!!! My sister even found some doc martens for $40 instead of the $120+ they retail for and in mint condition!! I definitely recommend visiting this store. read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. My best friend went here and waited 2 HOURS while they sorted one huge bag of clothing and from that, they only picked out 3 items and offered her $13. the items they accepted were stained, ripped and gross. She drove over 30 minutes to get to the WP location, and now she'll use the $13 for gas money. A complete waste of time and gas. read more

This is very nearly everything I'd wish a vintage clothes store to be. Tasteful, low-key decor, friendly staff, spacious and well lit fitting rooms. Enough stock so that there's plenty to look through, not so much that clothing is crammed onto the racks so tightly you can barely see what's there. Size information written clearly on the price tag so you don't have to hunt for the garment label. A good spread of clothing through the sizes--just as much selection for XS as for M as for XL (I did not notice a petite or plus-size section though). Unfortunately, the style range is kind of limited. Obviously the buyer can only choose from what's brought in to sell, but I feel like if you don't enjoy shopping at Urban Outfitters or Anthropologie, you're not going to find much here for you either. Two things I was not impressed by: during the 40 minutes or so I spent browsing, neither of the employees on duty seemed to notice the several items of clothing that had fallen on the floor, even though there were only two other customers in besides myself. Then I noticed that a large percentage of their sunglasses selection came from Forever 21. I know because I had bought (and promptly broke) several of them a couple years ago. New, they were $4. Here they're $10. I don't mind some markup, but a 150% increase on cheap, notoriously flimsy sunglasses rubs me the wrong way. read more

Very clean, organized, and the prices were decent. I loved this thrift store, wish they had one in California! Highly recommend! read more
