friendly employees but man, they really price free things they get donated for so much. They had Lululemon, i get it the brand sells. But these leggings were KO. Pulling in the women area, threading apart and even holes and they still wanted 22$ for them. another pair only had threading issues. You get these for free and not everyone resells. They do sell fake and are aware as from what one employee told me that they are aware a specific item was not authentic which is illegal by law. Thankfully you can go next door to the goodwill and pick up the same brands without them falling apart like crazy for the fraction of from this store pricing. better condition next door and they will even reason with a price read more

Must be something about Clairemont thrift stores because this is also one of the worst thrift stores I've ever been to in my life. Just full of absolute trash that is insanely overpriced! Why am I paying more at a thrift store for used items than buying them brand new in a store? Especially for bad quality. The clothes weren't any better. I saw many target and shein clothes that cost more than they did when you buy them brand new. Make it make sense, please! read more

I normally don't leave bad reviews unless it's absolutely necessary. But it is time. I've been coming here for a while, the tags are almost always sized completely wrong. Example: Sized Large and in the wrong section, and then it's actually a size small according to internal tag. This has forced me to check every tag when I shop here and it's extremely frustrating. Staff is usually nice. But I had a crazy situation happen and I feel uncomfortable about it. I always hook my keys on my finger. I went to pay and had them under my clothes to pay. I set them on the counter. I walked about 10 feet away for a sec to hang something I no longer wanted back up so the cashier didn't have to. I came back to pay, went to walk to my car, realized my keys weren't there. Thinking the most rational thought, I'd left on the counter, or they fell, I didn't see them anywhere. I asked the manager to check where they were. She said I never took them off my finger, WHICH IS NOT THE TRUth...and was insisting that I'd dropped them outside. I didn't. It's day time. She them told me "this stuff been happening a lot." If people are losing items like this out of nowhere, it's time to investigate your staff. This makes no sense. I then had to uber home to grab new keys, and hope my car and items in it would still be there. I'm not accusing anyone directly. This was very bizarre and the behavior of the management didn't sit well with me. read more

Prices are very hit or miss. I've found very cheap stuff in here but 75% of stuff is way overpriced. Staff is usually standoffish or cold however they offer boxes for large amounts of items so that's nice. Lots of parking. Right next door to Goodwill. read more

Once again another of my reviews got tucked away into my drafts folder. Bridge Thrift was OK. I stopped in because it is next door to good will., which was more or less across the street from Del Taco where I had dinner. Back to Bridge. It's a good place to check if Good Will doesn't have what you are looking for. I wouldn't go out of my way to get there but I would stop by is I was near by. read more

this is a great location, they are just a bit pricey. but their selection is great and the people are very kind.

A former Goodwill store that has decent stuff for the area, albeit slightly overpriced. We almost bought a used sofa here for our basement room but ended up getting furniture from Amazon and Wayfair. Because the location is between Clairemont and Pacific Beach, they try to upcharge and focus on trendy items. It probably works though, or they wouldn't do it. Even the name suggests a positive modern approach. We thought there were decent things here, just nothing we wanted or needed. There were a nice handful of customers here the entire time. We browsed and found nothing, but saw things that would interest many that are trying to furnish their apartment. Low cost items that add character to a place. Cheaper sofas. Dining sets also. A decent place to get starter furniture and/or knickknacks for decorating. The sofa that peaked our interest was like 200$ but we waited and bought a much better one eventually that was totally brand new. Not a bad place for overall thrifting apparently, as I saw several female 20-somethings browsing the clothing racks. read more

Can you say slay? On a random day of thrifting I spotted some designer slingbacks. Such a score, thanks!

Found just the travel suitcase I needed, right before my upcoming flight. They also told me a good place to eat near by!! read more

Wonderful clean thrift store with ample parking A special thanks to Natalie who provided exceptional customer service (as well as the other team members) and I will be coming back because they are great! Great deals on very nice items Purchased a huge dog crate for 9.99 Also the store has some great hours read more

Probably the top of the worst thrift store (if yu can even call it that) that you can ever go to . Nothing under 7/8$ all basic and random logo shirts start at 8.99$ . They don't give any discounts and have self centered liberals only working there. I would not recommend wasting your time there and also donating to their establishment. There's better thrift store out there that do help out in the community unlike this greedy place . read more

I was in SD recently & wanted to get the thrifting experience there with the little time I had. The store was well organized and staff friendly. It's just the price that was not my favorite. I'm an avid thrift shopper and if prices are similar to Ross or DD's Discount, I'd rather go there as clothes are new at the same price. read more

Outrageous prices for not very good clothes. The prices are genuinely insane they are about the same as getting the items new would cost

Bought a small baggie of trading cards and every single one was counterfeit. Additionally, the store's prices have been gradually rising, with them having actual garbage in the back of store priced to be sold read more

The workers here are always very weird when me or other POC come around. There's no fitting rooms, they don't let you bring in any bags, and they're stingy with prices. I've only come here three times but each time the employees at the registers talk amongst each other the entire time and don't greet customers consistently. It is also CA law that any gift card under $10 in value can be cashed out but when I asked for the 5 cents I had left on the card to be cashed out, the young white female cashier kept telling me they don't do that... I told her it's 5 cents and California law. She still refused. Honestly better off finding better service and products from Buffalo Exchange. Disappointed at the lack of inclusivity and tolerance in this stores staff given the diverse area they are located in. read more

Woweeeeeeeeeee what a store !!!!! This place has such an amazing selection! Beautiful store, beautifully kind people in beautiful place! Daniel is amazing!! Dude has the vibes and cares for the store for real! Homie knows whats up! Thank you Daniel !! Thank you Bridge Thrift !!! Peace and Love read more

Was overcharged for a shirt and brought it back to get my money back and was told there was nothing they could do since it was a discounted item and a worker didn't cut off the normal priced tag. Someone didn't do their job correctly and I lost money because of it so I'm a bit disappointed. If you buy an outlet item just make sure someone doesn't overcharge you. read more

The staff is friendly. The prices are just okay, but there is a great return policy on clothes, electronics and appliances and they have a pretty good discount schedule on large furniture pieces that would otherwise be too expensive at their full tagged price. I'm giving it a 5 star review. I like it. The bride Thrift is pretty solid. read more

If prices close to brand new at the store is your jam, this spot is for you. Whoever is in charge of pricing is high on something! 9.99 for a used T-Shirt? DVD set inside the case for 29.99? It's like somebody is looking at eBay and saying yeah new ones sold for that so why don't we just try putting it up there. Oh here's the best part they'll have tags that say in two weeks it drops 25%, in three weeks it drops 50%, in four weeks drops 75%. I had my eye on an item and the next day it was supposed to go to 75% off. I went to the store the night before, was there at closing, and the item was still there. Went back in in the morning the next day and it's some how was sold. Gee I wonder who bought it? Probably the employee who over priced it so high that no one wanted to buy it at full price, quarter price, half price, etc. If I was the owners of this thrift shop, and that's a stretch, calling at the thrift, I'd take a hard look at whoever is doing their pricing model. The item should go out at half of what this person thinks that they should go out at. Some charity. read more

Made my way over to check out this store and look for some treasures! Everything was displayed so nicely and the lock ups had some nice collectibles to choose from. The store was tidy and that is the hardest part of running a thrift store! The presentation of things! To top it off, we got great customer service from Natalie and the crew! She kept things moving so our wait in line was short which I so appreciate! We will be making our way back to shop some more and say hello to Natalie! Come shop folks! read more

I love this place, you can find real treasures here. And it's better than the Goodwill next door because they are a local small business that gives back to the community. Special shoutout to Daniel who was super helpful on my last visit, great customer service. read more

This store was organized nicely & it was clean. Unfortunately the prices were a bit too high. For example, used faded glory (Walmart brand) t-shirts were $8.99-$9.99! I only found a tank top I liked but refused to pay $9.99 when I know I can go to Salvation Army & pay $2.99 for tank tops! read more

THIFT: Careful management, especially of money. Sadly, this place gets their pricing very wrong. Most of the other reviews about pricing are correct. I once inquired about it and they said "we're not trying to be the cheapest because we do a lot of good with our revenue." I'm a thrift store child and now I'm an adult of thrift stores. The one common business practice over all these years (not rocket science) is to not sell something for more than what it costs to buy brand new. That's the whole point of the word "thrift." I still poke my head in this place every now and then but the reality is there are so many other thrift stores that have much better deals. A brand new quicksilver T-shirt that cost $25 at a retail store and less at a Marshalls or TJMaxx should not sell for $18 preowned. Don't forget, everything in the store was donated which means it has a cost basis of zero. I will update this post if it needs to be. read more

I like this store and come here often but the items are a hit and miss usually miss I bought a electronic and it didn't work so I returned it in the return window and they gave me a gift card of 30$ to the store only and warned me the other electronics might not work because they aren't tested but the clothes are okay depending if you come when they restock and that's at random times the clothes are all around 10-15$ even if they have holes witch is a minus but a plus is that I found a lot of alternative clothing here if your into that sort of stuff read more

Business model is "price stuff higher than the thrift store 10 feet away" Some stuff is severely overpriced. Take for example trading cards, which they sell for heavily over market value. A bag of junk priced $16.99, preying on the fact that some people won't know they're wasting their money on common cards with some counterfeits thrown in. read more

Bought a few games there and opened them up at home and they were missing the main pieces. When I called she asked if it said anything on the tag like missing pieces I said no. She said "oh well it's buy at your own risk". Funny how she was trying to trick me to see if the tag said anything. I'm not going back to this store. It's over priced like no other. No dressing rooms. And much better places to shop at that are actually honest. If I could give this place zero stars I would. read more

At IKEA you can buy a set of 6 kid bowls for 2.49. At bridge thrift you can buy the same USED set for 12.00!!! What a bargain! Are they trying to be a boutique? All the kids clothes were so expensive too, little boys t-shirts 8.99- the same shirt NEW at target is 6.99. Kids clothes at thrift stores should always be lower. They need to do better research on new Items and mark their prices down! So ridiculous! Most thrifters avoid boutiques because getting a good deal is part of the experience. Bridge thrift also says they don't barter, but with unfair pricing and more then quadruple the price of newer items, they are losing customers. Goodwill will often change the price if you think it's unfair or inflated (which is most items these days to be honest) it's sad that you can't find thrift stores with good prices anymore. Please do this business a favor and don't shop here, or hopefully they see this page and respond with actual customer service... which is also lacking. Lost 1 customer- many more to come. read more

Another wonderful experience at bridge thrift today, talked to Natalie who was super friendly and had on an excellent fit!! Love this place :) read more

"Bridge"ing the gap between style... and fashion Went in looking for fall decour for my apartment. Pearce helped me out, what an excellent young man. Walked out with a smile on my chin. read more

I LOOOOOOOVE this store!!! The thrift gods are looking over this place for real. Pierce was sooo helpful and styled the most beautiful outfit for me. I bought it ALL! read more

All clothes are priced 60-75% higher than Goodwill, 100% higher than Salvation Army or Vincent DuPaul/Cerebral Palsy thrift stores. Store wad relatively clean, but on top of the already inflated prices, you will be charged sales tax. An inflated $12.99 pair of pants will become $14 and change. Discounts are only given to Military or Veterans - I wasn't offered a discount for student, senior, teacher/educator, or first responder. On top of this when I offered to pay cash $13 for the $12.99 pair of pants, the cashier rather curtly (could be constructed as pointedly or even slightly rude) responded "We don't BARTER". With lower priced options and greater selection nearby - coupled with with borderline stand-offish customer service, I won't be returning read more

amazing store! One of the workers named daniel was a great helper finding what i wanted. Will go again! Thanks!

Not sure what all the negative reviews are for. This is the perfect mid-range pricing, good quality thrift store. If you don't like the prices you can literally go next door, where stuff isn't as well organized and the staff is way less friendly and helpful. Daniel specifically was super helpful and pointed me to an AMAZING deal on some minis I wasn't expecting to find. Planning to donate next time I clean out my apartment! read more

Prices are astronomical! Absolutely Ridiculous for a thrift store. Go next door to Goodwill and the prices are half or less!

Bridge thrift is very organized, however, the prices just seem really high to me. It was clean though, that's a plus.

Bridge thrift is new to my area and I was excited to have a new place to thrift. However, I was very disappointed in the pricing. The items themselves are okay but the pricing is ridiculous. Some tags (such as Old Navy & Forever 21) are priced higher than what they were originally. The selection is vast but for those thrifters looking for a bargain (I assume most) there is a great Goodwill next door with fairer prices. read more

Pricey, but nice selection. Sometimes prices surpass retail pricing for new merchandise.

It's a hit or miss at this place. Most of the stuff are priced retail, but you can still find some stuff they might of overlooked.

This is my go to thrift store if I'm really needing new clothes! Their selection is always better than any other thrift stores in the area, better quality and more trendy selection! read more

Honestly, some okay stuff not great but okay, however the pricing is OUTRAGEOUS! I cannot believe how much they are asking for some items. I'm not sure who or how they decide their prices but honestly it's insane. read more
