I particularly enjoy the baseball (specifically Padres) memorabilia. I really like the old beer signs and such. I'm not well versed in the world of antiques as far as what something's worth or value is. Therefore, I'm not sure if the prices are any better or worse compared to similar inventory at other stores. That said, an old Schaffer beer tin sign for $85 seemed a bit steep. It is fun to walk around and look at all the old stuff. You just might come across that perfect "thing".

They have almost anything you might look for at an antique store or estate sale. Many decorative rugs, books, furniture, lots of media. Just an amazing place to shop. Some of the shops have new products like watches and clothing, but it is a great adventure to just wander through the tight maze of places. Look for sales, and take pictures of the offers to take to the register. You will turn your head or turn a corner and see many eye catching items. Pricing varies from bargains to overpriced, depending on the booth. Great place to explore.

This place is a JOKE! I had two items on consignment. They sold both items rather quickly. We…read morerecieved one check for the lower priced item and was told they will send the check for the other item the following month. That time has come and gone. I've called multiple times only to get the runaround. I tried calling to talk to the person in charge only to be told "no". Araceli was the last person I talked to. Very rude and unprofessional. She called my wife back and inform her that a check might be ready to pick up but she needs to call after 1pm before she gets there. My wife asked the name of the owner of the business. Araceli told her that "it doesn't matter" and refused to disclose the name. We will update this post to let all know if we received the check or not. They refuse to provide proof of what the item sold for it for.

The cool about this place is it displays many different vendors in one spot. Which I did not realize before I went here. Each vendors have their own booth/area and they decorate their own vibe and style based on what they're selling. I saw many different items that you can find here in one place. Especially for collector item as well. They had items for people who love baseball, Christmas, Goth, French style, bohemian, 90s. Etc. it's honestly never ending. I was able to find a few different items for my house and for my own collection. I thought the price were fair. And they also offer changing rooms if you wanted to try on some of their clothes. There were some displays that needed keys to get in, which was very easy to get someone to help you to open those cases. The lady in the front who checked me out was very friendly. This place was genuinely a great surprise, and I will definitely be back some other time.

They had a lot of really cool stuff but I had an uncomfortable first experience. While I was…read morebrowsing, an employee followed me around the store, which made me feel uncomfortable. When I asked if you accepted credit cards, I was told the card would have to be verified by contacting the credit card company. I asked if this was done for everyone, and I was told yes. However, after reading other reviews and the owner's responses, it seems different customers are given different explanations of the verification process, which makes the policy seem inconsistent. Honestly, I only bought a $5 pair of earrings with cash, but I had planned on coming back to shop for more. Instead, I left wondering: at what purchase amount does this verification happen? Is it for every credit card transaction, or only certain customers? I wasn't expecting a simple question about payment methods to turn into a discussion about verifying my identity. The whole interaction left me feeling unwelcome, and I hope whatever policy is in place is applied consistently to every customer.

An outside banner states this shop as the 'Best' antique shop in San Diego, it's debatable...Je ne said pas! This shop located on Newport Ave., has been here since 1995, however it was my first visit after leaving the sourdough shop across the street. Limited street parking. I've walked pass this shop many times, but today what caught my attention were the vignettes of Christmas decor. I enjoyed strolling through many different decor all unique and some captured the french flair. While there's some vintage antique furniture collection, I wasn't really interested in going over their inventory, perhaps another time and when I can walk through isles and see more details. Sadly, no staffer greeted Me or offered to help :( Some items were labeled with price, and those that were seems reasonably priced. For now, my pup Fendi and I were amused by the holiday decor which was primarily towards the front of the store. Whether you're in the market for vintage antique collectibles or just browsing, this shop's vignettes might inspire you, worthwhile visit.

Clothes = $4 yes, ALL adult clothes are $4 (some special items may be higher, like the $30 wedding dress...) Plants = yes, this thrift also sources AMAZING plants to sell and they pair it with follow up care / advice, so if you get it home and forget how to care for it, send a message and they'll happily help. Trinkets, treasures, small household items, shoes in REALLY great condition? Yep, they've got all that! Fun events? That too! Plant Bingo and propagation swaps to name a few. Hannah and Hanna are amazing.

The team is so delightful, uplifting and the place is a total vibe. The owners engaged with each person on some level or another and were super friendly (not the fake kind). They knew so much about plants, and as a plant girlie myself, I was diggin' it. They are all about community and care about what they put out to sell. Honest Thrift has options for everyone. Trinkets, clothes, shoes, plants, music, art etc. The pricing is affordable and fair, and their plant selection is beautiful and properly priced for a boutique style premium selection of plants of very well maintained and cared for. Heck, what you save on buying clothes for $4, splurge on your plant. If I didn't have nearly 100 plants in my own house and own my own plant business, I'd get mine from here. Do know, I'll buy cutesy things for my home and gifts for others.

I've driven by here 20 or 30 times and from the street views, it looks big- up until the point that you step through the doors and see how DEEP it goes.

If you're a person who likes antique hunting, take an hour to come down to the Barrio, get some lunch at one of the great restaurants in the area, and then swing by here to do a deep-dive.

I LOVE antique stores, but lately I feel like most "vintage" shops are just the same recycled farmhouse signs, rusty spoons, and somebody's grandma's abandoned Hobby Lobby décor. This is the first store in a LONG time that actually lived up to the name: VERY antique and VERY unique. I found this place scrolling TikTok and showed up at 12:50 like a girlie preparing for battle because I wanted to be there the exact second the doors opened. The second that garage door rolled up, I swear I heard angels singing. I was immediately greeted by incredible pieces and the equally incredible owner, Paul. Paul was super kind right off the bat and explained the history and selection of items in the shop. After that, I wandered around the store basically gasping every five seconds like a Victorian child seeing electricity for the first time. Everywhere I looked there was something weird, rare, beautiful, or slightly concerning in the best possible way. Exactly the way antiquing should be. I've seen some reviews mention pricing, but honestly after visiting other "vintage" stores charging $85 for dusty Target-core nonsense, the pricing here felt fair -- especially considering I had never seen HALF of these items anywhere before. This is not one of those copy-paste antique malls full of live laugh love relics and chipped mugs. This place has REAL finds. Please keep in mind: antiquing is NOT thrifting. Do not expect things to be cheap. Paul clearly puts real effort into sourcing and handpicking these items, and you can tell he genuinely loves what he does. He's incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and honestly I could've spent hours there. If I lived here, this would become a weekly financial mistake for me very quickly. He also posts items consistently on eBay if you can't make it into the store, which is dangerous information for my wallet but great information for everyone else.
