Shop local... shop at On Centre!!…read more On Centre carries the cutest clothes, greeting cards, gifts, plushies, accessories, and so much more. As someone who despises Amazon and big corporations, I love to support On Centre for my shopping needs. I'm very tempted to buy all the cute Jellycat plushies when I'm inside. Their staff is very helpful and friendly. Be sure to sign up for their rewards program - they email offers and a special gift for your birthday.

I have always liked hats, but it is impossible to find a store that sells men's hats that are not…read morebaseball caps or kangols . This store has an enormous selection of hats for men and women. They have Panama hats and fedora's and bowler to top hats. They also have a great selection for women. The people are wonderful. They take hats very seriously but in a very fun way. I was looking at a Panama and Jessen suggested a hat that was sturdier and it was a lot less money. He measured my head and they have this machine that helps to mold the hat to your head. The energy is great. A young mom went into the store with her 4 year old daughter they let her try on hats and she walkede the floor like she was on the runway. They also sell jewelry ties and other treasures. I have never had so much fun buying clothes.

Salmagundi is, hands down, the finest hat shop I've ever set foot in -- and I say that as someone…read morewho has spent the last 40 years frequenting some of the best haberdasheries in New York City. I visited the Jamaica Plain shop today with my brother, on what happened to be the 27th anniversary of my father's passing. What could have been a heavy, emotional day was transformed into something unexpectedly meaningful, thanks in large part to the experience I had with Jessen. He spent well over an hour with me, patiently walking through countless combinations of styles, shapes, and colors -- not rushing, not upselling, just exploring what really worked. He was thoughtful, kind, and extraordinarily knowledgeable, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed the process of helping me find the right hat. That enthusiasm was contagious; time absolutely flew by. I left with a beautiful hat and a matching scarf, each with its own story -- down to where the wool came from and how it was made. That level of care and passion isn't something you can fake. It's obvious that Jessen and Andria care deeply about their craft, their customers, and the experience they create in the shop. This was, without question, the best experience I've ever had in a hat store. The selection is fantastic, but it's the heart, expertise, and hospitality that make Salmagundi truly special. If you're anywhere near Boston and even thinking about a hat, do yourself a favor and go see Andria and Jessen. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Me and my friends were searching through the clothing and making sure to fold everything back up once we were done and the owner came over to us and made a few comments about us making a mess and then was watching over our shoulders the whole time. In my very personal opinion if you want someone to buy something from you maybe don't be so demeaning to them

Aside from the rather ridiculous security at this place, I had a decent time shopping here and…read morescored three cute new skirts for $12.99 each. Woot! I was a little put off that when I entered the store I had to surrender my gym bag and a bag of groceries to the security guard at the front. He said that I could hang on to my purse, even though it was rather large. Of course, I am going to hang on to my purse! It's my purse, dude! I am not giving it to some random person in a store! This store is pretty much your typical Rainbow, but a bit smaller than other locations. They have a small junior's section and a small plus size section, but most of the store is regular sizes. There is also a minimal shoe selection and some accessories. I wanted to try on six items, but I was told by the lady at the dressing room door that I could only take in three items at a time. Oh my! They must have serious problems with people shoplifting or something. Extreme. It was kind of inconvenient to try on three items, get dressed again, then go out and get three more, but for the prices at this place, I really can't complain too much. Will definitely be back for more deals!

First time at this Goodwill location. I've been to several Goodwills before and have always had a…read morepretty positive experience, but unfortunately this location wasn't the same for me. The biggest issue is the parking. Since it's in a downtown area, parking is very limited. There are maybe three spots right in front, but they're only 30-minute spots. There are a few spots across the street that are limited to one hour, and there are also a lot of resident-only/permit parking areas. Be prepared to park further away and walk. Inside, they have set prices by category, so for example all shorts are one price, all dresses are another, etc. They do have a color of the week that's 50% off, which is nice, but I honestly didn't find much worth buying. I mostly thrift for children's clothes, and they really didn't have much for younger kids. Most of the children's clothing I saw was around size 6 and up, so if you're specifically looking for toddler clothes, I probably wouldn't make a special trip here. I also felt like the prices were on the higher end. I'm guessing that's partly because it's technically in the Boston area, but for the prices, I expected the quality to be a little better. There wasn't really anything that stood out as a great find or what I would consider a good thrift deal. I ended up leaving with nothing. Definitely not my favorite Goodwill that I've been to, but it may be worth checking out if you're already in the area.

However, the parking in front is loading only for commercial trucks like FedEx. Which is not at all clear, especially if you are from out of town.
