I especially love browsing the glass cabinets with jewelry--there's always something interesting to discover. The staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming, which adds to the calm and relaxed atmosphere inside. It's well lit and easy to navigate, making it a comfortable place to spend time hunting for gems. Prices are very fair, and I almost always leave with something useful or special. Parking is super convenient with free street parking right out front. This place is a solid win every time I stop by. Highly recommend if you're in the area and love a good thrift find.

There is ample parking in the small shopping center and the donation drop off is in the back/off to the side. While I didn't use the donation center, the employees seemed very friendly and helpful and were greeting and helping all donators. They went out of their way to bring the donation cart to the cars to make the transaction as easy as possible. Will return when in the area.

I have shopped -and donated- at this GW location for about 15 years, visiting at least every few…read moremonths and I'm pretty much done with shopping or donating there in the future. The experienced has degraded to the point that it's become pointless to visit. The pricing has increased but more remarkably, the quality of items has been significantly reduced, with most of what I see on the shelves and racks being a lot of overpriced crap and ugly clothes. I read on sfgate.com in an article dated March 18, 2026: (Why Bay Area Goodwills are sending truckloads or clothes to Arizona) that a national Goodwill organization took over our Bay Area regional organization so stores are now being run by a Arizona- Maryland multi-state organization. (Some regional Goodwill's are still run independently/locally like the Silicon chapter). While GW has for years sent all local donations to sorting locations local then sent tagged inventory to locations to put on shelves, I suspect that they are now skimming most name-brand and 'like new' goods to sell online and sell in other regions rather than stocking our local stores. One of the regular shoppers at the Fillmore location was quoted that they have noticed that the quality of their location's offerings has been so degraded so much they no longer bother to visit the store, despite previously visiting weekly for years. Thrifting has changed a lot over the past decade, especially due to the number of 'resellers' who buy items to stock 'vintage shops' or sell on EBay, but lately it's lost pretty much all of the appeal to thrift, especially at Goodwill. It's unlikely that I'll continue donating to Good Will in the future and instead will direct my donations to local charity shops where the goods will be more likely to benefit my own community, rather than supporting a huge organization from out of state.

I can't afford this place! They rarely have sales either? I understand it's for a good cause, but…read more$18.00 for a shirt I saw at Ross for $10.00. A lot of people shop at thrift stores because we can't afford new stores. The set up is nice, but everything is overpriced. It also seems you sell fake jewelry for $9.00! You should have buy two, get one free, or lower your prices. I leave empty handed every time I go in. We're all trying to survive and times are tough for a lot of people right now.

Sentimental Journey may be the best-kept secret in Marin County, hiding in plain sight in downtown…read moreNovato. We go in intending to have a quick look. This is usually a mistake. It's a wonderful jumble of little dealer spaces absolutely stacked with stuff. Most of it isn't my thing, which is actually part of the fun. I'm not looking for an antique. I wander around until something jumps out at me and says, "TAKE ME HOME." Every time I've answered the call, we've ended up with something that has become a family heirloom. The prices are remarkably reasonable, especially for Marin. There are currently two lamps I've been keeping an eye on that are a little more dinero than I want to spend right now. If they're still there next month, however, we may need to have a conversation. What I especially love is the complete absence of sales pressure. The people behind the counter have always been genuinely kind. Nobody follows you around, nobody tries to sell you something, and nobody seems remotely bothered if you spend ages looking and leave empty-handed. They just let you linger and discover things. Half the time we find something wonderful that we absolutely HAVE TO TAKE HOME. And half the time we don't. Either way, we leave saying some version of the same thing: "How is THIS in Marin?" If you like old things, strange things, beautiful things, things you didn't know you needed until five seconds ago--or just the pleasure of poking around without anyone trying to separate you from your wallet--go have a look. Just don't blame me when something chooses you.
