I have found so many awesome clothing pieces here over the years at incredibly reasonable prices! The store is well-organized, making it easy to browse, and I love that they set up a few racks outside with even more items to look through. The staff are also so kind and welcoming. If you're looking for secondhand finds without breaking the bank, I definitely recommend stopping by! read more

Big space with good selection of clothing. Neatly organized racks. They are not overly stuffed so you can go through them. I went because of the funny reels I saw on IG but the staff members. Met Alma and Paul, managers of the store. I didn't find anything g I wanted but it's nice to go there to look around. read more

This is such a cute thrift shop in Altadena I went for the first time this week. It's in an old brick building and has two floors. The first floor is clothing and the second is home decor and other things. There was a decent selection of clothing, but not the largest selection. I found some nice New Balance shoes for $15, they look barely worn. They also have designer clothing sections. They had a tag sale $1 items and 50% off other items. I would def recommend stopping by when in Altadena, I will be back. Parking is free and there is a large lot which is nice. read more

I like donating my gently loved women's clothes here as Full Circle Thrift support the local community. Friendly staff, organized racks, men's section has nice selection, upstairs has fun home goods. A fun stop for sure. Driving up Lake to this thrift store is a humble reminder of the past fires affecting local neighbors in Altadena. read more

Excellent condition flannel shirt & snow/ski jacket Love the upstairs antiques and housewares area. Got a brand new w tags cast iron Abelskiver Pan $7 read more

So cool! Us three dropped in on vacation to find one special shopping spot spiced up to bursting on two floors, outdoors, and stuffed with mens, womens, and accessories. Prices seemed as fair as possible considering the surrounding real estate. I didn't manage to see much I needed however them two hauled back quite the selection. Staff had a pleasant vibe. It's some old atmosphere full factory barn place that needs its own indie film. read more

I really enjoyed my experience at Full Circle today. It reminded of the "good ol' days" when there was a difference between "second hand" and "thrifted goods" (the distinction being that thrifted implies carefully curated goods that smack of vintage nostalgia -- IMHO). I loved that the store is located in a creaky old building, Items (as previously implied) were carefully curated and organized by color and / or clothing type. As of this writing it dawned on me I didn't even make it into the mens' section :o to see what they had. It was very easy to become engrossed by the racks of clothes -- of which there were a decent amount. I came away with two decent finds: a shirt dress with skulls on it and a sweater dress that were well-priced. I will definitely make it a point to come back. Staff were really friendly, and ever so kind to gift my daughter with an unpriced tchotchke she found on the 2nd floor. read more

Well not sure what I expected, but what I can say is it is well staffed, smells unlike your typical thrift shop (very clean and fresh) plenty of staff and they are currently looking to hire (resume requested to work at the thrift shop) kind of interesting. ‍ The store is rather small and there were a few items I may have purchased, but when looking at the prices with all respect I've actually been looking for one of the items I found there and brand new was cheaper than used. So, deals.. I'm sure you may find one or two, but wasn't worth the drive up for me. Not a huge selection of stuff and houseware was even a smaller selection at a not so cheap price. Don't want it for free of course, but def not paying more for used than would be new. read more

Exceptionally maintained and stocked store. Well organized and lovely, helpful staff!!

Amazing finds and extremely friendly staff! Had a great shopping experience here! One of my favorite thrift shops

Full Circle Thrift is a small and affordable thrift shop nestled in Altadena. [Parking - 4-star]: I was surprised to discover that the thrift shop offers a free private parking lot right next to the building. Unfortunately, I only realized this after I had already found a street parking spot a block away. [Size - 4-star]: The thrift shop is divided into two floors, with the first floor dedicated to clothing and the second floor housing art and home decor items. While the overall size of the shop may be compact, it still manages to provide a decent variety of items to explore. [Selection & organization - 4.5-star]: During my visit in March 2023, the fitting room was unavailable. The store at Full Circle Thrift is commendably well-organized and I appreciated the effort put into curating the clothing selection with some appealing pieces during. It is evident that the staff at Full Circle Thrift invested considerable time and effort into meticulously arranging the home decor items on the second floor. Visitors will not find any big ticket items or appliances here. [Price & quality - 5-star]: The shop offers a range of competitive pricing compared to other thrift stores. Items with pink tags are offered at a 50% discount from the ticket price, while yellow tags are priced at $1 each. Books without price stickers can be purchased for $0.50 each for softcover books and $1 each for hardcover books. CDs are priced at $1, DVDs at $2, and VHS tapes at $0.50. Overall, I am a fan of Full Circle Thrift. It's a charming destination where you can find cute and vintage-looking attire.A solid 4.5-star. P.S. - Full Circle Thrift offers $20 for $30 purchasing credits via Yelp deal. read more

This used to be a great store, unfortunately is has gone downhill in the last year. There are no longer books, and only limited games and electronics. It is now mostly bric-a-brac and clothes which can be found at so many other stores. The building is still charming, but the inventory is not. Hopefully they will improve in the future. read more

Adorable thrift shop!! Love the church building look and it is huge inside. I also called ahead to see if they would accept my donations of non-working old phones and point and shoot cameras. The lady was super nice and was excited to see my donations and gladly accepted them all! I was happy to see my previously treasured items go to a happy home :0) There were a good amount of parking spots in the lot and street parking. I walked around and would def come back to shop! I also want to take my nieces cause the toys look really cool and affordable. read more

I was near by and I've been wanting to stop by here. There is plenty of parking. You enter on the side where there are racks of their 50% items. The clothing is organized by color. There's a section for designer items against the wall. The men's section and books/DVDs are to your left of the entrance. Upstairs you will find home decor and toys. Everything seemed to be decently priced and some still have tags on them. You can dry on the clothing which is nice as there is no return. read more

We visited from out of town and loved it! We found a variety of styles and sizes. Great jewelry selection. We will return next time we are in town read more

I always find something when I go in. Kind and friendly staff are always more than happy to help.

Many items are "not for sale - display" which is categorically absurd in a thrift shop. What is for sale is too expensive. It's a thrift shop for the love of god. read more

Laid out nicely, very organized (especially for a thrift store) but my absolute favorite is how they tag. So so easy to clip and not have to dig around hoping to find the other end. read more

Fantastic place. Staff is warm, but busy and helpful...Great items. My sis goes there all the time and has bought many high end items. They are open again since the fires. Located on Lake Blvd above the 210 Freeway. You can also earn discounts....Have a blast!!!! read more

Good news! They just reopened! Amazing stuff to buy! Such a fantastic staff! All clean and freshly painted!

Always a pleasant experience donating and shopping. Staff is always nice and helpful. Can't wait for them to reopen, they are sorely missed. Highly recommended! read more

Got a FANTASTIC black outfit for a formal affair - $15.00!! Dressing rooms available.

Came here on a Saturday and this place was PACKED! They had one cashier and about 10 ppl waiting in line. The building was cute and everything was pretty organized. The have a small parking lot on the side but I had to circle around to find a spot. Most things were in good condition and mostly smaller sizes, but that's thrifting. Here's where things get interesting, I managed to find a few things and went to try them on. I get into the fitting room and notice a camera right above me. See pic. I ended up trying everything on over my clothes. I'm not implying anything but I definitely didn't feel comfortable after that. This place is already too cool for school, lines are long, parking is tricky, and the fitting room camera makes this place a hard. read more

To those who are enjoying the thrift store, there is much more history about the building itself. No it wasn't a church. It was the Pacific Electric Railway transformer power station for the Mt Lowe Scenic Railway up into the mountains. It was built in 1905 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. So the next time you enter the building, look around, and imagine the working noise of generators at the turn of the century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Electric_Railway_Company_Substation_No._8 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Lowe_Railway http://www.erha.org/mtlowe.htm read more

This is just for me donating. I called prior to arriving as they were a very short drive from my home. The lady who answered was courteous and respectful and told me to just swing by! So, I did. I had several bags of donateable clothing. The only caveat was they didn't accept any children's clothing at the moment so that was a bummer. I should note to thoroughly read all of the notes on the door. They have A LOT of notes. There are a lot of things they don't accept at all or don't currently accept (electronics and cookware seem to be the big items right now). Also, ring the bell if there is any confusion and someone will come out to help. They don't fill out any forms for taxes but they do encourage you to take something so you can fill it out yourself. I haven't shopped inside here so I can't say anything about the quality of items. read more

I'll start by saying that this is the most aesthetically pleasing thrift store that I have ever been to. It's perfect and not super expensive. They have a good mix of quality items. Some items are even new. I'm ruining it for the loyal shoppers- the secret is out-Full Circle Thtift rocks. read more

Still amazing thrift store, it's just gorgeous and I didn't realize there was so much history behind the building. My main gripe is that I noticed they hiked up their pricing, and now everything seems to be considered boutique and marked up. (Related to clothing only) Do they still get good donations? Most definitely. Is it worth shopping here? Most definitely. Will I be shopping here as often? Not anymore. Very sad because the people running this place do seem to really care about their job and the community. Therefore I will continue to be a regular, however it went from one of my top thrift stores to not even the top 10 anymore. It's understandable, given that everything is inflated now and it's hard to get by for many people especially in California. However, pricing is a significant factor on how I chose where to shop, so to any bargain hunters I would urge to look elsewhere! (They do have good sales, always look at the racks outside) read more

Great thrift shop located inside and old church building. Their drop off is in the strip mall store front but the thrift store is in the larger bldg and has a large selection of women clothing, shoes and smaller area for mens stuff. Second floor is antiques, collectibles and furniture. Very friendly helpful staff. read more
