I always leave with something! The selection is pretty good and the prices are fair for the most part. Because this is a nonprofit, I don't mind spending a little more as I know it's going back to the community. The staff is very kind and I will keep I going back! read more

*Don't forget to use the $15 for $25 deal on Yelp!* Pretty cool thrift store with two floors of merchandise. A good amount of clothing to sift through downstairs. The upstairs is dedicated to home goods. Saw a couple attractive items (a few made somewhere other than the ubiquitous China). They also have a pretty large book section, next to the men's clothing (downstairs). Overall, a nice selection. Clean and organized as well. Easy parking in an adjacent lot. Friendly staff. read more

Cool stuff good prices. Great service it's a little bit of an upscale shop I would donate here and shop here again.

Cute little thrift store that I stumbled upon while in Pasadena. Has some good finds and the employees are incredibly friendly.

Beautiful view.. although when looking at bags I saw a bunch of ants and it kinda grossed me out cause they were in a cardboard box. Also.. As I'm walking around I noticed this Caucasian man being super rude to his employees. One of them seemed Hispanic and he rudely asked him for the restroom key since he has it. Seeing this made me a bit uncomfortable but I had to use the bathroom so I avoided him and asked another employee in the front and she's like "oh idk where the key is let me ask Paul" and he didn't answer her he just lifted the key in the air, THATS A SCREW DRIVER! So she pointed to Paul and I walked to him and he hands it to me and I'm confused obviously and I'm like "oh this is the key?" And he's like "(other employee) give her instructions" in a rude tone without even acknowledging me and making me feel dumb and the other employee noticed I was about to say something so she was nice and walked me to the bathroom and gave me Some help. I decided not to say anything because maybe he was having a bad day but after reading reviews this is not the first time he's mistreated a client. I'm glad I didn't get anything from here because he lacks customer service, especially as a manager. read more

first time here and easily spent 2 hours just browsing around. ended up with a cute planter and 3 pairs of earring. everything is very organized and tidy. prices are VERY reasonable AND they have discount for certain color tags. staff are friendly. will definitely come back for more treasure hunt! read more

Clean and well organized by color. Was able to find a few things here. Hope to return when I'm back in town. They do have dressing rooms and restrooms. read more

Great selection of everything Very organized Lots to choose from Beautiful store Would go back read more

I was not impressed with the customer service at all. If you want to be discriminated & ignored then you'll love this place no doubt. For me it was a 0/10. First of all we don't get greeted when we walk in even though I said hi to the two employees in the door way. One being a man with glasses who seemed to be the manager. We browse for about 30 mins. While we're browsing my mom spots some glasses she was interested in asked the man who didn't greet us previously for a discount he says no. No prob she was going to buy them anyways. So after browsing some more we decided to make our way to front to check out. While we're waiting this man is speaking to the customer who is checking out & being very talkative very friendly pretty much the opposite of what me and my mom received. Finally it's my moms turn & she placed a container that she wanted to buy by the register & proceeded to ask for the glasses she was interested in. The man just basically tells her what glasses? Even though he's the one who told her she couldn't get a discount on them. Anyways she tells him which ones & without saying another word he goes to this door/office on the side of the register & brings out the glasses. We didn't understand why he would take the glasses to the office. If he would have came back without the glasses & said someone else put them on hold & not sold them to her then that would of made sense but no he didn't explain anything & just proceeded with the transaction In silence. So after that my mom grabs her glasses & her container & waits for me by the entrance to the store which is basically where you check out. I walk up to the register to be check out by this man & the phone rings the man answers and walks away. Not telling me that someone else is going to check me out or even say excuse me. Then some random employee jumps in to check me out. Then the man with the glasses comes back from his phone call while I'm paying for my Items & tells my mom whose waiting for me this "Ma'am you didn't purchase that" pointing at the container. My mom is shocked so am I because he finally decides to speak to us & he's accusing my mom of stealing a $3 container after she just purchased $50 vintage glasses. My mom respondes & I respond as well saying that she did & he continues to say it's fine you can keep it & walks off. Didn't say sorry didn't say anything just walks away after he had embarrassed her. I never make reviews especially lengthy ones like this but I don't stand for discrimination on people of color / different race. That's exactly what I experienced when visiting full circle thrift. Never again 0/10 read more

I went the other day and was very pleased with my overall experience! I went right when they opened and there weren't very many people until around noon. Their men's section is only a couple of racks in a small room but besides that they have a good selection of clothes for a fair price (although you have to do some digging). They share a parking lot with other businesses but it wasn't an issue. The employees were also super friendly! For COVID, masks are required, fitting rooms are closed, and they have hand sanitizer for you at the door. I've added some pictures of some gems, for shits n giggles. read more

Used to love it and go frequently, but the prices have seemingly DOUBLED in the past few months. Especially for designer things. Was nice to feel like you could afford really nice things at this place; the items are DONATED and it feels very rude to be doubling prices out of nowhere. I get the feeling their mentality is probably, "We do it because we can", aka greed. A massive bummer. read more

Some great finds, good music plays often and lovely staff. Can't get enough of this thrifty shop. Thanks

Always has fresh new additions. Reasonably priced. And their color tag sales help you find awesome deals! Staff friendly and near old building in Altadena. Bring your own bag or extra plastic bags if ya got 'em! They'll reuse for future shoppers. Made me feel like I was shopping a thrift store back in the day -- love that! read more

This place is funny- as far as household/decor items go the only good items are all marked "not for sale" and the rest is either overpriced or junk you can find at the dollar store: read more

BEST THRIFT STORE!! i'm rarely in the area but whenever I am, I go to this thrift store. i am an experienced thrifter and this is my all time favorite store! super good prices (items are usually $10 or less), timeless and gorgeous pieces-- both clothing and household items-- a diverse selection, and fantastic staff. also the atmosphere is amazing, the building is very cool! i always walk out with something here. they also have dressing rooms and baskets to put your items in while you shop! highly highly recommend this thrift store!! read more

Definitely a fun place to thrift, I picked up some treasures I can't wait to go back!

I love finding new thrift shops and this one is one i'll definitely be visiting again. Had a great variety of women clothing and shoes l as for men they didn't have much. I found some cute tops and skirts. They also carry designer items but are priced on the higher end. This shop was also well organized. read more

Great store, fun just entering such a history setting to browse around for something vintage. Lots of clothes, I found a great shirt for $7. This is more inline with what my girlfriend would like, I'll bring her to check it out soon when I come back! read more

What a great thrift store! Let's start by how cool the location is, it's located in a small plaza with a hand full of other services, there is tons of parking. The building reminded me of an older church or something to that matter lol Right out front they have signage that shows you what deals they are having, walking into the place I was actually excited to see such a clean and well organized store. I was immediately greeted by a nice gentleman, I asked him where I could find any men's stuff i.e. Tanks and shorts and he guided me to the right direction, he pointed to the upstairs. I was glad I asked for helped because I would of never guessed there was an upstairs for customers to continue shopping. They have tons of great things, lots of them looked in great condition and vintage items. I will defiantly be back to do some bargain shopping :) Have Fun! Ohhh and if you are looking to donate they have a drop off location just out front, right across the way. read more

I went here for the first time and found great stuff! It's small, but they make up for the cool finds.

Found some quality clothes here. Everything was also well organized which made it so easy to find just what I was looking for.

Love this spot. We discovered this shop about 5 years ago. We've always been a thrifting family, so finding this clean, family friendly, well laid out shop was a boon for us all. My little one could always find a toy, my daughter lives to find a clothing gem, my husband finds the coolest random stuff (like a clay topper for a hookah) and me... I love the puzzle selection. They have a credit system where they keep track of how much you spend via your phone number, and give you a $5 in store credit after a certain amount. Not sure what amount it is, but we usually have the $5 credit every 2 or 3 visits. read more

Esthetically pleasing, well organized, nice little thrift shop. We are avid thrift shoppers from out of town and we were excited to try this place. Plenty of parking in the lot. Love the exterior brick building. All of the clothing, accessories, books and albums were well placed and reasonably priced. And on top of that it was the Thursday "happy hour" where everything was 50% off. A very nice lady checked us out and had a conversation with my son who has visited thrift shops around the world. It's nice that they take the time to chat with customers. Plus the most adorable little Toto dog hanging out in the store! We will definitely be back next time we are in town. read more

Pretty good thrift store in Altadena! Definitely heavy in the clothes department if you're into shopping second hand for clothing. This shop is in a gorgeous old building on Lake Ave and has two floors, the first made up almost entirely of clothes. The second floor is full of home stuff, art, and right now, Halloween costumes. The home goods section is mostly small stuff--kitchen items, craft supplies, knick knacks, and the like. I've been here twice and have never found anything I needed, but the prices are right and the staff is friendly. It's worth noting that they have almost no furniture or bigger pieces in case that's what you're shopping for. Regarding COVID protocols, masks were enforced and the shop wasn't busy so distancing was easy. Not sure if they're limiting capacity when it does get busy, but I tend to not even stop if I see a line. There's a parking lot that's shared with a few businesses, plus street parking is typically pretty easy in Altadena. They seemed to be doing a food drive for Friends in Deed while I was there which is super cool. If you're coming from a little further away, definitely stop at Cafe de Leche (https://www.yelp.com/biz/caf%C3%A9-de-leche-altadena-2) afterwards for a coffee to go! read more

Super cute place! Well organized with some good sale prices items. I got an Everlane sweater for $5! The racks outside are my favorite spot

My fave thrift store in Pasadena!! They've got some great pieces for the best prices. The layout, decor, atmosphere here is a vibe. read more

*Currently closed for fumigation* this is the second time in the past few years. Pre pandemic it was also closed for fumigation.

Hi my name is Henry! I have frequent Full Circle for the last four or five years. The atmosphere is right. The people is right. The prices on their pieces is right, and their customer service (which inspired me right this review), is excellent! Thank you Paul for treating me with respect and dignity. read more

The lady that helped me was very polite and grateful for my donations. I previously would dintE at the Goodwill on Lake but when I went there I was rudely told they don't take any more donations. I will continue to donate at Full Circle from now on! read more

The staff is great and kind. I used to come here frequently for good deals. Lately, the prices have been insanely priced. 50$-600$ for donated items! All items are donations, and prices are around retail value if not more. It's really disappointing, especially when shoppers who are low-income come to get clothing. I'm not sure I'll be back. I hope management realizes the prices are unfair and not helpful to the community. :/ read more

This thrift store is a great hidden gem. It's located up Lake Ave away from city. It's in Altadena and has so much charm! First thing you will notice will be the old building that looks like an old church. They have a hug parking lot with plenty of spaces available. They also often have a sign out near the entrance letting you know what deals they have for the day. Yes they have sales! Not only is this thrift store priced fairly but it also has weekly discounts of up to 75%off. The store itself is clean and well organized. They have so many neat finds too! I really enjoy their fair trade section! And they have so many neat art pieces as well! Overall this place is a oasis for thrifty people :) They also have fitting rooms! Oh and the service is always top notch too Tiffany is a sweetheart and she has such great taste too! read more

I found this place on a whim. And I'm so glad I did. They had racks of special priced clothing before you even got into the store. My arms were already full. Once you walk in... it's magical . This is definitely going to be added to my list of go to places. read more

Great vibe but for true thrifting-just Okay. A bit higher prices but good finds! Nice bathroom.

This is my favorite thrift store. Great inventory, well organized and displayed, great prices and good sales, a place to try on clothes. The upstairs is Altadena's best kept secret where you can buy anything from brand new Turkish towels, to antique silver plated serving ware for insanely low prices. I don't think I've ever walked out of here empty handed. read more

Bad thrift store with run down clothing priced high. Nothing that is ever exciting or fun to find.

Such a great shop!!! In an adorable old school brick building, Full Circle Thrift is one of the last thrift shops that maintains thrift shop pricing. The shop is clean, has lots of goodies to peruse (heavy on clothing, but the second floor is home goods, dishes, and more). They also have a small designer brand rack with some great finds at reasonable prices as well. read more

It's MUCH larger from the outside. Rather small on the inside. And I don't know what is up, but when you walk in the front it smells like nasty old gym sweat smell. Maybe it's mildew that everyone is getting to inhale but it's pretty disgusting. Also the upstairs area near the glassware smelled the same. Ehhhhh Wasn't a lot of selection for the size of the building. read more

super fun shopping experience! the store is well organized, folks working there are kind and the prices + selection are unmatched! Also, love that parking is so easy!! read more
