    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.

    Most thrift stores are unorganized and kind messy BUT this one was the total Opposite. They also have fitting rooms. I like how they have divided sections like women, men, and house items upstairs.

    My favorite thrift store ever!! So glad to see them reopened with such a kind community. This hidden gem is located in a beautiful brick building, with the best thrift finds. Love their glassware and home goods upstairs! Please go shop and support

    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.

    Cool thrift store in a historic two-story building. Nice layout with good organization. Friendly staff who seemed very engaged chatting with one another. Free parking with lots of spaces. Restroom for customers.

    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.

    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.

    Date of visit: December 5, 2025…read more Selections: 1 Thick Book Experience: Was looking at my long list of places I want to go to and this was just 5 minutes away from where I was at (Home Goods down the street). So I booked it over here to check it out. Books were conveniently located right by the door, so I browsed my way through them before tackling the rest of the store. They had their Christmas items displayed by the door and near the cashier as well and then the rest of the store had mostly furniture and household items with a boutique in the back and other clothes items. Not really my kind of thrift store since it felt like they had really nicer, higher quality items that you wouldn't find at a Goodwill, which isn't a bad thing. I was just surprised that they didn't take cash since I usually encounter cash only places here and there, but not strictly card only. Glad I got to check this off of my list of places to go.

    There is a wide array of furniture, especially antique (not really MCM - more like the very old…read moreantique styles.) It's an organized store, which is really the only plus. There is usually a small selection of St. John knits in the back, but ultimately this store lacks in style and customer service. The blond lady, in particular (didn't catch her name) was quite rude and employees in general do not greet you or really offer any semblance of customer service. There are a multitude of second hand stores in the area with greater selection and much better customer service

Just like the Bargain Box and Huntington Collection, I can't call the Treasure Fair a thrift shop since it's not like a typical thrift shop, but more like second-hand boutique. You can tell that the volunteers take the time to highlight the quality of the available merchandise, especially the housewares and decor. It's very evident that all of the treasures for sale were meticulously cleaned and staged by the hardworking staff. There's also a pretty good selection of clothing for all ages. The Treasure Fair is a nonprofit managed by the Assistance League of Pasadena, and one of their worthy endeavors is Operation School Bell, which provides much needed clothing as well as school supplies such as backpacks and books to children in need in neighboring local schools. There's a very small parking lot but there should be plenty of street parking available if needed. Also, be aware that the store has limited hours since it's managed by volunteers. It's only open four days a week, Wednesdays thru Saturdays, from 11am to 2pm. Plan to check out The Treasure Fair to give much needed treasures a new. home.
