Treasure City Thrift recently moved into my neighborhood, so I finally stopped in to see what it…read morewas all about. On my first visit, I noticed they had a nice mix of clothing, shoes, glassware, and home décor, so I came back this weekend hoping to browse the clothing racks. I struck out on clothes this time around--not because they didn't have any, just because nothing in my size was quite my style, condition, or price point. That's thrifting, though. You never know what you're going to find, and sometimes the best score is in a completely different aisle. In my case, I walked out with a pair of vintage shoes in excellent condition for only $5, plus several beautiful glass pieces for next to nothing. I'd call that a successful trip! When I drove by on Sunday, they had boxes and boxes of free items out front with people happily digging through them. It was way too hot for me to join the hunt, but once the Texas weather cools off, I definitely will. This feels like one of those thrift stores that's worth stopping into regularly because the inventory is always changing, and you never know what treasure you'll find next.

BUT the staff is always friendly, there is plenty to browse through, the aisles and merchandise have always been organized and clean when I go, and the pricing is definitely good.

Typically there are sales on certain items so make sure you pay attention to that to get more bang for your buck. On my most recent trip here, I bought 3 items and spent less than $20.

It's also been sitting in my draft reviews for quite awhile (for those of you tracking). Started coming here a couple of years ago, around 2023 and just love it. It's a smaller store but they have lots of well-curated pieces and a really good selection of formal wear, dresses, skirts, jewelry, etc. I was prompted to take care of this draft review and a few others today because of a dress in the window here. A friend was recently in town visiting and asked that I go back and get a picture of the dress in the window. She is thinking about purchasing it (or having me purchase it and send it to her lol). Anyway, here's something to know: items displayed in the window have waitlists for folks intersting in purchasing. Anytime I have been in the shop, including today, service is friendly and helpful. The store is clean and the vintage pieces they carry are in pristine condition. You know what I like to say at this point-shop local, support small businesses!

Interestingly, the store combines vintage items with some modern items. For example, socks, some jewelry and sunglasses are non-vintage. While the store is small, it is easy to browse. In addition, clothing and shoe items are spaced apart where you can easily view them and ferret through the racks. The value of items are reasonably priced and some items as low as $5. I did not find anything I could not live without, however, I will definitely pop in from time to time. Also, there is a fair amount of free parking. The store manager was super helpful and personable.

So I'll instead focus on my buying experience. This shop is well organized by size and style of clothing which makes it easy to find what you need. There are a few changing rooms (wish the mirrors were higher quality) so you can see what fits you best. They have promotions time to time based on colors so make sure ot ask about that. I found a high end tommy knitted sweater for like $14 when I personally knew it retailed for $250+ so I made sure to play it cool lol.

We were nearby having lunch and walked over and it's still there! Tons of beautiful crystals and I was able to get a Rose quartz and two smokey quartz towers - all really good quality for insanely good prices. They have some great vintage clothing inside and some cute accessories and fun items. Great location near to some other cool shops and finds and Hillside Pharmacy for fabulous bites. Super friendly staff who wrapped my gems up with love and care for the trip back to VA. A+

Charm School Vintage is one of my favorite stores in our neighborhood…read more They've carefully curated vintage pieces with western flair (clothing, jewelry, etc). In addition, you'll be able to find items from various eras as far back as the 30s through the 70s. I've seen some stuff there even older than the 30s. Everything is of exceptional quality and condition. Not only do they sell but they buy as well. If you've got vintage wear you'd like to get rid of, try them. They give cash or credit for things they'll buy from folks. As with most stores like this, you'll get more in store credit for your stuff. Fun fact: they've also got a location in Waco.

There can be decent finds (though my most recent purchase was a toy with a corroded battery compartment and another missing a piece so that's a bummer), and there can be great prices depending on the day. There can also be outrageous prices for things! But still, a good place to hunt a find. However, things have really shifted for the worse lately. There is lots more furniture, but prices are WILD for what it is. There are many people hanging around changing in the center of walkways or sitting around with their dogs and cats not shopping. And inventory definitely isn't what it used to be-- lots of broken things or stinky items. The worst though lately was an EMPLOYEE who shushed my baby like 4 times for screeching (like babies do) when he got excited and then told me "he's so annoying. Make him be quiet." Can I say inappropriate? Also, like you are 80, did you not have kids or experience them? Girl. Your attitude needs to go in the donation bin. Jeez. It takes the same effort to be kind especially when I'm already wrangling him and another. I told one of the other workers up front kindly that it felt inappropriate and she literally laughed at me and kept ringing me up. Whew. Anyways, that makes me definitely not want to take the extra trip! I still think there can be good finds and appreciate what they are doing in part for the community, but I won't be making the effort to support or recommend it anymore. I sure hope it changes in the future! We really used to love going there!

This…read morereview is a long time coming as I have many draft reviews that I am still working on getting posted. As the mother of a rescue dog who was going to be euthanized, I am 100% behind everything this thrift store stands for. In fact, every 6 months when I overhaul my closet, I donate A LOT of clothing, shoes, and accessories to the store in support of the cause. I also like to swing by as part of my North Loop jaunt (every few months, hit up North Loop stores and pubs---to include APA!) to make purchases. Found quite a few cute things here over the years not only for myself but friends and family. They've got an amazing selection of items and each time I pop in they seem to have loads more. Support this local shop in saving animal lives. Trust me, you will find something to buy!

My collection has dwindled over the years through breakage. So I was thrifting looking for pink depression glass. The Burnet Road location is large, well organized with two-stories of items. It is filled with just about anything that you can imagine. Clothing...they have it! Shoes...they have it! Vintage items...they have it! Kitchen and house wears...they have it! Unfortunately, no pink depression glass. I will definitely return to thrift here due to their large selection of things. In addition, their prices are very reasonable. First stop Austin Pets Alive! - Burnet. I learned that all net sale proceeds go directly to support Austin Pets Alive!'s lifesaving programs for animals most at risk. Their clear mission is saving animals' lives, which is so heartwarming. According to staff, Austin Pets Alive! is known for pioneering innovative programs that help keep pets out of euthanasia and place them into loving homes. The Burnet Road location plays a critical role in sustaining those efforts by serving as a critical funding source for the organization's work across Central Texas.

Anyway, I love Room Service and have been coming here for years. Long before I relocated to Austin from the East Coast. It's part of my North Loop Jaunt where I hit up all my fave places in the neighborhood every few months or so. Prior to relocating, I'd visit Austin twice a year and always made time to stop in. This is one of the most inspiring and well laid out vintage stores ever. You can just get lost for hours. So many ideas for home decor and styling. They've always got a grand selection of MCM (Mid-Century Modern) furniture and accessories. My house is 99% MCM. They've really just got the best collection of everything. Trinkets, knickknacks, patches, light fixtures, dishes, mirrors, art, clothing, records, jewelry...you get my drift. Service is so super friendly and welcoming. I am particularly fond of the pro-trans sign in the entrance window!! Everything they carry is in very good to pristine condition and pricing is reflective. With that said, the prices are extremely fair. I can't recommend Room Service enough. Support local. Support small business. Sustainability. Be creative.

I've been going to this place long enough to write a fair review. First off, I will say this is my…read moreabsolute favorite Thrift store in Austin. There are so many thrift stores out there that I've gone to but this one by far is one of the best as far as clothing selections go. I always walk out with $30-70 worth of clothes and with that money I get so much especially on discounted items. Not to mention their used clothes are so well priced it honestly makes the experience more enjoyable. Now here are the cons. Their new with tags items are WAY over priced, some near retail. I know those are supposed to be more expensive ideally they should at least be half off not near retail price which defeats the purpose of buying them thrifted. Another thing, it's way too hot and stuffy in there. I've gotten used to it but they don't have AC only fans which doesn't do much only if you're in front of it. Other than that the pros outweigh the cons. The employees are cool, and honestly I typically spend like 3-4 hours there at most. I always look forward to coming here. Lastly, don't forget to bring cash because it's cash only!

I waited to see a trinket box in a display case that had a clear 8$ label on it, only to discover it had three pieces all priced separately at 8$ including the lid!! This already had me annoyed but it was whatever until I walked the floor and found a lidded pot priced the same way! $19.99 on the pot and a separate $19.99 for the lid taped to it!! 20$ on the floor of a thrift store is already too high but 40$ is outrageous!! Especially if you price a lid at the same price as the pot!! Just price your items at what you want to sell them for and don't try to trick your customers!! Use one tag!! If that trinket dish had one label at $24, I might have bought it but instead all it did was put a bad taste in my mouth!! Thrift land has always been a little highly priced, on top of being inconvenient, as a cash only establishment but I had thought it mostly worth it before now. I don't honestly think I'll be going back there again...
