Absolutely recommend this place. Lots of great items, from shoes to clothing. Love how organized and clean aisles were. I found a handful of good pieces at a neat price. The highlight of my experience was definitely the customer service. First Goodwill I've been where I feel welcomed. Thank you Taylor for being such a great help and for the great experience! read more

One of the nastiest thrift stores I've ever been to. The store was freezing cold inside as if you were inside of a refrigerator. The whole place was dirty and smelled. The products for sale were all used up and junky - nothing worth buying. The lady working the registers had her mask underneath her chin the whole time I was inside the store. If customers are expected to wear a mask over the nose and mouth, she should be too! She also made multiple customers wait to get the register running and open a checkout line because she was busy rearranging items in a basket. It was very rude. There was a group of extremely shady and questionable characters that walked in the store, right about the time I was leaving. They were looking at stuff in the store and looking each customer up and down as if they were trying to figure out what to seal and who to try and pickpocket! I got the heck out of there and will not be returning! read more

Goodwill Store - Thrift Stores Near Me - Cerritos, California

See all

I visited the store when it wasn't all that busy. I got a few items and had walked up to the cash registers and nobody was up there one of the registers had a closed sign but the other two had no notification. I walked to the one closest to the door and put my things down and waited. After a couple minutes a young woman with a Goodwill smock walked by me followed by an older woman with a cart full of things. They went over to the other register and she started ringing up the older woman. I just stood there with two items and had to walk over and get behind the other woman. I know I should not expect much because it is Goodwill but come on now read more

Under new management and I hope they stay! Jessica and Ruben are making sure this location gets 5 stars. I was greeted by Jessica and Ruben with such joy I forgot I was at Goodwill! Alyssa was just as nice at checkout - her energy is welcoming. This location is always well organized. It's pretty "clean" for a thrift store. This is my go to location if I need a quick thrifting "fix." read more

Great hidden gem! Friendly staff, especially Divine, one of the cashiers! Can't wait to go back.

Alyssa and Ruben provided excellent service and were very helpful in answering my questions. They made me feel welcomed and even pointed out a stain on a shirt when purchasing. Aside from the other goodwills, you will find the best staff here, and I will certainly come back here again. Give Alyssa and Ruben a raise! read more

It was super busy and Alyssa came through helping me out. She is super fast,nice and gives great service! Best employee in the store.

I've frequented this location over the years and have to say it's much cleaner and has a much better selection lately. Staff are friendly which is a plus. read more

I went there for the good deals HAHAHA!!! I wasn't looking for plates but sense I saw some that I had bought a year ago and some were broken I thought I would buy those. I bought my for a dollar from the Dollar Store. The price was $4!!!!! I kept looking and I see more and more items from the Dollar Store for $4. All the Goodwill lost a customer. Nonprofit just a way to not pay taxes. I rather donate to the military. read more

Friendly and close to home. Variety of merchandise. Can drop off donations in the back

I walked into the store the other day and was not greeted. The young girl, Alyssa, was on her phone and talking to another employee. I told her I had some donations and she rudely told me they didn't take them there, but didn't give me a reason why. Later on when I was ready to check out there was no one to be found to ring me up. When I went back to try and find someone I hear her loudly burst out of the back cursing and yelling about something with terrible profanity. There were children present and the words she used I wouldn't say to my worst enemy. She needs church. She finally rings me up and fumbles around looking for prices which she struggles to get. I asked her if she was new and she gives me a smart-aleck remark. She is a terrible employee and when I asked for the corporate number, she said there wasn't one. HOW is there no corporate number to complain about people like this to? I paid and left. Will never come back. Terrible. F-. No stars. :( read more

Drop off was easy breeze. The gentleman was very helpful in answering questions in regards to the items I brought. Great customer service. I didn't get his name but he was very helpful. Thank you. Till next time. read more

This goodwill doesn't take donations.. I honestly done understand why.. it looks like they do so I drove there only to discover they don't accept donations.. it's unusually challenging to find a place to donate near me. It wasn't even junk. My baby grows fast and I had bags full of clothing that would be helpful to parents in need. Was frustrating read more

Omg I just can't go to this Goodwill without leaving with some fabulous finds! I swear ever since Jessica the manager came in and cleaned up this store and got excellent merchandise I have been scoring on stuff. She is awesome! All the staff are wonderful and happy and helpful. Shout out to Alissa for her excellent customer service! I love this place! I almost don't want to post because I feel like it's my secret to amazing finds but I feel like all their hard work and treasures need to be shared! Thanks Jessica and everyone there! Keep up the good work! read more

I wasn't aware this location doesn't accept donations. Never been to a goodwill that doesn't accept donations. I walked in to drop off a bag of clothes and both employees are standing there on their phones and don't even look at me or turn around. I asked where I can drop off donations and the employee said this isn't a donation center but I can just set the bag down. I'm confused where they're going to put my clothes that i want to be donated if they're not a donation center. read more

Omg the store has gotten soo.much better. So many nicer and cute things to buy.i found a few awsome things. Highly recommend to shop there. Met the asst Manager Jessica good move Good will. JESSICA connect with the customer. A1 Customer service I'm drawn to come back and spend more Money.See you soon. read more

I walked into the store to scope out the inventory without anything specific in mind. In the end I picked up a brand new corset, ski pants, and a top. The store consists of a diverse clothing selection and staff. Rubin and Jessica both had kind spirits and high energies. I wouldn't have bought the corset if it wasn't for their impeccable vision. Throughout my shopping experience, I also had the pleasure of speaking to Alyssa's sweet soul. Goodwill in Cerritos, 10/10 recommend. :) read more

They don't take donations. What kind of Goodwill doesn't want donations? They should try to negotiate with city to improve their business because the sign said they don't take donations because of city regulations. read more

Bought a shirt for ONLY $2.50 and and jeans for 10 bucks. Would definitely come back again. The only down side is the you can bring 3 clothes and can be there for only 10 mins inside the fitting room ? Anyways still pretty good ! read more

I never know their names (i guess alyssa and ruben after looking at other reviews) but there was this younger girl (around my age or a few years older) who rung me up and we had a really good conversation. She was super nice and complimented on my tote bag that I painted and we talked about a vinyl record that I was buying. Also, I think around 4-5? they bring in a new rack from the back and every time on the announcement the person sounds so excited and happy, it honestly makes me laugh because the whole store is so quiet. It also kind of reminds me of some wwe/boxing announcement. Every time I come in, I often get something. Like I got this cute pink corduroy overrall dress (it had a tear but I just sewed it) and a green spring dress. There was also a pretty little thing bra that still had the tag! The list goes on but those are some highlights recently. Overrall, the workers are the best and they have some good things there too. read more

If I could I would leave negative stars. I have shopped at this good will multiple times. This one visit is what made my experience the worst I have ever had. There's a woman who has braids and who always rushes me then makes me feel bad she gets easily frustrated at the purchases you try to make. There was this instance where she had to call her supervisor for help on the register because I wanted to take out an item as I was too short ( she complained about that too ) her and the supervisor I suppose were bantering across the store and being rude towards each other in front of me. It was very unprofessional and I really wish they were nice not just to each other but towards their customers as well. read more

I am a disabled person deemed by the state of California as being Handicapped. I asked to use the mens room. The lady said that it was out of order. I explained to her that 2 weeks ago it was also out of order. She very disrespectfully, rudely and unprofessionally said "Yeah, and it's still out of order" I felt extremely humilated and asked to speak with her manager. The hispanic lady manager (No name) was more disrespectful than the initial lady. She refused to give me her name. I asked for the district manager's name and contact info. She wrote down a false number. She stated that she would not give me her name because she had not done anything wrong. I explained to her that I was disabled, and that her staff was very rude to me and unprofessional. She laughed at me and said I was harassing them. I have been going to that store for many years, and have spent thousands of dollars there. I am going to report the bathroom issue to the health department, and call their corporate office and file a complaint against Goodwill. I will never shop there again, and will pursue criminal charges due to negligence and defamation of character and other charges that may pertain to this issue. If I could post this without adding a star, I would. read more

I just left this store feeling disrespected by the store manager named Korina, I wanted to buy this comforter but there was no price so I saw her at the back of the store tagging some clothes by the door and ask her if I can ask her a question, she didn't even looked at me so I asked again and she just flat out ignored me.I went to the cashier and asked for the price of the comforter and bought it, I also asked the cashier if she is deft. She told me she is the store manager. How can Goodwill have people like this? She is the worst person to be in her position. The cashier told me she has an attitude. I hope she takes it elsewhere and shove it somewhere. read more

I do 90% of my clothes shopping at thrift stores so I'm beginning to notice what makes a store good or bad. I determine which ones are my favorite by these standards: fitting rooms (yup this Goodwill has 'em and they're clean) cheap clothes (nope*) good media section (almost non-existent) *All the Goodwills I have wandered into have had fixed prices for clothes which is not a reasonable way to price merchandise in my opinion. Who wants a muumuu for $6.99?? And c'mon, when things are priced this way, doesn't it usually mean people will pick through the good and leave the junk? Not a fan of this method of pricing. But I'd be damned if I didn't mention that there are some real gems you can find here if you look outside the clothing section. Target donates a bunch of new items and there's a bunch of cheap stuff for home decor. Not too many people know about this store, so it's always nearly empty and easy to pick and choose the nicer, cheaper items to keep for yourself. Overall, decent and worth checking out. read more

This used to be my go-to Goodwill, since it is like 5 min away from my house! But I'm sorry to say that I've retired this one lol. The Goodwill prices are totally insane! $10 for a dress ? -__- No way. Just because thrifting is getting popular, they feel the need to raise prices. There are plenty of hole in the wall thrift stores that I enjoy much more. Also, there are many other goodwills that have 50% off certain items! I wish this location did that as well. If they ever do, I will start coming here more again! :P I do like to come here every so often because I like looking through the maxi skirts/ shirts which are around $4. I've found pretty good ones here in the past. They have an okay shoe and bag selection, nothing to get excited about. Every time I see cute shoes, they are size 10 or 11 =( I'm a 6.5! Haha. The workers are nice though. read more

Plenty of $7.99 for dresses that were from Target (Merona, Mossimo, etc). Their prices could be cheaper, but they are a legitimate non-profit that benefit needy people and provide job development skills. It's always organized and color-coordinated. The sign in the dressing room says there's a camera watching you. Not sure if that's true or weird. read more

The only reason I am giving three stars is for the assistant manager krista....she saved the day.. She was polite and helpful after the first girl yeorm ignored me while talking to another male coworker.. I walked right up because I thought there was no line due to them chatting so close to closing. (the time now is 8:45) There was a line... Once she seen me she said very aggressively" go to the back of the line.." There were many people waiting to be checked out.. Krista was called to help... She got three sales finished by the time other other girl finished one..... I shop here sometimes and never been shocked at the attitude of the sales people.I have worked in sales, It is very important to remember every customer is important from first to last..... read more

I needed some boots to wear for a Halloween costume, normally I would buy new ones but I only plan on wearing them once so I figured I would see if this Goodwill had any good looking boots for my costume. This place was organized and well stocked, I didn't find the right boots but I found some cute name brand dresses. I believe they were 7 dollars each? I also got a few cute tops and some Toms..dig and you will find something here. Everything was great except my checker was really slow and held up the line. I'm not kidding, it took her about 10 minutes for a few items. I will be back again..I liked the prices and the way it's organized. Thanks! read more

Small Goodwill store tucked into a small shopping strip. This store has lots of name brand clothes, books, and mirrors. The prices though are a bit high for second hand stores but i've come to see that most Goodwills seem to have high prices and if you do want a deal, you'd have to know when to go when they have half off days. I came on a Sunday and everything was regular price, maybe try during the week or on a Saturday? They also don't seem to have a jewelry counter, maybe I missed it but I didn't see one and they have very little toys. Service was very friendly. read more

I loved this Goodwill, has some great finds and treasures! Definitely going back! Clean and organized as well.

I have shopped at so many different Goodwills, but this is the only Goodwill I've ever been to that never has any records except for the same scratched up worthless records that they've had for ages. I wonder if this Goodwill allows collectors to get the first look at their records, which in my opinion would be totally unfair to the rest of their customers. Goodwill, if you have the same records for month after month and nobody buys them then you should throw them in the trash because they are junk that nobody wants. Please throw out your worthless vinyl and add new ones to the crate. read more

Its a great place. Friendly staff. Well organized.

Sitting in parking lot. It's now 23 minutes past when it's scheduled to open. Employees and customers all outside waiting.

The organization is absolutely amazing! The interior is just really not nice and neither is the area around it. I just think it's just such a shame to the face of Cerritos because everything else is so nice-looking. o: read more

Recently visited this spot, my autistic sister was walking inside the store, not sure if they just mopped the floors or not. My sister slipped and fell, they stared at her and said you ok? They didn't go help her or anything, they just looked at her. I understand it's one of her favor places to go. But that wasn't called for, if someone falls, you help them up, and see if they need any help. Don't stare! read more

My first experience in a Goodwill store although I've donated many times. I came in to kill time while my friend was getting a facial next door. Clothing was cute with lots of accessory selections. I ended up with a cute bag. Service was super sweet. I was greeted with a welcome to Goodwill when I walked in which surprised me for some reason. Wish I'd had more time to try stuff on but very happy with my $6 Ralph Lauren purse. read more

I always find something here. Place has more stuff than other Goodwills I've been to. Staff is pretty friendly. Love the $2 clothes sales. Knocked a star off for lack of cleanliness and occasional disorganization of items. read more

My favorite Goodwill of all time! I find the cutest things here, whether it's dresses or skirts, shoes, and accessories!! My go to store and I come here weekly! The employees are also super friendly and warm. Someone that takes the time to ask about your experience there is Tim!!! He's sweet! Definitely a place to check out! read more

The black lady that was ringing me up from items decided that she wanted one of the items that I was about to pay for. She was like "Oh sorry this is hold" how is it on hold if it's on the sales floor? How can something that I had with me since the rack be on hold? Stupid. I swear. read more

This Goodwill is very organized. Toys, clothes, etc. Very organized. Tammy the manager at this Goodwill.."great job and your staff".
