Much more than any other HomeGoods I've ever been to. They even have a second floor where they house the bathroom decor, blankets, & vanities. Their first floor had a large selection of lamps, house decorations, kitchen gadgets + machines such as SMEG coffee machine + Cuisinart products, as well as outdoor patio furniture sets! Honestly will be back very, very soon! They have literally everything and more, I love it! We found a nice rotating charcuterie board here and I have already made great use out of it earlier haha.

Has good parking right outside, located next to TJX down street and sierra which all seemingly correlate to one another. Service was find quick and easy checkout. Got what we needed.

A Truly Extraordinary Boutique & An Even More Extraordinary Owner…read more I've been shopping at Karma for more than 15 years, and in all that time I've never encountered another boutique--or another human--quite like Phuni, the remarkable woman who owns and runs it. She is kind, inspirational, incredibly talented, and has an eye for style that feels almost magical. When I first wandered into Karma all those years ago, I remember thinking the clothes felt a bit expensive for me. What I quickly learned is that the quality is far beyond anything you find elsewhere. Every piece I've purchased has become something I wear joyfully for years. They hold up beautifully, they feel amazing, and I'm constantly stopped by people asking where I got them. Truly, each item ends up paying for itself in longevity and happiness. One of the best parts of shopping here is that Phuni knows me--my style, my size, what flatters me, and what will make me feel wonderful. She regularly brings me pieces I never would have even glanced at, and they end up being the exact things I fall in love with. Last year she suggested a jacket I never would've tried; I wore it - with a fabulous scarf and woven tote bag I also got at Karma, in NYC, snapped a rare selfie because it looked so good, and a woman on the subway stopped to tell me I looked adorable! Phuni also dressed me completely for the night before my daughter's wedding, and the outfit was so special. I continue to wear each piece with joy. In fact, I've asked my husband to skip the flowers for Mother's Day and my birthday-- instead I spend it at Karma. Shopping with Phuni is such a gift in itself. It's not just the clothing, either. I've found beautiful jewelry, scarves, bags, and truly meaningful gifts here. And what makes it even better is that Phuni sources everything she can ethically, sustainably, and through Fair Trade, supporting many women‑owned businesses, including artisans overcoming tremendous challenges such as sex trafficking. Her values are woven into every item she brings into the shop, and you can feel that integrity the moment you walk in. If you read her story (and you absolutely should), you'll understand why this place feels special from the inside out: https://www.cometokarma.com/about. Karma is one of my all‑time favorite places to shop, not just for the clothes but for the warmth, spirit, and generosity of the extraordinary woman behind it. If you're thinking of visiting, don't hesitate. You might walk in for clothes, but you'll walk out feeling seen, uplifted, and beautiful. Highly, highly recommended.

Met Cal probably a year ago and because of his friendliness and making feel comfortable about asking any question,whether about albums or stereo equipment, I try and frequent as much as I can. He sold me a pair of vintage speakers and a vintage receiver at a great price. I am fairly new and learning as i go about audio equipment and Cal took a significant time to chat with me and walk me through certain steps about building a stereo system,and trust it helped! He is fair on album prices and because he has a turntable set he will play album for you before purchasing. Super cool place to visit with a wide range and variety of vintage wares.

Also quite a few interesting games and a lot of aromatherapy and scented candle things.

They also sells a lot of vinyl floor coverings, which are also far nicer than you would expect. I might get one as a table covering.
