They had a really awesome selection of vintage tshirts. They also had a bunch of really cute skirts. My friend got some new doc martens there that were so cute. The girl who helped get her size was super nice and checked in to see how she was liking them. I would definitely recommend checking this place out, but be sure to go in with the mindset that it is curated vintage and not thrifting as far as the pricing is concerned. They know what their stuff is worth and charge that.

I love to come here and see the ridiculous prices. $15 for a used mason jar? I'll pass…read more I'm also seeing many other comments about how rude the workers are, and while I've never had the pleasure of checking out, it's another reason to stay away.

If you've ever wondered what it might feel like to rummage through the forgotten attic of a…read morehoarder, Mother of Junk will answer that question- and then some. With an already generous 1.8 average rating, I naively assumed the bar couldn't possibly be as low as advertised. After sifting through hundreds of dusty pieces of "art", and I use that term with charity, I found myself staring at a selection that included high school diplomas, finger paintings, and several canvases that seemed to have lost a fight with both mold and a Sharpie. It's unclear whether these pieces were abandoned, donated, or simply left on the curb and swept inside, but the result is the same: a museum of mediocrity, priced like MoMA's gift shop. Finally, after unearthing a painting that at least had the decency to resemble actual decor, I politely offered the cashier $20 cash for an item marked $29.99. This is where the experience somehow managed to get worse. She refused outright- not even a token pause to feign consideration- then snatched the painting out of my hands with the kind of hostility usually reserved for airport security confiscating contraband. Her tone could best be described as performatively rude as though she'd been waiting all day for the chance to unleash it on someone. If you enjoy being treated like an inconvenience while shopping for discarded student art at boutique prices, this is your paradise.

The best buffalo exchange. I used to live in Williamsburg and would frequent this location often…read more This week I stopped by while on vacation and scored some gems. The pricing is quite fair. The staff are doing research. As a buyer, you'll pay as much as or slightly less than what is being sold on Poshmark or Depop in my opinion. Sometimes you'll get lucky and a limited piece will be priced at what similar items for that brand would be priced ... and that's the thrill of it all. Great quality items that you get to try on and feel. A lot of new with tag items.

Despite my horrible experience with the Chelsea location, this Brooklyn (WILLIAMSBURG) Buffalo…read moreExchange completely brought back my love for thrifting--and for this company in general! I was actually on my way to Beacon's Closet when I took a wrong turn and boom!--Buffalo Exchange appeared right in front of me. I figured, why not check it out since I'd never been to this one before? This location is definitely on the smaller side, but don't let that fool you--you'll find some beautiful pieces here. The staff is absolutely amazing: super friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and best of all, honest. And when I say honest, I mean it. They're very upfront about how low the company's buying percentages are. So if you think you're getting $900 for your $1,400 Balenciaga sneakers, you're sadly mistaken--but they'll tell you exactly what they can offer and even suggest other stores that might better fit your item's value. That kind of integrity and transparency means everything to me. It shows they genuinely care about you and your items. I've already visited twice, and I can confidently say this little Williamsburg shop is hands down the best Buffalo Exchange location. Chelsea and NoHo should definitely come take notes--this is the kind of service every location should strive for. Buffalo Exchange corporate: if every store had this same energy and approach, your brand would truly skyrocket. Thank you, Williamsburg Buffalo Exchange team, for making both of my visits such a great experience. I'll be back in a few days--keep up the amazing work!

Pretty decent selection and store for thrifting. You're able to also come in and sell your clothes…read moreif needed. This is also a rather sizable location which is about the size of a Trader Joe's! Thrifting is a big cultural trend in Brooklyn, and Beacon's Closet here is a formidable choice to do so amongst other stores.i was able to find two winter coats here and was happy with my selection. Thrifting definitely takes time and you have to have the energy to do so in order to dig through racks. However, the prices of thrifting and consignment stores have unfortunately gone up, so I give Beacon's Closet a solid 3.5 stars.

Not for me. Super pricey, the cheapest thing I saw here was a $25 t-shirt with a hole in it. A lot…read moreof things were priced at $45, like sweaters and dresses. Some things were real vintage and some felt like new vintage inspired pieces because there would be ten of the same thing on a rack. I'd say the best section was the shoes, lots of Doc Martins, vans, and converse. This place is packed with stuff which makes it hard to move around and look through the racks. It was very busy so I guess other people like it but I don't consider this to be real thrifting. This is a curated vintage store and you pay the price for it.

Well it looks like I've found my new favorite vintage spot. Incredible and curated selection, well…read moreorganized, and every piece I saw was in perfect or close to perfect condition. Pricing was honestly very reasonable and I ended up leaving with a ton of great finds. The staff was super helpful, knowledgeable and friendly, and the space was larger than I initially thought it would be - there's a whole back room with even more great stuff. The only piece that got away was a beautiful 50's jacket that fit perfectly but I had already spent far more than I had originally intended. Hoping someone comes by and snags it up soon so I don't have to keep dreaming about it.

There's also a bunch of vintage clothing and accessories here which are fun to look at.

DO NOT BUY SONNY ANGELS FROM HERE. Absolute disappointment when my friend and i opened the boxes…read more The heads were separated from the body which was so odd. In the pictures shown I got the white kitten, the flower one, the valentine bunny one, and this candy hipper. (The rhino and Lamb are real and i bought them in Newbury Comics) You can clearly see how they are fakes. It's ridiculous as two sonny's were $32.66. Not once did the girl (cashier) mention that they were fake, i even asked her how often she gets shipment and if they sold them at their actual store in Brooklyn. (i purchased these at their booth in Bryant Park) She even stated that they bring all the good blind boxes to the booth and how it's best to purchase them now rather than later. I hope others see this and don't get scammed how my friend and I did.

I think I'm in the minority here thinking Monk is a decent thrift store. I hate to be this person…read morebut I'll cop to getting skeeved out by used clothing stores because I've read too much about people getting hand foot mouth disease from those bins. Does everyone shop with rubber gloves on in these stores? I don't like the funk that a lot of thrift stores have either. HOWEVER I'm fully on board with not shopping fast fashion and buying second hand being a better alternative, so I'm trying to find a happy medium. At least Monk feels curated such that I don't feel like I have to dig too much before I find something cute. And I saw several cute items at this store. Yes, I usually do spend like $40+ on an item from here but that's less than I'd spend on a new item. I found a gorgeous mesh and beaded dress and a silk skirt that I still cherish from here. You may have to come back regularly to get lucky and find something you like, but I think they have a pretty wide selection of items. Lately I've opted to mostly rent my clothes so I still get the experience of having new clothes without buying new fast fashion but during the occasional thrift sojourn I'll stop in here to browse.

Allow yourself time to browse at this store - it's huge! Everything is very well organized and tidy…read moreand there isn't that funky second hand smell which I appreciate. Prices are great - $6 jeans and they have a wide variety of clothes from all recent eras plus overstock and army surplus.

Casual, one of a kind, fancy, vintage, trendy, old trend pieces that make the experience worth the trip. I like to see enough selection to boost my imagination for what I can do with the pieces. The prices are decent here too, don't change. I'll be back. Bring cash if you wanna avoid that credit card fee.
