Stopped in for the first time today and am so happy I did. Despite the owner being very busy this week she took time to welcome me and go above and beyond in serving me. Besides that, there were so many wonderful items of clothing ranging in styles, size and season. I will definitely be retuning when I have more time to look at everything! If you love thrifting and funding treasures, this is the place to go! read more

Awesome shop! Endless choices and good prices. Kathy is very good at what she does. She's the best. The treasure hunt is part of the Mother's Secret experience. read more

Mother's Secret - Maternity Wear Near Me - Orange, California

The owner is the nicest person and she definitely runs this store here by herself and for all of the selections I've seen, I think she's done a great job and looks good doing it as well! There's a wide, wide variety here at the store and anything you're looking for specifically you'd find here! I was looking for a summer sleep sack and found so many different styles and was able to go with one and saw a customer asking for a tutu undies and she had an entire bin of assorted styles. Wow, you definitely would not find that at target. Support local and thanks for keeping your prices low and giving general advice even when the store was jam packed! read more

I came to visit found them on TikTok and I was not disappointed at all! I came with my baby and partner it is tight and stacked but, it was a thrift heaven for us! The owner is sweet, helpful, and hilarious. I personally appreciated the prices on their vintage items I bought compared to resellers online or at markets. She does not have items individually priced, there's plenty of parking, plenty of items to look take your time & look around. This store is for true thrifters ignore the bad reviews read more

Do not go here unless you're wanting to play retail price for used clothes. That is essentially with this owner is doing.

If you want literal endless options and great customer service you need look no further. This shop is a treasure chest of clothes, books and toys. The owner is very friendly and transparent. You will without a doubt find something you are looking for. Cannot recommend enough! read more

IT'S SO FULL. The owner really stuffed the place. I don't think I can stand straight without having the clothing racks touch both shoulders. I had to kind of turn as I was walking through the store. She's super friendly and runs the whole store herself. She really makes it a point to introduce herself and show each customer around her store. I think she's passionate about being a mother, as she tells some of her story as she's ringing you out. There's no price tag on anything, she kinda decides the prices when you're at the register and then you can decide if you still want the item or not. I wouldn't say it's SUPER cheap, but more discounted than your retail box store. I just wish she was open longer/different hours because i'm always at work when she's open. read more

My husband and I were looking for snow gear for our kids and we were recommended this place by our neighbors. This place is amazing!! So many options to choose from, good quality/condition of clothing , great prices. They have everything you can think of! Also, the owner was extremely helpful and accommodating as we were looking for specific items. Definitely going back! read more

What a blessing! I stumbled upon this gem of a store while shopping for myself and upcoming baby. I'm currently 7 months pregnant and found SO many goodies for myself and baby. I stayed shopping for nearly 4 hours and I can't wait to go back. The owner is so kind and helpful. She helped me find a big bucket of stuff for a great price. If you like thrift shopping and don't mind looking through lots of items for treasures I guarantee you'll love it. Thank you Mother's Secret, finding your store is too good not to share with others. Happy Holidays. read more

This review is long overdue, but I had a great time at Mother's Secret. I drove over an hour to shop here and I wasn't disappointed. Mother's Secret is the only thrift store I went to that had a LARGE selection of maternity clothes. Everywhere else I went mostly had baby clothes. The owner was very kind and accommodating. I tried every piece on in the bathroom before purchasing so I knew I loved every piece I bought. It wasn't super busy (I went in the middle of the day on a week day) so I didn't feel pressured to hurry. I spent about 2 hours thrifting and found my baby shower dress here. She doesn't pre-price items so she will tell you at the register and you can decide if you want to purchase or not. Her prices are fair considering she purchases items from others and it's not just free donations like Goodwill or other thrift stores. The quality of clothes is great. There are a lot of clothes so the place is packed- but as a thrifter I did not mind at all! read more

I LOVE MOTHER'S SECRET. The store is jam-packed with treasures from Disney, sports teams, carter's, and more! There's also a fantastic maternity section. If you like digging through racks for hidden gems, this is absolutely the place for you. Kathleen is so helpful and understanding of people on a budget. Don't expect to see price tags glaring at you through your shopping experience. There's a little sign that explains pricing and Kathleen is happy to explain how she charges for each item. Moreover, she'll tell you the price and let you decide if you want each item! No pressure to purchase! Come here for clothes, toys, and accessories for you and your baby! read more

What a find! I stumbled in here looking to sell my gently used baby clothes, and was graciously greeted by the owner Kathy! She was a sweetheart. I showed up unannounced (you need an appointment to sell) but she didn't turn me away, she accommodated me anyway. I fell in love with this place! So much good stuff-- packed to the top! It's not quite cookie cutter neat, but it's clean and filled with unique items. I loved it. If you ever shopped at Buffalo Exchange, it's the same idea-- buy, sell, and trade in your items for store credit. I wasn't expecting to make a lot of money (for me it wasn't about that) I just wanted to declutter items I wasn't using anymore. The owner was so personable and sweet, you can tell she's a down to earth hard working woman. She doesn't have any employees so she's literally taking care of everything and managing appointments while customers shop. This is the exact kind of business I want to support in this economy. If you're a hardworking mamma with good style, shop here! read more

This store was my first thought to come to when I found out I was pregnant. Amazing selection of clothing, shoes and accessories for baby. I suggest coming down and seeing the wide variety this store has to choose from, you won't be disappointed! read more

Unkempt. Dangerously full of clothes. Hangers break because things are so packed. Everyone finds something because there is so much stuff. Variety of shoes, do not look like they've been cleaned. Sets aren't sold as sets. Each item is priced with a system that probably only makes sense to the owner. Aisles are very narrow so if you are fuller figured or well into pregnancy, it could be a stretch to manuever comfortably. Restroom is available in the back. Many hooks and a tiny table inside to try on items. All in all, I'm a seasoned thrifter and bargain shopper and this place is more boutique pricing than anything. At my local thrift, goodwill, I pay 2.99 for men's shirts-flat. I did buy a handful of things, but felt quite pressured at the end, since no prices are really mentioned before hand. And, employee said "prices depend on demand," a thought I understand. Supply and demand for certain styles I guess. I just know I could pay similar prices for new. I bought several sets of so-so brands that could be found at tjmaxx. read more

This review is long overdue! I came here around 2 weeks ago after seeing it on tik tok. I work as part of management for a Goodwill so I was iffy about going because how I could betray my own work lol. But my daughter and I were excited to check this place out. When we got inside the owner, a beautiful woman, welcomed us and explained how her store works. She showed us where the 5T clothing for girls was located, and let me tell you, there is so much clothing for 5t. The dresses, omg my daughter loved exploring for cute dresses that fit her style. She found around 7 dresses, 3 sweaters, a vest, and bottoms. Before we wrapped up I spotted an area with cheetah print, I was in heaven! Do know that this woman is a dedicated, hardworking mom doing bada** mom stuff. She is running this store on her own, people. Items aren't tagged so once you are done she tells you the price of each item and you make the decision yes or no. She'll put back your no items, ring you up, and you'll be on your way with cute clothes for your baby. Like I mentioned she is a dedicated mom so sometimes she has to close up shop to be there for her baby. I heavily respect that and understand. Therefore, call the store before going. While you're in the store, keep an eye out for her lil gray cat, he is beautiful. read more

Super cool store for children's clothes, books and toys! It is stuffed to the brim full of treasures and it is a bargain shopper's dream store, but make sure you have time to look and sort through the items because it takes time. The owner is super nice and helpful. Wish I had known about this store when my kids were younger, but now I get to shop there for my grandkids! I can't wait to go back! read more

First time here and will definitely be back! Kathy was extremely helpful and kind. I am pregnant and was hoping to find some clothes/toys for when baby comes and I hit the jackpot coming here! I was able to find sooo many cute neutral baby boy clothing items (which if you're a boy mom you know it can be hard to find) and also some great baby toys all at a great price! I will definitely be back!! read more

We came here for the first time today and Kathy was able to fit us in to her busy schedule to sell our baby clothes. Mother's Secret is a fantastic store with tons of great stuff. If you enjoy thrift shopping - this is the store for you! You search through the inventory and will be amazed with what you find. Her pricing is more than fair, and what she buys items for is even more fair. We'll definitely be coming back. The store credit is perfect, you can sell items the baby has outgrown and get some new stuff. There's clothes, toys, books and more. Thank you Kathy! read more

My fiance and I are looking to start thrifting clothes for our future children so we decided to come here after hearing so many great things about the store. The owner was very kind and informative. There is also a lot to choose from and various sizes. Definitely coming again (: read more

She said it was a consignment store but why did I have to dig like I was in the bins ? Also very over priced . I shop sustainable before I buy new but the prices were very high . Items were priced like they were brand new, I'm talking Zara , gap prices .also nothing is price before hand . She looks at your items and she prices the items with what SHE thinks it's worth. read more

O!!! M!!! G!!! This store is amazing! Absolutely come here if you need kids clothing or maternity stuff! There is so much variety it's insane! I wish I knew about the store while I was pregnant because I would've had such a fun time picking out maternity clothes! The woman who owns/runs the store is such a lovely person and the store is amazing. Absolutely, highly recommend coming here! read more

I just stopped into mother's secret for the first time. What a treasure trove! I was able to get a couple large toys for my 9 month old. I also got some cold weather clothes, including a couple outfits for upcoming Christmas activities. The owner said she'll have even more seasonal clothes out soon. Now I'm almost looking forward to my baby outgrowing his current clothes because it will give me the chance to do some more serious clothes shopping at mother's secret what a great place! read more

So perfect! I cannot express enough how heavenly it is! Yes you definitely have to look and can get overstimulated and overwhelmed by the amount of clothing but everything is perfectly curated and you will find the cutest vintage and 2000s style clothing, im obsessed! The owner is so sweet and genuine. This is a small business, everyone should be nice and respectful! If it's not for you, go to Target! But if you want cute and unique vintage pieces for your baby, come here!! you will find gems read more

Really LOVE Mother's Secret! Kathleen does such a great job with the amazing bountiful stock she has! Yes, it's jam packed, yes, you have to look through, BUT there are bargains to be had! She has everything (clothing, shoes, accessories, burp cloths, etc.) for babies through elementary school aged children. Mom's, look for your maternity wear here! If you can't find your size, just ask! Plan on spending some real time there. She doesn't have time to tag and price everything but her pricing is on a small sign up near the register. She will hold up each item when you go to check out and if you don't want it, just say so and she'll put it back for you. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Second time here and it's such a hidden gem! If you love thrifting, you will love this place. She has a GREAT selection of quality kids clothes and shoes. I always walk out of here with many items that I'm excited about. read more

Way too crowded in there. Mostly clothing. The selection is amazing beautiful clothing. But I'm more of a thrift store girl. I won't pay $10 for a used toddler sun dress read more

Okay think a garage sale with clothing limited to preggos and kiddos. Came by since I was in the area to check it out. The owner recognized me as a newbie and was kind enough to let me know where everything was. Some Childrens clothing still had tags on it and there were Childrens books. I didn't inquire about pricing. You really have to have time and patience to go through the items. I noticed that the adult clothing was dated and had a lot of wear though I'm sure there are hidden gems therein. There is a small bathroom to try on clothes. Owner also buys clothes from you if that's what you're hoping to do. read more

Mothers secret has tons of stuff as you can already tell by the pictures and if you ever went in person .. that's more choices for you ! The owner is really nice. The three stars is for the pricing . I can literally by a set 2 piece brand new at TJ max or Burlington, costco for one item she sells. No pricing which is totally fine but for a used sweater for 15 bucks. I saw the same one at tj max WITH pants for 14.99 NEW read more

We couldn't find any maternity jeans anywhere. Target , Walmart and other only had maternity skinny jeans. Cathy had all kinds of maternity jeans. No only that, I found some unique things like a baby soccer jersey and some neat toys for my toddler. This place is Amma lazing and so is the owner. You don't know what you'll find but I'm sure you will like it. read more

Prepare to look. I think this shop has good things but you have to have time to look, specially on a solo run! I will come back soon.

Truly a hunt but you can find a wonderful selection of items. When i'm looking for something unique that not everyone will have this is the place I go. This is also a great place to grab basic essentials second hand. You can't go wrong! read more

Kathy was so sweet with us, amazing customer service. I really enjoyed being in Mothers Secret. We live two hours away and we will definitely be coming back to shop for our little one. I found a cute little vest with snake print that's super adorable, also found some onesies. As for myself I found some maternity jeans, super cute!!! Honestly I haven't had any luck finding maternity jeans that fit me perfect like the ones I found here in Mothers Secret. Definitely recommend! :) read more
