We were looking for a large display cabinet and found this place on a recommendation. We found exactly what we wanted, for a great price. They even recommended movers to help us get the piece home! Everyone there was VERY nice. High quality items there. My teen even bought a few items from the clothing section. read more

I came in over the weekend to donate clothes and shop and had quite a bad experience. To begin with, the directions lead to the wrong area, which isn't their fault but it was really hard to find. I tried calling so they could tell me how to get there, but that just wasted another 10 minutes and got me lost again. There's barely any signage to direct you to the store. By the time I found it and walked in it was 4:40pm (they close at 5pm) and I told them I had donations and wanted to shop. They replied, we're closing soon and closing the fitting rooms in 4 minutes!, which made me feel very unwelcome. I brought a huge bag of really nice clothes to donate, some brand new with tags on and there was no thank you or acknowledgement of the donation or even a hello, which was really rude. I started shopping and a few minutes later they came to tell me they closed the fitting room. Not ideal at all but whatever. A couple minutes later they came and said, we're closing you have to go to the front now, essentially kicking me out. Mind you, I drove over an hour round trip to go out of my way to donate here since it supports a very good cause (when I live 5 min from a Goodwill I could've easily donated to instead and saved a ton of time). I wasn't particularly impressed by their clothing selection and forget finding anything if you're not a size small or medium. While I wouldn't discourage anyone from donating here since it supports a great cause, I would Never go back to be treated like such a huge inconvenience when I went Far out of my way to donate and shop to support the cause. They were nicer when I left saying they're open tomorrow, but at that point I never wanted to return. I've never been treated so badly at any store in my life and will not be back ever! read more

If you are looking for antiques or the middle ground of traditional furniture and vintage decor items this is the place. The stock is beautifully displayed and is very tempting. The overall feel is quality. There is also clothing sorted by high end designer and everyday wear in the back. The staff is friendly, all animal lovers who appreciate your purchases goes to supporting animals in the adoption center. I found it easier to let go of some of my parents' antiques knowing they were going to Orphaned Objects. My dog, Billie Sur is from The Helen Woodward Center.. read more

Fabulous resale shop with a fabulous selection and some new items. Can't wait to come back, but I am from out of town so it will be a while.

I found exactly what I needed. The staff was very helpful. The prices are reasonable and I bought a gift that was very nice.

This used to be one of the best places around to thrift. I know all good things come to an end, but this is very sad. They used to have amazing labels at very fair and reasonable prices. Those boutique prices have now doubled. The $5 back room now room no longer is exciting to go through. The inventory seems to stay there with very little turnover and it's very mediocre labels. I will still go in and browse and hopefully find a treasure, but it won't be as often. read more

I love my donations go to help animals. HWAC is a great place and I have adopted 2 pets from them!

This store truly is a hidden gem. It actually is hidden behind the Helen Woodward Animal Center. So, just follow the signs. At first you feel as though you've walked into a dazzling designer showroom. But fear not, there is something for every one. There are deals to be discovered towards the back of the store. Keep going because the are little rooms everywhere. Staff is warm and friendly. Selection is inspiring and of great value. This place made my day. read more

Great place for second hand clothing. The problem here is when I stop by the last two times I am followed around the store closely by a store employee pretending to shop. It is always the same woman and I don't know what her deal is, but from the moment I step in the door until I check out she is literally feet from me all around the store. I have literally never stolen in my life! I'm not sure why she seems to stereotype me every time I walk in the store. Maybe because I have tattoos? No idea, but it's incredibly frustrating and feels disrespectful. This past instance the store was pretty busy, lots of customers around, but the entire time she chose to keep tabs on me for no reason. Well that must have been a bore for her since you're not getting any action from me. Anyways I like the store but their incredibly judgmental and disrespectful employee is becoming infuriating for me. I feel like I can't shop in peace when I'm here, definitely not without being judged at first glance. At this point I'd rather avoid this place if they let their employees treat customers like this. read more

Such a fantastic thrift store!! Lots of fun and cool items! The jackpot is their women's clothing section! High end items for $5-10! They didn't have a large selection of bags or kids items though. read more

Always has great finds!!!! My mom and aunt drive from LA because they love it so much. The people who work there are awesome too.

This is definitely a hidden gem that supports a great cause. My sister in law brought me here for a quick thrifting trip after a family party. Considering we had only 1 hr before it closed, we were about to get our shopping fix on. Their shop is beautifully and uniquely set up with different rooms of clothing, housewares, furnishings and even art work. They had a sale going on which anything about $20 was 1/2 off this particular day which was a score! My sister in law came out with the cutest leather boots for the fall as I came out jeans, a skirt and a couple of sweaters. I couldn't believe the amount I paid for the clothing I got! The only issue was there was a security tag left on one of my sweaters which my sister volunteered to take back and have it removed. I had to twist her arm.... NOT! Gave her an excuse to spend more time shopping the next time she goes. Lucky her! read more

This was an interesting place. Like any thrift store there were a few good finds here. Lots of women's clothing, small selection of men's clothes and fair selection of home goods & art pieces. Bought my daughter an 80s style dress brand new with tags still attached for $10 and myself a pair of cute earrings for $14. read more

Although they have furniture from wealth origins and the charity is fantastic, the prices are insane. Why pay new furniture prices for out of style used furniture? Place makes no sense. I have visited 4 times and never purchased anything. read more

Best service ever. Super unique designer finds that you can't find anywhere else. Mike was amazing!! He let me look through racks in the back and this was the best service I've had in years. Amazing 10/10. Hidden gem stop by!! read more

We love this thrift store! Plus it helps support a wonderful cause. Everyone at Helen Woodward Animal Center I've come across has been there out of the love of animals. The products are first-class, clean, and fairly priced. They will also work with you if you can't live without something and find yourself short of required funds. Highly recommend & can't wait to return again. read more

This is the best thrift store I've ever been to, and I've been to *dozens* in the San Diego area. Someone said this isn't a thrift store - and it's true that that if you need to be very thrifty, this might not be the the right place for you. However, it is definitely a thrift store -- their mission is to sell second-hand goods for a charitable organization. And these are FINE second-hand goods, for a great cause, the Helen Woodward Animal Center. Many items are relatively inexpensive (like kitchen items and pet supplies) and some are pricier such as art & furniture. In any event, the quality is amazing! Everything is in very good condition, nicely displayed, and some great name brand items - furniture, clothing, etc. I found a beautiful Tiffany-style hummingbird lamp shade here for $49 - then found a great base for it at Consignment Classics for $25. So, while a $75 lamp isn't cheap, it is perhaps half of what I would pay new, and I like it more! If you are interested in some nice furniture, go to craigslist San Diego and enter orphaned objects. They will list a few of their pricier items here, not many are my taste but it gives you an idea of the type of furniture they acquire - often fine furniture from nearby (expensive) homes. Give it a try if you're nearby. Or even if you're not! :) That's what I'm going to do today! read more

This is a very special thrift store with unique and quite beautiful items. Prices are anywhere from reasonable to down-right inexpensive (for really good quality pieces). I've purchased furniture, jewelry, home goods and of course, clothing here; their back room is filled with amazing bargains. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful. And course, you cannot help but want to support the cause--four-legged friends looking for their "furrevrr" home. read more

I like that it gives 100% to animal rescue but is still highly overpriced as a Thriftshop. I only bought one thing but would have spent more if the value was better. $10 for a used book. I suppose it's the area it's in. read more

I am not sure what is going since Covid. It appears many businesses don't care about customer service anymore. Managers specifically. To be fair most of the ladies at the Resale Shop in RSF are nice and very welcoming. The manager MIKE, I could NOT say the same. I have a house full of nice things to donate including clothes, beautiful furniture, art...etc. I made a special trip to talk to MIKE about my donations. He was short with me and dry. In a place like this that donations is essential, I was shocked with the kind of treatment I received. He gave me 2 ms or 3 of his time MAXIMUM and cut me off while I had questions! He was too busy to talk to me. GO FIGURE!!! I drove 30 ms each way, and wasted my time as I refused to be treated badly. Regarding my donations In case you might be wondering, was easy to find another charitable foundation with a good cause that was very very very happy to take all I have and treated well. I am donating my things as I am moving out of State, and the new house we just bought came furnished. Hope the Cooperation will take my review in consideration. PS I have donated lots of nice things to this place in the past. Unfortunately I won't keep donating anymore. read more

A good thrift shop. It supports the Helen Woodward animal center. A few bargains, and great Hugh end items -at a discount. Their clothing section is very reasonable. Shout out to "Selena", who is always for cheerful and helpful. There's a"hold" counter to leave your items at while you shop. And there is a daily special. read more

This my sister and my favorite place to come !!! The staff is lovely and there is so much to shop for: furniture, clothes , home decorating, designer, jewelry and shoes! I always come home with something fun to wear!! read more

I have found lovely, gently used furniture for amazing prices. There is always a treasure to find.

I love this thrift shop! They have so much to see in all the different little rooms, it is truly a treasure hunt! So many name brand clothing, purses and shoes! I also love looking at the furniture, home goods and art. They have great sales on different days, but my favorite sale is the back room where all clothes are $5!! And it makes me feel good that it is helping the animal shelter . The staff is great too! So friendly and helpful! I highly recommend popping in here to see what treasures await you!! read more

I praise Helen Woodward Center for it's wonderful programs run by mostly professional people for the greater of animals. I have donated in the past items with no problem. Today however, I was stunned by trying to donate items and the procedure involved. The cashier was not very nice when I tried to walk in with a few quality items and I was directed to a certain parking stall only for donations. I followed directions to a tee. No one came out for a good 5 min. Going back into the store she didn't seem to know I had just talked to her. Scary. No sign is posted to where to leave donations. This facility really needs to improve on employees and signs. Sorry to say, I will look elsewhere to donate. read more

This store has turned into a very upscale, more like a Nordstrom's or Bloomingdale's than a thrift shop.

Upscale shop with everything from shoes to furniture. Sometimes you can bargain with them for great deals. Best of all, it helps the animals. read more

What a lovely, first-class consignment store. High-quality furnishings and clothing at good prices--and every dollar goes to support our animal friends. Check out their website for sale days. Bought a never-worn Vera Wang cocktail dress for $22 (half-off sale), and lovely photo frames $4-$7. Knowledgeable, helpful staff--many are volunteers there. Nicely merchandised and clean. Not the cheapest thrift store, but very good quality at fair prices. Definitely the place to go for unusual decorator items. read more

Love this store. I always find something great here for the whole family. Great selection of new and gently used items. We recently got a new puppy and was needing all the gear. I was able to find a crate, dog carseat, bed, toys, dog bowl and lead for less than 1/2 the price of what Petco was charging. Mike the manager is amazing. He's always so cheerful and helpful and makes it a pleasure to shop there. Plus, by shopping here your supporting a wonderful cause! read more

Unworn, tag still on, anthropology dress for $40. You can't get much better than that at a second hand store. Not only does this place have a lot of good finds here, I also got a glass bowl for $10 to make myself a little terrarium, It's the most well organized second hand store I've ever been in. It is a converted old animal hospital so they use each exam room to separate kids stuff, sporting equipment, and books. The center exam rooms are used as dressing rooms and they have more little treasures to decorate those rooms as well. Front reception is mostly cool display items, dishes, and women's clothing and accessories. Most furniture is in the back room along with men's clothing, unless it's being used as display cases in the front. Honestly I spend about an hour here and could have spent more time if I hadn't had to get back to work. There are a lot of hidden good finds in between the fun stuff. An all of it benefits the Helen Woodward Animal Center. You really can't get much better than this. You get to go shopping for cheap but quality items and feel good about spending all that money on animals?! Done. read more
