A lovely, well-stocked and reasonably priced vintage store. Truly some great pieces in here, with items ranging from the 50s to the 90s. I found an awesome long paisley 70s skirt, a midcentury skirt suit, and an adorable gingham top. The owner is a lovely kind lady eager to help or just gab. Really great neighborhood vibes spot! read more

Wow, such a cute shop! I am absolutely blown away at the quality and selection. Sharon was so patient to let me go through The entire scarf collection. Many of them had designer brands with signatures on them, a few of them were even new with tags. As I was going through them.We had a good talk about tips on handling vintage fabric. This place is a boutique. The items are carefully chosen and placed. I found the prices to be fair read more

Fabulous store! Well curated women's vintage clothing and a friendly and helpful owner. I always find at least one piece to buy.

Owl Talk is an unique store owned and operated by 2 delightful sisters. I first visited Owl Talk quite a few years back and had a wonderful experience of finding an unique ring made of special moon stones that shined differently at various angles. My most recent visit, I bought another awesome ring of a rose-gold leaf design, made of a special metal I can't recall at the moment, but the band is sterling silver. A really cute 1970s tabby cat designed pin also came home with me. Prices are fair for the jewelry since most are vintage and can't be found else-where. They also have a lot of different knick-knacks around the store ranging from clothes to purses to shoes to small gifts. Service has always been great, I love the genuineness of the sisters and they're openness to sharing stories. I'll be back soon, perhaps this weekend for Shop Small Saturday, Support Local Businesses event. read more

Just like I remember it!!! Had not been here in a while. I didn't want to leave, I love this place. Kathy has always been amazing. I strongly recommend this place if you are looking for unique and vintage dresses and accessories. read more

What a cute little shop! They have vintage women's clothing and cute little wares, some books, jewelry. I wish I had more time to peruse. I liked the handbag selection too. The woman working there was very friendly and offered help to find something. Will definitely be back! read more

Perhaps it's because I'm a Gemini, but I find that my personal style alternates between both Zooey Deschanel and Sofia Vergara. Owl Talk is Zooey Deschanel, on a great day, but without the pretentiousness you tend to find at other vintage shops. There's nothing I love more than a girly, ultra-feminine dress. Bonus points if it's in a bright color like yellow. Owl Talk was like walking into my own Carrie Bradshaw dream closet! Everything on the racks, from dresses, tops, blazers and accessories, were meticulously handpicked for the girliest of girls. The owner was friendly and very helpful. When I gave her a synopsis of what I was looking for, she quickly zeroed in on several dresses, one of which, an aqua cocktail dress, became my new favorite dress. The inventory was pretty good, save for the high number of black, gray and neutrals. Per the owner, this was mostly due to the season, but I would have really loved more color. The average price for the dresses I pulled was about $25--a bargain considering that A) you have something unique B) you can't find it at Forever 21, and C) since it probably wasn't mass produced, the quality is far better than any disposable clothing out today. Parking can be a little chaotic since Owl Talk sits on some prime commercial real estate on Eagle Rock Blvd. Street parking is minimal with frequent visits by the popos and faux-popos. Mind your meter or get stuck with a $38 ticket. read more

Reopened in a new location up the road. Gem of a vintage shop with well curated, clean and cute location. The woman who works there is sweet and knowledgeable- really easy to talk to- and no real pressure (though I found 2 cute things to take home). Go check it out- I could have stayed all day read more

I went shopping here and the owner/one of the owners gave such terrible customer service. There was a dress I picked up and was at the counter ready to purchase when I noticed that it had a small hole and also a stain. I pointed this out and she just took the dress and threw it on a table behind her and went on to charge me for my other purchases with absolutely no explanation. I asked her if I could still buy the dress and she said she was going to have to tell the seller about the problems with the dress. I asked her if it would be possible to ask the seller if they would consider selling it for less because of the damage, and if I could leave my name and number with her. She took it , but that was over three weeks ago and I never got a call. Honestly, they're making such a profit on the clothes they sell (I heard her telling someone that she had a whole $4.50 credit from a dress she sold), that it wouldn't have killed her to just sell me the dress with a discount and take less of a profit. It's called making a customer for life, which she didn't do. There are too many other great used-clothing stores to waste my time somewhere my business is not appreciated. read more

Its a cute store but vintage is not my thing. Some of the cuter items were pricey or super small and its not like they can check in the back for your size. I thought the jewelry was great and the lady working there was a peach. read more

From 1940s perfume bottles to books to clothing and accessories, this store has a little bit of everything. I got the most awesome pair of dove earrings here, a cute blue bangle, and a nice Hawaiian cover all. I checked out Owl Talk after not being able to see Immortal Technique at the book store next door : *( I swear I tried to get in! Oh well. At least my trip was not for nothing. While looking around I developed the most intense episode of déjà vu ever. There were some serious steals in there. But I had to hold back and keep to the vision I had in mind. The owner was so nice and told me the story of how her and her sister with little money started this business over 15 years ago. Since then they have sold over 25,000 (re)used items. Yay for the environment! If you are in the area, check it out. There is actually stuff to do around Eagle Rock. A little cafe is right down the street, on the opposite end is a bakery and right next door is a book store. Not too far away is a cute little nail shop along with restaurants that look like they just might serve tasty food. You can easily have a relaxing weekend here while picking up some cute items. I think Eagle Rock might be my new San Pedro and Owl Talk definitely has a special place in my heart. read more

As a vintage aficionado & Eagle Rock resident, Owl Talk is literally & figuratively right up my alley. Owl Talk is nestled in the block of neighborhood shops along Eagle Rock Blvd at the Colorado intersection, a perfect location if you happen to find yourself post-Swork and in the mood for a window-shopping stroll. While not everything inside the small shop is vintage, the vast majority of it is and the store owner will gladly tell you the history of items that catch your eye. My favorite sections are the accessories and the jewelry but there are plenty of vintage clothing options as well. The prices are reasonable for a vintage shop but don't go here looking for thrift store prices because you won't find them. Having vintage-loving friends, Owl Talk is on my list of stops for holiday shopping when I'm looking for something unique and with character, but I always manage to make more than a few stops inside year round. read more

Within minutes of walking through Owl Talk's doors, I immediately fell in love. Their style ranges from vintage to modern. I knew I might get lucky at this place when I saw an Andy Warhol inspired wallet. YES, an Andy Warhol wallet. Plus, I almost screamed with delight when Aimee pulled out an Incubus t-shirt from the rack. The prices here are very reasonable. I found this shirt that one of my friends bought at Nordstroms for about $60. Owl Talk's price: $36. I wanted to buy the Andy Warhol wallet, but I walked out with two really cool dresses while Aimee walked out with this really stylish blouse. When the owner asked if I wanted to sign up for their mailing list, I jumped at the chance. I've never been so excited about a store until now. It's no wonder they've been around for 13 years. read more

Prices are not rock-bottom thrift-score, but you'll find some good deals on new "off the back of a truck" clothing and accessories. You'll need to come in on a regular basis to find the object of your affection. -A read more

Owl Talk is like my fashion hollaback. When i cant find enything i like in those mainstream stores , i go to my safe haven that never lets me down. Though , the clothes may not be like those stores , remember " Beauty Is In The Eye of the Beholder " . The clothes really are vintage and dear i say this : ' second-hand ' .But they only pick the best second hand so no need to worry , your not going to buy a peed on jacket here. They have a storage space in the back that they use to keep the new incoming stuff ( they also buy online , from other stores , flee markets and etc ) , stuff they need to fix and look at and stuff that needs a little bit of TLC. They have different styles of clothes from vintage dresses to new ' green ' fabric skirts. They have alot different jackets from coats to really quirky sweaters. They also have a top section with really odd but cute fashion tops. I had bought a really unique vest with cute , distinguishable patterns on it , and everytime i wear it i get compliments and ' omg thats cute ' eyes from people passing by me. For accesories , they have a selection. They have old shoes that are acquired taste. They have the cutest quirkiest selection of handbags , clutches and bags! Some of the vintage ones hanging on the atop the walls are for purchase. They have a good but small selection of scarves and hats. i was actually suprised to find a fur collar neck warmer ( or whatever you call those things ) and a bin of ties near the good ole rotation sofa chair they have there. They also sell really cute jewelry , headpeices , earings , necklaces etc. They have a good selection of alot of different things. They also had/have earmuffs!!!!! ahh!! The 2 sisters , Sharon and Kathleen , who own this place are both very nice. they both have pretty different personalities but their still sisters and and nice people so just talk to them :] , they dont bite!. Sharon though is in the store most of the time. She is a really nice lady who opens the store to have a very nice welcoming , home-y , cozy feel to it. They are really nice ladies who like to give fashion insight , and also have quite the sense of humor. They also like to tells stories and help act as a stylist/consultant. They are really interactive with their shopping customers so your really going to leave this place with an experience not a visit. For a personal experience , ive loved every minute being in the store. its just so welcoming and those sometimes i visit with my friends and teens can get carried away sometimes , theyve still remained very nice people. one point i actually came over their alot and Sharon actually got accustom to my visits enough to remember who i was haha. I usually go here when its the time that i need to buy something , such as autumn when i needed to buy a peacoat for winter or the day before the local high schools homecoming dance! Ive bought different things there that i dont regret buying. ;) I Will Always Love Owl Talk Forever More! read more

This place is pretty well organized (by general size and then color). It is a little bit small so the jeans are kind of folded up neatly near the shoes, one shoe is out from each pair, scarfs are in a cute little bin. It is overall very neat, the attendant was really helpful and attentive. Don't expect designer brands, this is just cute stuff at consignment prices. There were several brands I had never heard of that seem to be favorites of the buyer and they were definitely cute. My friend, who is a 8/10 found 4 AMAZINGLY cute dresses and a super nice work top. I don't just mean cute in a simple way, we are talking patterns and lace and 50's cuts. Some VERY cute dresses. She also got a brand name pair of black booties. She cashed in just under $100. I got two pairs of black flats, one metallic and one sequined, both brand name (Steve Madden and then an Urban brand). I also found a really cute dress that I will wear out to dinner on Valentines Day and a purple maxi skirt (score). I cashed in just over $60. Holy cannoli batman. Takes a bit of fishing but the place is well organized and you will get more bang for your time than any thift store. The main fitting room was great. The one set up as a back up with the silver curtain made me a bit uneasy. But I'd say for the price we got and the selection available I have no complaints. OH and the little owls hidden through the store are super, duper cute. read more

WOW this is as good as it gets! I found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. What a find! Two sisters own the store and boy do they know their stuff. Everything in the store is organized by color and sizes (smalls on the right; med/large center and left). It was very easy to sift through clothes so right off the bat they had my attention. Their prices are ridiculously reasonable! I bought 4 dresses, 1 blouse, 4 tops, a sweater, and spent a little over $100! I literally had a shopping bag full of clothes! Labels range from BCBG, Gap, Ann Taylor, to vintage, to brand new. I spent 2 hours there! Everything was really cute and the clothes were in excellent condition. AND to top all of this goodness off the sisters, Sharon & Kat, are the nicest people in the world! Super friendly and helpful. I am a customer for life! No metered parking around the corner - bonus! read more

I LOVE OWL TALK. I hate to disclose my secret but I want them to stick around so they'll always be there for me. You will find the cutest vintage wear in very good condition and always nice and clean. There is no dusty dirty thrift store or unkempt vintage store vibe here. Everything is neatly organized in a well-lit environment so you can really see what you're getting. There are lots of styles for kinds of tastes and a nice rotation of restocking/new items. The owner is so nice, always fun to talk to and get ideas for cute outfits. There is something very pleasant about being in this store. Warning: If you see something you like, you'd better grab it because if you come back, it WILL be gone. I've learned my lesson plenty of times. read more

We stopped in here JUST TO LOOK to kill some time before heading down the street to Mia Sushi. Well it's not our fault they have such cute stuff! It turns out they've been here for 13 years! I can't tell you how many times I've driven by this place and never realized it was here. It's very small and if you blink you might miss it but I'd highly recommend checking it out. One of the owners (sisters) mentioned they're working on getting a website up. Very reasonable prices and the cutest stuff. Maria walked out with 2 dresses and I walked out with a top. read more

Ive always liked coming to this shop when in the area. The owners are super nice and have a keen eye for quality vintage. Nothing else burns me more than to see vintage items that are damaged. It is not that way here by far... They are reasonably priced and have a great selection. Accessories especially! Perks.. Umm it's close to Swork and the Coffee Table and just around the bend from the Colorado Wine Company! read more

Some great things I've gotten from Owl Talk: white & green zebra shirt dress (which I have worn serveral times & received numerous compliments on) and authentic elephant tusk mini hoop earrings (which were sadly stolen from me sometime in college). The owners and very cheery & hold several sales giving an additional 50% off already reasonable prices. I just don't like seeing the forever 21 and gap pieces mixed in with the other great finds. read more

This friendly neighborhood vintage boutique is a true GEM!!! Every time I am in the mood/need for a little retail therapy, I know I will be in good shape here. It's like playing dress up with old friends. The two sisters that own the shop could not be more lovely! They have great taste in clothing, accessories and are a lot of fun to talk to. They are genuine, never pushy or trying to oversell you on something you aren't sure of, which is highly appreciated for someone like me who likes to shop at my own pace and left to my own devices as far as what I am looking for. That is not to say that both of them aren't super helpful when needed. They read people well and are so nice!! The clothing selection is fun. Some items new and current, some are vintage. This is NOT a thrift store. It is definitely a little more specialized. The store is an intimate setting with a lot of fun girly things to look at. Aside from the specially selected clothing, you can find a myriad of purses, soaps, shoes, greeting cards, books, and other nick nacks. The jewelry selection is quite varied with many nice pieces, from inexpensive costume jewelry to a little pricier custom and vintage pieces. All in all I would say the prices are very reasonable and not going to put you in the broke house or give you buyers remorse. Being next door to a coffee shop and other lovely neighbors, spending time on this little block and IN this store is a great way to fill a couple hours, have a couple laughs and get inspired by fashion. I should know I do it all the time :) I love this store and highly recommend buying your next little party frock there. read more

I am really impressed with the selections of the jewelry counter. I walked away with a sterling silver vanity set, and a sterling silver set of marcasite embellished earrings and a necklace. Great prices too. You ask to see a piece in the display, and Kathleen takes that as her cue to educate you about the items' history and materials. Good lessons. Didn't really love the shoe selection. Or the bags. I thought the shoes were a bit too dingy looking and the bags were still a bit much (compared with retail prices...or vintage prices at Lady). I lovedlovedloved the vintage hats tucked away in a little corner. Now those were amazing little treasures for a great price. I picked up a super soft wool and cashmere cloche hat with the cutest velvet ribbon decor. Now, while the vintage selection for accessories is bridging on phenomenal, I wasn't impressed with the clothing section. Used or vintage, it didn't matter, everything had construction defects or super obvious staining. The sizing was pretty warpy and the pricing was skewy. A used H&M skirt for $12? That's just dumb. This places get 3.5 stars for me, but I rounded up cuz I'm not as pessimistic as most people think... read more

As a local resident of Eagle Rock, I've been a customer to Owl Talk for quite some time now and throughout the years I have bought great items not only for myself, but as gifts to friends and family. i have bought items of every kind from Owl Talk! dresses, sweaters, , scarves, jewelry, soaps, purses, you name it. they also have a great selection of cards for all kinds of occasions. Everything they carry is absolutely reasonably priced, especially the beautiful selection of jewelry they carry. whether or not your a local resident, or looking for a used and vintage clothing store, or simply in the neighborhood browsing the local shops, i recommend you make a stop into Owl Talk and buy a unique item for yourself or someone else! read more

This has been the only vintage/thrift shop where I've been able to consistently find amazingly cute things! I actually found this place by accident when I was walking down Eagle Rock Blvd. Since I love owls, the name and clothing racks I saw hanging outside the shop prompted me to go in. The owner was super friendly and attentive to her customers. The items were reasonably priced and some even still had the tags on them- they were brand new! She also had a bin of items for $1! Can't beat that price! I also able to find a cute v-neck sweater! I don't think there is a parking lot for the building so I would advise to park on the street. Make sure to read the sign posts so you won't get any parking tickets! Overall great place with cute things. I would definitely come again! read more

Love this shop!! I have rarely gone into browse without coming away with something that either accents my wardrobe "to the T" or that perfect gift for someone I couldn't find something for and there it was all a long. From jewelry to bags - from shoes to scarves - it's there, that's for sure. An added bonus and what actually makes this shop the greatest are Kathy & Sharon. Both multi-talented, personable and cordial, they give totally of themselves in their shop in every detail...vintage fashion, consignment, display and selection. After almost 20 years of shopping there and leaving items for consignment, I return time and again. I go where I am appreciated. Owl Talk speaks to me!! read more

Oh man. I wonder why I've never walked through these doors before in all my years that I've lived just up the street. *slaps forehead* Kathleen is such a great soul and so into what she does. A great selection of vintage and costume jewelry in great condition. I bought about three necklaces and a pair of earrings by Sweet Romance for about $48. I also bought an incredible Art Nouveau, Mucha-esque drawing for $18. A great selection also of bags and shoes. Just a wonderful place to hunt for memorable pieces. read more

I use to live near Eagle Rock and decided to pay a visit last summer before I moved. I love this shop and the store owners. The sisters are really nice and really helpful if you need anything! I bought a pretty dress for only $18 and I've been wearing it ever since then! There's also a little chest of clothing that's marked down to $1 so if you're short on money, there's a little something for you too. :) read more

I got a rad pink kimono here. Lots of treasures and kind service.

OWL Talk is the best vintage thrift shop and boutique I've been to! Whenever I need something dressy, casual, eclectic, fun, formal, or hip - this place has it all. Shopowners and sisters, Kathleen and Sharon, are wonderful to do business with - they are fun and personable and have a great eye for design. The whole store has a very consistent theme, and they always have an eclectic, fashionable array of jewelry and handmade stuff that I cherish the sight of. My favorite is their eye on bohemian casual-to-dress up skirts and tops. read more

This place has really adorable and fairly priced items, however this store is not worth going to simply due to the poor, no terrible customer service. Every time I have been in here I have been treated like dirt or ignored. Today for example, I went in to check on my consignment and waited at the counter for about 10 minutes while the lady working was on the phone talking about anti-depressants and anxiety and low sex drive- I don't want to hear about this. Nor do the other shoppers in the store. Finally after I have been standing staring at her for too long she sighs and asks what I need. I tell her I want to check my credit, she sighs again, asks my name, I give it, she then says hold on then finishes her conversation!!!!!! 15 minutes later she looks me up and without asking writes me a check for $3.90 which is what I had credit for. At first I was irritated because who wants a check for that low, I'd rather just put it toward something, but then I realized I never want to shop or support this location ever again. Meanwhile, my roommate who was with me wanted to try some items on, but after witnessing this event just put them back. You are loosing business by your poor character and customer service ladies. read more

Reasonable prices and the history lessons are free...great finds in unique jewelry, imported soap, and vintage clothing for fashion adventurers and creature-comfort lovers. Sharon and Kat are connected to their customers and the items that they offer...in that way, you're entering a special world. Come often to sample an eclectic smorgasbord of fun things. It's not just shopping, it's a relationship. Metered parking around back and on the street. read more

Found some great stuff here. Great mix of vintage and newer stuff. Sales person was very friendly and helpful without being pushy- my type of customer service. Prices are reasonable and fair. read more

I was browsing this store yesterday to see if i would be able to find some clothes i could use since it is a thrift store which the sales girl said they carry many new and used things that they sell from people that also bring in on consignment. Well i thought some of the prices were a little too high on some used items, they carry, jeans, skirts, dresses, blouses, sweaters, pants, scarves, jewelry and gift cards also soaps and purses. The shop is a antique vintage looking kind of shop with the 80's kind of style to it and i thought it had some cute items but nothing i really felt i wanted to buy. read more

Owl talk has been around for a good long while. You can find some really cute pieces in here and it's priced right. Range of decades 50's-80's with newer and older pieces too. read more

This vintage and consignment shop that feels like walking into your eccentric granny's closet: think pillboxes, brooches, fur hats. This isn't high-end designer duds, but everything is reasonably-priced and full of pieces you just won't find anywhere else. We eyed a pair of red cowboy boots and an 80s sequined blouse (and quickly dismissed the thought How good would those look together?) The shop has been a neighborhood favorite for over 20 years, and run by the sweetest pair of sisters. read more

confession: i don't believe i have ever purchased any clothing from this store in the 10+ years i have shopped here... my wallet magnet pulls me directly to the jewelry cases, so my review and star rating is purely based on all of the wonderful little gems i have acquired here. cameos, porcelain pieces, clip on earrings, pillboxes, pocket mirrors, brooches, bracelets! oh they're all so beautiful! every piece i have purchased i have been taught about its origin, design and material. kathleen (owner) is very knowledgeable and shares all of her valuable information with her costumers... this sharing of knowledge is what brings me to write a review... just recently took her Vintage 101 class offered through Glendale Community College. i learned so much in the two hours we were together, not just from her but from the other students as well. spent our time talking jewelry history and sharing other valuable information, it was just plain fun... hoping there will be a second class... anyway, as if i needed another reason to love this place! happy shopping! p.s. cash, credit cards accepted... i believe lay away is still an option... don't forget to feed the meter! read more

I wandered into this place by accident after giving up on trying to find it, and boy was I happy! It is such a small little shop, a mix between a consignment shop and thrift shop and it is absolutely so cute. I found a few good things in here and many fun and wild looking things here too. There is a mix of trendy/hipster, vintage and modern clothes and they are all reasonably priced. The two items I bought were actually new items and one of them was 50 percent off. The owner is a nice talkative lady and she was very happy that people were purchasing items from her store. I would definitely recommend this cute little store. read more

First time visiting today, right up Eagle Rock blvd, almost at Colorado, and let me tell you how surprised I was. I dropped some change in the meter for street parking, not knowing how long I would stay, but once I entered I was greeted by the shop owner, super friendly woman, and started to look around. I came her specifically looking for fur coats (part of my Halloween costume and because I've always wanted one) which she had several lengths, colors, and pelts. After trying on three, I chose a short, chocolate brown mink shrug, which I absolutely adore, and she was super helpful in explaining care, discussing what furs were each coat, and even got my email to send me information should another come in. She had many lovely racks of clothing, all decades, everything in superb condition, and a large display case of different accessories, all in this one tiny shop. I will be coming back, not just for my love of vintage, but for the excellent prices and wonderful customer service. Minus one star for difficult street parking, I did not see a lot, but I also did not ask. Otherwise, fantastic all around. read more

I've shopped at Owl Talk for many years. The owners are not only very knowledgeable but also very friendly and helpful. This well curated boutique features an eclectic assortment of merchandise from one of a kind jewelry pieces and vintage fashions to unique gift items. Owl Talk has been in Eagle Rock over 15 years and I can't imagine the community without it. I have received countless compliments on treasured wardrobe staples that I've purchased from Owl Talk! read more
