They also have a restroom so you can keep shopping if you're dying to pee. There are clothes, books, kitchenware, jewelry. Some stuff is even outside on the porch. If you're traveling away from Abq toward Santa Fe it may be hard to spot; if you hit the post office, then you've just missed it.

This is definitely one of the best thrift stores in Albuquerque! My family has been coming to this…read morestore at least once a week for a couple years now and we've always been pleased with our thrift store finds. Great values, low prices, friendly staff, and overall clean and well organized. The location at 5500 San Mateo is easy to find and centrally located right across from Cliff's Amusement Park. There is a great inventory and selection of a wide variety of items from housewares to artwork, tools, seasonal items, and furniture. Items are reasonably priced and prices are clearly marked. The staff is friendly and helpful and can assist you to find whatever you might be looking for. They have a special Saturday sale every weekend where they offer special discounts and they occasionally have surplus furniture items at discount. This thrift store is linked with the coffee shop (The Well Coffee NM) in the same strip mall and they have a 10% discount available for people who patronize both shops. Best of all, the proceeds from sales at both shops support a transformational ministry that works with young adults through love and caring. And if you need to unload extra stuff, this store is a great place to support. Donations are tax-deductible. They have truck pickup service for large donations and they also have a yard service crew you can hire for help around the house. Take a look, you'll want to go back and see more; there's always something new and interesting because their inventory changes daily.

This store has a lot of antiques and collectibles. The customer service is excellent! However they…read moredo not have very much of a surplus selection. And a lot of items do not have a price tag, it is dependent on who is behind the counter. If you're looking for surplus this is not the place unfortunately.

A very sad place, from the dingy lighting and old musty smell, its not a pleasant place to shop in…read more The right half of the building is very early lit, which houses all the surplus offerings. The left half houses the furniture and is brightly lit so the difference is glaringly obvious, The aisles in the surplus area are narrow, with objects sticking out and blocking your path so you have to walk with a lot of care. The center aisles are so dark that you can barely see anything, and considering that most of the items are designed to have low visibility, it makes sense that not having the lights on make for a terrible if not dangerous shopping experience. There appears to be plenty of products but the reality is that the select is poor, its not stuff that most people would want, and it seems to be the derelict dregs leftover fro what other surplus stores across the country rejected. If you are shopping for camping or emergency supplies, this place is likely to let you down.

They stock rustic furniture, tin animal cutout and scrap metal figurines (ok those are pretty cool). Then leather belts etc and mass produced pottery from Mexico. What I've noted in my trips through various places selling Native American Pottery (again not from the craftsman) they over price it, but hey we're going to give you 50% off. Ok so enough of my rant. So what drew us into the store was the display of scrap metal artwork based on Star Wars, Alien, Iron Man, Wall-E, Transformers etc. I'm always impressed with the talent & patience necessary to make that kind of stuff. It's the cool factor. The other stuff meh,

I saw some of the reviews below and was troubled by the accusation that the owner is racist. I…read morecould be wrong, but have never experienced such attitudes from him. I am, myself, an Arab American and he always treats me well. That said, some of the "quirks" of his personality COULD understandably lead people to leave with a bad impression. Let me explain. The first time I went approached his store, the door was closed and locked. But the owner was inside and saw us outside the door. He opened and asked if we (my mom and I) had an appointment. I said no and he told me he only opens for people with appointments. His voice was a gruff and I was initially turned off. I started to leave and he interjected and asked if I wanted to make an appointment. My first instinct was to say no. But at the last moment I relented and said yes instead. A slight grin crept up his face and he said he had an appointment for right then. At that point he opened the door and let us in. I think he likes to play the curmudgeon sometimes. But after that first experience, he was always warm and friendly. He even remembered at later visits that I had been in before. As for the assertion that he was racist, particularly towards people of Asian descent, I just have not seen that from him. Quite the contrary, I was in the shop once with a friend from Thailand who lives here in Albuquerque. The owner greeted us both with a friendly hello and let us in. He even pointed out some antiques from SE Asia for my friend to see. He was friendly and conversational with my friend as they discussed the origin and cultural history of the items. Obviously, I haven't seen the owner's interactions with every customer. And I wouldn't want to support a business owned by someone who discriminates or acts hatefully. So I want to be clear - I could be wrong. I just wonder if perhaps he was doing his "curmudgeon act" and it was misinterpreted. I'll be back to shop until I see something more definitive than a few vague yelp reviews. Accusing someone of racism is no small allegation and I hope the people who've made it here are absolutely certain that that is what they experienced and not a older person who sometimes likes to play the grumpy old man.

This is actually John Isaac Antiques, which is hidden in the…read moresecond story of a group of shops in Old Town. We are antique hounds, have lived in ABQ for over a decade and just stumbled on this store last weekend. Please go visit this store immediately. The owner is a treasure and has apparently been selling out of this space for over 20 years. He has a wealth of stories for all of the items he has packed into the several large rooms in his store. Very authentic, with an emphasis on traditional Mexican arts. Loved the entire experience... and will definitely not wait another ten years to come back.

Each Beanie Baby was $4.00. It's a bit cluttered but that's the adventure! As another reviewer mentioned the owners are wonderful people. This is the type of place you should visit and purchase something at because you want to support local business owners. Some items you would find here: toy collectibles - beanie babies, my little pony, Barbie, McDonald's toys, cookware, really unique items like a wooden tic tac toe board, Christmas ornaments, furniture, and some great tea pots.

I think their business is REALLY struggling with the construction on 4th St, so I'm hoping this review will help get some locals in to keep them going. It's mostly smalls... figurines, knick knacks, glasses, decor, collectibles, some art, etc. Not too many things I'm usually in the market for, but I did find an amazing early 1900s coat rack, and they let me buy one of their display cases. They had a good selection of southwest jewelry for awhile, but last time I went in some savvy shopper had swooped nearly all of it up. They usually have some rusty dusty antiques out front, so it's easier to spot from the road. They have a small dedicated parking lot too. Give 'em a look!
