I love thrift stores in general, and this one in particular. I get the impression that there isn't…read morethe same sort of fascination with groovy thrift store finds in Europe as there is in America, or at least the San Francisco Bay Area. I have this impression because I rarely see shoppers under forty at the Pikulan, and because their items are dirt cheap. It's my one regular stop in the Netherlands where I don't feel the painful effect of the weak dollar in comparison to the stronger Euro. If my observation is correct, please don't tell the young people of Surhuisterveen how great thrift store shopping is! The last thing I want is for their prices to go up, or for a crowd to be there the next time I go in. As an added bonus, their staff is friendly and always helpful. They're a tad shy about speaking English and ik spreek niet so goed Nederlands af Fries. That said, it's never stopped them from giving me top-notch service. The items are clean and very well organized. If you come at certain times, you can enjoy a very nice coffee hour with locals and employees for a small donation. And the best part? It's for charity! While it doesn't necessarily elevate shopping to a noble deed, it sure beats padding corporate profits.

Really cool vintage store in a cool street with lots of other awesome shops. You can find really…read morenice pieces here and also great shoes. Prices are fine and the vibe in the shop is really cool! The shop is filled with stuff so you will have to take your time. I always like to search through the many items, to find a nice new treasure for my collection :)

Lots of genuine 80s and 90s clothing, which was amazing. Such nice workers and the vibes are…read moreinsane. This place was so nicely organized and was even sorted by color in some sections. You can tell that whoever puts these clothes in store really works hard. It was more expensive than thrift stores I've been to but the price is worth it! Would definitely recommend.

What comes to mind when I first walked in here was the Goodwill from the USA. I love coming across…read morethese types of stores, because I can easily call someone to help me get rid of any unwanted items from our place. They have no problem picking up your unwanted items. On another note, I saw a few cool Fixie bikes in here too. If you fall under this category, then this is the place for you. People who shop on a budget or who are thrifty smart shoppers. Treasure Hunters-one man's junk is another man's treasure. Anti-Hoarders- this is the place to call to get rid of any junk. Hoarders- People who need help getting rid of junk. Love giving to charity organisations. People who love spring cleaning their closet, in order to get rid of the old, in order to bring in the new. College Students who just moved out of their parents house and need to shop on a budget.

Best thrift store i've ever been to, i live nearby and go at least once a month. They have…read moreeverything ranging from lp's, books, toys to silverware, art and clothing. I usually buy clothing there because everything is so cute and clean but i also have some artwork and christmas decorations from here. The clothing ranges from €1 to €5 and they have every category. The dvd's, books and lp's are usually €1-€3 euros; and the rest is all usually below €10. Another great thing is that when you spend money there 100% of it goes to a good cause (disabled people (who also work in the shop but are very capable)).

I notice sometimes you might come across a few interesting vintage garments as well in here. They are located in Cruquius shopping center, which is one of the big outlets in between Heemstede and Haarlem. There are a variety of big shops in this shopping center. The previous pictures on Yelp doesn't really give an accurate perspective of the current shop. So keep that in mind, it's definitely worth a visit.

Lots of clothing, books, furniture and more. It is great! I love this place especially for the clothing. Everything is very well sorted and their really are many treasures to find. The clothing department really feels like a hip city vintage shop but with better prices! I think they really decorated this place very well! Except the furniture department. Which is on the top floor. This department isn't very organized and prices are quite high. Also the stuff isn't that great. What I also like about this place are the spacious and nicely decorated fitting rooms. I also like that they have a café! With quite a lot of seats. It's very cheap and you can have a coffee with a piece of apple pie here! Nice :)

Happy to see this shop is still thriving. It's been ages, since I have been in here. Cool shop,…read moredefinitely worth browsing through. I bought a cool pair of vintage Levi Jeans, because unfortunately they don't make Levi jeans like they use to. Although, I thought 45 euros was a bit high for secondhand jeans. The best part for me was the Jeans and Kimono section. On another note they have a lot of nice things worth checking out. The employee said they also have another shop worth checking out, it's apparently within close range to this shop.

I visited this shop today fifteen minutes before closing. My husband and I asked if they were still…read moreopen, and the girl at the counter let us know that they were, for fifteen more minutes. We were 100 percent clear when the shop would be closing. I found a few cute, decently priced things to try on amidst the overcrowded racks, and proceeded to the dressing "rooms," whose curtains always leave an embarrassing gap (which could easily and cheaply be remedied by a clip, hook, or velcro). Since I still had several minutes before closing, I tried them on. With five minutes to close, the girl at the counter shouted out a loud announcement that they would be closing soon. Since I was only feet away from the desk, I could hear this quite clearly. However, another sales assistant felt the need directly after this to come over, stand outside of my poorly closed curtains, and shout loudly that if I wanted to pay I needed to do it now. Still shirtless, I said that I was getting my clothes on. I didn't realize that I would be required to respond from the dressing room to the girl at the counter. If they plan on closing at 4:55, they should put that on their door. The other option would be to let us know when we walked in and asked about the closing time that they would be closing early. I would definitely have bought all three items that I found had I not experienced this rude, unnecessary and unprofessional behavior. I considered going back in and saying something about it, but instead, I will refrain from giving them my business and recommend that you hop over to some of the many superiorly curated and more decently priced shops in Utrecht. This one is a pass for me.
