Smaller store than I expected, but for a secondhand store, I've had the best experience here! I found three items that I loved and purchased all for $51- fair prices! Service was good, owner was sweet & talkative. ** this place is not located in the front of the complex, it's down the hall as seen in the photo!!

Driving on 16th street and what do I see?...a store with obvious charm and vintage fun , I whisper " that place is cool " , my husband being the smart guy he is says "Do you want to go ? "YES" I yell . It was a wonderful moment . And he immediately obliges with a u turn executed with finesse. We arrive back at the Bees Knees and I fall in love with the murals running on the sides of the building , a giant bee , a whimisical skull , a graphic mural ... Dee-- Lightful . Confession: I love vintage clothes , big bold patterns , amazing textures , great details ...it calls to me .... Stores that sell vintage clothes make me happy. Stores that sell cool old clothes that don't smell like attics are even more wonderful. The Bees Knees has impressive racks of womens and mens clothes with funky hipness that screams UNIQUENESS. Prices are very reasonable , wide range of sizes and the qualtiy is good. Not everything is old , but the colors and lines are interesting and hip. They also sell local artist jewelry , purses knick knacks and such. I found a beaded full skirt that has amazing textures as well as a bold print floral that is perfect for work. hubby found a Marvin the Martian shirt that was amazing but the wrong size. The Site also host a art space called the Hive. You never know what might be buzzing back there. ( I aplogize for the obvious.)

What a gem! Such an insightful owner who's genuinely dedicated to the art scene in the area; followed up with great suggestions on things to do throughout the day. Everything's neatly kept and well priced, definitely must-see if you're interested in the raw, local scene of Phoenix.

I liked it and prices were more then fair on everything except the art (a bit out of range I think, but some pieces are nice, just too costly) great place! Felt like I found a hidden gem and the coffee was good! But watch out about your car - the area is shady and I almost had my purse snatched when I got in my car around the corner (not the Bee's Knees fault though - just warning!)

I'm an avid thrifter but don't have a lot of experience with Goodwill specifically, but I always…read moreenjoy my experiences at this Goodwill! As mentioned in other reviews, there's ample parking and usually homeless people outside. They haven't bothered me or other patrons. There's a bathroom that requires a passcode, probably as an anti-homeless measure... I'm not sure how large other Goodwills tend to be, but I'm always able to walk out of the store with something decent. I've purchased bowls and dishes for about $1/piece, dresses for $8 avg, skirts for about $7 avg, tops for $6 avg. I've even purchased 2 suit sets for $10 each -- 100% silk and 100% wool respectively! Always happy with my experience at this store, although it's more expensive than I'd like a thrift store to be (then again maybe that's just the world we live in, in general). Note: if you donate a bag of clothes, you can get a 20% off coupon, although sometimes the cashier hooks me up with the coupon anyway!

Went into this place hopeful the store is clean unfortunately the people there who work there are a…read morebunch of uptight too good for their job people there was some homeless people there waiting for the bathroom a lady kept yelling at him did you pay for your water did you pay for your drink I mean come on first of all let's water you guys make a lot of money I would think if anybody a homeless person could have a drink of water without you badgering them about whether or not they paid second of all I found an item in your dress department with no tag when I gave it to the lady at the register she came back with probably the highest price you probably could you guys get this stuff for free I mean come on and she was rude about it like if I took the tag off myself which I didn't I left the dress cuz I wasn't going to pay her price and I probably will never be back I think your store has bad energy bad heart and I hope you guys close
