    Got some great items at such a great price. Nice people work there. Thrifting is a fun thing to do. It is a small venue.

    TLDR: I booked a solo appointment and the girls helped me out so much, I felt very relaxed and just…read morehad fun trying on dresses, most gowns were under 1000 but some needed significant repair, unexpectedly found and bought my dress! I had gone to one other traditional boutique and felt a little rushed because I hadn't had time to browse the racks before my appointment and didn't know what kind of style I wanted. So the more laidback vibe of BFAC was appealing to me as I wanted to peruse at my leisure and I was able to try on any style dress I wanted. I booked a solo appointment so I could just try on what I wanted, but not having someone there to help with zipping up made me a little slower with the dresses. The girls were able to help with zipping and clipping when I needed it. I was able to try on 8 different dresses (of varying degrees of condition). Most dresses were priced under 1000 but I did see many that had broken zippers/ripped seams/sold as is that would need repair. I ended up going a bit over my appointment time but the girls were so gracious in giving me more time, probably because I was there alone. Also I'm normally a 4 in street size but they recommended sizing up so I was looking at dresses between 6-8 which they had significant stock of. I stumbled on an absolute GEM of a dress that was a sample by Maggie Sottero. It was the second dress I had tried and it fit like a glove, was in pristine condition, and was so beautiful. The girls were so nice in hyping me up. I felt so pretty and comfortable in the dress but I didn't have the wow moment or tears so I was actually unsure if that was "my dress" but they were able to hold it for me for 24 hours. The hold was nice but stressful for me because I wanted more time to think about it (which is the nice thing about traditional stores that have normal stocked designers where you can try on a dress and return weeks to months later and still be able to buy it, but if I didn't buy this one, there wasn't a guarantee it would be there again next time). I ended up going back the following day (no appointment needed) to try it on again and styled it in different ways to see what alterations I would want and I realized I would be devastated if I passed on it and would regret not getting it right then. When I was paying for the dress, the girls actually said they had just gotten the dress in too so if you don't find a dress initially, check back again because it seems their stock rotates frequently and you might be able to find a really good quality dress for a fraction of the cost (I ended up saving 70% of the retail cost at BFAC).

    So fun!!! Felt so supported by worker Brooke and got so much advice…read more I loved this journey and recommend to everyone !!! I found my dress

We were urgently searching for a reliable hauling service to help us remove an enormous amount of clothing, shoes, and accessories--all intended for donation. After a full day of searching, we found Kreg's Hauling, and thank goodness we did. From the very first call, Scott was responsive, understanding, and professional. He made the drive from Encinitas to San Diego multiple times--four trips total--and hauled away over 150 heavy bags, each easily weighing between 75 to 100 pounds. The physical effort alone was extraordinary, but what made Scott truly stand out was his compassion and sensitivity. This was not just any job. The homeowner is a family member who is living with dementia, and emotions were high. Scott was polite, respectful, and incredibly considerate throughout the entire process. He treated our family and our situation with dignity, something that mattered to us deeply. In a situation that could have felt chaotic and overwhelming, Scott's presence brought a sense of calm, professionalism, and humanity. I can't recommend Kreg's Hauling enough--especially for jobs that require not just muscle, but also heart. Thank you, Scott! You were a lifesaver for us! Please forgive my delay in getting this review done!

    I'm a long-time supporter of Father Joe's Villages thrift store at the Washington Avenue location…read morein Hillcrest. Recently, I drove to the La Mesa store with a car full of donations during a very heavy rainstorm. I pulled up to the marked donation drop-off door but was told I could not park there and needed to move across the lot, get a cart, and bring everything in myself. I explained that i was not parking, I am handicapped and offloading since it was pouring rain, but was still told no. I ended up leaving without donating or shopping. As a loyal supporter of FJV, I was very disappointed by the lack of understanding and outright rudness.

    Father Joe's Villages Thrift Store has a beautiful selection, and I have come across some real gems…read morehere. The quality of the items is impressive, and the store is well organized, which makes browsing enjoyable. That said, the pricing feels more like a boutique than a thrift store. While I understand that proceeds go toward a good cause, I often leave empty‑handed because the prices are just too high for what I'd expect at a thrift. For me, part of the joy of thrifting is finding something wonderful and feeling like I scored a bargain -- not like I overpaid. If you don't mind paying a lot more, you'll likely find unique and quality pieces here. But if you're hunting for that classic thrift‑store bargain, be prepared that prices may not match the typical thrifting experience.
