Comment: I work in HIV and I am pleased about this agency/retailer meeting and giving back to the community in a practical tangible way. The color-coordination and organization is extremely pleasing to the eye, making it much more easy to shop. Items are great quality, it’s clean, and spacious. My kids like thrifting so this is a great choice.

Comment: Not what I was expecting! I figured it was going to be just another high priced thrift store in the city. But, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the prices were AMAZING, and the clothing was in AMAZING condition. Clean and well organized. I found a pair of Levi shorts (maybe worn twice) and my boyfriend and I each found a pair of pants for 30$! Love every piece we found! Will definitely be going back. Shout out to the girl working, Ellen, she was so helpful and just super cool. They even offer an excellent rewards program. Thank you Out of the Closet, for everything that you do for our community.!!

Comment: Ive been coming to this store since Magic Johnson opened it. Even though management is changed quite often severely people are still really nice and they have so much to do even when theyre understaffed but they keep going and its clean there isnt stuff all over the floor and Im glad that they are micromanaging to a degree what people bring in because a lot of people just have nice things in the bag and then junk at the bottom in their stuff with it and its not fair so Im glad that now when you drop off something you have to stand there and theyll tell you what they take and what they dont take and Im proud of that change. And due to Covid there are no dressing rooms anymore..

Comment: Do not miss this spot! What a wonderful thrifting shop - everything is very well picked. All the clothes were new, great qualifying, and clean! The prices were amazing (coming from someone who lives in NYC) the most expensive price I saw was $14. The major downfall is that they don’t have dressing rooms - so I couldn’t select any jeans. The folks that work there are also really kind. And they have a rewards program for every $1 spent. I walked out of there with over 15 pieces of clothes for $60.They’ve also got books and some small home decorations.

Comment: Mostly clothing but a variety of other treasures....a little bit of everything. I noticed a lot of local Oakland stuff. Organized, clean, and fairly priced thrift store. (Ex: jeans were about $10, jackets $12-$18, good condition and quality items...frames and wall art were really reasonably priced). I picked up a framed print for $5 by a local Oakland artist. The employees were pleasant and helpful. Also, the rainbow book wall was mesmerizing.

Comment: A fun and friendly place to shop for unique treasures as well as affordable clothing and home goods. Employees are very nice, there’s always good music playing, and the stock turns over relatively quickly. The shop also has its own convenient, free parking lot.On top of all this, the proceeds go to a good cause and this location regularly offers free HIV testing to the community.

Comment: Was thrilled that a majority of our donations e.g. clothes and a sofa were accepted. They were really surpsie to see the sofa we were donating was in really good condition. I can only imagine the condition of other donations for them to have to say it out loud. Some advice for folks, make sure what you donate is still usable.

Comment: I love this place!! I just found a vintage porcelain jar of the same brand that my husbands parents drink in Sweden. You will NEVER find anything that cool brand new. You never know what kind of story you will stumble on when you go to this place. Plus the staff are SO SOO nice, just lovely humans. Great prices on all used goods. Support re-use. Donate and shop here.

Comment: Plenty of parking right next to their store. Inside the store is bright and clean with clothing and other articles well displayed.The people working here are pleasant and helpful .there are three different teirs if sale items25% 50% and 1$ all discounts are indicated by the color of the price tag on an item. Prices are very reasonable and the quality of clothing and other items is quite nice. This is a worthy cause staffed by caring people. Stop in .its not the largest thrift store nor the smallest They have a nice selection of books resonably priced

From fun clothing pieces and accessories, to good quality workout wear. Spend some time in there and you will save a lot of money!!
