Captain's Helm

Love the atmosphere. Always find the best vintage clothes. Great customer service.

Fab store and super helpful staff. Love this place and highly recommended ! Love from the UK

Awesome vintage collection. If you like vintage stores this is a must. Very reasonable prices.

I was refused service at Revolution coffee next door, due to kindly declining wearing a mask that the employee had touched and presented to me. I was told I could not order a coffee so I decided to walk over to the Captains Helm. And thank God I did, their coffee is amazing and their employees are very kind. As I was ordering from the window counter I caught site of the adorable store that was inside - looks like something out of a store in Australia called 1924us that I’d love to visit. Very chic, classic Cali surf vibe, and fun vintage wear with modern home nicknacks. There is outdoor seating and a few indoor stools to sit at the coffee bar. I hate to say that I’m glad that revo refused coffee service to this nurse, but I’m glad that I found an incredible new coffee shop to visit and support. Thank you for not forcing your employees to police their fellow citizens! I’ll be supporting captains helm from here on out.

Captain's Helm is great. My wife also loves it. I have been doing business with them for years and the gal Tara that works there is really nice. I hope they weather the economic Covid storm and keep doing business locally for many more years.

I love this place. I always find something cool there, and their little cafe is great. I've always found their staff to be friendly, and they're usually playing good music which makes it a nice hang. I don't find their prices for used stuff to be high. Frankly, I've gotten some neat old stuff for very reasonable or cheap prices. I love the whole block: Reap and Sow, Revolution roasters etc.... a fun and chill scene.

Look y’all. Don’t come here expecting an Anthropologie level shopping experience and don’t expect Salvation Army prices. This is a CONSIGNMENT store. All of the negative reviews seem to expect otherwise? The experience here is perfect for a consignment store. Employees are nice and helpful and always greet me when I come in and out. I’ve had a lot of success selling quality vintage pieces here at a reasonable buy out rate. I’ve also had a ton of success finding great denim and vintage pieces here. They also have a solid return-for-store-credit policy. Most consignment shops are final sale so it’s super nice! Only thing I wish is that they would check the pieces they bring in a bit more closely for cleanliness/stains/minor damage. Doesn’t happen often, but I have found problems with garments a few times that has changed my mind on purchasing. Other than that, I love it here! Go in with the right expectations for a consignment/resale shop and you won’t be disappointed.

my favorite place! the baristas at their coffee shop are so cool, coffee is SO good, employees are nice, and they have REAL quality vintage stuff. don’t listen to the snobs who write negative reviews because they couldn’t get their coffee when they were trying to close. you can expect to pay $14-16 for a great tee shirt here, around $25 for a pair of vintage levi’s, and they have some new stuff around the store too (great quality bralettes, socks, masks, hats, jewelry, hair accessories, etc). if you like actually thrifting, go here!

Another local spot in South O that is awesome! I don’t know why people complain about the employees because everytime I go In, I am greeted and asked if I need help. This spot is a must see if you’re just visiting! Great SoCal vintage and good prices for most things!

Love the store! Coffee is great and Tara is amazing!
