This is the best thrift store in San Diego! Not only does 96c of every dollar go to a great cause, but the shop is full of great treasures. The prices are so fair and the store is clean. Best kept secret in SD.

Love donating here, love shopping here. Everyone is always helpful and super nice. I’ve never had a problem dropping off out back first thing in the morning, as a previous review had mentioned. Donation process has always been smooth and efficient. My only “complaint” is that many prices ate all over the place snd do things priced pretty outrageously. You could find 2 identical items with wildly different price tags. Either way, I love where the money is going so I’ll happily pay!

Kind staff, clean and organized (by color and size) assortment. Mostly clothes, some homegoods. The “dressing rooms” are curtains on suspended rods. Not the most private but you are fully covered so it works fine. Well priced especially with sales. A few to die for vintage pieces as well. Silk and cashmere sweater, boots, pants, two dresses all for $22 (dresses were half off) will be back for sure

I always drop in when I'm in the neighborhood. Some people complain about the parking, but it's Hillcrest so you have to circle the block a couple of times. The store is worth the effort IMHO. A thrift store is always hit or miss. I love the fact that it gives back to ourcommunity. They get all of donations and my business as well. Well done.
Thank you, Ally! We're thrilled to hear you enjoy visiting us and appreciate the community support. We understand parking can be a challenge, but we're glad you find it worth the effort. Your kind words motivate us to keep giving back. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

My husband and I shop at "Out of the Closet" at least twice a week for their AMAZING prices on stylish clothing, accessories, shoes, books, furniture, and more. Each time we shop there, we are greeted with a warm welcome from the salesperson "Terri". She always makes sure to answer any questions we have and gives terrific suggestions. Terri's bubbly personality and excellent customer service keeps us coming back for more! clDEOR, AN

The staff was very friendly and I loved the selection of items. Wish there were changing rooms or something but a very nice and cool store.
