I never walk out of this store without at least one full bag of clothes, shoes and other goodies. The staff are welcoming and fun, and I always get a very fair price for the clothes I drop off (that I turn around and use to buy more clothes!).
Ahhh thank you so much! 🧡 We absolutely love being part of your thrift cycle — it’s the ultimate compliment that you always leave with a full bag and come back with more to share. We’re so glad you feel welcomed and valued here, and we can’t wait to keep the good finds flowing for you! Thanks Kerri!!

WBT is the heart of New Haven community. They have so much to offer like $13 fill a bag sales and a community fund, and genuinely care about this community and their customers. Love WBT!

The most magical, amazing store I've ever been to. The owners and staff are all incredibly kind, helpful and friendly. The atmosphere is incredible, with great music and art. Selection is always changing and has a great variety. Their sizing and sorting methods are unique but provide a much needed improvement to the thrift store experience. They also carry local art, plants, and other products you wouldn't expect from a thrift store. Stop in, you won't regret it!
Thank you so much for this truly magical review! We're so honored to be your favorite store, it means the world to all of us. Our team works hard to make WBT feel like more than just a thrift shop, and it’s so heartwarming to hear that the vibe, variety, and little surprises all landed for you. We’re always evolving, and we’re so lucky to have amazing customers like you along for the ride. Can’t wait to see you again soon! 💫

I have been shopping with WBT since their exclusively online days. They have curated an amazing inclusive community both on and off line- and all of my most favorite thrift finds are from here! I tell everyone I can what wonderful people run this business, how fair the prices are, and how they maintain the highest standards of quality for their inventory.
This means so much to us!!! Thank you for being with us since the very beginning! Watching this community grow, both online and in person, has been such a beautiful journey, and we’re so grateful you’ve been a part of it. Your support, your words, and your trust in what we do truly means the world. Thank you for spreading the word, believing in our mission, and letting WBT be part of your favorite finds 💖

The vibes here are fantastic. WBT is my favorite thrift store. Plenty of witchy, quirky items and sizing that actually makes sense! I love that they're invested in helping their community by holding events and running a community fund (free clothes for people in need). I feel safe here. They're an hour long drive for me and worth every minute. I'd love to see them expand or add a space for studying/co-working/hanging out. Can't wait to visit again!
Thank you so much for this beautiful review! It means everything to hear that you feel safe and seen here, because that’s exactly what we hope to create. We’re honored to be your favorite spot (and so grateful you make that hour-long drive 🖤). Hearing your dream for a co-working/hangout space makes our hearts light up—we love that idea and are always thinking about ways to grow in alignment with community needs. Can’t wait to welcome you back soon!
