    They POSITIVELY need to Double Bag " Beadable Items " !!!…read more I love this li'l THRIFT STORE, and Especially the " Charitable Causes ' they Support ' !!! Have been shopping wiith them since the Mid '90's in SF !!! Also am not too crazy about the Goodwill in El Cerrito which leaves this Store to browse, Re-use & Re-Cycle !!!!!! Luckily the Cashier warned me to be Extra Careful as I exited the Store having bought 2 Ceramic Plates and 2 Bowls... Maybe Taller Grocery type Handled " Paper Bagd would be Ideal.... From what I've been hearing from merchants locally ' Berkeley has Banned PLASTIC Shopping Bags !!! Their Wares and the Selection are Awesome although ' QUITE STEEP PRICES ' on Used Crockery I thought. Selections are Always Quite Charming & I do hope the Store remains in Business !!!!!! Am a Senior with a DISABILITY, and arriving home the Paper Bag Tore Badly even as I went to retrieve it from the Floorboard of My Car !!! Was a Chore tryin' to " Ascend a Flight of about 12 wooden risers and Guarding the Contents !!! He was kind and thoughtful enough to ask if I'd like the " Crockery " wrapped in Newspaper !!! The 10% Senior Discount helps a lot !!!!! Five Stars for "" SELECTION & 3 for Packagong Breakables = 4 STARS !!! Workers are " Always Polite " !!!!!!

    The best thrift store in a way. Got some important clothes here this decade and they have stuff in…read moremy price range. Also it's right by North Berkeley! Check it out if you can.

    **So...once again...my review was removed...** Why? Hurt feelings?…read more As I discovered this...it only gave me more incentive to address this business again...5 years later...what for? Racism. So yelp...don't have a cow...plenty of reviewers have cited racism by literally using the term "racism" in their reviews on yelp when they review other businesses...and their reviews are still up for all to read...Stop removing my honest, truthful reviews - you want an honest community...then let your reviewers speak truth, .racism exists, and plenty of yelpers call it out: In 2020 I entered Sotto Voce... in the neighborhood I grew up in, a resident of this same neighborhood since 1968 in the Thousand Oaks Neighborhood, of Berkeley, CA...daughter of a physician, and mother a nurse...all three of us hold degrees from UC Berkeley - or "Cal," as we refer to this institution of higher learning, which most people are fully aware...and 4 siblings, one who attended Cal, and the other 3 were admitted to Cal, but attended other universities... Now...back to 2020 (BTW...my daughter was given admission to every single UC...including Cal...and a full Regent's Scholarship to her choice of UC...not based on financial need, but based on academic merit...just to give this business owner an understanding that one should not offend someone and make assumptions because other people of color may have injured your sensibilities once upon a time). And...don't demean the youth of any race or age who frequent your business either...clearly you have issues. Otherwise post a sign saying "Youth not welcome." That's sarcasm...or is it... I was with my elderly mom, and daughter...daughter who is Black...and dropped them off at Sotto Voce to do Christmas shopping, as I went about to find a parking spot on busy Solano Avenue...both my daughter and mom entered Sotto Voce together. Upon my entering this business, I saw my daughter at the back of the store, doing her Christmas shopping, as my mom was at the front of the store looking at jewelry in the front glass case....what I witnessed was: A caucasian woman walking behind my daughter's every step her eyes locked in on my kid...and was no less the 3 feet from her...my daughter saw me enter and gave me a look...when I stepped closer, not saying a word to anyone, the woman departed my daughter and went back to the front...where my mom was ALL ALONE. My mom is white. I knew the expression on my daughter's face, and what was going on...The woman had zero idea that I was w/ my daughter and mom...I immediately turned around, and walked up to the front of the store where my mom was, and this woman, greeted me like I was her best pal...hmmmm....she had no idea I witnessed her profiling my kid, and no idea she herself was at that moment speaking to another Black woman...yeah, it's like that. My daughter later told me what happened from the very beginning...that this woman was "on her from the moment she stepped into this store." I proceeded to drop a good $225.00 for Christmas gifts, and did not address this woman because not frequenting her business any longer speaks louder, and my elderly mother was present, and both my daughter and I were trying to have a nice day with her...we just want this woman to understand that if she is the owner, or if she's not... Black people know when others are acting irrationally...we are a well established BLACK family from your business's neighborhood...so please don't assume my kid was looking to steal from you...you have offended three generations of Berkeley residents in one fell swoop...who really have nothing more to say to you...this review stands. You made a great kid feel like she doesn't belong in your store...and traumatized her...and frankly, she's too good for for your store. She's such a great kid, she had no problem w/ me spending money in your store...because we don't hate...we speak the truth...but not with hate. She found a few things her grandmother loved (my mom) and we were not going to allow such an experience ruin our day. In a quiet voice (sotto voce) we will never, ever patronize your business again... The End.
