This location, like all goodwills, can be hit or Miss, but I do have a bit of luck with home goods, furniture, and media (books/dvds/etc) here. The store is really well organized too! Their parking lot has a decent amount of spots so it makes it pretty easy to find parking. Definitely an all around convenient location. read more

Goodwill has gone way down since those glory days . Nothing of real value anymore. They have pre picked all the good stuff including clothes and posted them on their auction website. Staff are like Zombies and the ambiance is dreadful. read more

This location is next to one of the largest most dangerous homeless encampments in San Diego so it's not the safest area. You will run into a lot of people high on drugs wandering around and literally risk your life to give your belongings away. Tried to bring in two small bags of nice dresses and shirts and pants on my way to work. I got out of my car to hand the man standing there my donation and the security came up to me and yelled "We're not open yet!" Others had dropped off items, and the donations man was standing right in front of me. The guard took it a step further and said if you leave those bags here, I'm going to charge you with dumping" It was too early in the morning for me to be threatened with criminal charges just for trying to do a good deed so I do not recommend this location. read more

Stopped by on a Friday evening, spontaneous trip to thrift. Parking lot was tight for bigger cars; decent amount of parking. We were not greeted when we entered, no AC or fan was on except in the very back near the furnitures. My store experienced was less than five minutes, it was really warm and humid inside. Nothing really stood out to me. A few years back, I found stuff but on this trip; it wasn't as great. One thing I noticed, everything was organized and they have a fitting room. read more

This Good will was clean high priced. Had lots of clothes. A few display cases. Its not the smallest and not the biggest Goodwill I been in. Its near the old san diego sports Arena. I would recommend them. I be back some day. Always look for a good deal. read more

Easy and fast the crew as usual did a great job. Thank you all. I will always donate to Goodwill. They are doing a great favor for the community. read more

Prices are too high on most items. An employee, older slender caucasian man with glasses and dried suntanned skin was rude when I was asked him basic questions. He was trying so hard to be unhelpful. read more

I found some plastic shelving at this Goodwill 2 years ago. That is about the only thing worth mentioning that I bought that was a good find, here. It was still $20 each. Also bought a reversible sherpa jacket with pockets, for $15, . I really like it, but then I saw one at Costco, NEW for $10.99. It was on sale, discounted $4. But it was new. Things are cheaper at Salvation Army on Sports Arena. read more

Stopped by today, looking for a piece of art that I could repurpose into something spooky. Did not find what I was looking for, but this Goodwill is very well stocked, clean and organized! They did have quite a bit of Halloween decorations and some really beautiful antique pieces of furniture. I saw a table that was solid wood and had a gorgeous inlay for only $40. It had six chairs with it. The chairs had a couple little things, but totally could've been touched up, or just leave it like it is for the charm! Made me wish I had a space in my home for that. The parking lot is a disaster though. read more

Go to spot for furniture. I got a new IKEA desk for 5 dollars and that's pretty unbeatable. I also find lots of expensive clothes and accessories here. Totally worth the trip, really reflects the point Loma vibe around it. Not a lot of plus sizes which is my only gripe here. read more

This is The Place to go if you have a large quantity of donations. We pulled up in a U Haul, and contrary to other "donation centers" were greeted by several eager helpers, who seemed to view unloading as a competition - who could get the most done the quickest. Awesome. read more

Literally just walked out of this store with my sister and there is a young Asian woman with glasses working there that kept following me around the store while I was shopping. She needs to me more discreet. I did score a pair of designer tennies for $15. I guess I recommend this store if you're not black. read more

It was time to donate some items and we chose goodwill. My children had a lot of nice clothes and shoes that they hadn't used in so long. We also had some small kitchen appliances that we had never used. I know all the stuff donated will go to good use and people will appreciate it. It was easy to donate. We drove thru and dropped off the bags then requested a receipt. That was it!! Will be stopping by again soon. lol read more

Thank you for watching. I've been donating to Goodwill my entire life. My family has, for generations. That ends today. I walked into the Goodwill on Rosecrans to grab a cheap coat -- $12, all raggedy, should've been in the trash, but I wasn't trying to spend money on something I'd only use for a minute. I planned to pass it along to someone in need, like I always do. Then a staff member walks up to the cashier and says: "He's buying that coat, right?" Accusing me of stealing -- over a torn-up coat at a so-called charity? That's when it hit me: This place doesn't serve the people. It profits off poverty. You walk in and see hotel soaps and shampoos -- stolen stuff. No hotel donates toiletries to Goodwill. They give to real nonprofits that distribute directly to the community. And Goodwill? They sell cast-off junk for boutique prices. $15 for old shirts? $25 for hand-me-down coats? Meanwhile, they're paying vulnerable workers barely enough to get high, sleep on the streets, and come back to be treated like machines. If you really want to help: Skip Goodwill. Go straight to the homeless encampments and hand your clothes to someone who needs them. Or head to Salvation Army on Sports Arena, where they offer rehabs, housing, women's shelters, and real compassion. Because Goodwill is no goodwill. It's a joke. A scam. A hee haw haw haw haw. -- Billy P. P.S. it was $12 for a Timberland Fleece Hoodie, maybe she was upset I found her find, she may have marked it for $11.99, while no brand sold for $24.99. I donated the penny to a lie of the Goodwill' to round up, read more

Lots of men's wear, not a ton of women's wear. Parking here is a nightmare almost every day. Not the thrift store with tons of hidden gems.

Manager super rude!!! They changed the manager, and now the store has a super rude one. The prices are absolutely absurd--so expensive!

It's a clean place. They have a lot of things besides clothing. It's an ok place but I like the smaller Goodwills that have more random, personalized pants. But it's nice if you need something that's inexpensive. read more

Marjorie was super nice and helpful she went out of her way to help me, what a wonderful employee, she made a great impression on me, please keep hiring great people like her, I will always support Goodwill, thanks to people like Marjorie, great job Marj!! read more

Tried to purchase a tote bag that clearly came as a set with matching organizer; same color, same material, obviously intended to be sold together. However, Mike from Goodwill wanted to separate the items, stopped the line took it to the back to increase the price, which felt unreasonable and ridiculous considering the item comes together as a set. read more

Probably the best goodwill I've found in san diego so far. Clothes from Lauren Ralph Lauren new with tags. White House Black Market, same. Zara, ditto. You're not going up find Chanel here but it's pretty decent if you look, and his quality with a high upkeep of the cleaning of the store. I appreciate it. read more

If you don't mind driving thru some shady parts of town and scrambling to find a place to park, then you will LOVE this store. We went as a group of 4 women, and each of us came out with amazing finds at better prices than any L.A. store(s) read more

A little time to kill so I searched for the nearest thrift store and this popped as #1. Its size is deceiving when looking from the outside, but I've seen smaller. I didn't expect to find anything to buy but wanted to check them out anyway. And the joke is on me: this place is HUGE! Okay, so I didn't think the structure next to the parking lot was also theirs (it looked like it was for another business on the other side.) And oh, how clean is this entire place! Staff here take their jobs seriously. They take the time to decorate the tops of their shopping racks, they organize all their items for ease of shopping (kitchen ware, electronics, sports area, etc.) It couldn't be easier to find stuff! And what I liked most is they color coordinated all the shirts! What?!?! Never seen that in ANY thrift store! I ended up buying almost $25 worth of things I didn't think I needed (okay, I didn't need them, but I really wanted them!) As of 4/17/2021, THEY ARE HIRING. If I lived close, I prolly would have applied for a part-time post. Cashiers were friendly. I loved this visit. Keeping them in mind should I find myself with time when I'm around this 'hood... read more

Came here with a friend for some thrifting on a Sunday morning. This location is in the heart of Point Loma and fairly big compared to other Goodwills in SD. Giving 3 stars because of the prices. Most Goodwills are overpriced in general since thrifting has been trending up and this location wasn't an exception. However, this location is very organized to the other Goodwills I've shopped in. All of the clothes and accessories are in the front half of the store while the home decor/furniture and miscellaneous reside in the back half. Great variety of stock and it rotates often enough, just don't expect to get the best deals. read more

Big selection and they really do a nice job making displays of the items. I was there during holidays and they had a special section with all the sparkly/holiday clothing plus lots of endcaps with holiday items. The prices here are kind of steep compared to other thrift stores. However, overall, I would say the quality of the items is nicer. Staff is friendly always provides a warm greeting when you come in. We have also donated here in the past and the donation team is friendly and helpful and tells you how to organize sort/items. read more

I had a trunk full of goodies to drop off. I didn't even have to go inside the store, a gentleman came to my car with a laundry tote and took them all from me. Super helpful and convenient. Super impressed. read more

Love coming to this Goodwill store. They've got a great selection that seems to be always rotating out. I find some great things every time. Friendly employees. read more

Huge book selection. And their DVD collection is just as impressive. This is where I actually bought my first used Blu-Ray movie ever. It was The King's Speech, which was a steal at $5. What I didn't like was its limited puzzle and games selection. But that's variable with Goodwill stores. Some places have a great selection, and others barely have any. Plus, the layout of the store is a bit... odd. I do like the store's drive-thru dropoff points outside. You don't have to park to drop off stuff, which is ideal due to the growing homeless population that has set up camp down the street from the store. read more

Besides being completely overpriced ($7 for a T-shirt?!), this Goodwill does not even honor their own price tags. I found a dictionary with a price tag that said "$.99". I brought it to the register and the woman said, "this is actually going to be $1.99, we usually write a zero for 99¢ items. Is that okay?" I of course said no and that the price clearly didn't have a one in it. I was going to use the dictionary in my class with my first graders but the lady let me walk out instead of honoring the price. I won't be back to this location, all over $1... read more

I believe in the mission of Goodwill, but was disappointed with my latest experience there. They have a very convenient drive thru area to drop off donations. Two cars were unloading donations with staff and I was the next in line, so I got out of my car to begin gathering and organizing my things. One of the workers saw me and said, "Geez. Be patient and wait your turn." He continued to make comments about me as I approached the area. I was trying to ensure that I was ready by the time they got to me so I was a little off put by this interaction. I want to recognize that I'm sure they deal with a lot of inpatient people, but when you're trying to provide donations for the store, it can be really off putting to be verbally talked down to. The store itself has some good finds. The prices aren't always a bargain like you'd expect, but you can find some hidden gems that people have given away! read more

The workers at the donation center are wonderful. They help unload the car and carry heavy boxes of donations with ease. They are pleasant and appreciative, as I work to clear out a family home. I also love the store, which has fantastic merchandising and a really big selection of all types of clothing, shoes, and household items. They have a showcase as you come in the door, which holds really lovely items that make great gifts. Just praising this industry for employing such great people and offering such wonderful prices. They help us all recycle, reuse and even repurpose. Thanks to all for helping keep items out of the trash and into new homes! read more

Goodwills are already pretty pricey as is, but since this one is in a newer building it seems that they believe the items should be priced higher for some reason. I frequent numerous goodwills every single week as I resell clothing full-time. This is the first Goodwill I've ever been to where every single men's t-shirt was $6. Usually they are priced at $4, sometimes $2, but $6 was pretty ridiculous to slap on every item. I also scanned the outerwear and button up shirts, but they are also priced too high. This store is a prime example of what all other goodwills are doing. Even though all their clothes are donated to them they are slowly raising the prices on everything, which ends up causing a lot of people to pass on stuff. This leads Goodwill to toss out cart fulls of clothes every week when the price tag color changes. If they honestly just marked everything down 20 to 30%, they'd be selling out the wazoo and cause less clothes to be thrown in landfills. The employees were very kind and professional, so the stars that I'm giving on this review are for them. Goodwill gets 0 stars. read more

This place was the bomb. I used to get brand new clothes from some person up Rosecrans hill that would clean out their closet and dump brand new stuff, in my size, in my brand - it was heaven!! Today I did not go look for clothes but I found they opened up another half-a-Room. they're crazy thinking I'll pay $2.95 for paper storage boxes that are old, stained and ripped. cute patterns but no not cute for $3. no way. this location is in NO WAY a Handicap Friendly location. there should be a button on the outside so that people in a wheel chair can tap the button and enter the door : they can't be forced to pull open a door with one hand while steering their wheel chair with the other: crazy. There's always a place to find parking in this area: midway/point loma. and when you're done you can go get dinner :) noodle house, generic italian, Mexican , chinese, even chuck e. cheese. its all here. .but. .no bargains on fresh items. WHAT HAPPENED TO LIGHTLY USED?! nothing intrigued me enough to slow down my shuffle. laterz read more

It's almost Halloween and I'm trying to find some inspiration for a costume. I notice what's hanging in the windows so I stop in. I didn't have much luck on costume pieces...so discouraging, but I found a well organized store with a wide variety of offerings from clothes, housewares, and around the corner there were some framed pictures and books. There's other random items from guitars and mugs to bobbleheads or other knickknacks that could be sold to collectors on eBay for nearly tens of dollars. No clothes or Halloween costume tonight. My final purchase was a couple of new overstock Energy Star 2-pack light bulbs at 99 cents each. Go green! This Goodwill store is great for a motivated bargain hunter or treasure seeker hoping to stumble upon an uncommon item of interest. read more

Came to drop off a microwave that is broken and won't ever get repaired but was told they take e waste. Was told only counter top microwaves ? It's broken sane as any counter top just has less sheet metal. The employee took it and placed it on the roof of my car? Pretty weird. I don't guess they know what e waste is and how they recycle it; not resell but reclaim and keep out of landfills read more

I shop at goodwill very often for the deals. Considering the company gets stuff for FREE 8km not sure as to why I find name brand used items marked up 3x the RESALE amount. I know everyone is looking to make money but this specific location has up charge that's like no other goodwill I've seen. Not to mention the employees that talk about the customers at the cash register. Very unprofessional. read more

On one of our first vacation days in the city, we started by going thrift shopping all over the place. One of our favorites was this Point Loma Goodwill. I loved hearing Kristine's memories of this location; it was fun to return together. This location is easy to find off Rosecrans Street and offers parking nearby and in the back. This is also a large donation center, with drive thru services behind, just pull in and drop off. The entrance is in the front; it's a very nice building with high ceilings and kept very clean and organized. The main room has the collectibles and clothing all around. Men's clothing is to the right in a separate area of the building. At the back of this section is outdoor items, toys, games, and home items. At the back of the main room is a hallway to the right which has: exercise equipment, furniture, artwork, and a library room with more furniture and books neatly organized on shelves around the perimeter. Prices here were excellent; it was hard for us to limit our amount! My treasure here: complete like-new RISK Lord of the Rings for $5. read more

This is one of my favorite goodwills in San Diego. It is very large and a lot to look at, which is what I personally like. The clothing is reasonably priced (for a goodwill) I like all their miscellaneous things, they have a lot of wall decor that is actually really inexpensive compared to the clothing. They have a lot of furniture too that is usually in very good shape. The book selection is great as well. The clothing section is huge and there's always lots of things to find. Also a very good selection of purses and designer things in the cases. Very nice store. read more
