Stumbled upon this shop and it was awesome! They have so much stuff, you'll find anything you need for your kitchen. They're second hand goods at an affordable price and they are a good cause also. There were so many cool mugs, dishes, pots, pans, utensils, even coffee makers, instant pots, toaster ovens and more. It was also 50% off on a lot of things for Father's Day. We got a cool coca cola pitcher for $10. They also have a table in the middle to take a break and paint rocks. You can take it home or add to their garden outside. Outside, they also had a shelf for free items. And lastly, complimentary chocolate chip cookies they seemed to have just baked! read more

This is such a great concept. They have everything you could possibly need for your kitchen and then some. It's a great way to keep old kitchen items out of the landfill and give them a new life. Plus, the proceeds go to kitchens for good. The amount of items is a bit overwhelming. Some items are gathered together but most are spread out throughout the store. It's a bit of a treasure hunt. I would definitely come back for the hunt if I needed something in particular and had time to sort through the vast amount of items. read more

A favorite kitchen goods store of mine! You can find everything here. Honestly their selection is amazing and they have constant product turnover over as items quickly sell and they receive so many items to sell. Most merchandise is wonderful quality and lasts for a reason. Great to go to for starting out after a fresh move too! They have wonderful tag color day sales too, so if something is out of budget you can always wait until said tag color day to score a deal. The staff here is incredibly welcoming and kind! Everyone is extremely knowledgeable too, so if you have any questions, they definitely will help to find the answers. Also they have their own parking lot, in PB too, so it's definitely easy to get here! read more

Great staff and store. So many options and quality items. You can pull easily spend two hours browsing.

We came for the Microenterprise outdoor food hall in the parking lot that happens every third Sunday of the month. We picked up coffee, banana chocolate chip bread, fried catfish and tamales from each of the vendor. We skipped the cheesecake and bread vendor. Few round tables under a tent in the middle. After we ate, we went inside the store. The store sells gently used kitchen items, even dining tables! Very clean, organized and great stuff! If you're eyeing something, wait for the discount days. Depending on the day/week they have 50% off tags. Today was green tag. Monday (senior) and Tuesday (military) gets 15% discount. They have candle making class on Wednesday 2-3pm. Seems like for retired folks because I'm not sure how someone with a 9-5 job could attend these workshops like myself. All sales support Kitchen for Good that offer apprenticeships culinary and baking programs. Don't forget to check out volunteer opportunities. read more

If you need something for your kitchen, this is the place to go to first. They have a wide selection of tools, small appliances, pots and pans, baking materials and more! I found something with a red tag and received 50% off! The people there are very nice. They have cookies, water and coffee available for customers. Classes like candle making are offered in the back of the store. We went to three thrift stores that day and this was our favorite. read more

One of my favorite spots in Pacific Beach. I've outfitted most of my kitchen with unique pieces from here at really great prices. Lots of full sets to choose from so you don't need to mix and match. They also host GREAT events (markets, candle making classes, cooking classes). The cooking classes are top notch. Mary kindly hosted my company for a candle making class at the PB store and it was a hit. Everyone got to pick their own vessel and customize colors and scents. All the creations turned out beautiful and smelled amazing. Was a wonderful team building experience. Highly recommend! read more

What a great concept! I came in to browse and was greeted by a friendly associate. They have literally everything you could need and some color tag specials for deals so you can get some great values. I loved the dining chairs that were on display. Selection of linens and glassware was on point. I got a potholder and a little dish I'm using for soap. Nice mission to keep things out of our landfills! I'll be back to donate and get a fresh baked cookie! read more

Today KFG shop went from 5 stars to a 4. Apparently they got a new person pricing items because prices are about 20% since I was last there. Prices are now too high imo. Lots of interesting stuff to be sure. But I bought nothing - everything I was looking for I was able to get at Home Goods for less money than I would have spent at the KFG shop and it was new not used. The free cookies are really good though. read more

My daughter took me to this adorable little thrift shop, small vendors inside selling theri goods on every 1st Sunday of the month, and vendors in the parking lot and live music. We found some beautiful Christmas plaid napkins, cookie cutters, and cookie tins. Wonderful selection, fabulous customer service amd the prices weren't too bad. read more

Great staff, great volunteers, great deals. A wonderful place for the neighborhood. Fun on special days with the Great food.

A picnic table!!! Im so excited about my score at the shop this week end. Being July 4th weekend, they have their half off sale. Such a quality selection. I'm going to thank the people who donate here!! Such unique stuff. I've been looking for patio furniture for 2 years but kept waiting for something unique. This picnic table, custom made to donate to the store is perfect. Thank you to the maker, it is in great company with pets, friends and other custom made tables. The cooking classes are also discounted - they are so fun. read more

I went here to donate a pressure cooker I was too scared to try! This place has everything you need to start cooking or stock your kitchen! What I plan to do is go and get cute holiday items, use them, and then donate them back to them or goodwill. I don't have the space to keep a bunch of decorations and holiday plates and dishes. So why not buy them, and then just donate them back? It's a win-win! The staff has always been friendly and offer assistance finding items. The prices are reasonable and everything goes back to their cause. I'm heading back soon to look for a used insta pot so I can try my hand at making homemade yogurt! read more

I'm a kitchen gadget nerd. And my absolute favorite thing to do while is getting groomed is to bring my wish list and go hunting for my latest new interest and avoid Amazon. I always find what I am looking for, like a cherry stem pitter when I wanted to make my own luxardo cherries. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Love love this place. read more

They get donations, but yet all the good stuff is priced almost as much as it would actually cost to just go buy brand new so I'm not sure why they call themselves kitchen for good because they're not really helping out the community at all. The prices are insane. read more

This is the place to go for China sets and gently used appliances. Whenever I go to PB, I have to take a gander.

such a great shop!! everyone who works here is so nice, the deals are great! and they have a great selection of secondhand items :))

I loooove coming to Kitchens for Good Shop in PB!! Not only are you supporting a great organization, but the selection and the quality of the kitchenware sold here is great and all with traditional thrift store prices! Highly recommend coming in with time to explore as the store is huge and has so many things to peruse - silverware, cutting boards, baking items, machines like espresso machines, waffle makers, kitchen decor, etc. etc. Each time I've come in the staff are always so welcoming, kind, and attentive, and you even get to have a fresh baked goodie from one of their own cooks - which btw, are always SO delicious I got a white chocolate cranberry cookie that was perfection! read more

If you are buying your kitchen supplies anywhere else but in this nicely curated thrift in Pacific Beach, you are paying too much! To think that their highly skilled manager can take donated goods and display them better than local department stores speaks to the talent and dedication Mary (the manager) gives to her job. They have frequent sales too and offer weekly discounts to military and seniors. Be sure to bring your donations too! They appreciate everything! P.S. Sign up for their cooking classes! Chef Therese is a jewel and such a great instructor! read more

Just the best for finding anything for your kitchen needs and helps the community to boot. A great place to shop and even better if you donate your unwanted or unused goods. read more

Don't hesitate to- if you have an opportunity to visit, do. it! They have amazing values in kitchen goods. And it's all in a good cause, so easily justified. They also rent kitchen equipment and goods. Who wouldn't want to rent an entire tea party set rather than having to purchase and store it? Such a terrific place! read more

Love kitchen tools/love thrifting/love excellent customer service. All three can be found in PB at Kitchens for Good.

GREAT SELECTION, great prices, excellent helpful friendly staff, amazing discounts, one of a kind items! This place has an insane amount of high end quality 2nd hand products at a steal of a price. They even have amazing nostalgic & vintage items you haven't seen in 40 years for very fair prices. I absolutely love this store and HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who spends a lot of time in their kitchen and wants quality items that look great at a very affordable cost read more

Helping out a great non-profit while shopping for cookware at awesome prices? Count me in! I had the pleasure of attending Kitchens for Good SHOP's pre-launch party today, and it was a wonderful experience. The store feels open and airy while still being full of fantastic deals on kitchenware, appliances, dishware, linens, and even cookbooks. Most items are grouped by color, and the displays are well arranged for easy browsing. Being a skilled home cook who loves pretty dishes and useful cookware and gadgets means my kitchen is pretty well stocked, but I still ended up getting several great pieces including a shaped metal Italian bread pan for $2 (retails for almost $30 online), a beautiful solid wood serving tray ($3), a few glass bowls, and two large round cake pans. I spotted several beautiful baskets, tablecloths, and pots including an All-Clad sauce pan, but I passed since I couldn't justify the space or purpose. They also had a new KitchenAid mixer for sale, many bread machines, and several panini press/electric griddles for sale. Everything is so well priced that it's hard not to buy more than you need/want. All items being sold have been donated, and proceeds support Kitchens for Good programs. Those worthwhile initiatives include reducing food waste as well as a culinary apprenticeship program which trains people impacted by homelessness, foster care, and former incarceration culinary skills so that they can move on to self-sustaining roles in the food and restaurant industry. For the opening today, Kitchens for Good SHOP had a spread of small bites prepared by their culinary team. I had a chance to speak to the executive chef named Ryan. He told me that they regularly prepare 2,000 meals a day and recently had cooked a special meal for several dozen Afghan refugees. They aimed to create Afghan "comfort food" for this meal and even purchased Halal meat from a local Afghani-owned business so they could support Afghani individuals from start to finish. How cool is that?! I am going to look through my kitchen and start collecting donations for Kitchens for Good SHOP. And that means I'll have more space for a few new finds from the shop, too. Win-win all around! read more

Highly recommended! I wasn't sure what to expect, but Kitchens for Good wildly exceeded my expectations!!! It's part Sur La Table back in the day and part thrift store treasures and tons of widgets, gadgets, appliances, stemware, tureens and whatchamathingees. I purchased some ---purposely---mismatched plates and really appreciated the high quality Transferware, vintagey goodies and friendly Staff. If these folx are volunteers, well good lard!!! Fantastic shopping experience start to finish. I'm even considering going back again tomorrow since there were a few other things haunting me! read more

Vintage items in perfect condition, but really expensive . Service is great ! But I won't buy there anymore!! Sorry

The best thrift shop I have ever been to. This one, as the name indicates, is all about kitchen apparel, no clothing or other items. Everything is super well organized by colors, lots of things but very tidy, neat and clean and not that funky smell you get at the usual Goodwills. You will get lots of dishes from the designers famous in the 70s, i read several names that I am familiar with. So don't expect super cheap, real vintage should not be. All the items are donated by people from PB as the woman at the counter told me and the money goes to a good cause as this is a non profit. Oh! And check the mural artwork...that was got me inside the store. I thought it was a produce shop. Oh well, cool enough! read more

This is a wonderful non-profit and I totally recommend it! I only wish we had one in Henderson, NV! I also took one of their cooking classes and it was amazing! The chef was top-notch and I also recommend that to everyone!! Check it out you won't be sorry you did. read more

My favorite parts of thrift store hunting, condensed and curated into a magical store designed just for me, lol! I spent less than $40 and came home with 5 amazing cookbooks worth more than $120 retail plus a couple kitchen accessories. Run entirely by volunteers and relying 100% on community donations, this place is very well run by joyful volunteers who love giving! Not only is it an excellent place to shop, they also provide classes for people who are looking for employment in the food industry after experiencing homelessness, prison and other debilitating circumstances. What a wonderful opportunity to do some good! I will definitely be shopping for all my kitchen needs and non-needs (haha) in the future. read more

Where food changes lives, WOW! I was thrilled to learn all proceeds go toward their culinary program. I feel good donating my many non- used kitchen items. Love to look around. A must visit & they have parking! read more

Kitchens for good is a great place to find gently used kitchen wares, retro kitchen wares and everything from linens to cookbooks. The proceeds go to a great cause in helping people get trained for jobs. Check out their cooking classes. Love this place ! Chef Gail read more

Great cause. Great deals. Everyone wins at Kitchens for Good. KFG is a non-profit organization with many missions: Project Launch: An apprenticeship program with an 85% success rate of job placement in the culinary and hospitality industry. Project Reclaim: Prepares and markets imperfect produce. Project Nourish: Prepares and delivers nutritious meals to children, the elderly, and the unsheltered. Project Kitchen: Provides employment for Project Launch graduates. You can help fund these enterprises by shopping at their Pacific Beach store. You'll find all kinds of gently-used quality kitchen and dining items at great prices. Each visit is like a treasure hunt because they get donations on a daily basis. My wife bought a pristine Crate and Barrel crystal punch bowl the last time we visited. Did we need a punch bowl? Who cares? It's beautiful and now we have an excuse to make some Fish House Punch or try a new recipe. I'll bet you have some kitchenware gathering dust that you don't use. Come on down, give it to KFG, and buy something that you'll really like. Their deals can't be beat and you'll be helping your community. read more

The selection was vast. I think i circled the store 5 times. So much to see and so many amazing quality items. I found a vitamix for a very reasonable price. Customer service was great and very friendly. I will be back. read more

What a lovely place to go! I saw this store on a "best places to thrift" in San Diego. My friend and I went in and loved it! She was looking for a bundt pan and found many to choose from. I was looking for pot holder handle type things that you use when you have stainless steel pot handles, I didn't find exactly what I was looking for, but I did buy four pot holders and am making my own heat resistant handle covers, so a win in my books. I also found a nice, new and unused ninja container that has these cool baffles that help mix smoothies around. Perfect! I use my ninja every day. They were having a sale and I got an "Easter egg" that had 50% off! Bonus and even better, store made chocolate chip cookies were for free as we checked out. Someone must have been making them as we shopped because it smelled great in there. I didn't occur to me to take pictures, but the ones that other people shared are spot on. The store has friendly people, well placed and curated merchandise and PARKING! Go visit! read more

Kitchens for Good now has a shop in Pacific Beach.

They are focused on sustainability and reducing food waste. Their new store in Pacific Beach is spacious with its own parking lot with plenty of parking spots, right off of Hornblend and Cass. The shop sells high quality, gently used kitchen and dining items at unbeatable prices, and the best part is that 100% of the proceeds going towards the Kitchen for Goods' programs. Items include upscale kitchenware, cookware and bakeware, unique cintage pieces, small batch food products hand-crafted by the Kitchen for Goods apprentices, kitchen appliances, and more! They have done such a great job of making the store look super cute and I LOVE how it's organized by color. You can also drop off donations at the Kitchens for Good shop from Tuesday-Sunday 10am-6pm. Every donation and purchase helps transform lives, nourish the community and reduce waste! read more

Love this place! One of my favorite secondhand shops to peruse every once in a while - especially because they often have markdowns. Everything is high quality and clean (no weird odor or dusty surfaces like a lot of other thrift stores). I highly recommend doing a couple of laps around the store because there's so much to look at and the displays they set up are so cute. I have always found the employees to be friendly and helpful. As a bonus, the profits go to a good cause so you can feel even better about your purchase :) read more

As someone who frequents thrift stores just to look for kitchen supplies, this place is a dream. Everyone is beyond nice and helpful. I bought 3 bowls, a serving plate, a baking dish with a lid and some odd utensils and because of their sale, it was only $31. And they have raised gardens out front where they allow you to pick ripe veggies. I'm obsessed. read more

What a fun store! This is a non-profit "thrift store" for cookware, kitchen tools, dining items...anything that involves cooking and eating. Some prices are really good, but others are a tad high: one mug (which I recognized as an Anthropology item) that caught my eye was priced at $7 or $8. The items are all donated, high quality, and beautifully arranged. The helpful staff will be happy to help you locate anything you may be looking for. And, you may even get a freshly baked cookie, as they bake them in the back of store, the enticing aroma wafting throughout the store. Ample parking. Weekly sale. If you don't find what you want, check back in a week! read more

Amazing store, products, staff, and purpose! I have heard of Kitchens for Good previously. For those not familiar with the organization, they are a nonprofit providing free culinary, baking, and hospitality programs for individuals facing societal and economic challenges. When I heard that the program was opening a used-goods kitchen store, I had to check it out! I was pleasantly surprised to arrive and find that Kitchens for Good Shop has its own parking lot! This was a relief for those familiar with Pacific Beach. I entered and was pleasantly overwhelmed by the size of the store. It's a huge space displaying all kinds of kitchenware from utensils to dinnerware sets to appliances. I browsed the store for at least half an hour, wanting nearly every item but knowing I don't have enough space or need for all of the gorgeous plates and cool appliances. One staff member, I wish I had caught her name, was incredibly helpful and friendly. She was also baking fresh chocolate chip cookies in the back that are free at the front counter! I came in for a knife sharpener ($6 for a honing rod, $2-$20 for the blade sharpeners) but also left with a $6 Pyrex bowl. Some other outstanding items I saw were multiple bread makers, a KitchenAid mixer, dozens of dinnerware sets with beautiful plates and cups, assorted knives and individually sold cutlery, some furniture, and crystal dishes. They also had a good selection of seasonal items including glass pumpkin plates and Christmas dinnerware. My favorite part of thrifting is finding items rather than clothes, so this store is perfect for me! All of their profits support the Kitchens for Good Programs providing technical training to apprentices and partnering them with employment opportunities. Additionally, they promote the use of second-hand items. All of the products I saw were in good to great condition, and who doesn't want to save money when it comes to the expensive world of kitchenware! I'm not sure how frequently I'll be back as I don't often need new kitchen items, but I'd return to browse and I'd 100% recommend it to anyone in need of something for their kitchen or dining room. read more
