Great store to buy antiques and jewelry. All of the staff are volunteers and most of them pleasant and helpful. It's a win - win- win situation for consigners, buyers and Children's hospital! Fun place to shop - many unusual finds. A regular shopper and consignor... read more

in the past six months, say from November 2021 to June 2022 I've seen the prices climb terrifically, as if a new manager swept in and thought that all prices were too low. Pricing sets of silver out at $4,000-$8,000 for example, or sets of European goblets out at $1800 smacks more of the old antique-dealer one-upmanship that we often see at antique shows than a humble offerings of a thrift store dedicated to Children's welfare. The fun of the place had been that one might find true bargains, and I felt that that was in keeping with the nature of the business, a charity for children. This high-falootin' spirit may be contrasted with the demeanor of say, and ARC store, where there is a spirit of mutual helpfulness. Donations lead to fair prices or even bargains, and that in turn brings in lots of revenue. La Cache was never as cheap as ARC of course, nor is the quality of their merchandise equal, but the truth remains that the spirit of the "old place" and old pricing structures are definitely gone. Now, at La Cache, goods sit and sit and sit, which was never the point, never the spirit. There are always ten employees in this small shop at a time, and they can hound you, especially if you drop by in your work clothes, as they suspect you might steal. Being followed is a creepy experience. They now get two stars rather than one, just because they're reportedly in the business of helping children's hospitals. As far as "antiquing" goes, I'm giving up on this spot. Their system of dropping prices in accordance with the amount of time an item has sat unpurchased, is a bit arcane and off-putting. No one lives near this shop, and to try to coordinate travel with their drop-dates on your favorite item, well, it comes off as a bizarre system. This system of three price-drop dates also leads management to price too high at the outset. Really, this outfit sold a lot more when things were priced "to go." As there are many very nice people associated with this enterprise, bringing back a feeling of "sociability" shouldn't be hard. Good luck. We customers appreciate a thrift store with interesting wares above the ordinary pale, but the respect should go both ways. [As I later edited this text--7/16--for the typos which existed, I saw that on the same date, someone countered my every remark in a review. ROFL! I let you folks out there be the judge.] read more

I'm not sure, but the previous reviewer seems to have referred to my own review, as though I was responding to their bad review. I did not even read their review until right now. Let me say that prices at La Cache are slightly higher post-COVID, as is every single item everyone buys-- including at Goodwill, ARC, Safeway, and the gas station. La Cache was closed for several months during COVID, during which time, the store expanded into two new rooms and installed AC (a huge upgrade for buyers). This was expensive, needless to say. It is not true that 10 people are on the floor at one time, or that sales people follow you around. You are greeted when you enter, and offered help if you want it. It is also not true that items sit on the floor forever. Not true. In fact, if you see something you like, buy it or it will probably be gone the next time you look for it. Everyone at La Cache is a volunteer. The store makes a good amount of money for Children's Hospital, and helps people sell their estate items. It's a great store. read more

My partner and I love to visit La Cache. Wonderful antiques, and art and glass and jewelry and furniture and......... The volunteers are kind and helpful. Quality items and some great buy's!! read more

One of my favorite stores in all of Denver. Not only do they have unique and interesting items, that every purchase benefits Children's Hospital. read more

This is such a neat little place. Their sign states fine consignment and they live up to such billing with fine silver, porcelain collectibles, armchairs and more. I arrived on a whim and enjoyed browsing through. It's bookmarked in my mind for unique dining pieces, antique jewelry, and eclectic items that satisfy a whim. Today, for instance, brought a Reuge music box into my life. I think it will make a great present for my mom. I'm not sure if I overpaid according to market value, but it's certainly unique and in great condition. I'll have to return. read more

Non profit consignment shop for antiques and collectibles. 35% goes to Children's Hospital and the shop is staffed by volunteers. They have a lot of nice depression glass, china, jewelry for reasonable prices. Reasonable compared to for profit antique shops and shows, not thrift store prices ;) They also have some furniture, most of it seemed expensive to me, but very nice. Be sure to ask to go into the other store front, that's where the less expensive items are including things that didn't sell in 6 months and are then donated. I've bought stuff there, and I'm now going to try and sell the stuff I inherited and don't want to keep through them. read more

Pricey, but beautiful, classy, elegant selection. Lots of glass. I mean lots. I wanted to find a "pimp goblet" for my boyfriend's birthday. Looked everywhere, but La Cache was the place that had it! If you are an elderly, upper class society woman, you'll love this place. Young teenage boys, not so much. Only three stars because it is just too expensive for my taste. Used items for new prices. But hey, I'm just a broke 30-something, so I don't get the feeling I'm the target audience for this place. read more

This store embodies at least two of my favorite things: buying perfectly good used items instead of new ones, and making purchases that benefit you and simultaneously help a great cause. Located next to The Lark, La Cache has a vast selection of china, glassware and silver--all of which are in good condition and typically high quality. They have random pieces of furniture art and lighting in the room adjacent to the entrance. Around the corner is another annex of La Cache for donated items. Be sure to stop in there if you are looking to really get some bang for your buck. Check out La Cache next time you are in need and help Children's Hospital! read more

Many beautiful items. Be sure to check out the discounted room next door. The ladies are very helpful & sweet. I just wish they were open longer during the week. read more

Great deals on Antiques and Jewelry, with a portion going to the Children's Hospital!

La Cache should be called "La Leftovers" since the public is buying what the volunteers don't want. In 30 years of loyal patronage and spending thousands of dollars, we have been able to buy exactly two "to be priced" items-the "best of the best" items go to the volunteers. This is a fact. At least two volunteers have told us: "When contracts come in and items are priced we buy, buy, buy." The very last day we were in and again missed a "to be priced item" after checking 3 times that day, we told the volunteer, "WE know a volunteer just bought that as soon as it was priced." Her response, "So? What's your problem? We work our butts off. We deserve first dibs." After 30 years that was like a slap in the face. We asked about being called when an item is priced:"too much work". Not true. We have seen notes on items to call "so and so" when the item is priced. My sleeve brushed a wine glass which broke. It was a DONATED ITEM. The volunteer, "Well, looks like you just bought 8 wine glasses. " Oh, we donated the other 7 back. We saw a gentleman in the main showroom break an expensive CONSIGNED item. A volunteer rushed over, patted him on the arm, picked up the pieces and said "We can take care of that." Who the hell was he? When you consign items, some items may be refused--as items they won't sell in the shop or are valued at less than $25.00. You are told "donate or pick-up". Some people probably think, well maybe they can get $20.00 for it anyway. SURPRISE! This item they refused to sell, which you then donated can be sold on the floor for $100.00, of which you get none. This happened to us. La Cache is not a charity nor is Children's Hospital. The funds La Cache then forwards to Children's is not designated for indigent care only. True charities provide care, services and goods to the indigent or those in need at no cost. One day we were in and a volunteer was at the front desk pricing donations. There was one item i especially wanted, a beautiful salt cellar worth about $100.00. "I''ll buy that!" The volunteer, "No you won't. I bought it!" She then whipped out her carbon sales pad and sold it to herself for $3.00. The Assistance League of Denver is the gold standard for charities in Denver. They do not allow their volunteers to shop until the last half-hour of the day. Items that are priced and put out during the day are available to the public FIRST AND FOR THE ENTIRE day, up until the half-hour at closing. La Cache would do well to send staff over to the Assistance League for a solid week, observe their business practices and then follow them to THE LETTER. After shopping for 30 years at the AL we view the ladies there we have come to meet and love as angels who walk the earth. They are among the most gracious, beautiful, generous and kind and caring human beings on the planet. read more

Whle I have never been to La Cache, my boyfriend is a frequent visitor and has bought some wonderful items there...especially Roseville pottery and recently he was in browsing and one of the ladies who works there showed him a beautiful bumblebee pin with diamonds and rubies..he bought it for me for Chirstmas and was so excited about it that he gave it to me early!
