Not a lot of selection and the place lokey smells funky af but they got good prices. Very friendly people. It's pretty small inside also so if you have a stroller you have to be careful read more

This thrift store felt very practical, and my purchase itself warranted my 5 star rating. Amazing price for like new condition! My visit was brief but efficient, despite a moderately sized crowd that surprised me for a Monday afternoon. I literally hopped in for a peak while waiting for my order from it's neighboring Mexican food stop. Other options that immediately caught my eye: couple water sports items in working condition eg: short board, long board, etc. There are sunglasses that look quite classic that I did not have enough time to browse. And there are certainly furniture options at this location, from my brief peak, mostly wood cabinets of large size. I'll be back. read more

See all

Extremely friendly staff, opportunity to get deli outs fresh fruits for a great price. If you find things without a price tag/someone removed the tags they will mark it for you. Really great prices and nice quality stuff read more

Lighthouse Thrift Store - things I found for my uncle - Thrift Stores Near Me - Capistrano Beach, California

Lots of merchandise. The store is pretty packed; they have merchandise outside too. It's a Thrift store. I didn't have much time so I didn't get to see everything, however, I bought a cute framed beachy wall hanging, a blue Pyrex casserole dish, and AMAZING mulberries and apricots. I'll go back for the mulberries and spend more time shopping next time. read more

A quick walk through revealed older clothes, some seemed to be mid 2000s; but I didn't look through any of the racks. It is small so the smell lingers. The furniture is from Grandma's house.I find it strange that a thrift store sells avocados and firewood. read more

If You need help emptying your home of unnecessary or unwanted items, I highly recommend contacting Lighthouse! Very nice people will help you, and your items will go into their shop and help an excellent cause! Thank You Roy, and your Great Team! read more

The Lighthouse has always taken my donations with a smile, and when I stop in, I always find something I needed at a very good price. The shopping center is convenient, right next to Smart and Final and Costco. I love the store and the staff. I highly recommend them. read more

Amazing thrift store, some people complain on here about the stuff, guys its a thrift store not Macys, the store can be a little crazy at times but it makes it more fun knowing your gonna find something great. Not only will you find something your looking for their prices are so amazing, but not as amazing as the people working there! German has to be one of the nicest people that god has put on this earth! Just know what ever you buy is going to a great cause & I will continue to support this store till the end read more

Anything you donate helps give people jobs and it's a wonderful ministry and the people who work there are very helpful and grateful for the donations. read more

I don't think I have ever walked out of there empty handed! Although it's not a big store, the selection never disappoints and the prices are amazing. I can't say enough about the people that work/volunteer there, not only do you leave with great finds, you also feel like you've made new friends!!! read more

You'll find everything you need in this hidden gem...just bought my wife a new beach cruiser..Roy and Mike helped me with putting on a new tube for the tire...and don't forget the delicious organic honey and the blue ...we definitely will be back! read more

I did not feel welcome at this place. The store seemed unkempt and merchandise was in rough shape. I will not be returning.

One of my favorite thrift shop. Very friendly people. Lots of good finds here especially on books.

I stumbled on this wonderful store by stopping at the dollar tree next door for some cheap essentials while on vacation. Turns out the thrift store was so impressive to me I visited all three days I was vacationing in the OC. First day I bought over 40 CD's because they were only a dollar each- which is awesome because it encourages people to listen to new music and if the CD is messed up, you didn't waste much money (so far only one was damaged enough to not be able to play all the songs- still got 4 out of it) OK, prices were good- made me buy things I didn't need lol BUT they sell juice and fresh fruit and veggies! I bought some juice on a whim- and it was the best I have ever drank in my life!! I told everyone about it and was planning to buy about 3 more bottles of it when I returned the next day, but they didn't have any. Then I went back on my last day there and still out. Darn. I ended up spending another $12 or so, got more CD's and a purse and wallet that I love! (super deal on a brand name) MOST of the guys that work there are really nice- one is an impatient arse- he was "In a hurry at the Dollar Tree to get a drink and jerky" you know, things you really need. lmao I told the cashier on the last visit "I LOVE YOUR STORE" He replied, it loved me too and to have a blessed day. I am not religious, but I can appreciate that it helps many people and I do count blessings. This store is one! I have told every person I know about this store and I will return again soon! (please don't raise your prices) So much better than the chain thrift stores! LOVE, love love!!! Now make more juice? read more

This is a worthy business that supports those in need and staff. The guys out back who take donations are awesome.

Not a huge selection but the items are will organized, very well priced and the people are super friendly & helpful! I found out that they will even pick up furniture you want to donate - for FREE (unusual for thrift stores now). They have a very friendly team in the back to take your donations unlike Goodwill where you are made to feel like you are bothering them plus you know that your donations are not going to be used to rip people off. psst Goodwill, maybe you could catch a clue from Lighthouse?! read more

Found a bunch here on vacation. It was clean and affordable but the prices were not listed so yo uh had to ask the counter cashier how much each item cost. Other than that. It was a great thrift spot. read more

Lighthouse Thrift Store - Thrift Stores Near Me - Capistrano Beach, California

The women in charge was very rude to me. The dresses do not have price tags on them, so the lady at the counter told me "I set the prices at the counter." Which meant to me that depending on what the person looks like she'll set the price. Do not try to barter at this place, she will make you feel horrible just for asking. It is small and not worth your time. read more

I donate here all the time. I also shop here every time I donate, eat Mexican food next door or stop off at the dollar tree or smart n final. They're kind and courteous and the money they make goes to an awesome cause. The manager works with his employees, taking donations and working inside the shop. I bought a pair of slightly used snowboarding pants for 1.50, because they were 1/2 off that day. They almost always have a few antique pieces that are cleaned up and ready to be purchased. It's a small place so don't attempt to bring in a stroller. Great place to get mugs for work, so I don't have to use the wasteful plastic or styrofoam ones read more

Went in as I was walking to get lunch and Tyrone quickest welcomed me in the store and was very helpful to helping me with shopping around.

Awesome little thrift store. They help men who have had past issues. The items vary in pricing consistency but they are usually reasonable.

As I said before, this place is Great. They have another store!!! Was there (store on PCH) and it's really good too. Think the guy's name was Reuben. These are good folks read more

Looked cute from the outside but didn't know what it was exactly so I decided to stop in. As I walked in, the guy in the front looked at me and just looked back at his phone. No hi, welcome, hello. .. Nothing. Guess they don't care too much about their customers. Secondly, it didn't take me long to just walk right out as it was nasty in there. The stuff they sell is so bad, its worse than a garage sale, basically someone's old stuff they didn't want anymore. Bad condition, dirty, old and Very unorganized. Can't believe they are able to make rent. read more

I'm always walking into this shop while waiting for my food to be ready in the restaurant next door. EVERY time I leave with at least three or four little treasures that make my day! I have to say that the best part, though, is the fact that they sell organic just picked fruit from their organic orchard up the street. Seriously the tastiest fruit ever! If secondhand items aren't your gig, I'd recommend going for the fruit alone! read more

Surprisingly good selection of furniture - not a lot of pieces, but not junk. Lots of good clothes. Housewares are weak. Almost no toys. They have a bunch of African art for sale - stuff they import and sell - Giant 7ft tall wood giraffe anyone? read more

I really dislike leaving bad reviews. The store had an interesting assortment of items. An even more interesting pricing structure. Most items seemed a bit overpriced. The clothing racks seemed disorganized. Neither of the two persons working there paid any attention to us (one may have been a customer though, it looked like she was pricing/hanging a pile of clothing, but also trying things on). read more

Great little shop. They have a good selection for the size of the shop. I found some nice collectors pieces that I don't normally find in Cali. read more

Store is pretty well organized but prices vary. Found some quality items outside in the back which may have sold sooner had they been brought inside. Store was difficult to find using Google maps. It is next door to The Dollar Tree. read more

This thrift store lives right behind my work place and so I stop in nearly every day on my lunch. Most of the guys here know me by name and greet me everyday. The selection here is hit or miss, however turnover is high and i generally find whatever it is I am looking for within two weeks. They always have a great selection of outdoor equipment and kitchen ware. The clothing section isn't fantastic, but they make up for it with decent prices, most items being $2 or under! I also love the fresh fruit and veggies they sell! Never had a dud! Treyvonne and Jesse are great! read more
