Whenever I'm in the area, I always make a point to stop here. This is a huge shopping area with…read morelots of vendors inside, each with their own shop. You'll find everything from vintage clothing, furniture, housewares, jewelry, tea, greeting cards. I'm sure there's something for everyone here! Folks have complained about being followed or heavily scrutinized inside. I could see why people might say that, it is a huge space and I'm sure they're trying to deter would be shoplifters. Some of the merchants inside are reasonably priced, others are a little bit more pricey. However, overall, I find that there are much better value than some of the boutiques that line the sidewalks in Oceanside or Carlsbad for instance. I ended up with a couple of air plants, nearly bought a beaded carpet bag type thing, but decided that I don't know when I would use it. They have two other locations in San Diego. Would definitely check them out if I was in the area.

Head to the back and you'll find a beautifully curated selection of thrifted gems, from clothes to accessories to unique finds, all at really reasonable prices. This has become one of my favorite Saturday afternoon rituals in Oside. There's just something about the hunt, the vibe, and the little surprises you find every time. Lisa is the best. So kind, welcoming, and a big part of what makes this place feel special. Pro tip, follow them on Instagram so you can keep up with their sales. If you love thrifting and hidden gems, this spot is absolutely worth checking out.

You never know what you are going to find, and the prices are consistently incredible. Todd, the owner, is genuinely one of the nicest, most down to earth people you will meet. He truly wants to help everyone and it trickles down to his team. They make you feel welcome the moment you walk in. The employees are amazing as well. It feels like a family atmosphere, not just a store. Everyone is friendly, remembers your name, and goes out of their way to help. They have even offered to carry items out to my car, which you just do not see very often anymore. This place is a gem. Great deals, great people, and an all around great experience every time. Highly recommend. Twenty billion stars out of 5.

I really enjoy their cheaper clothes outside because you never know what you can find and work with. They do a credit program with their costumers and it's really convenient when you can't sell stuff online.
