I stumbled upon this shopping center accidentally and their signs out front caught my eye. I'm glad they did but this was truly the neatest thrift store. Very welcome organized too! They had a good variety of clothing, antiques, home decor, books, records.. everything! The value is great too, I didn't feel like anything was overpriced. Don't see a price tag? The staff were welcoming and helpful. Just ask! They have are constantly putting out new merchandise so it would be good to frequent this place if you love a gift thrift. I'll be back for sure. read more

Great thrift store! What a cute, little hidden gem! This doesn't look like much from the outside/ front. Inside it's a different story! There's a mix of retro style items and modern items. I saw some Ace Ventura, Baby Yoda and tons of things from the 80's. Neat Thrift Store was clean and well organized. It's easy to navigate and there are some great things to be found here! The books are such a great value! Some of the books were $1 and others were $2! That's so cheap! We found a Lord of The Rings book for $1. That's wild! Shoes are 25% off on Wednesdays! We got lucky and came on a Wednesday! I found a cute pair of shoes here. Service was good. Fast and friendly. I would comeback here. read more

The name is fitting, it's quite "neato" LOL, yes corny, what did you expect? It's a small little shopping center & looks smaller from the outside, but it's not. There's a variety of items & most vintage like collectibles & clothing- be good to hunt for a unique put together costumes, but they had a rack and unopened totes full of costumes & decorations. A cool "Mens" section for you fellas that like stuff to tinker with. The lady who runs it was a sweet friendly people person who makes you feel comfortable. This ones a keeper:) read more

Cute thrift store. Exactly what I expected it would be. The smell is distinct of vintage aromas. If you know what I'm talking about, then you know what I'm talking about. The shop is packed full of old goodies looking for new homes. I'll be checking this place out more frequently when I get a chance. read more

I love this place! Chris culls the best stuff from her sources with a knowing eye, and her prices are very good. Friendliest place too.

Drove from Chula Vista because their hours say they are open on Sunday- it's 2pm and they are closed

This is hands down the best thrift store in the IE in my opinion. Definitely a lot of a different vibe than the average thrift store, it is quirky and welcoming. Plus the lady that runs it is so nice every time I'm in there. Super cool hand tie dye selection too! I love this store! read more

Awesome little hidden gem at the edge of the lake. The lady that runs is is so nice, we visit every time we are passing through.

Sweet staff,great prices.I will be coming here every time I'm in town to visit my daughter. They even sell some amazing tee shirts that are tye dyed (which I'm not into normally) but these shirts are pieces of art..Not regular tye dye stuff. This stuff takes some mad skills to make. read more

We just moved to Lake Elsinore and needed little things for our house, we went to many thrift stores but there were none as cool as Neat. The owner Neil is super friendly and always has time to talk to you about any of the stuff in the store. He gets new, interesting and unusual stuff everyday. I try to go into the store at least twice a week to see what awesome things he has next. If you're looking for a cool thrift store with a lot of great bargains this is the place to go. read more

I shopped this store several times ! As the name of the store says Neat ! It is ! Everything nicely done . I purchased many different items from Neil. What I really like is Neil"s personality We were talking about Music . Next thing I know he had the songs playing in the store. You want to shop the store just to visit Neil. I have a precious friend he is 98 .He loves the Lord. I bought a hand done lap quilt from Neil with scriptures in patchwork. I had it dry cleaned and gave it to him for his 98th Birthday . He cried and said it was the most wonderful gift he received. He prays every morning with it draped on his lap over his wheel chair. My Son graduated the Fireman's Academy . I found a Vintage metal Fire Truck I placed his monetary gift inside . A NEAT gift ! Thanks ! Neil read more

Such a cool store! Never have I ever been to another thrift store so well organized and cleverly designed. The owner Neil and his girlfriend Kris are true visionaries, and the lifeblood of the sears lumber shopping center. I love thrifting, but I always have a lingering suspicion that everything could be covered in an undetectable layer of poop; not at NEAT though, their attention to detail quells my fecal fears. So if you like cool used shit, and also like to avoid literal shit, then you should give neat a browse. read more

Went into look around today, the place is very unique , good stuff, good prices, will be back to buy something next time for sure
