Always wanted to stop in here for years and finally did! Small store with quality second hand products. End up purchasing a candle and a cute vintage Calvin Klein Jean jacket. There is something for everyone, you just have to really really look. It's a small space but crammed with precious stock. Chris the owner was so sweet and fun! Full of advice and knowledge about small businesses and stories about fashion pieces. This is a lady I could hang with! We would have so much fun! She was even trying to give me a discount and I told her; no need as small businesses suffer enough. I was just grateful that she offered. To me the experience and fun I had was well worth every penny. She was super happy and grateful that I purchased from her shop. I will be back to visit Chris and find more treasure pieces! read more

I absolutely love this boutique and the owner, Chris. She gave my boyfriend & I a lot of insight on how to start plus run a business. Her boutique hold varieties of selections from clothing/accessories to home goods & appliances. She even sells beautiful jewelry hand made by her. The prices are fair for all her products. Overall, the experience was amazing & I managed to pick up a cute oversized flannel for myself. Thank you again Chris for your kind words & wisdom. I look forward to shopping here again. read more

Neu2u Thrift Boutique - Business card - Thrift Stores Near Me - San Jose, California

If I could give Neu2u Thrift Boutique more than five stars, I absolutely would. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth, authenticity, and the beautiful spirit of Chris, the owner and heart of the store. Chris is truly one of a kind. She's not just a businesswoman, she's a healer, a hype woman, and a light in the community. My sister and I came in looking for outfits for the Beyoncé Cowboy Carter concert, and it turned into an experience we'll never forget. She not only helped us find the most unique pieces, but she also uplifted my younger sister in the most heartfelt way. My sister struggles with self-image and confidence, but she saw her beauty and poured so much love and encouragement into her. Her words were so powerful and genuine that they brought my sister to tears The boutique itself is filled with carefully curated treasures and unique pieces that speak to every kind of personality, definitely not your average thrift store, way better! We ended up spending nearly an hour there, not just shopping, but connecting with Chris and listening to the story of how she built her business. You can feel the passion, care, and purpose in every corner of that space. If you are anywhere near San Jose, you have to visit Neu2u! It is so much more than a thrift store. It's a place of joy, empowerment, and connection. Thank you, Chris, for everything. We will definitely be back! read more

Such a unique thrift boutique. Everything is washed and ready for someone to take home. I wish I lived closer I would come to Neu2u every week. read more

Chris is an absolute angel! Her thrift boutique is so welcoming as is she. She has a huge selection of clothes and she makes her own jewelry. It's all so beautiful and well made. If you need a smile to brighten up your day take a stroll into her boutique. read more

Kris is amazing!! Stopped by to get some clothes for the ren fair with my sisters -- shop is a bit small but has a great selection! If I had to choose one reason to come back, it would definitely be Kris! She's inviting, warm and funny ! She even went to the back to hand show me some items she thought I'd like. Amazing shop with a wonderful woman! Things can be slightly expensive, but with the care and time that goes into to it I do think it's worth it! read more

Difficult to shop, items are stacked on top of each other. The store is a mess, there are no prices, and the staff is unprofessional. First and last visit. Very limited selection for men. read more

I was on the lookout for some new jeans and my friend had wanted to try out a thrift store we'd never been to before, so we checked out Neu2u! It is a cozy purple shop downtown with a lot of cute pieces for very reasonable pieces. I found a really cool pair of jeans for just $9 and was offered a student discount as well. The owner is truly such a beautiful, kind person and really made our experience so great, much love to them!! read more

Kris is a wonderful person and incredibly passionate, friendly, talented, and real. Most of the jewelry she makes herself. The prices are fair and students of any school get 10% off. Definitely come check out this boutique! read more

A lot smaller than I expected! But very welcoming and cozy The owner is super nice and likes to talk. You know the feeling when you go home to visit your mom and she keeps talking to you? Same warm vibe. It wasn't really for me. There's knick knacks and some clothing and different types of jewelry and handbags but not really my style, could be someone else's though! read more

Friend and I went to go check this place out. The owner was really fun to talk to and everything in the store looked amazing, had a really fun time in there. Definitely coming again to look for any new pieces. read more

Words cannot express how amazing the woman who owns this store is. Her name is Chris and I'm absolutely sure she is an ANGEL. love her. We talked for about 45 minutes and when you meet a pure gem like her, you definitely take note of it. She is going to write a book! Anyone that can help her out, go in there and introduce yourself. I promise you that you won't be disappointed. She is one of those rare people on this planet that you feel lucky to have met. TRUST ME. She is wise; listen. P.S. the heart is not for sale, it was a gift. read more

Kris is an amazing owner and she runs a very inviting and decorated shop. She was able to help me find exactly what I needed at a reasonable price, and she connected with me and held a very insightful and helpful conversation. I'd highly recommend her shop, and students get 10% off as well! read more

I came across this store as it was the only one in downtown SJ that I found on Google. I come in and I am greeted by Chris, the store owner. She immediately starts conversation with me and I have never been treated with such hospitality from a business before. She mentions her love for her family, her business, I felt like I have known her forever! She also shows me photos of her 10 year anniversary celebration, and how proud she is of the people that helped display her clothing, she's just so passionate about her business. She offers me suggestions on some pants and I am in awe at the selection she has! Although it is small, there are so many options and she has a Jewelry selection that are handcrafted by her, and you can see the love incorporated in every piece. I bought two pairs of pants for $35 (total) and one of them you can find on resellers charging for over $100! It was such a great deal. I was having such a good time with Chris, I didn't want to leave because of how much goodness she radiated, and I barely met her today. When you come to this place, you will leave feeling so warm and satisfied with what you leave with, I very much look forward to supporting her business again read more

I enjoy supporting small business especially when it comes to thrift shopping. I had the opportunity to visit this store and was blown away by the amazing owner. Customer service is on point and she is genuinely full of love for all walks of life. Her positivity made my heart sing with joy. Her positivity and grounded nature called out to me and made me feel right at home. The clothes are picked out by the store owner and washed before they make it to the floor. I bought two button up shirts that I adore and are in fabulous condition. She has many offering including handmade jewelry, Small gifts, accessories, home goods, and men's clothing options. A little of everything for everyone. Pro tip: The location is small but the racks move to ensure the customer can browse the offerings. The vibes and thoughtfulness transform this store into a gem! read more

stumbled upon this small little boutique with my friend one day out of curiosity, and boy oh boy were we glad we decided to come in. The jackets here were real nice material and they only costed $10! I bought a GAP jean jacket for $10! AWESOME DEAL RIGHT THERE. Unfortunately, we did not have much time, so we could not dig deep for treasure. But the rest of the clothes seemed in good shape and cheap cheap cheap! Also, the jewelry the owner makes is incredible. Super cutes! I would definitely buy two to match with another friend as some kind of friendship necklace thing. The owner here is the bombdiggity! She's funny, friendly and sweet! Definitely made the experience that much better. The only con is that a majority of the clothes there were really 80s looking which isn't really my style. I am a 17 year old college student! And I prefer to dress more modern casual. But I still definitely recommend this place if you are in the mood to thrift! read more

Came here at 2:15pm and they're closed, even though the posted hours say they should be open. And they spelled peace wrong. Won't be coming back here, ever again. read more

Neu2u Thrift Boutique - Thrift Stores Near Me - San Jose, California

From beginning to end my experience at Neu2u was amazing, Chris was kind enough to help me pick a prefect gift for my girlfriend definitely coming back! read more

I passed by this thrift store while I took my dog out for a midnight walk. I'm a huge thrift store nutcase (I've checked out Moon Zoom, Black and Brown, etc) and made a mental note to check it out. I finally made time to stop by, and boy, am I glad I did! From the outside, the store did not seem like it would have much. Once you step inside and start looking around, there are some high quality gems here. The boutique focuses on clothes that flatter the female body, such as the cuts and material. The lady who works there (Chris) sets you at ease. When I asked for prices of some unmarked items, she said to make it simple, she marks most of her items for $6 or $7. I tried on five articles of clothing that flattered me, but I had to put three away because the colors just aren't me (I'm more of a goth/rocker chick) or I need to lose my belly. Chris was telling me about how she finds it sad that there are people who would like to lose weight, but couldn't due to unaffordable gyms/classes. She teaches free aerobics classes nearby, but I couldn't recall exactly where, as I was mentally chastising myself for letting myself go. She also told me about how she makes most of her money off of jewelry she sells at festivals. I did not get a chance to look at the jewelry, as I was in a rush. I told Chris that I'm currently an SJSU student and she showed me an app for smartphones called Aroundcampus.com where you can find deals for your school. She said if I showed her the coupon on my phone, she will give me 10% off my purchases. My archaic BlackBerry was so slow, so she said she will use the coupon off of her phone. I love this little store and I love the lady who runs it. A+. I will be posting up pictures of some items I was able to snag here. read more

This is long over-due but I ran into this store a few weeks back. I was looking for 80's clothing because I was running this obstacle course called Tough Mudder.. which is exactly what it sounds like. Anyway upon my entrance, I was greeted by Chris, who was very welcoming and friendly. She goes, "Hey there! How's it going?" And from then on, we just talked for 2 hours while I looked through her merchandise. It was cool because not only did I find an 80's shirt I was looking for, she has some pretty fresh button-downs in store too. Gotta look good for church nahmean?! I am giving this place major thumbs up and as many stars as Yelp offers because the items here are ridiculously inexpensive, there is a wide variety of clothes and other novelty items available. Oh she's got books too (I love me some books). And Chris is just hands down the sweetest lady on the block. God bless this woman and her business!! Oh and if you are an SJSU student, and have a smart phone, you get a 10% discount of all your purchases if you download an application called Around Campus. Hope this helps and have an ultimate day! read more

Such a neat thrift store! It's not too large so you don't feel overwhelmed walking inside. The store is organized and easy to find what you're looking for. The owner Chris is very friendly and welcoming. Go check out her one of a kind handmade jewelry it was my favorite part of the store! read more

Had a chance to stop by on International Women's Day...Had a great time...Met with Owner C.P. SIMMOMS...Was greeted like a old friend...Love to shop local with local people... read more

See all

When you go in & look around, you'll find some amazing stuff & you'll be glad you found the place. Very inexpensive, high quality clothes & other items. I snagged about 30 West Annotated Code books one day. The owner is very friendly & so kind. She welcomes you in & to come back. She even says hi to people walking by the store. Try it at least once & you'll be back ! read more

Chris (the owner) is the best! Not only does she provide high quality customer service to everyone who walks into the store, she goes above and beyond that and makes you feel like you're old friends. She is very warm and perhaps even a real angel...One day, a man came in to the store who looked disheveled possibly just released from the main jail which is down the street. It was during the winter months and he was wearing a wife beater tank top and athletic shorts. He had a shabby blanket that he used to wrap around himself for extra warmth. While in the store, he was pretty rude to Chris when she was just trying to talk to him. His demeanor was borderline hostile. As he was about to exit the store, I saw Chris go up to the man and hand him a pair of jeans and a warm peacoat off of a rack. She said something along the lines of "I'll pray for you" and some words of encouragement. She didn't offer him a deal or try to sell him anything, nothing. It looked like the man was going to cry when she did this. Obviously he was really going through it and Chris selflessly blessed him with these warm clothes from her store, despite his initial rude behavior. The prices are fixed here (shirts are all $X.00, shoes are all $Y.00, pants are all $Z.00, etc.) and most of the items are new with original tags. Chris even sells MAC cosmetics here (also all new) at HALF the price they retail for. She also makes her own jewelry which is very beautiful and inexpensive as well. Sometimes I come in just to talk to Chris for a minute, even if I don't have any money to shop because she really is a wonderful woman. read more

Love this place. The owner greets you with a smile and when you walk into the store you feel welcomed.. Chris the owner is always helpful in helping you find what you are looking for. Great prices and that's a plus. She's warm hearted and a caring individual to everyone.. Cares about here business and the community and providing ideas for a Better Downtown San Jose small businesses. Thanks Chris. read more

I had some time to burn and thought I'd look for an interesting find. Sure enough, I found someone interesting, warm, welcoming, understanding and kind! The owner (Chris) helped me out with all of the things I looked at. Even the discount that I can get by just checking in her store at Yelp. The store had a lot to offer like her own jewelry design, new inventory and many one-of-a-kind items. But in the end, I was bitterly disappointed with coming out empty handed (which rarely happens with me leaving a thrift store). She did understand all the reasoning I gave her for not buying any thing. And, will definitely come back next time I am in the area. read more

This place is absolutely amazing!!! The woman who owns the shop has been their forever and super friendly. We made conversation for over 45 min after I made my purchase. Super good prices. Lot of men's dress clothing for cheap. Dress shirts, slacks, vests, and jackets. I went to try and find items for burning man for those burners out there. She has some good vests for men and looked like some fun jewelry and boots for the ladies. Happy hunting! read more

My friends and i needed some clothing to go to Decompression 2017 so we decided to hit up a thrift store. Neu2u ended showing on on my map and we went to check it out. Amazing costumer service as well as many interesting clothes and jewelries. The store might seem small but that's only because there is so much stuff in there, so if you take your time like i did you will find amazing stuff. 100% would go back again. read more

Chris sent pictures to my phone of what she thought were blouses my sister in law would like. I'd been 4 places all ready looking for the button down blouses she needed due to a couple operations. I appreciated the extra effort Chris took to check her shop without me traveling from Sunnyvale sight unseen. And again when I was there. Bought a blouse and a bracelet designed by Chris. Besides having a large inventory of fashionable items she designs jewelry too. Fun shop loaded floor to ceiling. Every item smells fresh unlike other re-sale shops. She is a dynamic small business owner who makes downtown San Jose the place to shop. read more

Great place, low prices and great customer service! Cool stuff and nice and clean.

Love this place! Lots of cute clothes, shoes and accessories. Amazing customer service as well! When I went in the second time, she remembered me even when the last time I was there was about a month ago. She loves getting to know her customers. She also makes sure the clothes she sells are nice and clean, so that's a plus. I mostly go for their $5 high-waisted jeans that I turn into shorts. Definitely check it out. You won't regret it. read more

I was in San Jose for a conference and found myself really underdressed. Rather than go back to San Francisco to get some clothes, I thought I would just check out the thrift store. I found some great clothes here that fit and were a great deal. i even found a sweet pair of dress shoes. More importantly, the woman who works there Chrys or maybe Chris ( I believe she said there's 2 Chris's or something but whatever), went out of her way to understand my situation and help me out in trying to find a good shirt, pants and shoes. I was kind of in a rush and she was searching all over the store for stuff for me. I wish there was that kind of customer service and cheap thrift stores here in San Francisco (at least that I know of)! read more

Best customer service ever! Everyone that comes through the door is treated well! Prices are great and a great mix of styles. If the owner CP Simmons doesn't have what you're looking for she will recommend another place. read more

I'm super late to review, but better late than never! I really liked this little boutique. Its a bit small, but very cute. The woman running this store is very friendly && really tries to help you if you're looking for something in particular. I ended up buying a purse for $15, very cute ! read more

Just found this yesterday on my walk home from work. Very attractive store with high-quality items in great condition. I bought a 100% linen shirt for $7 and a very handsome tie for my husband for $3. Didn't have time to really go over all the stuff, but her shoe selection is tempting, too. Worth a look. read more

I came here to get old school 20's clothes for my new job, a couple outfits I can wear throughout the week. It was the perfect place to go. Chris had everything I needed, would get me different sizes and gave recommendations and even helped me coordinate the outfits. She is such a sweetie. Even better, everything there was fresh and clean, not something I feel like I'd need to wash before I tried it on. I highly recommend. 5 stars all the way! ps. pictures soon read more

Small store in downtown but the owner was incredibly nice and welcoming! Recommended for everyone!

Nice place. Reasonable. Glad I found it. Can't go often but worth taking a look when I have time.

I was downtown wanting to go on a thrift spree but there wasn't one in sight and so I resorted to yelp. Neu2U was the first thing that popped up and so the journey began. My friend and I took a nice stroll to the shop and when we arrived we were instantly greeted by Chris (the owner of the store). My friend and I took our time looking through everything in the shop and Chris did a great job at letting us know about her deals and showing us where all of the specifics were. After I tried everything on and made my purchases, I was stuck chatting with Chris and didn't even notice the time until finally two hours of just hanging out had gone by and in the end I bought some more stuff and got a free t-shirt out of it. The customer service was exceptionally great and Chris really made me feel like I was a regular. It's definitely worth a look around, if not for an item from her very own collection of jewelry or her many cute dresses/skirt suit items, then at least you'd had the opportunity to visit with a genuine kindhearted soul that'll have you walk out feeling a little happier than you were. read more
