I visited Puffy's Thrift and Mercantile on the Miracle Mile with my mom and aunt, and we had a really lovely time. The shop is thoughtfully laid out, clean, and full of unique pieces. It's clear a lot of care goes into how everything is presented, and it makes for a really pleasant shopping experience. Rob, the owner, and his daughter Katie were both welcoming and kind. You can tell they've created something special here that's rooted in community. They do take clean, gently used donations from Wednesday to Saturday, but it's best to check in with them first before dropping anything off. Definitely a spot worth browsing if you're in the neighborhood. read more

Puffy’s Thrift Mercantile - Thrift Stores Near Me - Stockton, California

I always find great finds here, and priced reasonably. I highly recommend looking here for some unique finds

cute shop on Miracle Mile. I didn't buy anything but the items were nice to look at. They have vintage items, saw some 90's stuff from my childhood. The store was clean and organized. It's not like your typical thrift store. Different topic, I loved this one song they were playing in the store. I asked the worker if he knew the name of it. He was like hold on, I can check. I guess the phone it was playing off from was in the back of the shop so I followed him and he showed me the phone and I took a picture. Guess it was some random playlist. But it's a great song! :) read more

Puffy’s Thrift Mercantile - Thrift Stores Near Me - Stockton, California

When I walked in, I knew it would be a great adventure in Puffy's Thrift Mercantile because I was welcomed immediately with a cheerful, "welcome"! Truth be told, I just walked in here to kill time, but I treat thrift stores like Treasure Hunting as one will not know what they find! They had books and clothes and mixed media and housewares, but it was all well placed and in very good condition. When I realized I had to go (because time seemed to have moved so quickly when I was in there), I headed to the checkout and I had a very good conversation with the owner. In which, it was very nice and pleasant. And yes, I did end up buying something because I realized I needed something for my trip overseas! I also noticed the vintage comic books that they had behind the counter, and it was in a plastic bag for all you collectors! I will definitely be back! read more

Literally an amazing little gem on the Miracle Mile! They have awesome items every time I go, very fair pricing and wonderful staff. Best part- their donations to local animal causes. I donate to them and I shop from them! Highly recommend Puffy's Thrift for clothes, shoes, jewelry, knick knacks and a huge selection of books! read more

Fun store. Owner is wounderful. I found some large serving dishes. Great deals‍

VERY cool spot on the Mile... By far this is the cleanest and most organized thrift shop I've ever been to. While it's still a hodge podge of all sorts of items from clothing to tableware to books, everything is neatly organized and displayed in an attractive way that makes you think more of boutique shop than your typical second hand store. The workers are super friendly and helpful and I love the fact that proceeds are donated to animal rescues. If you like thrifting, you'll LOVE Puffy's. read more

I stopped by this thrift shop on the Miracle Mile and I was pleasantly surprised by all of the cool and funny stuff that was in here and everything was so cheap. They had clothes, books, mugs, music, trinkets etc. The man working also let me know that they donate to good causes such as buying dog food so I highly recommend supporting this place and asking about it when you are there. Great service! read more

So well organized, wonderful inventory, great prices, terrific help! I will shop here again!

Puffy's is really really cute!! I live in Sacramento, so it's a little bit of a drive for me to visit here just for a casual shopping excursion. I do get a little sad reading this review because it was on October 21, 2022 when my mom still had mobility and we were able to take her out for a day of shopping and foodie adventures! I would highly recommend Puffy's for any boutique pieces, finding the diamond in the rough, artwork, holiday gift ideas, etc. 5 out of 5 for stars! Thank you for reading! read more

Have been shopping Puffy's since before it was Puffy's! Went in to explore holiday items and was overcome by the grandeur! The Christmas displays were akin to Macy's - absolutely stunning! Really put us in the Christmas spirit. This place is a gem! read more

I love this place! The selection is very vintage-y (lots of home decor, plates, artwork, books, clothes) and it's clean and well-organized. Everything is also so cheap/reasonable prices! I got two picture frames, a hardcover book/textbook, and two thank you cards for less than $4! The mission (animal rescue) is the most important part, and everything is donation- and volunteer- based. Everyone is super kind -- feels very intimate! read more

Puffy’s Thrift Mercantile - The book wall. Wow! - Thrift Stores Near Me - Stockton, California

Such a nice place to have in Stockton. Very organized and always had random cute finds.

Super cute, eclectic, fun, little thrift store with friendly employees and an inspiring mission to support animals in need. A lovely hidden gem in Stockton! And quite possibly, one of the best well-kept thrift shops I've ever been to. Thrift wares are equally cute, eclectic, and fun -- tea sets, glass cups and plates, ceramics, clothing (including brand-names), CDs and DVDs, crafting supplies, shoes, kitchen supplies, vintage comics, etc. All of the shelves are neat and clean, and the way the inside is decorated feels almost boutique-like. Very fair prices. I snagged two 4x4 glass containers for $0.95 each and a unique woven bamboo/wood purse for $15. Store is dog-friendly :) read more

LOVE PUFFY'S...especially it benefits unhoused pets!!! Good finds of vintage clothing and housewares too!

I actually found this establishment through a Google search this is a gem hidden in Stockton. Every time I go to Goodwill I can never find anything that I'm looking for. I saw the reviews on Google and decided to stop by Puffy's. Everyone is very friendly they're so helpful and willing to help you. The items that they have are unique and of great quality. I will definitely be going back again I highly recommend Puffy's. read more

We absolutely Love this store & its owners... from the choices,display & adventure I feel every time I go in to the kindness of staff& respect all the different outreaches they stand behind.. Totally a GEM in our city ... read more

This thrift store is so perfectly kept! Everything has a place and it's very clean and easy to navigate through the store. I was able to take my group with me and they were so friendly and accommodating! We will be back! read more

Nice shop! Super nice staff! Nice place to give your good donations to. You know the stuff that is still good but you don't wanna just give it away but you don't mind giving it to someone that will treat it well...lol. read more

The $$ from their sales goes to helping animal shelters. There's a unique collection of merchandise and they're not over-priced like at other thrift stores. You need to check them out. read more

I completely Love this establishment!!!! The selection and variety gives you a unique experience every turn you make. If your book lover which I am , the smell of the turn of page brings you back to the library of yesterday but better finding treasures you never knew existed. The eye candy of Fashion, colors to tempt to eye to decorate your home and life . And that Omg!! I can't believe this!!! I remember having this when I was this old.....I'm gonna get it ....item!! This is just the start.... The Staff is absolutely Amazing!!!! Friendly, just like family from moment you walk in the door. It's refreshing to shop local in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. I loved my experience as my children who ranged in ages from 14 to 5 . We all found a treasure to take home. I do have to add.... being that I have an auto- immune disorder and severe asthma as well as my oldest. It does make wearing a mask difficult at times but I DO and so does my family !! I can appreciate that this establishment takes practice to follow the guidelines to Keep The Public Safe !! Thank You read more

Hands down the best thrift store in N. California! I went the first time because I heard that the proceeds benefit animals in need, then fell in love with the shop and the owners. Puffy's looks like a boutique, with beautifully designed and artistic merchandising, and front window displays that look like those found in high-end department stores. Cool, quirky and functional thrift store finds are offered at excellent prices, and there are new things added daily. I live about 50 miles away in Sacramento, but happily drive to Puffy's to both donate and shop. Love, love, love Puffy's! read more

Excellent resale to help animal shelters! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just visited for the first time and this is a such a hidden treasure of a thrift store. Friendly staff and great selection. Setup is clean and organized. read more

Rob, Gracie and Katie are a wonderful local family that take great care to run a clean, safe and wonderfully merchandised, classy thrift store on the Miracle Mile. I always find multiple fun items, collectibles, clothes, shoes, books and costume jewelry every time I visit. The precautions they take and request of others are to keep all of us safe, AND are mandated by the state and local government, and then they go the extra mile thoroughly sanitizing from top to bottom, changing filters very frequently, having PPE for their customers. This is just a small, family owned business who are doing what is required in order to continue to remain open and assisting our community. Thank you for your AMAZING SERVICE! read more

Love that this store is so friendly and upbeat. The music from the 80's playing made me want to shop longer. This store has it all from a giant wall of books to designer brand name apparel and vintage clothes. I like to go in to buy some crystal vases and such for gifts for clients. There is no more happier and friendlier place than this to shop. read more

Amazing thrift store and aesthetic! I want to go back already!!! Amazing and polite team. So so so nice. Found some cool goodies and clothes to wear. Can't wait to come back read more

I have known the owners for years, I have watched their daughter Katie, grow up to the intelligent, lovely young woman she has become. This boutique is their passion-and it shows in how they have brought it to life. The quality merchandise is clean, displayed attractively, and your purchases help local rescues help homeless pets. Rob, and Grace genuinely care and bring their combined experience to showcase their merchandise, and provide excellent customer service-and Katie shares her parents passion. You will feel welcomed the moment you step in. read more

Absolutely wonderful place and people! Awesome bargains and I adore the fact that animals benefit from the proceeds! Wish I could give more stars! read more

I have shopped 3x at this store in the last 6 months. It's gotta be the best thrifting I've done in ages! The husband wife team have curated the best of used books, dishes, art, clothes (men and women), shoes, holiday cards, scarves for dogs, music, jewelry etc. The store offers two fitting rooms to try on garments, hand sanitizer when you walk in/out, free books in a large basket for "kool kids who klean their room". You get all this in a bright, cheery atmosphere with some of the coolest music playing in the background (New Wave anyone?). Thanks Puffys! read more

Wonderful thrift store, great prices and wonderful people. You get to listen to great music and thrift.

This is one of the best places to visit in Stockton. There are so many treasures and they are displayed beautifully. You will never meet more obliging or thoughtful owners. I highly recommend a visit. read more

This family run store is not only a jewel of a place, but is being run by a wonderful, friendly family. They not only provide hand sanitizer and masks, they work with anyone that has a medical exemption and ask that you please follow the 6 ft social distancing protocols. I overheard a situation while I was there today and just need to clarify that they did not turn anyone away, they simply asked that if they are unable medically to wear a mask as mandated by the state, that they please follow the social distancing (also a state mandate) and they were yelled at and berated by a would be customer to the point that the police needed to be called to make a report. I am not particularly fond of masks myself, but if I want to shop somewhere and they are strict them, yes I wear a mask. People, if you are not willing or can not wear a mask, please don't go into a small business and make such an awful scene and then go and blast said small business on a public forum, especially when they were are willing to work with you, Take some responsibility and just be kind, we are all trying to negotiate through this crazy thing called life. A little kindness goes a very long way. And in closing, if you like to shop at thrift stores, you have got to into Puffy's and check out the merchandise. read more

A wonderful thrift shop that not only offers lots of great items, but also makes a difference in our community by supporting local animal rescues. It's a win-win shopping here. Puffy's also has beautiful displays and great people running it. It's clean, safe, inviting and just a nice place to shop for those little treasures. read more

Amazing staff and owners! Love that this, high end, thrift store gives to save abandoned animals. This is a store i will frequent often, when I'm in the area!! Store is incredibly clean. Owners go out of their way to create a safe environment for themselves, and more importantly, their customers. read more
