I will say that the first few rows are much stronger than the back rows, but that is also where you can find some real gems almost immediately when you walk in. The selection ranges from small trinkets to furniture to wall art and some truly unique pieces that I have not seen elsewhere, many of which have become favorites in my home. The staff here are also incredibly kind and personable and have actually taken the time to start conversations and get to know me, which makes the experience even better. One fun touch is their raffle system, where purchases earn raffle tickets that carry over to the next month, adding a little extra excitement to every visit. This has become one of my go to spots, and you can easily spend about an hour browsing just the first few rows alone.

This has always been my favorite and go to thrift store over the years. The prices have…read moreconsistently been wonderful, and because pricing is managed independently at the store level, it never gets outrageous the way some larger chain thrift stores can. There are multiple sections of the store that are especially rich in great finds. The kitchen section is fantastic, with tons of glassware and kitchenware to dig through. They also have a large selection of wall art and picture frames. You'll also find plenty of trinkets, vases and planters, and furniture scattered throughout the store, which really adds to the treasure hunt feel. The main body of the store is filled with many clothing racks, and I've found a lot of great brands here, including plenty of Levi's jeans and similar staples. This is always the thrift store I recommend when someone says they want to start thrifting but don't know where to begin. It's approachable, affordable, and consistently rewarding. The staff has always been wonderful as well. There are a few employees who have worked here for years, and every interaction I've had with them has been pleasant and friendly. Sometimes the store can feel a little chaotic, but honestly, that just adds to the fun of searching through everything. Overall, I don't think I've ever left this store empty handed.

I come from very far away to go to this thrift store and even though its a bit small and hard to…read morenavigate, I JUST LOVE ROOTING AROUND THERE. There have been a few employees that I am not sure love their job...BUT THEN THERE IS DARLENE. Darlene (and even Mike) are the shining stars in this place and they make up for any deficiencies. And if the truth be known, Darlene is one of the reasons we go there- she is a beautiful soul with a heart for people and I have seen many other people come in who also greet Darlene by name! So she knows her folks- and when you know your folks, you are treated right and want to keep coming back. There isn't enough room here to express our appreciation for Darlene. Mike, the current manager, is a good one, too. He is kind and warm and he genuinely cares about his customers. One day this will all be gone. Time and space will overtake us and we will all move on. BUt for now, this is my place, and I enjoy every minute I am there. Darlene, don't you ever change. And Mike, steer that ship! You are appreciated more than you can imagine.

Advent Calendar: I have to confess that I've had an Advent calendar every Christmas for most of my…read morelife and intend to keep getting one for every Christmas season to come. An Advent calendar is essentially a countdown to Christmas beginning on December 1st and lasting until December 24th. There are 24 numbered "doors" or "windows" to open. Behind each one is a piece of chocolate (usually Christmas themed). Popping the chocolate into my mouth each year instantly brings me back to the best Christmases of my childhood. Typically, I opt for a more Christmas themed image, but being the Star Wars fan that I am, I was gifted with a Grogu stylized one from The Mandalorian. This particular calendar is distributed in the U.S. by Galerie Candy, and I believe the chocolate is made by Jean-Talon Chocolate in Canada. My only minor complaint is it seems like a wasted opportunity to not make the chocolates into various shapes from the Star Wars universe (ships, characters, weapons), they are instead the same shapes found in other Jean-Talon Chocolate Advent calendars. Luckily, that means they also have the same great nostalgic taste and are Doughboy approved Doughboy_Food_Reviews

I wish I liked shopping here but every time I come in I am reminded why I don't. Cincinnati has…read moremore options these days and Castle House--a local original for kids clothes, and where my family bought my clothes as a child--won't last if they keep treating customers poorly. I even have a gift card and can't bring myself to stay long enough to spend it. The staff is cold and unkind and when my daughter respectfully picked up a stuffed animal to show me they acted odd and uncomfortable. She showed me another stuffed animal and the lady ushered my child over to a basket of toys saying "these are the toys you can play with". She wasn't playing with the stuffed animal, she was holding it out to me to see. You are in a family friendly neighborhood with many families walking around together for meals, shopping, etc. Do not sell children's toys if you don't want children to touch them. It is bizarre behavior, and reading the other reviews, seemingly not uncommon. I always feel confident taking my young daughter to nice stores, restaurants, and the like, but when I'm at Castle House I feel judged and like my business turns them off. Also, in terms of shopping their clothing, everything is organized by size, not item, which is very scattered and hard to shop--not to mention hard to find matching sibling outfits.

Like most kid's clothing boutiques, most of what they carry is expensive. I usually only come when I need something for a specific occasion. Also, a lot of their clothes are more of a dressy feel. They have a few outfits for casual wear but most are fancy. I come here when I need bows, dressy sweaters, dressy shoes, sandals, or other certain specifics. If I need a dress for a specific occasion I'll come here. I usually don't shop here just for everyday wear. However, their clothes are cute. The service is always very welcoming and accommodating. Super sweet people.
