Great customer service. No one is hovering around you but if you ask for help they are ready to answer your questions. I love the color organization makes it easy to find what you are looking for. There is so much to choose from and a great selection of jeans. My gal pal and I will have to come back again! Can't wait to find a new cool find. read more

The Abbot's Thrift - Store front with my partner in thrifting - Thrift Stores Near Me - Felton, California

This thrift store is fun and has a large selection. Prices and sales were also good. Service at the counter was friendly. The area is cute, cozy, with fresh air, and feels touristy, but like forest and camping tourists. I'd totally recommend shopping here but give yourself a lot of time. read more

This is a fun place. Halloween decorations were 75 percent off after Halloween. Wasn't terribly impressed with men's clothes. Couldn't find anything in women's either. But nice selection of stuff we all had in the 1980's. read more

I used to donate and also buy stuff, until I was surrounded by people from this church where I live, also had three as tenants. Not sure which character was worse, these folks were all excommunicated from the Ben Lomond Church, almost all of them. I understand why. I will never go there, I will never donate again. And as I see from others who commented it seems to be broken junk and over priced. I give them less then one star if I could. read more

It's Okay. It's big and it's full of mostly good things. It's pretty neat, clean and well organized. All the employees I came in contact with were kind and helpful which is just that. So I think their prices are a bit wonky, items like the Italian planter I bought was crazy cheap and a used up pair of running shoes was over ten bucks. But maybe that's just the business of thrift. Last words...the search is real. read more

Donate and shop! Excellent place for antiques and collectibles. Music instruments and all around household goods. Definitely a regular visitor. Many cheap finds to be had. read more

Wouldn't call it a thrift store, more like a wannabe antique store. Outrageous prices that equal that of antique markets. Store smells awful, rarely find anything anymore because staff pulls all the good stuff and sells it online. Every now and then I find a book but that's it. I don't recommend. read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I've shopped here for many years, brought tons of people here, and always said good things about this place. I don't know if management changed or what happened, but when you ask to speak to a manager the most unprofessional, rudest person you could ever encounter comes to help you. I believe his name is Francisco, very rude!!! He needs to take a customer service class, and should not be the face of this store!! Nobody would shop here if they had to encounter him. read more

The great deals and hidden treasures keep me coming back here often. Is it the cheapest place to thrift? Nope. Can you find amazing deals? Absolutely! Know what you're looking for and be ready to take your time. Shopping here can be enjoyable. I always leave with something to appreciate. read more

They need better lighting and to allow leashed dogs. It is a rural area and people tend to spend time there and have their dog aboard.

I went there with various items from myself and friends, the guy outside taking contributions was rude, and barely looked at the table, which is solid oak, new walker with tags, two large pet carriers, and a brand new nice folding bed frame for a twin mattress. He was just not interested in doing his job. They make money from people's donation, but I guess they want new items. read more

Love the ambiance and selection here. The staff are super friendly and genuine. I hope more people consider donating here and keep this place running! Some of my favorite purchases have been made here. Timeless items. The clothes section isn't great for young people but oh well. The prices are also fantastic. I hope they stay that way! read more

This is my absolute favorite thrift shop always great stuff here, clothing knickknacks, etc. highly recommend this place

Haven't been for a couple years. I just went in today with my daughter who's eight, we used to buy all their little dress-up dresses there and it was such a good price always. I was astonished at how expensive they had priced all of their donations! I will not be going back, unfortunately. I really loved them. I'm not sure what's going on or what kind of greed and craziness but all those things are donated and I know that they need that money to run the church but they own all of that property. anyway I'm rambling it's none of my business Just think about what you're doing over there? read more

Five star selection? No, most of it looks like a garage threw up. Five star prices? Not really. But, it's a non-profit, so let's play nice. Besides, it's air-conditioned, well-staffed, thoughtfully organized, with plenty of parking, and I think I saw a cat. It was $600. read more

What is going on Abbott's? I have spent the last 15+ years thrifing in your store. Loved it, heck most of my vintage and holiday pieces are from Abbott's. I spent my money in your store because I knew it goes to a good cause. But since COVID, let's be honest, your prices are often more than if the item was brand new. I have found my donations in your store, priced way above what I paid for them new. Please consider evaluating both your community of donators and buyers and return to the mission of why you are raising money - for the community. Because right now, it feels like we are all getting taken advantage of especially since the quality of items your on the floor aren't what they once were. read more

Whenever my partner and I are staying at her family's cabin we make a run to The Abbot. We regularly find things we want or need. On this visit we found a replacement pot for the cabin's coffee maker at The Abbot. It was on a sale day. Two bucks. In the past we got Audubon bird prints, antique photos, books, etc. There's a lot of stuff to pick through that may not be your thing, but thrift shops are like that. The staff have been just fine in my experience. My partner just adores the place. read more

Everything is way over priced for being donated goods. Used to shop and walk out with all kinds of treasures. Now it's a total rip off and a lot of items are broken. If they reduced there prices maybe items sitting on the shelf for months would actually sell. Items are priced at retail or more. Nothing thrifty about this place anymore and I miss the old cat that used to hang out :( 2 stars for the cat. read more

I'm at a 4.5 stars for Abbot's Thrift. I really do enjoy shopping here. Most of the time I don't find anything. But the day I was on a mission to buy a unique end table for my living room, I found it! The prices are low, I purchased my item in a heartbeat. They have an where you can leave your purchased item while you grab your car. I don't have much luck in the clothing section. So I walk back to the back and look around. They accept furniture, camping gear, clothes, jewelry, pictures and more. Happy thrifting my fellow Yelp friends. read more

They have neat stuff to look at. The prices are a bit expensive. They have a nice book section. And they place cool music in the store. Some of the older men employees are really rude tho. read more

Prices have become unreasonably high. Considering the goods being sold are from donations, it seems rather unethical to be selling the respective items for such high prices. read more

rude customer service,I think there's only one older gentleman who always greets you with a smile,but the lady and older gentleman working on Mondays I believe are rude and always forget to adjust color do the week this happens every time I this cashier rings me up and then gets annoyed when I remind him he didn't adjust price to reflects color of the week...merchandise doesn't seem to be rotated often and the prices are a bit high for the items they are trying to sell read more

Fun thrift store nestled in the Santa Cruz mountains. I thinklike with any thrift store, it's hit or miss. I like that it's very well organized, and they had some nice music playing. read more

My favorite local thrift shop! I always find something on an Abbot trip. Great selection of furniture and house wares. Their clothing selection isn't as wide as other places but what they have is always fun to search through. The employees are always helpful and friendly, and their prices are great. I found a large (had to tie it to the roof of my spouse's car) wood shelving/drawer unit once for only $25! If you buy more than one piece of furniture or find something unmarked they're always willing to cut you a deal too. A must do for anyone that loves a good thrifting day. read more

Thrifting is like finding gold - sometimes u work hard to find it and sometimes it just keep coming (I think. Like finding a vein vs some river wash. Right? Maybe more like winning the lottery? But the smaller ones? Na. Maybe making friends? You pass by a lot of normal stuff that you don't want but you buy it anyways?) Thrifting is different from shopping because you don't know what you will see and you have to keep checking in with the same store looking for some random awesome thing. This place was great. Cool stuff. Great prices. I passed on a lot of items I wanted because you shouldn't get everything you want unless you have a garage. Wait - A big one. Because I do have a garage. Seriously why would I lie about having a garage? I just mistyped. Honestly I have a garage and it is organized well. I'm not going to show you a picture of it though because - because nothing. I don't need to tell you. What I did find was Gold! A dvd of Teenagers from Outer Space. read more

The Abbot's Thrift - My Favorite Teens - Thrift Stores Near Me - Felton, California

Super funky, eclectic and a fun stop while visiting Felton. Think Goodwill with a really great book selection! Clothing, Knick knacks, furniture etc Far from upscale but if you like the "hunt and peck" of garage sales, this this little store might be worth a stop! read more

Imagine a giant barn and fill it with all kinds of interesting things with great prices. If you love books, this store has tons of books they also have vinyl and DVD collection that's pretty nice from children's clothes and toys to all types of culinary items, their lamps are practically 50% off 100% of the time, they have a dollar area and located in the parking lot as you walk in small medium to large items are one dollar. And they have bathrooms but you have to ask for the key coffee walk across the street and get a coffee at the white Raven a great local coffee shop that's been there forever And walk down to the Abbott and enjoy the show, it's a great place to just look at things and relax and perhaps you'll find a treasure read more

Gouging on donated goods is never acceptable. Worse yet, being in a location where other stores aren't readily available makes it worse! Trying to place the blame for raising prices being due to "it's for a good cause" or "that's what some other store would cost" is unexcusable! Maybe you need to get those who benefit from your shop to donate their time to bring down prices. Or simply shutter the windows, lock the doors and stop ripping people off... Spend your time looking for donations and let the goods be donated to someplace else. read more

I think your places are really high however I bought an item yesterday a TV to be exact and it's the worst team I've ever had hopefully I can take it back with the receipt read more

Huge, barn-like place with everything one could want to browse! Really nice, funny staff at check-out. And, very important, air-conditioned. read more

What a fun store! Love thrifting to entertain myself, and this place delivers on some funky unique items if you are patient and dig. You will find clothing, household items, dvd's, books, some tools and sporting goods in the back of the store, just an assortment of something for everybody. The people working the store were very helpful and friendly, and did a decent job at keeping the store in some sort of structure and organization. read more

Our favorite out of (our) town thrift shop. It's a must stop for us whenever we're near Santa Cruz. We always leave with really cool finds that add to the eclectic decor of our home. read more

Huuuuuuge thriff store with decent prices and some items totally new (never used). I did not find anything I liked (mostly was looking for pots for interior plants the cheap way that day, but they did not have any). I checked the clothes, purses, shoes...and the best was the enormous collection of well arranged denim jeans. Great job on that. The store smells like mold, so is a little bit turn off for me. I know is a thrift store but I like to enter to a clean smell. Very attractive exterior and worth a visit if you are in that little charming town. read more

The front desk and manager are nice, sweet people. However the guys out front need to be humbled. They get their items DONATED, and I, before today was one of the people that donated a lot to them. However will not anymore. They are very stingy on their prices even when made up on the spot and it's obviously being overpriced. Wouldn't even move down 5% in price. In addition, when donating items especially lately, their main guy out front looks through the items and chooses what to accept and not. They need to understand its donated and not garbage or poor quality/broken. When I go to their competition down the street (Goodwill), they do not pick through items like Abbot. I will not head back here nor donate items here. The guys out front make it an unfriendly experience and not just one time, many times especially of lately. read more

The wording on the side of the building advertises "antiques, collectables and fine art" But when we stopped to take a look it turned out to be a run-of-the-mill thrift store with used modern appliances, clothing and other nothing special household items. This was a large disappointment and a waste of time for us. So if you need a thrift store stop in, but don't expect to find anything special. read more

I always find great clothing, housewares and furniture! Always a fun place to shop! You won't be sorry you shopped there! Remember to donate your no longer needed items! read more

This is one of the most overpriced thrift stores I have ever been to, with that being said they did have a lot of cute vintage things. However, I didn't walk out with anything. I wouldn't mind taking a second look for vintage stuff but that's about it. read more

This is my favorite Thrift store in the valley. Really big store with big selections of merchandise. You can find all sorts of things you won't find at other Thrift stores. Like wet suits, motorcycle gear, sporting equipment, tools, cards and stationary supplies, and assorted pet supplies. Pretty good book selection for adults and children. They don't have discount days any longer but they do have color tag sales and a board at the register where you can look over what else is on sale. They even sell Christmas trees here during the holidays. read more
