The owner is genuinely kind -- she even guided me through some tarot when I opened a set I probably…read moreshouldn't have, which I really appreciated. And showed me how she shuffles decks, had me use her cards to try myself - very informative. If she offered some classes of some kind or just events at the shop- I feel like that would be beneficial and of interest. That said, I can't personally shop somewhere that doesn't allow returns once something's opened. The policy makes sense, it's just not a good fit for me. There are quite a lot of items as far as selection for what from the outside looks like a very small shop. Most items are available for much less online, and in my opinion, the value here simply doesn't match the prices. This is really only a place to shop if supporting a local business matters more to you than what you're getting for the money.

Otherwise I suggest visiting during the week. I definitely recommend. I'll be sure to return!

Talk about extraordinary integrity! My husband and I recently donated several items from his…read moreparents' estate to Modfruit. Unbeknownst to us, one of the brooches was very valuable. Instead of keeping quiet, owners Lauren and Geno immediately recognized its value, took it to a local jeweler for appraisal, and set out to return it to us. Because we had recently moved out of state, they went full detective mode - tracking us down through a business I used to own just to get in touch. To top it off, they would not let us compensate them for their time, trouble, and shipping costs, because it was simply their way of saying thank you for our donations. Honesty and customer service like this are hard to find. If you are near The Barnyard, do yourself a favor and stop by Modfruit - you're guaranteed to leave with a treasure, and you couldn't be supporting better people!

They offer kitchenware, glassware, clothes, accessories, books, pins, greeting cards, and much more. I had so much fun looking at everything in the shop. I ended up buying a ton of stuff, including a glass bottle, dishcloth, tablecloth, stickers, cards, paperback, and two small dishes. The only negative was I asked for a dollar or two off the tablecloth because it was ripped and $18 seemed a bit high, but was told no, it was priced as is. In spite of that, I highly recommend Modfruit for a fun shopping experience and a trip down memory lane.

Today, we went in and I was looking at it and could see the older woman saying to her husband in the mirror, "Oh my gosh, didn't you talk to THAT ONE."

I have worked in customer service for a long time and even if you don't like something a customer does, you don't just talk shit in front of them out loud. I instantly told my husband and told him let's get out of here because regardless of how much I wanted that set, they were losing my business.

I feel it's important to report a disturbing experience that I recently had at Spirals Consignment…read morein Pacific Grove. I brought a clothing/shoe consignment in to Spiirals which included 2 beautiful high end leather jackets, both in excellent condition. In the past, within a day or two, I would receive a list of the items received by the shop. After a week I did not receive a list so I stopped by to ask and was told by Abby, the manager, that they were low on staff and volunteers and therefore, no list. I went to the back room and saw that all of my conslgned clothes were hanging on a rack there. I waited another week and returned to the store to find that my clothes were still in the back room but about to be put out on the floor. When I returned the following week I found that some of my clothes were out on the floor but no leather jackets. I asked if they were sold and I was told that they had to check to see where they were. They did not get back to me so I, again, returned to the store and was told the jackets could no be found, probably due to theft. Both jackets disappeared. Spirals accepts no responsibilty for theft or damage. Needless to say this was a very frustrating, disappointing and unpleasant experience. Potential consignors beware.
