    It's Tuesday and it's 3:30pm. The door has a sign that says closed TUESDAYS!

    Absolutely ridiculous! Every business should be required to keep their hours and open/closed days UPDATED on Yelp and Google. If you can't even take 5 minutes out of your day--or have one of your employees do it--to make sure your business info is correct, that's just BAD management. Period. People waste time, gas, and energy driving out to places that are closed when they say they're open. It's beyond frustrating and shows zero respect for your customers. There's no excuse in 2025 for businesses not keeping their info current. Do better!

    Interesting collection of vintage and new. Most prices were very high. However, I did buy a vintage formal dress for $20. I didn't care for the mural on the building. It's offensive. I did think twice about going in because of that, but I had not been to Thriftology since they were previously located on San Pablo. I have been wanting to stop in for a while, so, I was curious. I thought they were more humble, but there's a sign on the door that tells you to leave if you are racist, misogynistic, etc. Of course nobody wants to be around this types of people. I get it. It's your business and you can refuse the right to do business with anyone, but it's so unnecessary and not very inclusive. How can you spot a racist? They have another store around back that carries lots of different spiritual paraphernalia. But not of the God kind. This place is not for everyone. It's definitely not for me. I'm good. There are lots of thrift shops out there that are not biased or woke.

    Fun little thrift store in Palm Desert with limited parking out front. Very friendly staff, orderly but limited selection of jewelry and clothes. I found a fun neoprene purse for $9, which was a fair price for a used purse in good condition. The incense smell is a bit overwhelming when you first walk in, though.

    What a fun shop. It reminds me of a curated thrift shop I remember in the 90s, Aardvarks, in The Valley, except this shop is more organized. The people that work here are delightful and made us feel welcomed, for sure. The owner and I briefly discussed a painting of NKOTB and it turns out both of us preferred Donnie ^_^ We found many statement pieces in the clothing section. If you are into styling photos, or modeling cool vintage stuff, you could find what you need here. The sign on the door made me feel safe, too. It was clear they don't allow a**holes inside. First time I've ever been to a place like that!

    The message on the front door is clear...be kind! They are extremely kind to everyone, and the vibe inside is just relaxing and happy.

    This is the best thrift store in the entire Coachella Valley. The variety of clothes is great, and the sizes are well labeled. Everything is clean and well taken care of. Stock is moved frequently. But what makes the store heads and tails above any others is the owner Dutchess. Dutchess makes every guest feel like family. She is genuinely happy to see you and to help with any questions you may have. She supports local artists and gives them space in her store so it's a nice mix of vintage and handmade. Every business should have a similar message as the one on this door. Seriously cool!

    The store is nicely displayed. Better than a thrift store. I drove 30mins out from my villa to have an experience with this shop. I personally didn't find anything I wanted to purchase due to the cost of items. I respect their pricing. Ss a vintage clothing seller myself I understand unique pieces brings in higher value. I do recommend this shop if you're interested area. However be aware you will not pay thrift store/goodwill prices.

    This is NOT a thrift store. Overpriced consignment like prices. Beware if you are looking for a true thrift experience.

    Would you accept a roll of carpet 14' by 10' in good condition, clean, no stains, color is beige?

    We are so grateful for donations, unfortunately this item is too large for us to store at this moment. Thank you for thinking about us.

    I'm plus size 18-20 and I also love accessories, deco and furniture. Trip planned to Palm Springs in 3 weeks. What can I expect from this store?

    Hi there! We carry sizes 00-24, xxs-xxxxl. We have a ton of accessories ranging from new to vintage to handmade. We sometimes have small furniture and lots of housewares. Every clothing item is washed or new with tags. We hope you stop by and visit…

This location has probably the best selection of clothing I've seen, with that taking up the majority of the store's inventory.

    Here's a strong…read more I've been a longtime thrift shopper, and it's honestly disappointing to see how far Goodwill's pricing has gotten out of hand. These items are donated 100% free of charge, yet many are priced as if they're brand new--or even more expensive than buying them new on sale at a retail store. The whole purpose of a thrift store is to make secondhand items affordable while supporting the community. Instead, it feels like someone with no understanding of value is pricing these donations based on wishful thinking rather than reality. I've seen chipped home décor, worn clothing, used kitchen items, and damaged furniture with price tags that made me laugh out loud. At these prices, I'd rather spend a few dollars more and buy something brand new with a warranty and the ability to return it. Goodwill has forgotten what made people love thrift stores in the first place. Until pricing becomes reasonable again, I'll gladly take my business to local thrift stores where donated items are actually priced like donated items.
