This was my first time visiting Thrifty Beaches. The place is huge, and we were with my parents. I wasn't out to go thrifting, so I will have to return next time we are in the area. Store was clean and organized. Some of the prices were pretty high. In the very back is the three-dollar bins. There was a couple things I found, but when I saw the price, I l put them right back. Definitely fun to come and look around. 7/29/26 7/29/26 read more

We were going to be in Solvang for few days so decided bring few things to sell and buy of course! First day I had no appt wasn't sure what time I get there. I looked around couple hours kinda check out the vibe of store. Yes I did find stuff I liked. Made appt next day with Adam. The parking slim there but We got lucky 2x able park in front of store. Next day went over the items with Adam. we talked about each item usual where got it, year made, etc I had COA for 1 item rest where done thru check check process takes few hours get validated. Adam was charismatic guy it was easy talk to. He asked what I wanted and he did comps on the items he said what he be able buy at we met sorta middle that i felt ok I let these go. It was process which I was ok with that's how negotiations work. I'm collector of things so I had to be good to part with stuff. I've been thrifing and buying vintage stuff since kid; my mom bought us clothes at Goodwill. That experience carried with me as adult. Thanks Adam next trip back will be Pismo beach i'll bring few more lux items !!! read more

This is a neat concept. It's like a goodwill bins store and thrift store mixed. The bins is where I went. The problem is that there is a lot of trash that should be thrown away and instead they charge $10 an item out of the bins. I luckily found Viori and alo or I would never have bought. In that case both items were in good shape. I like this but definitely think the bin items are way expensive!! read more

Great selection, well curated, and reasonable prices. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in SLO. read more

I went in just to look around and found an awesome Carhartt jacket. This place has a great selection. I met Adam the owner and he is genuinely such a cool dude. Staff was really helpful too. The place is huge. I'll definitely be back to shop again. read more

Cool selection of clothes either on the rack or you can go through the bins at the back of the store too. I found a really cool dress and the employees were really nice and gave me a great price for it. Would shop here again the next time we're in town read more

This thrift shop? Straight up magic. It's not just racks of old clothes--it's like every piece has been waiting around for the right person to wander in and scoop it up. You're not "buying a jacket," you're finding the jacket. The one that fits like it already knows your story and is ready to tag along for the next chapter. The vibe in here is warm and a little chaotic in the best way. Sunlight spilling through the windows, sequins catching your eye, random knick-knacks that make you laugh out loud. The people working are real-deal friendly, not fake retail friendly--they'll hype up your weird finds and probably laugh with you when you try on something ridiculous. What I love most is it doesn't feel staged or curated for Instagram. It feels alive. Like everything in there already had a life and it's just waiting for you to give it another one. You walk out with more than a bag--you walk out with a good mood, some new stories, and maybe a lamp you never knew you needed but now can't live without. read more

While the service was good, the variety of clothing was not as vast as I thought it would be. Definitely a thrift store on the pricier end!

Recently brought a large amount of very expensive clothes in , they were rejected for whatever reason (all of them ) .. which I found weird because they sell stuff that smells and looks as if it was dumpster dived for .. the person who contacted me was rude and snotty to the point I told them to donate them to not have to deal with them anymore . Fast forward two weeks I have found 4 items that without any shadow of a doubt are mine and obviously they were kept and sold :. DO. NOT SELL YOUR CLOTHES HERE . Sad to have such immature children running a business that will obviously run its course just due to bad karma alone . I left one star because they force you to read more

Watch your receipts! I said I didn't want a bag and I was charged for one. You don't give receipts on site so I didn't see the charge. You charged for the bag and then charged the cc fee on top of that. Yes, it's only cents but it's unethical. My previous purchase was for cash but you didn't have change so you came out ahead in that transaction too. Won't be coming back. read more

Pretty insane selection of clothing that has appeal to anyone and any kind of fashion. Prices are fair and you can find that things are underpriced most of the time too. Worker's are all super kind as well and are always willing to help or gather information on clothing or any questions you have. Not to mention the environment filled with colorful and unique furniture/decorations that have you exploring. Overall an amazing experience and definitely a must visit if in SLO! (Got my first carhartt jacket here) read more

Thrifty Beaches - Carhartt Jacket - Used, Vintage & Consignment Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Mid tbh. A lot of the vintage items have NYC vintage shop prices and Deep South goodwill quality. Sure, it's "curated", but have things even been cleaned prior to being put on the sales floor? For example: There's a difference between quality leather being aged/neglected and it just being downright dirty still. I'll happily pay those kinds of prices, but not if a shop can't even be bothered to QC the cleanliness of what they're gouging us for. I felt dirty when I left, and that's saying something considering I've lived "out of" a motorcycle for weeks at a time... read more

Love shopping here for myself and the fam. Huge selection of quality pieces. Everything is extremely well organized. I can spend a whole day in here just finding hidden gems. Obsessed. read more

Really great thrift store!! Maddie was super great and the owner was nice! Would definitely come back, reasonable prices and a great selection read more

nice selection of vintage clothing including shoes, tshirts, leather jackets, lettermans jackets, dresses pjs, and purses. The prices are mid to high range. All items are in really good shape, and priced. There are also several bins of clothing to dig through...not sure of prices because I didn't find anything I wanted. Very clean, open, and mellow atmosphere. read more

I recently went to Thrifty Beaches to sell clothes, and they said it takes a couple of days to turn around. I waited a few days till I received a text, and when I went there to see my offer for my clothes, the day I got the text, they said our manager isn't in today, so we can't offer anything. I returned the next day, and they told me their manager only buys clothes during certain hours. Then I was messaged and told my clothes were going to be donated because it was past the 5-day drop off, even tho it's been on their timeline, and they could not help me. They are inconsiderate of time and show poor ethics towards community consumers. read more

This place has an incredible selection of tons of different vintage styles and eras. I can't get over how huge the space is and the quality of the items. Pricing is very reasonable and I could spend hours looking at everything. The staff was so nice and helpful, too. This is definitely worth a visit! read more

They always have sales going on somehow. Very large curated selection. Store has a set up that makes sense. I also did a trade here once and Maria was very quick in accepting the trade. Staff are also friendly. read more

My son's favorite place to visit when we come to slo. Huge selection and well curated. Slightly pricey for thrift but good for 1-2 pieces at a time. read more

You can tell the owners are so hardworking & full of creative ideas. They have great taste & I've never ever had a bad experience. They are nothing but nice. Love shopping at TB! read more

Was going to do 3 stars before I saw the owners bratty replies. The place is fun to look around in but so many items have stains or some sort of funky crust on them. I feel like that should be taken into account when pricing but it doesn't seem to be. read more

Went to the headquarters and didn't love it. Lots of stained or ripped clothing. I could see this place being a college kids dream closet though. Prices were hit or miss. Some $20-$30 items and a lot of $40-$100 items. I will stick with less costly thrift stores. read more

Amazing store, owners, & selection. Keep it up! Pricing is quite high considering everything is used but everything is curated so it makes sense! A cooler version of a consignment or thrift store. read more

Im from SF and pretty familiar with the fashion scene -- and honestly, this place was super disappointing and kinda overpriced. Everytime I walk in, I'm shocked at how expensive these clothings were for the quality it was. Might be a their #1 hater, might not. I saw a 100% polyester jacket priced at $78 and assuming just because it's "vintage". Let's be so fr. Additionally, the bins were also really bad. Edit: The owner did express how they spend time and money choosing these clothing items, which was nice to hear, but im wondering how they're able to make profit if they spend thousands of dollars on these items? Not to mention, the lack of professionalism of their reply when this is a Yelp review.. read more

Great people and a great selection of goods! Love seeing how far this place has gone.

This place rocks. I always find a great selection of very unique items. I travel here from Phoenix and we always visit this shop.

Love the selection of vintage men's and women's clothes, they offer trade ins, buy and have bins to dig through.
