Cute little vintage shop, not much I would buy here at least the time I went but still had very cool items. Did buy some incense that smelled really good 10 for $4. Lady was nice unsure if the reviewers were referring to the same lady, but the one I met was nice, will stop by again if I'm in town. I come around here for the farmers market down the street. read more

9/22/24 What draw me in is the mailbox at by the entrance & the BLUE cow The way I see it, VINTAGE= $$$$ Lots of antique, retro looking items for collectors or for those seeking nostalgic items for gifts of for decoration. There are mugs, pins, clothes & other household items that are fairly unique. As you would imagine, prices are on the steeper side considering most items are old/used, maybe rare. Closest cross streets, Harvard & Bonita in the city of Claremont, quaint & quirky, situated right next to a sandwich shop & a succulent garden. read more

Very nice vibes, shop owner was very friendly and helpful too! Loved everything they sold, could spend hours looking at everything they have to offer! Definitely give it a try, you can even visit the farmers market right after (Sundays only)! (: And there's another store attached to it! It consists of a lot of plants and pots, also recommend that store. read more

Had a really fun time visiting this little shop, we thought of it as a trinket store. The owner was super sweet, handing out candies to kids for Halloween. read more

Sweet cashier. Told us about the nursery being closed on Wednesday! Amazing selection, read more

Vintage Odyssey - Shopping spree - Thrift Stores Near Me - Claremont, California

What a shame. Great little shop, but horrible vibe. And these bad reviews for this woman go back at least half a dozen years. Obvi the co-owners either don't care, or are incapable of doing something about her. No receipt, no tax? Hmm. Hope she's not helping herself. (I bought the black Eagle that was hanging on the wall, for $18.) Would never go back, despite the super cute inventory. read more

was here two hours ago, felt like a racist interaction at some point, I asked about the corset I bought & she asked me if I knew what a bra size was. Im Mexican not stupid. read more

Came to this little shop with my sister and nieces today. The shop is located in the cutest area. It's small but has a lot of things to look at. The items are vintage and unique. Prices are reasonable. The clothing pieces were mostly for petite/small women. My niece is a size 0-3 (xs-s) so the clothing is perfect for her. She has bought a few dickies there in great condition for $18. You are able to use the dressing room to try on clothes. If the person at the shop would interact with customers and was more friendly and offered help if needed it would be such a perfect shop to stop by! read more

It's hard not to notice Vintage Odyssey because of the cool masks hanging on top of the entrance. The decor of this nice store is very well arranged, gets your attention, lures you in. Hard to miss it! Fun store to browse with cool, funky merchandise, nicely displayed. Lots of cool home decor items, clothes, stationary, a bit of everything vintage and not only. A bit crowded inside, lots of people were shopping here, but it made the whole experience more fun. read more

$5 for a sticker??? Overpriced. Not only that but awhile back I was with my friend as I was walking with her a lady whom worked there was following and even looked like she was snapping pictures of us. Never again. And the items that are being sold aren't up to date.. read more

Interesting little place for specialty type items, lots of cactus and succulents. Different artsy type items to choose from. Very specialized and interesting. read more

Be careful when shopping here! The old lady behind the counter must be racist!! she showed the white girl in front of me so much kindness, gave her a smile, but right when I walked up there, she immediately stopped smiling and wouldn't even talk to me. She didn't even say "thank you for shopping with us" even though she's been saying it to everyone else (yes, they were all white). read more

Cool vintage items in beautiful Claremont village. The lady at the counter didn't greet us. When i said hello she didnt reply and looked rude as if she didnt care to speak. Horrible customer service read more

You'd think after so many bad reviews the service here would improve. The older white lady couldn't be any more unfriendly, literally eating while I'm purchasing my order. She doesn't say anything at all to you either, her demeanor will make you uncomfortable and seem like it's a burden on her for you to be shopping there. It's a shame because I love shopping at this place but I'd rather avoid that lady... read more

The owner must be completely oblivious with the customer service his female employee is providing. My daughter was in the store today, had an interest in purchasing a mood ring and a silk dress but was treated like a thief. My daughter is presentable, polite and exudes a calm ora. The woman in the store persistently followed my daughter throughout her entire visit, made her feel unwelcome. My daughter was asked to leave her very tiny purse outside of the changing room while trying on a dress. There was another customer in another changing room who had her purse with her and was not asked to leave her purse while trying on items. This woman is driving business away. I encourage the owner to provide this female employee with customer service training or simply pay attention to how certain customers are treated. My daughter did not warrant this type of treatment. Of note: the male employee was kind and attentive and tried to intervene. read more

Great little vintage shop to find some old nicks and nacks. They have some rare and some very unique items available. Nothing stood out too much for me at least but I'm sure you might find something to tickle your fancy! read more

Vintage Odyssey - Outside - Thrift Stores Near Me - Claremont, California

Great finds here but oh my god. The old lady is evil. She was so mean to a friend of mine that was being so kind to her and called me a liar when I presented my military ID for a discount. I saw another review calling this lady an ogre and honestly that's the only way I would describe her. No warmth or kindness whatsoever. I feel bad for her niece who co owns the store with her because she's gonna keep losing customers as long as this lady's working here! Never coming back again. read more

Honestly this store is very cute and has an array of vintage items that I love looking at. The only downfall of the store is the staff. The older woman that works there has been unfriendly everytime I come into the store. It would be a much more pleasant experience if she would greet customers and act kindly. read more

Cute store however the customer service is nonexistent. I am new to the area and decided to shop local in Claremont on shop small Saturday and was disappointed with their lack of acknowledgement of their customers. A simple "welcome" or " let us know if you have any questions" goes a long way. Even after purchasing a $10 item I didn't even get a thank you. Overall did not feel welcomed which did not leave a good impression, will likely not be back. read more

This place was super cute! If you're looking for a small business that caters to your vintage needs this is the spot for you! They have really cute accessories that are trendy and some vintage pieces as well! The clothing was also cute and their prices are reasonable, the home decor items were also reasonable and they have many items to select to fit your different vintage needs! read more

Absolutely phenomenal collection of quirky, eclectic stuff as well as being pretty versatile in options. The furniture was my favorite! So many colorful shabby chic dressers, benches and display cases. I wanted everything. Overall, the place was definitely on the more expensive side (in comparison to "thrift store" prices), but for the most part the shop was pretty reasonably priced when regarding the quality offered. I can't wait to come back to pick out some items for my move. read more

Vintage Odyssey - I wanted this bench!!! So cute right?? But I couldn't justify spending $250 on a piece of furniture I don't need... - Thrift Stores Near Me - Claremont, California

The only way to leave a review was to leave at least one star but they don't even deserve that. My daughter and her friends frequent the store regularly and today when it came time to pay my daughter was short $2. Her friend offered to cover the difference but the older blond woman would not accept my daughters partial payment on her ATM card telling her that she was pathetic because she didn't have the total amount in her account. I am beyond angry that this reject washed up hipster would talk to anyone like that, let alone my child. Our days of shopping there are over. From the other reviews I see that plenty of others have been subject to her less than stellar customer service skills. read more

Cute place with some awesome vintage treasures that are fairly priced. My kids come to shop for clothes n hair accessories (super cute stuff ) but i come for the INCENSE . My kids hate incense lol but the kind she has literally smells like fragrant perfumes . Just amazing . Was there yesterday but heading back to take my grandma cause she loooves them too read more

Haven't been here for a long time but sure glad I came today! Found a really cool vintage beautiful velour shirt that I bought for a reasonable price as well as another unusual hand painted vintage item. Shout out to Kristen who rang my purchases up and also answered some questions. Totally kind and knowledgeable and awesome. She deserves a raise! Thank you! read more

It's really interesting that many people have had bad experiences with the older female employee. I wasn't acknowledged until I was by the till, and I smiled at her while I was looking at the jewelry. She didn't return the smile and instead kept a watchful eye on me the rest of the time I was browsing. I was going to make some purchases, but I did feel hurt by the way that I was treated, so I decided to take my business elsewhere. The jewelry is nicely priced, but the clothing selection is limited, and I don't really plan on coming back. There was another vintage store in the village that had kinder employees and left me with a more positive experience. I love supporting small businesses, so this was unfortunate :( read more

This store do have some cute stuffs but the this old lady that work there is very rude and unfriendly! After couple visits I don't think it's worth it to spend money there to receive such a bad service! At some point I think this lady is racist! I wonder how long will this business last! read more

I love this store so much, the only issue is this older woman who not only treats me but my friends like dirty thiefs. (Which we are not) whenever I go to this store I ALWAYS pay and i put things back. This nasty woman's attitude ruins the whole experience. It makes me not want to go to this store anymore. She targets younger kids making them feel unwanted. The younger lady who works there is the absolute opposite. The older woman is driving away customers. read more

Very cute store besides the 70 year old ogre that runs the store on most weekdays. We entered the store and immediately she was eyeing us up and down and later accused us of stealing items. These 2 girls that witnessed the OLD woman's unacceptable behavior requested to return their items after they bought them because they refused to purchase something from this old skank. Once we left the store we talked to the girls and they said they refused to buy anything from there ever again. read more

Awesome vintage shop with amazing vintage lighting, colorful furniture and a great selection of home decor! From retro wall art to fun and unique... so far got a great deal on a cool vintage land line phone with an awesome 80's ring, vintage lighting, some orange knobs for a dollar each giving life to an old vintage desk and i like their selection of vintage clothing read more

Great selection of cute, vintage clothes at good prices. Very nice staff. Keep checking back. They always get new items. I got some really cute vintage denim shorts for $20. More stylish and better quality than new shorts I've seen at Forever 21 for the same price. Worth checking out! read more

Super cute thrift store. Plenty of shorts, a good selection of dresses and tops for women. As well as, sunglasses, patches, rings/brooches/necklaces. There's a dressing room too, which is a plus in my book. Small corner selection of clothing for men! Owner was nice :) read more

I bought items that I do love, but there was ZERO customer service. I was on the verge of walking out of there without buying anything just bc management refused to acknowledge me but acknowledged every other person that walked in? I've seen reviews like this so just a heads up. read more

First time in here, it's SUPER CUTE inside and on the outside. I adored everything they had in the store. Like other reviewers, I sensed quietness and unwelcoming from the employees. No greeting and was not acknowledged despite passing by multiple times. This would be a perfect shop if employees were more inviting and enthusiastic. Whatever you are going through, John 3:16, Jesus loves you! read more

Very cute store with a nasty old wench of an owner. Seriously, this lady is awful. She made my little sister spend her ENTIRE gift card in one shop visit because apparently it is hard to deduct the amount spent and make a new gift certificate - or heck, even write it on a little slip of paper! I have no idea why this woman is so bitter, and it sucks because the store has nice stuff. She assumes every young looking person is trying to steal when really they are just browsing the shop. Take your business elsewhere. read more

I love this place. My friend took me here and she says they constantly keep new inventory and I believe it since their clothing section is relatively small but they seem to be hand picked because a lot of their stuff is so beautiful! The lady working there is very nice. Prices are pretty reasonable but they aren't prices like thrift store. I got a cropped sweater for $12 which I love so much. I'm looking forward to visiting again. read more

amazing selection of vintage clothing and pins and accessories in here! i had no issues with staff, and there was a dressing room. definitely want to come back again in the future. read more

Cool local vintage store! Although things are a bit on the pricey side, it is worth the stop.

Every time we visit the village,my daughter and I stop at this cool place(my daughter love's the designer)we feel very comfortable shopping there,the ambience of this place is very unique a must stop for your retro clothing and memorabilia,the playing cards are a original and cool idea,Thank you SHALOM. read more

I went today with my friends and it was such a good store filled with amazing vintage stuff. The owner was so kind to all of us and let us try on as much clothes as we wanted and was just an amazing person over all. I 10/10 recommend you to shop here it is so cute with such nice service! read more

I have always loved this store for the ease of finding kitchsy, cute vintage + upcycled things. I have for years recommended this store to people I know and have even wrote about it on my blog. I'm giving two stars because the store sells great things, but I hesitate to continue giving this store my business when every time I go I'm treated like a thief. And it's not just myself, but every presentably young woman or man. Some of the ladies who work here assume that everyone is stealing before people even walk through the door. The entire time you're browsing, you're being watched like a hawk. If that is not uncomfortable enough, I have witnessed one yell at a young girl exiting the fitting room just because she thought she was going in there with a purse? I've shopped here so many times and I am often happy to spend my money at this store, but I don't want to support a business that doesn't know how to appreciate its customers. You can't run a successful business if you can't make customers feel welcome and if Vintage Odyssey ever goes out of business, the terrible customer service would be the reason why. I hope that something changes so the store doesn't keep losing loyal, PAYING customers. read more
