There is definitely some cool stuff here, but it's way too crowded to look through clothes and it smells too gross to spend long enough to look. My nose was stuffy and I was draining after only 10ish minutes. It's dingy and poorly lit, and there's dust everywhere. I doubt the place is cleaned regularly. If you do manage to find something, it's overpriced. The place needs a cleaning and reorganization makeover.

Absolutely SHOCKING what this store has become. Ownership has really diminished any potential this store had left. Over the past two years the store has had less vintage clothing available, which was all they were known for. Don't get me wrong you can still find good pieces buried on a random rack but this is turning out to be a THRIFT store and not a VINTAGE shop. You could easily find a lot of items here across the street at Goodwill. At this point there's NO difference. The shop is VERY crowded, very difficult to browse especially if visiting in a wheelchair or other sort of walker/stroller. Fitting rooms are unattended, store is absolutely filthy. There's so much dust caked on the corners of shelves, racks, and displays. Garment racks are tight, most items aren't worth the struggle skimming through. There are almost no display tables & the mannequins don't spark any interest. The whole second floor can be really dark and hot, absolutely no ventilation. Stairs are a true hazard going up and down. The owner Chase seems to not have knowledgeable or caring staff at all since the service is not just terrible but non-existent. Unless you're selling items or buying something you'll be helped in a friendly and professional matter. You can pick up these type of cues right away. Hours are inconsistent so don't bother showing up on time, parking is tricky as well. I wonder how OSHA hasn't taken a look at this place.

The store was incredibly inaccessible from the start. There is no ramp into the store for a wheelchair user and instead there is a button to press for assistance. The button calls employees outside to lift you into the store — untrained employees who could injure themselves and the wheelchair user, not to mention severely damage a wheelchair if held improperly. It’s also incredibly humiliating, when the store could just install a small ramp. Once inside, the aisles are so small and skinny, with heavy boxes and stands making them smaller. I got stuck multiple times, unable to even turn around in my chair because the aisles were so tight. I had to back out and run into clothes and stands many times. The clothes themselves were a great selection for people midsize and smaller. There were occasional large sizes but overall very minimal. Most of the band t shirts, retro and punk rock sections, and shoes seemed new, not vintage. Prices could range from accessible to incredibly expensive. There is a lower half floor that has a very steep ramp. It’s doable but risky. Getting back up the ramp, a wheelchair user would likely need assistance (I tipped backwards because it is so steep). All in all, way less vintage than expected, inaccessible aisles and entrance (technically not ADA compliant inside), overpriced, and the staff was patronising to me as a wheelchair user. If you are disabled and/or fat, I would not recommend this store.

This is THE best vintage shop in the bay! I love their huge selection and great pricing. If you miss the fun of shopping and finding a treasure this is the ideal place. Always finding the coolest things here

Yes. But call first to see what they're buying. Last time I went it was "70s or older"

You will most likely find brooches there, but quantity and style may vary. I recommend either calling ahead of time, or asking the clerk when you enter the store. Each section of the store has it's own vendor, so they may be located in different areas of the store. It's a 2-story store by the way!
