I agree with review by Amis, this thrift store has greatly deteriorated the last few years and continues to by overpricing merchandise that are true secondhand and sometimes dated items. I've shopped here for 10 years and have seen the changes. Many items in their "boutique" section, which are supposed to be premium finds, are faded, worn, and/or shrunken down. Other items throughout the store are simply overpriced for their value. I've seen a few items which still had manufacture tags were being sold at similar prices. They've also recently changed their sales to 40% off instead of 50% off. Lastly, most of the volunteers are personable and helpful, but there are a handful who carry a snobby demeanor and make shopping there uncomfortable. Overall, I find myself shopping here less and purchasing less.

If you've ever shopped at an AL store, they're all the same. Lots of friendly staff to help customers, items well organized, fair prices, plenty of space to shop, items not over crowded on racks or shelves. It's a nice atmosphere. The collection is curated towards those with mainstream taste. There wasn't anything unique or exciting--this is typical for AL and not a complaint. It's not trying to be quirky or edgy. It's polite and cozy. Nonetheless, I left with a couple of kitchen towels, a Juicy Couture top, and a bottle of Marc Jacobs perfume, which was graciously wrapped in paper. My total was about $11. Not bad at all!

Staff is really nice and super helpful! This place can get super popular and crowded so come early! I'm always greeted when I come in and usually leave the store with at least 1 item. They seperate the store into 3 sections-- regular clothing ($) boutique ($$) and vintage/antiques ($$$). Cute layout but some items are overpriced. They have sale days so watch out for those, I believe they have an email sign up.

I know this store does good things for the community! However, the few times we've donated, the volunteers have made us feel like they're doing us a big favor by taking our things and that we're disturbing them in whatever they're doing at the time.

It used to be a thrift store with thrift store prices, but now they are just gouging you. $14 for 4 tiny icecream cups, absolutely not. After shopping here for a good seven years,I'm officially done supporting this location and cause.

The ladies here are always so friendly and often knowledgeable on the vintage items. I like that they still have thrift store prices (affordable) and actually put thought into the merchandising and pricing. They separate boutique clothing, and have a separate vintage section which makes shopping easy. They often have really good sales too. My favorite section to shop is the kitchenware (dishes, and glass) and boutique clothes.

I have shopped at the Assistance League Riverside thrift store for years & have found so many incredible items & deals. I have always called their store the "Nordstrom"of Thrift Stores as they have beautiful women's, men's, kids & teen clothes & shoes sometimes never worn with the new tags still on. I love to shop the housewares department & have found name brand pots & pans & cookware items. They have a nice selection of costume jewelry & my first stop in the store is to look at the jewelry case by the check out stands as I have found some amazing gold rings & vintage Disney watches. They have a great vintage room with many oddities from time to time. I love to browse the picture & art section & have found some original oil & water color paintings. The volunteer staff seem to really do their research on pricing most items & price things less than half of the value. The store is always well stocked & new surprises are always popping up on the shelves. It seems like from the donations they get in they put the best of the best items only on the floor. Most all of their items on the floor from their boutique clothes that you could tell were steamed to get out the wrinkles to the glassware & nick knacks which are always clean & well displayed. Most thrift stores you go to things are randomly tossed on shelves but this store is well organized with the departments clearly marked. They have seasonal themed holiday sections with my favorite being the the winter wonderland in December. They also have special displays for all the main holidays like Valentines, Easter so on. They always have "weekly" 50% off sales on certain items & departments. About three to four times a year they have a store wide 50% sale. The "all volunteer staff" have always been very helpful. With their incredible weekly sales they do get very busy & you could tell they do their best to get everyone checked out in a timely manner. I love supporting a organization like the Assistance League of Riverside that is an "all-volunteer"organization dedicated to clothing, comforting and educating the children of our community.
