Out of the Closet - Oakland

"I work in HIV and I am pleased about this agency/retailer meeting and giving back to the community in a practical tangible way. The color-coordination and organization is extremely pleasing to the eye, making it much more easy to shop. Items are great quality, it’s clean, and spacious. My kids like thrifting so this is a great choice."

"My first time here from out of state, thought I’d see what the thrift scene is like out here I found 2 jackets and when I went to pay the cashier looked at me with a nasty attitude and then looked at the tags on the jackets and claimed they had the wrong tags on them and the price for them wasn’t correct so she made up some prices on the spot and wasn’t trying to hear me out that I found them that way. I ended up leaving with just one jacket priced $20 higher than what the tag said because it was chilly out but I couldn’t help but feel taken advantage of This was my first time in and never even heard of this store till this visit Not sure if I’ll return to this location again in the future It’s not my fault your employees couldn’t tag an item properly and I shouldn’t have to pay for their mistakes Above all they had a semi-decent selection of clothes, prices were whatever some higher than what you’d find for the same item online but I guess that’s how they do things out here"

"Not what I was expecting! I figured it was going to be just another high priced thrift store in the city. But, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the prices were AMAZING, and the clothing was in AMAZING condition. Clean and well organized. I found a pair of Levi shorts (maybe worn twice) and my boyfriend and I each found a pair of pants for 30$! Love every piece we found! Will definitely be going back. Shout out to the girl working, Ellen, she was so helpful and just super cool. They even offer an excellent rewards program. Thank you Out of the Closet, for everything that you do for our community.!!"

"Do not miss this spot! What a wonderful thrifting shop - everything is very well picked. All the clothes were new, great qualifying, and clean! The prices were amazing (coming from someone who lives in NYC) the most expensive price I saw was $14. The major downfall is that they don’t have dressing rooms - so I couldn’t select any jeans. The folks that work there are also really kind. And they have a rewards program for every $1 spent. I walked out of there with over 15 pieces of clothes for $60. They’ve also got books and some small home decorations."

"Mostly clothing but a variety of other treasures....a little bit of everything. I noticed a lot of local Oakland stuff. Organized, clean, and fairly priced thrift store. (Ex: jeans were about $10, jackets $12-$18, good condition and quality items...frames and wall art were really reasonably priced). I picked up a framed print for $5 by a local Oakland artist. The employees were pleasant and helpful. Also, the rainbow book wall was mesmerizing."
