"I love this shop, I love the owner, and I have for more than eight years. I owe easily a third of my closet to this owner and her very well-vetted and fashionable staff. Her approach to ecommerce over Instagram is inspired, the featured artists at the shop are great, the music is always on point, the vibes are always impeccable. The clothes themselves are generally available in a pretty decent size range, though the straight sizes are always going to be most plentiful. Pretty solid masculine fashion selection, though similarly the feminine fashion section in a resale shop is usually going to be more popular. Aisles may be a bit thin for some wider wheelchairs, but most of the pass-through spaces should accommodate most people. The staff are incredibly personable and willing to meet your needs, don't be afraid to ask. Another local guide said something in a 3-star review about being "basically yelled at" to put on a mask, and I want to address that. At this business, which values equity and inclusion, it's clearly posted that some days and times are specially reserved for different customers purposes or that services change due to different staff capabilities. For example, I've seen them block out time for one-on-one shopping experiences or personal/small party shopping reservations to accommodate different customers; additionally, the shop is only available to buy clothes from potential sellers at certain times to keep staff from getting overwhelmed. When these special events or scheduling idiosyncrasies occur, those periods of time when something unique is happening are clearly posted on signage both online (check their Instagram) and in store. And just like sometimes parts of the store are dedicated to sellers or private buyers, certain times are reserved for people who need those around them to wear masks. That hasn't stopped just because some people are tired of wearing them. If you can't read signage, and one of your hobbies is writing reviews, I can't help you. Anyway. b resale is great, their Instagram is always a delight, selling with them has always felt fair, and the pieces i've gotten there have been worth every penny. As of the date of writing this (early March of 2024) they've recently fallen victim to some vandalism that they've openly discussed dealing with and proceeding from on their Instagram. They could definitely use some community love, so go check them out!"

"A colorful and well-organized spot for thrifting clothing! The sizes are clearly marked, and they have a fun selection of jewelry and accessories. I didn't find anything in particular this time around, but I would definitely come back!"

"Very very cool store with some funky and artsy pieces. Really friendly staff and fun community. Love the weekly pop-ups as well."

"One thing that I don't appreciate about this store is how they don't check their donated items thoroughly to make sure that there aren't any stains or weird smells. For example, I almost bought this green top, but once I tried it on my lungs were engulfed by the smell of nicotine. I reported it to one of the people who worked there, and when I told them how bad this smelled, they didn't care. Instead, they put it back on the shelf right in front of me. This place constantly advertises how these clothes are "lightly worn" when they really aren't. I found several other items just like this, or ones that had really bad stains on them. I don't care whether it's cute or not. People are not going to buy items that have a strong putrid smell of nicotine. Do better"

"This place has potential, it’s a cute shop in a great location. They have tons of local artists items and lots of earrings. On Fridays it’s mandatory to wear masks, the people working there aren’t necessarily rude but they aren’t friendly at all. I was basically yelled at to put on a mask because it’s Friday, not even sure what that means. Prices are a little on the high side but with location it’s expected."
