This is by far one of the better thrift stores I’ve ever been to! The book selection was very organized, diverse, well priced and everything in excellent condition good enough to rival any used book store! The store is massive and spans two floors with clear sections for art, music, books, home goods, clothing, games and miscellaneous decorations. I highly recommend this store - prepare to spend some time exploring it all!
This place is chock full of goodies! Anything from a pair of earrings, artwork, clothing, books, rugs, furniture to many many other items. A great secondhand thrift store. I have also donated here many times. They are always very kind and will give a little assistance in helping you bring in your items. Check their website, because they do not accept donations every day. Their website will also post any special sales they might have going on. Last but certainly not least, you are helping a great cause by donating and buying there!
What's the point of selling clothes if there's no way for customers to try them on? Especially since the store explicitly caters to the queer community, they should really understand how important it is for trans people to be able to try things on since a lot of clothes don't fit right on trans bodies. The store is otherwise great and if I'd been able to buy any of the clothes that were available this would have been a 5 star review, but the lack of fitting rooms completely ruins the entire shopping experience.
Seems like most of the good stuff has been picked out already since this place is so popular. The inside of the store is very cool tho, and worth a trip just to experience it once. It was also a little dirtier than I'd prefer, but it is a thrift store. I was hoping for a philosophy book section since they had many other sections but unfortunately they didn't have one.
This is the most hoppin' and well laid out thrift stores that I've ever been to. You walk in and it feels like a party. Everything well lit and the decorations create a fun vibe. Sections are distinct and have their own flair. I had a blast walking through the store. They have sections for everything: fancy clothes, vintage clothes, books, DVDs, furniture, kitchen and technology. Staff is super friendly and all proceeds go to great causes.
Love this place! So lively! Good prices! Always good stuff. Parking is two hour parking. Staff is very friendly. They have great art work and so many books!
10 / 10 would do again! Tucked away on Passyunk Avenue in Philadelphia, Philly AIDS Thrift is not just a thrift store but a heartwarming symbol of compassion, community, and a relentless fight against HIV/AIDS. My recent visit to this unique establishment left me inspired, and I'm excited to share my experience with you. Ambiance: 4/5 The moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by a treasure trove of secondhand goods. The space is well-organized, and the eclectic decor gives it a cozy, welcoming feel. Philly AIDS Thrift doesn't have the polished atmosphere of a high-end boutique, but that's not the point. The charm here lies in its authenticity and the sense of community that permeates every corner. Service: 4.5/5 The staff at Philly AIDS Thrift is a team of dedicated and friendly individuals who are more than willing to assist shoppers. They exemplify the store's mission of compassion and inclusivity. The emphasis on service, combined with their commitment to the cause, makes the experience truly special. The Cause: 5/5 What sets Philly AIDS Thrift apart is its mission. All proceeds from the store go to local organizations dedicated to supporting individuals living with HIV/AIDS. This noble cause underpins every aspect of the store, making it more than just a place to shop. It's a place where you can feel good about every purchase you make. The impact of your shopping goes far beyond your closet; it extends to the lives of those in need. Unique Finds: 4/5 Philly AIDS Thrift offers a wide variety of secondhand items, from clothing to books, furniture, and knick-knacks. While you might not always find exactly what you're looking for, part of the thrill is stumbling upon unique and unexpected treasures. It's the kind of place where vintage gems and one-of-a-kind pieces often make their way into your hands. Affordability: 4/5 The prices at Philly AIDS Thrift are generally reasonable and competitive for a thrift store. However, the quality of items varies, so some may require a discerning eye to spot the true gems among the selections. Cons: 3.5/5 One aspect that might deter some shoppers is the limited space. Given the popularity of the store and the constant influx of donations, it can get a bit crowded and overwhelming during peak hours. But this is a small inconvenience when you consider the tremendous good the store does. In conclusion, Philly AIDS Thrift on Passyunk Avenue is more than just a thrift store; it's a place where compassion and community converge. The welcoming atmosphere, dedicated staff, and the opportunity to support a vital cause make it an experience worth having. While it may not have the grandeur of high-end retail, it has something far more precious: the power to make a real difference in the lives of those affected by HIV/AIDS. It's a gem that Philly should be proud to call its own, and every visit is a step towards a brighter future for all.
Large two story thrift store with reasonable prices. Especially good selection of housewares and books. I always find great things in the $1 bins, but it takes some time to dig. 25% off the last Tuesday of the month!
DO NOT BRING KIDS OR ANYONE HERE! Let me start off by saying that my recent visit to this thrift store was an absolute disaster. As a customer seeking a normal thrift store experience, I was utterly appalled by the theme that consumed EVERY SINGLE INCH of this place. It felt like walking into a bad acid trip gone wrong, with no escape from the overwhelming assault on my senses. First off, the store's theme was obnoxiously in your face. Every corner I turned, there were garish decorations, loud music blaring, and employees dressed like they were characters in a low-budget B-movie. I get it, some thrift stores have their own unique vibe, but this was way over the top. It was as if they were trying to force-feed me their eccentricity, leaving me longing for a simpler, more traditional thrift experience. But the worst part, and I cannot stress this enough, was the horrifying and utterly inappropriate content that was on full display. Right there, for anyone to see, including innocent children who happened to be in the store, were pornographic and adult materials, scattered throughout the shelves without any discretion. I was appalled, disgusted, and frankly, disturbed. Thrift shopping is supposed to be a family-friendly activity, not a twisted peep show. What kind of thrift store thinks it's acceptable to subject unsuspecting customers to such explicit content? It's beyond comprehension. I understand that people donate a wide variety of items, but it is the store's responsibility to curate and filter what they put out for sale. This complete lack of oversight and disregard for the well-being of their customers is unforgivable.I left the store feeling violated, with an uneasy feeling that stuck with me for the rest of the day. It's one thing to have a themed thrift store, but it's an entirely different story when that theme involves sexual and explicit material. I strongly urge parents and anyone with a sense of decency to steer clear of this establishment. In conclusion, my visit to this thrift store was a nightmare I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. The overwhelming and relentless theme, coupled with the open display of pornographic and adult content, made for an experience that left me feeling violated and disgusted. If you value your sanity and want a normal thrift store experience, I implore you to find another place to shop. Trust me; it's not worth the psychological trauma.
Lots of treasures to explore at Philly AIDS thrift, whether you’re looking for gender-affirming clothing, want to browse records to inspire your Spotify playlists , or looking for holiday decos . Might even be a good idea for a low stakes date because you can tinker with gadgets while you chat up your person of interest …
