Public Estrellas

4.8253 Google reviews

What people praise

  • Highest rating on this page at 4.8

Worth knowing

Sunday's Best Vintage logo

Sunday's Best Vintage

4.7126 Google reviews

Sunday's Best Vintage is a clothing store on Sunset Boulevard specializing in carefully selected vintage apparel rather than general secondhand goods. It sorts stock by general sizing across men's, women's and children's sections, with colored tags marking better deals and a small selection of dollar-item racks. It skews toward a more editorial, vintage-specific selection than a typical thrift store. Reviewers describe spending significant time browsing given the depth of the selection.

What people praise

  • Well-sorted vintage selection, not just general secondhand overflow
  • Organized by size and category despite lacking fitting rooms
  • A mix of price points, including a dollar-item rack for bargain hunting
  • Friendly, welcoming staff reported consistently

Worth knowing

  • No fitting rooms, so trying items on happens in the open store
  • Prices on labeled vintage pieces run higher than a standard thrift store

Out of the Closet - Glassell Park

4.4173 Google reviews

Out of the Closet - Glassell Park is a nonprofit thrift store carrying clothing, CDs, dishes and furniture, run by an organization that also provides free HIV testing on-site from trained clinicians. It positions itself explicitly as more than a retail store, functioning as a community health resource alongside the shop. Sizing skews toward small through large rather than extended sizes. Reviews are more mixed than the other stores on this page, particularly around phone and donation-drop-off interactions.

What people praise

  • Good selection of secondhand electronics, dishware and furniture beyond just clothing
  • Free, stigma-free HIV testing available on-site
  • Long-standing community presence, over three decades in operation
  • Some genuinely good deals reported on items shoppers didn't expect to find

Worth knowing

  • Sizing runs mostly small to large, limited options above that range
  • Racks aren't organized by size, so browsing takes patience
  • Several reviewers report curt or rushed phone and counter interactions

How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Los Angeles thrift stores. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people carries more weight than the same rating from a couple dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much do thrift and secondhand stores charge in Los Angeles? (2026)

Pricing philosophy varies significantly between the stores on this page, from flat per-category pricing to individual item pricing closer to resale-marketplace rates, and none publish a fixed price list we can independently verify.

What to ask before you visit a thrift store

  • Are prices individually marked, or is there a flat per-category system?
  • Are fitting rooms available, or should you plan to try items over your clothes?
  • Does the store run regular discount days or color-tag promotions?
  • Is the size range broad enough for what you’re shopping for?
  • Does the store accept donations, and what’s the drop-off process?
  • Is the inventory rotated frequently enough to be worth repeat visits?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these thrift stores?

We started from every thrift and secondhand store in Los Angeles with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Which LA thrift store has the most reviews?

Society of St. Vincent de Paul Los Angeles Thrift Store has the most Google reviews on this page at 984, reflecting its scale as one of the largest thrift stores in the city.

Are these nonprofit thrift stores, or private businesses?

It’s a mix. Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Goodwill Los Angeles Campus and Out of the Closet are all nonprofit organizations, while Public Estrellas and Sunday’s Best Vintage are privately run secondhand and vintage shops.

The bottom line

Society of St. Vincent de Paul is the safe default for sheer selection and scale, while Public Estrellas edges it out on rating and fair, transparent pricing. Whichever you visit, check whether pricing is flat-rate or item-by-item before you start browsing.
