City Opera Thrift Shop

I finally took the time to explore my area. I found this shop online and I had to visit… so I did.

They have a gorgeous selection of art, furniture, vintage glass- and dish-ware, as well as a wide range of clothes (men’s and women’s… mostly women’s).

The ladies that helped me were friendly, and open, I felt welcomed as soon as I walked in. I was greeted with a smile and offered assistance from the get-go. Top notch service!

As I understand, the selection rotates every few months, so you can often find new stock or things on sale.

I will be going back!

Awesome store. Found many rare and valuable items, no junk like in many other thrift stores. Very friendly staff.

This is one of those places you wish you knew about earlier. I'm used to going to places where I have to kind of dig for what I like, but this place...seems to have something I like everywhere i look.
Tip, don't forget to look up and down, don't just stay at eye level. I found a hat I liked which was pretty high up and i'm glad I saw it.

You can tell the people who curate it know what they're doing and that they care - there are amazing brands, quality materials (at the moment - they just put out their fall collection- that includes a lot of cashmere!) You can get inspired by the products they have (I've learned about brands and types of jewelry) and even get ideas from the way they style their mannequins.

I didn't notice it consciously at first, but even the music they play in the store seems to have been chosen with care. I find myself dancing when I go in. That's the vibe i get in here - deliberate and careful curation done with heart.

The people who work here, at least every single person I interacted with, was very kind, friendly and down to earth. Just the right amount of friendly chatter, and no one ever made me feel pressured to buy anything - just made me feel at home and welcomed.

The pricing is extremely fair in my opinion, for the level of quality you're getting. I am trying to learn to manage my wardrobe, decluttering and whittling things down to favorites that I will wear for years, and I think some pieces I recently got here will be favorites for years to come. They're unique items, made of great materials with interesting design.

There is a downstairs where they have books, furniture and housewares like candelabras, espresso sets, that kind of thing. They do take donations.

This is one of my new favorite finds and it's for a worthy cause. I got on their mailing list to learn about events and sales they have. I sound like a salesperson but have no affiliation with them....I just appreciate this place and the people in it. The only 'negative' for me, is I wish it was closer to where I live but I will consider it a place to go when I need to get away. I've been twice and each time found/bought things I loved and have been on my wish list for a while. I'm glad I finally learned of this place; better late than never.

The employees were so very kind and had excellent customer service. The pieces I got are fun & unique and the curated merchandising is inspiring to shop from and beautiful. I already love this store from my first impression and I’m looking forward to my next visit!

This is a top tier thrift shop for a worthy cultural cause. I will thrift at all levels and price points. Love that shopping here is more a curated experience and prices are more moderate than one would find at the Goodwill or Housing Works. But things are presented in collections and well sorted.

Recent visit was “World” themed for eclectic global influenced looks. Summer tunics and floaty pants. Gorgeous caftans. The limited shoes selection did include several Manolos that were priced $60-$90 and would need repair before wearing. There was furniture setup at the front and in the lower level. Can’t wait to see what the next collection will be.

Only wish it wasn’t all the way west, since I’ll be in the area for gallery hopping - so no time to shop. And if I shop, I won’t want to drag my purchase from gallery to gallery. That’s only reason I don’t drop in more often.

When walking down any street of the city, if I stumble upon any thrift store, you know I’m going inside. I’m so glad I went inside this one! The selection was top tier for me, everything from home furnishings to vintage glassware, coats, cowboy boots, and those fedora hats 🥰 were rather impressive! The value for most of the things there were definitely adequate as I left, purchasing a molehair red vintage coat for about $150. They had everything from Coogi sweaters to military style and fireman coats. Service was average as the workers were able to answer questions and it seemed like they interacted only if you interacted with them. The cashier was using her phone behind the register until we were ready to ring up our purchases. I guess that would be OK in a no pressure to go out of your way atmosphere, but to me, it felt kind of standoffish. Besides that I could’ve stayed in this store for hours and buy everything inside if I had the money to do that. Go here!

Amazing stuff reasonably priced. No junk in this shop! Totally worth a visit especially if you love shoes! Lots of great clothes too. Downstairs some great furniture and home stuff.

What a gorgeous store for a fantastic cause! A beautiful mix of contemporary & vintage clothing and home furnishings. There's also a smattering of books. Everything is top quality. A wide variety of clothes - mainly women's fashion's, but a decent assortment of men's as well.
Prices are reasonable - they are akin to a good consignment boutique - so, not cheap but the money is going to a good cause.
