I was not struck by the prices, variety, or clientele of this thrift store in comparison with the many other thrift stores in the area. It was also more cramped.

3 Stars: The whole thing smacks of effort. (by Ned M.)

This store is part of what I call the "retro-city empire," part a company that owns several vintage stores in the bay area including Held Over on Haight and Sharks in Berkeley. Clearly this store on Mission street is not getting the best they have to offer. Selection does not turn over often and is picked over. The atmosphere is nice and the store is scrupulously organized with a fine selection of new merchandise.

PROS: New Merchandise. Organized.
CONS: Picked over.

5 Stars: I mean world class shop (by Niels W.)

I am living in Norway and most of my clothes, 80 % of my wardrobe consists of stuff bought at Mission Thrift. I am so happy to find my favorite bib overalls, always a lot of them and a lot of thin, faded and almost torn t shirts, clothes I really feel comfortable. So I happily take the 11 hours flight to SF to go to Mission Thrift to get my clothes.
