Threads

This is one of the best thrift stores in the area. There are two kinds of thrift stores: the Goodwill kind, where they have everything, multiple brands a d mainly crap, but where if you work hard, you can score some good deals; then there are the «specialty» shops where items are more carefully selected and there are better brands and higher quality clothes and accessories. This store is definitely the latter.
Reasons to love it:
Great organization: everything is arranged according to size, which is rare for many of these stores, but makes shopping much more pleasant a d efficient.
Service: the lady who works there is extremely likeable. She is usually wearing hats, which she told me, are her favorite things to hunt for.
Music: she had some old music that I couldn’t identify perfectly but it fit the atmosphere very well.
Great products: you can generally find good quality tops, jackets, jeans and even shoes. The other day I got a Nina Ricci purse for like $ 20!
Threads is on the same street as a few other thrift shops and if you are like me, that sounds like a day trip!

Threads is by far the best resell store on the central coast, not only are the employees helpful, but they are personable and friendly. The store has an amazing collection of vintage treasures along with the lowest prices for amazing finds! I want to send a special thank you to Alexis for going above and beyond she has the best customer service I have ever experienced! I will highly recommended THREADS to whoever wants an amazing find!

I never fail to find a treasure (or five), every time I visit threads! They carry a wide variety of fabulousness, and I always have a ball searching for goodies with Alexis! Best thrift store on the central coast for both vintage treasures and contemporary clothes. My go to spot for sure!

THIS is THE BEST THRIFT STORE IN MORRO BAY, by far… The best selection and most curtious staff and owner. Very colorful indeed. :)

Small, but well edited. More of a vintage shop than a thrift store. The owner is wonderfully quirky and super friendly.

Great little thrift store in Morro Bay. Friendly and helpful folks who run the place cut us a deal on a few dresses so we got a great deal. They’ve got some real vintage clothing from the 50s & 60s and a few pieces from the 40s. Not a very big store, but they have a second store on the other side of the street they told us to go to for some other items we were looking for, which made it feel like a real community in a swell small town.

Stopped in this resale boutique because I saw a cute lacey umbrella in the window. The employee was very nice and helpful. I browsed the vintage clothing and retro décor to see if there was anything that needed to go home with me. They have a nice selection and a wide range of styles and products.

One of my «go to» places when visiting Morro Bay. The music is great, store is clean and organized, prices are reasonable on most items and a lot of the items are fun and quirky. Even if you don’t find anything to your liking, it’s a fun place to browse.

Fun feel. We found bicycle apparel there for dirt cheap. Women’s jersey’s that sell for $ 80+ were tagged a $ 9. She either didn’t do her homework on what Cannondale apparel goes for or wanted it out the door since her core business is retro and vintage.
Men’s stuff; not so much.

If you are a gal looking for some cool vintage wear, Threads may be the place to go in Morro Bay. If you are a guy looking for some thrift store duds, this isn’t for you. They had just one small rack of men’s clothing. There was a lot more men’s clothing at the antique mall across the street. Sadness.

Super cute store with lots of retro & vintage clothing. Not all of it may be your style but you will have fun looking. Prices are very fair as all the items we saw were in excellent condition. I found a cute retro dress in and several blouses. Can’t wait to check back. BTW: The older lady that works there is an absolute doll. The day we visited she was dressed up in a mix of retro & current… sooooo cute!

At first when I saw this store I thought it was a thrift shop as the side of the store reads «thrift» but actually a resale shop– is it a consignment store? I am not sure but it definitely does not have thrift store like prices. Again: THIS IS NOT A THRIFT STORE. I went inside and noticed that most items are retro and vintage clothing. I hardly saw any modern trendy clothing at this store.
I did see a pair of shoes I thought of getting– they were the Keen brand. But they were for sale for $ 25 and I am so used to thrift store prices that I was not sure if i wanted to pay even that much for a very good brand of shoes. I then noticed the pink canvas fabric on the main part of the shoes was bleeding onto the shoelaces. That was yet another reason why I considered not to buy them. I mentioned this to the lady at the counter but it did not make any difference. I figured that probably much of the items are under consignment so the lady would not have given me a discount on them even if I asked. Although, she did seem very nice.
Later, I looked up these type of shoes online and found to my surprise that the original price for these exact types are about $ 60 anyhow which would mean it would be just a little more then 50% off the original price to buy them. I would have been more inclined to have got them if they were $ 15 or maybe $ 20. Or if the shoes were in exact brand new shape, I may have been willing to have bought them for $ 25. But then, I have bought leather Keen shoes in better shape then the ones I saw at this store for about $ 5 at Goodwill stores– a much better deal of course. At most thrift stores I have been to, a used pair of Keen shoes sell for about $ 5 — $ 15 depending the way they are priced. Selling a pair of Keen shoes for $ 25 unless they are leather boots would be unheard of at most used clothing stores I usually shop at.
Pros:
–some name brand clothing
–nice staff
Cons:
–not much in modern clothing
— most items are over priced for being used and possibly damaged

I won’t be back. I browse this store occasionally and it’s just ok. I was in today and I was one of two customers in the store and I was never acknowledged even when I was two feet away from the person working. Not even a goodbye or thank you when I left. This made me realize that the service has never really been very friendly. The merchandise is not that different or better than any other thrift store, they just have less so it appears more organized.

The service was awful. It is just some recycled clothing store that actually washes their clothes before they put them on the racks, oh and they tag them too. I think I saw some of my own clothes I donated to the SLO Goodwill. The fancy jewelry I have seen down on some side street in LA. The window displays make no sense to me. Have you ever seen anyone wearing anything that is in those windows. Maybe a bum. I can not believe they opened a store downtown SLO. There was a really nice brunette girl and a blonde that I would visit but, once I learned the sister store was Threads I stopped going. It is just a bunch of clothes recycled from everyone in SLO.

Really well organized and clean. I didn’t find anything this time and some of the Jewelery seemed a little pricey for thrift store material. But overall great quality stuff and fun to sort through.

I’ve been to Threads only twice, and both times I’ve had a great experience.
The key here is quality of merchandise.
With so many crappy «vintage» stores out there– many of them limited to selling waaaay overpriced items such as reproduced «ironic» heavy metal t-​shirts or hideous sequined sweatshirts– Threads was a breath of fresh (vintage) air.
There were so many wearable items that I wanted that it was tough to decide– always a good sign in a vintage store. Options. I cannot wait to go back on my next trip down to the Central Coast as I know that I will find something special (I don’t know what it is yet, but it’s waiting just for me!)
The person that was working on each visit was friendly and not at all snooty (the coolest new wave in customer service: friendliness! Smiling!), and there was a varied inventory that I’d imagine rotates pretty quickly. There was a two month gap between my visits here and in that time there was tons of new stuff to try on, not the same stuff that was there on the last visit.
The vintage stores in SF, and everywhere– could learn a LOT from the folks at Threads.

I love Threads! Always a good find or two for a reasonable price. Very friendly staff.

This thrift store is such a little gem– I live in Northern California and every time I come to visit my sister here I make sure we come here.
The clothes are awesome– they have plenty of clothes that are very feminine and stylish, including many designer brands for great prices. I got some really cute tops for only $ 6 — $ 9 each! And a designer jean skirt for $ 20.
In addition to that, there are plenty of gorgeous, colorful vintage pieces from the 1960s — 1970s. I found a beautiful 70s dress for only $ 20!
The presentation of the store is very lovely– it is very quaint and organized, and on top of everything, the store owner is very sweet and helpful. And the music was pretty cool, too.
I love this store and I highly recommend it to anyone passing through Morro Bay.

What a cute shop! Lots of cute resale items, the sales clerk was a sweet heart with such great style too. Fun music to groove and browse by.
