Two Little Monkeys

A wonderful store with beautiful secondhand pieces. Not only clothing but everything from stroller to crib for fair prices.

Really love this place! A wide array of baby and children’s clothes and toys. The owner was kind and courteous. Took the time to demonstrate the use of the baby carrier I got.

Love this place so much! Beautiful clothes, amazing prices. Everyone will think you spend a fortune on your kid’s wardrobe if you shop here — but it will be your little secret that nothing cost more than a few dollars. Awesome!!!

I really enjoy coming to this store and checking out the new inventory every month or so. This store carries a variety of gently used items such as books, strollers, swings, carriers, toys and lots of clothes. I’ve spoken with the owner several times and she is super friendly and helpful. My son is now 4 months and our family has saved lots of money shopping here.

I live just a short walk away from Two Little Monkeys and I lovelovelove this store! It’s great for both selling things that I’m no longer using and also picking up new things I need. In fact, for the past few days my daughter has been unusually grumpy and didn’t even want to go to the park, but she perked up when I mentioned going to Two Little Monkeys and we ended up playing there for THREE HOURS. They were totally cool with it. It’s well organized and very clean with great stuff and a friendly staff; what more could you want?

I really love this store. They have all the «hot» baby items, only used and affordable. It makes me really not want to buy anything new every again. The staff is so friendly and helpful, I would definitely recommend Two Little Monkeys for all of your kid gear.

The best consignment store for children in the area. The women who manage this store are extremely friendly and helpful. The prices are also on point, less expensive and a better quality selection than a few other shops. I’ve found some great items, clothing, books, coats for my baby. Oh and they have local art for sale too! I bought an adorable print for my nursery that I get a ton of compliments on. Seriously love this store!

Definitely a clothes consignment place and not a toy store. They have some books and a few toys but definitely not a «toy store» as listed in the description.
Looked like they had some very nice clothes and if we were in need of purchasing kiddo clothes we’d definitely come here for that.

I love this store! I bought a gorgeous Papo D’Anjo wool dress that probably retailed for $ 200 for only $ 5.25. I love that it’s not cluttered, has a nice boutique feel, and the staff is kind an friendly. The prices are definitely right and it’s exciting that there is a great amount of boutique brands (Paulina Quintana, Antik Batik) and great prices. I am surprised by how much variety of gear there is as well, compared to many other consignment shops. Worth a visit for sure!

folks were super nice and had a good selection of items we needed.

I’ve bought and sold a lot of my daughter’s clothes from Two Little Monkeys, and I’m never disappointed! Makes me question why I’d shop anywhere else for a toddler!

This store has been such a great place for me to get most things I need for my LO. The owner and the sales people are friendly and have good rapport with each customer. I am usually able to find what I am looking for and find good treasures that I was not looking for but I am able to get because it is not overpriced.
It is true to CALL BEFORE YOU GO as it is a small outfit and is not always open as scheduled. I always go to this shop to find what I am looking for before I check a big store, seems like such a waste of money to buy products my LO is only going to use for a few weeks.
Good place!

I am writing a second review of Two Little Monkeys because I REALLY love this store and so do my children. My 5 year old son even calls the owner «fascinating lady» because he enjoys her so much!:) I have been consistently shopping here (at least once per month) since the store opened and have not had one bad experience. I am able to get my sons and daughter some really fun items of clothing I could not afford elsewhere. We’ve gotten terrific toys as well. The prices are fair and I also get an excellent exchange rate on clothes, books and toys I’ve consigned. The store is always clean and well organized and the items for sale are top notch. Two little monkeys is one of our favorite stores!

This is the second childrens’ consignment shop I’ve looked into (the first was Euro Baby, also in Somerville, that has since gone out of business) that seems to have begun life with the right idea, only to get plowed under by the realities of its business model.
I had high hopes for this little shop, based on two things: 1) strong reviews here on Unilocal,and 2) a really beautiful web page. Unfortunately, the store itself falls short of these two credits to its reputation.
Presentation, first, is poor. The lighting in the shop is very weak – there’s only a modicum of natural light at the front, then two meager chandeliers must illuminate the rest of a deep, dark retail space. Items look drabber and dingy-​er than they actually are, and that’s too bad. The display areas are showing their wear (the front rug was once cute; is now ready for Good Will). It’s clear the owner is plowed under and unable to manage her inventory AND rotate displays or style eye-​catching ensembles that bring customers in and coming back.
Inventory, second, is disappointing. I’m still looking for a shop that specializes in consigning brands that are actually WORTH consigning. Target brands are «fast fashion» and are not built to last beyond one child, yet the clothing in this store is MOSTLY Target and Kohl’s brands, with occasional sprinkling of Gap and Gymboree, and even rarer sprinklings of the best brands: Oililly, Catamini, Deux par Deux, Ralph Lauren, Hanna Andersson, Patagonia – these are the brands that are expensive to buy, but hold up through the wash and are timeless classics. Unfortunately, examples of these at Two Little Monkeys are like bacon bits in a salad – you have to really dig for them.
And the owner is much too soft-​hearted and accepts too many items that are excessively shabby, ruining the overall presentation and tarnishing the impression given of the few treasures she DOES have. She very clearly is swimming in excess inventory and has over-​committed for things that are NOT special, and so when the good stuff does arrive from the occasional consigner, she has neither the capital nor the space to take advantage.
To her substantial credit, and which illustrates the owner has the right idea, she does offer cash on the spot, and has obviously tried to avoid the Good Will store-​style cramming of inventory on the racks. If she were choosier about her inventory, she could encourage those consigners who come with «the good stuff» (and pay them better) over the ones who come with garbage bags full of the mediocre and ratty. She’s got to get more light into the store (especially in these dark months), and think more like a retailer, in terms of display.
Hopefully, the owner can keep up her energy and enthusiasm for running a boutique-​style consignment store because I think there’s a market for it. Unfortunately, right now, it seems like this shop is losing steam.

I love this shop. I recently moved from Boston and I still tell my friends who live there about it. They have a little TV area for children, and sometimes even a snack table, so that they can be entertained while you peruse all of the beautiful things. The owner is the sweetest, and she really goes out of her way to help you find what you’re looking for. The prices are extremely reasonable. I was able to find nearly everything I needed for my second child for under $ 150, including a car seat!
I’d love to see her little shop grow. I will visit again if I’m ever in the area!

Agree with everyone who posted about the store being clean, inviting, etc. but CALL BEFORE YOU GO! Today was the second time I stopped by and found the doors locked during open hours with no sign or indication of when they’d re-​open. Two poor women were standing outside with a load of things to consign and said they called the owner and she said she’d open in half an hour, so they decided to wait. I left and came back two hours later — the doors were still locked and the women had given up as well (but left a really nice bassinet outside of the door).
I understand the owner may have other obligations but just want to offer this warning to customers planning a trip to this store.

I absolutely LOVE this store!!! The décor is charming and inviting. The store is immaculate, clothing clean and as described «gently used». The owner is personable. I go here at least every two weeks and always find something for our little one. We are a big fan and it is well worth the drive if your coming from a distance.

I love this store. It has very good selection, all the articles are in excellent shape and the prices are really good. Highly recommend to parents who want to save some money or sell their gently used baby items.
The owner is very nice and helpful.

I’ve visited Two Little Monkeys once as a customer, and once to consign. I will be back in both roles! The store is beautiful, with a large selection of clothes and some gear, toys, books, etc. It is really well-​organized and toddler friendly too.
Consigning items was quick and easy, with good compensation when I did it as store credit. The owner is friendly, and a mom herself. I highly recommend a visit if you haven’t been there yet! (Also, it’s right around the corner from the Walnut St. park, which has sprinklers in the summer!)

I was so excited for the arrival of this store! I stopped in last week to check it out and met the owner, Sarah. She was super nice and helpful. The stuff that she is has is in EXCELLANT shape and really reasonably priced. What’s even better are her «rules» about consigning. She takes things no matter the season and gives you CASH on the spot (or store credit if you like). I don’t know anyone with a better and easier policy.
I can’t wait to go back!
