Some of the staff members are just a bit rude(think his name was Alex M.) The place is sometimes messy(lots of clothes on the ground than usual, opened merchandise not taken care of) and I ask one question and get 3 different answers from the workers who dont seem to enjoy working here. Definitely not coming to this particular location again. :(

Out of all Goodwills I’ve been to this is by far the best one And for it being such a small store, the employees keep it clean and organized. I came here after I stopped by the swap meet in Oceanside, learned that Saturday’s visit are a waste of time. Anyways, I’m a huge supporter on resale items. I donation to the goodwill all the time and I happen to find myself at their store looking for miscellaneous stuff I can use. I was in search of an iron and happened to find a perfect one after an employee told me she just has tested yesterday and display it today. Tried it at home and it’s worth perfectly! All for 8 bucks. I literally save myself some $$. I also bought a glass dish for when I make enchiladas, cassoroles, and whatever else you can make out of it for about 5 bucks. I really had fun looking at all the awesome stuff they had there. FYI if you’re looking for small furniture they have it! If you go on a good day they might have even bigger items. Definitely will come by when I’m in town.

This Good Will isn’t all that it’s kind of small, they have more clothes then anything and the prices are sky high. I understand it’s a business and they need to make money but come on man this is a thrift store. You may be able to find some good stuff for a decent price but overall I would look somewhere else. Actually I would go a few doors down to Brother Benno’s where it’s super cheap but you have to use cash for purchases under $ 10.

It’s a hit or miss… depending what you’re looking for. The store is usually clean & the customer service is there if needed. I just wonder sometimes who’s doing their pricing because a lot of times it’s laughable when something is way over priced, in comparison to department store prices. Remember Goodwill, you are a ‘thrift’ store.

Every good thing must come to an end and such is the days of stellar deals at the Goodwill. Prices are higher each time I go. Whoever does pricing has bumped their head on 90% of the items. The service at this location is exemplary compared to most other retail stores across the board. Granted they know me here but the service is above expectations still.

Awesome goodwill. It’s small but the hunt is always fun here — my husband had been on an airsoft kick and really wanted camo pants but they’re expensive! We’d searched the previous day and found a pair for $ 35. At this goodwill they had a really nice pair, his size(not easy to find, very tall but slim) for six bucks. SIXBUCKS! We also found a pull-up bar to put over the door the same day. Love coming in here to browse home stuff. Definitely worth a stop in.

This Goodwill is clean, doesn’t have the Thrift store stench, and very organized. I was able to score a brand new curling iron here for $ 5! Score! Disney movies for $ 3 a piece?! Double Score! The only thing is a lot of the clothing items were a little over priced. $ 8 for an already loved pair of jeans :(

Small store, decent selection. I’ve gotten a few interesting pieces of electronics here, and some clothes. Prices are usually okay.

I like Goodwill because their pricing is fair. I feel like other thrift shops try to rip you off with prices that are way too high for secondhand goods. I was in the mood for some treasure hunting for a few DIY projects I wanted to try and this location did not disappoint! Lots of clothing, small furniture, and they also have a pretty good selection of CDs.

This is a really great Goodwill location. The three best parts, for me… 1. Color coordinated clothes. I know a lot of thrift stores will do this, but this is the best one locally. It’s easy to find what you’re looking for, and everything is well coordinated. 2. Great selection of non-clothing items, like furniture, books, dishes, and housewares. They obviously have more clothes than the other, but they usually have great ‘other’ items. 3. They have a drop off location behind the store. The workers are always very helpful and friendly. It makes donating to them a breeze! I love this location, but if it were even bigger, it’d be even better. It’s definitely my favorite thrift store in Oceanside(and there must be 100’s)!

I love thrift shopping! What could be better than a store where you can buy a pair of plaid pants, a magnetic dartboard, and a framed Georgia O’Keefe print all at the same time? Goodwill does a lot of great work with the community too and employs individuals who may need a little help getting back on track. Every dollar you spend here helps people get back on their feet, and that’s pretty cool.

I think this is a nice place. I saw all the people in line waiting to get in on the grand opening day. So far What I see it looks like great location and nice people working for them. I think it’s going to be a great place to shop! I have shopped here and have gotten some great buys and prices are fantastic I highly recommend this place and all the Other Goodwill Industries of San Diego County I wish I could give more than a 5 star
