Very nice and courteous cashier.Awesome treasures found - touch lamp and kids games
Found reasonably priced items yesterday and enjoyed MYSELF just getting out for just a minute to relax....
Awesome location. 5-10 worthy item scoops Avery careful trip. They used to randomly have an influx of HiFi speakers such as a set of DCM TF600s equipped with 6 6.5 drivers each. Christmas on Earth came an a Turaday afternoon when right among the display right smack in theeeeee middlr of the stoor floor I stumble on a MINT 375 WATT RMS 12 in side firing VELoODYNE. Youre going to disregard this whole account after you read that the list price I coughed up for the component was a whopping $25. MSRP $500 big ones and good good itll hit as yard as you could want it to and feel like its bringing down the crossbeams of the house lil buddy how do you like me now?
Great place to shop for cottage items. Rediculously low prices for some great endtables and other furnture. Stuff flies out fast. If you want ot, take it. It wont be there tomorrow.
Maybe you should train your employees on how to communicate. Instead of “you should just get back in your car, we don’t take that” maybe go with “sorry we don’t take that, but you I think (insert another org) does”. Northerners definitely need a lesson on communication.
Me and my girlfriend haven’t been to this goodwill in a couple months, she loved the clean updated look which felt like a department store while shopping. The employees were helpful and friendly.
This location is awful. There’s an employee who’s drunk on power and price checks everything. It took her 20 min to check out two people because she kept sending another employee to be sure that lamp or jeans were really $10. It was so embarrassing to be accused of “putting the wrong price on”.
One of my favorite Goodwills in Austin. We always check out their furniture and household stuff. The prices seem to have gone up recently but still not bad compared to buying new. The employees are nice and helpful.
This is the worst of all Goodwill locations and the employees are apparently unhinged! Especially an employee named Louis. Me and my wife watched while louis yelled at a customer who was asking for assistance. We wont be back to this location and will contact Goodwill headquarters. The employee yelled so viciously at the customer, I thought he was going to attack her. My wife was terrified!
Very nice goodwill I’ve been in so far. Friendly and fast cashiers made the trip a great experience
Super friendly staff greeted us as we entered the store and offered a shopping basket that had been wiped down. The store was very clean and well organized. The constant changing inventory means you never know what treasure you will find.
Variety was good, prices more upscale compared to Alaska. The staff was very friendly and helpful with expedited service. Once they learned I was from Alaska they and the customers were even more friendly and inquisitive. It made me feel unique. But the store was clean and nicely organized. I love Austin.
Amazing customer service. Specifically, Luis, the assistant manager of the store, was super helpful assisting me breaking down Christmas trees and hauling them to my car. Great example to set for others that work there 😊.
I love this Goodwill! Its only about 10 minutes away from my house and a great place to find cool clothes of any variety! The staff are incredibly helpful as well and I never felt awkward when asking questions.
There is a very wide range of things in this store and the staff has done some work to try and organize things... especially the clothing. But throughout my time in the store there was one crash after another as customers were trying to pick through the kitchen and household goods. If you see something that could easily be a set you must look up and down and on multiple shelving to find the mates. And then things become a mess again.... and breaking happens again.Staff was nice and did great even though they were short staffed....
Generally a very consistent goodwill, though a bit small compared to other Texas-sized locations, theres always some cool stuff buried in there if youre willing to put in a little effort.
Great store and location but need to watch their donation acceptance people. This last time I was there, one of them was going too fast and dropped a extra large emergency flashlight and shattered it.
Very clean and organized. Would give 5 stars if all cashiers were smiling. Mine had a sour face and did not seem happy to be there. Other staff were helpful and friendly.
Amazing Selection and People were nice and helpful!!!
Good selection, but not as organized as the ones in Virginia. The group clothes by color there, as well as size. Also, the prices are way too high. Ive put several shoes and shirts back and just ordered things and eBay and Amazon. Why would anyone pay so much for used clothes?
Was able to drop off my donation items quickly and easily. Even on the last day of the year they had the drop off line moving quick and smooth.I also went inside and was able to find the AC to DC power cord I needed for a special project and it only cost me $1.
Went there today and the manager Luis was really professional and handled the store like a boss would. I highly recommend them for donating and purchasing goods.
Great Goodwill location with lots of variety and a VERY well organized book section! Employees were great too! Check it out!
This particular outlet has a wide selection of furniture, kitchenware, and electronics and in really good condition. Not much in dvds and toys but what they have is great. Overall a fantastic place to pick up some odds and ends.
Very nice store, pretty clean and large store. Always find a few things to take home.
Great store. Great people. Kind of wish there was more selection, but I guess you deal with what was donated and how much space you have.
Wonderful cashiers & very friendly service, awesome place to shop at a reasonable price.
Overly priced. Price should be based on quality and condition not based on name brand. Items should not be boutique price. What every happened to GOODwill?? If goodwill already gets their merchandise for free, why price it so high if ALL the proceeds are profit??? This location used to be my favorite. Ill take my love for thrift shopping elsewhere.
I enjoy going to this goodwill with my daughter who has a disability. A big Hooray to Bobby, a helpful employee, who unloaded a TV stand for me before the store even open on Tuesday, yesterday.
I visited this store last week. They have a large book selection and I was able to find several good ones. I found some records and a pair of nice boots for just $10. The records are $2 a piece and so are the paperbacks. The hardbacks were $4. So I wouldve gotten more if they were cheaper, but Austin Goodwills seem to cost a little more than Im used to. The place was really crowded, probably the Holiday season. In all, I was happy with the experience and came out with some cool stuff.
Items are way over priced for a Goodwill. Will definitely stop donating to Goodwill. They are too greedy. Some items I can find at lower prices at regular retail stores and in new condition. They need to revisit their pricing policy.
Rude and unhelpful customer service. I tried to buy something that didnt sell at the last auction. They wanted to let it sit there another week. I told them name your price. They didnt want to sell it... some good will.
Prices were a little high
I can’t believe the prices at GW. How can you justify them when you get your mounts of donations for free? Moreover, the lower the prices the less stuff you will be taking to the landfill. Shouldn’t you care about that as well?
This is one of the best goodwill stores in the area. They always have an abundance of clothes, appliances, and especially furniture. If you need a cheap couch or chair for your apartment, this is the place to go.
Nice place and friendly staff. Really big selection of clothes but not as much objects and no furniture.
The store is very clean and orderly but 2 women at the register were loudly badmouthing another worker. The younger woman was wearing a red sweat shirt and continued complaining to anyone that would listen. The older woman tried to change the subject but it didn’t seem to matter. Very unprofessional!
Very good shopping experience. Great courteous and helpful customer service. I definitely will shop here again.
Ive been to a few Goodwill stores in Austin and this location is one of my favorites. Its very big and is the most OCD organized. I easily found my size for clothes because all the shirts, blouse, pants, and shorts are separated and sorted by size and color (which made it sooo much easier to shop!!). I found khaki work pants, capri pants, shorts, and a few good looking dishes. The prices are very good. It is definitely worth checking out.
Some good deals but some items can be purchased new for less money elsewhere. Who ever decides on the price of their items needs a reality check. It depends on what youre looking for.
Coming here is like going on a treasure hunt. I have a thing for 1960s to early 80s cookware and glassware and for that this is the place to go! You can get that edgy vintage look for a fraction of what you would pay at Anthropology or Crate & Barrel. Take a day off and do a Goodwill of Austin tour! I promise you wont be disappointed!
This Goodwill is one of the better organized and run ever been to. One of my favorite sections is the weekly silent auctions they run at the front of the store.
The staff was incredibly helpful today. Whoever the manager is has done a great job getting a solid team in place!
Quick trip to donate, and to browse. Very friendly service in both locations.
I consistently find great priced stuff here in awesome condition, always love coming in to see what they got!!!
The most expensive goodwill in Texas. Was able to find some of the same clothes and housewares on amazon for the exact same price . I love goodwill and their cause but this store seems to have gotten a little greedy
This Goodwill was clean and staff was friendly. Though I waited for someone to unlock the dressing room for 5-6 minutes, pressed the bell twice, until someone came out from the back when I asked him to please unlock the dressing rooms. May need more staff to keep an eye on dressing rooms on a busy Saturday afternoon.
Love my early morning coffee an know I can go SHOP. Opens at 8am. Great deals,daily discounts, and friendly staff!
Some items seems to be overpriced but the employees were nice and helpful.
Lots of people on Tuesday 30% off over 55 :) I got a hoover gir 14.00 befor the 30 % discount
One of the best stocked with everything in a small store. My fave Goodwill.
Internet aint got nothing on the Goodwill. Keep your big dollars. I stay out of the mall. Get online 60% less. Use your saved money on your kids a good meal.
Good selection for small womens jeans; limited sizes womens shoes size 8 to 8 1/2.
Found this Santa sculpture at this Goodwill for $4 and with a little paint, looks brand new and is one of my favorite pieces of Christmas decor.
Why did you increase the price of your vinyl records to $1.99? Most other Goodwills sell albums for .99 cents. It seems like the jump from .99 to 1.99 is a price jump that is not justified! Please review your pricing on these items, which at the new price will be headed to a landfill.
I love this. Goodwill. The clothes and basically everything is in great condition. Air conditioning is comfortable. HUGE selection on everything from furniture to clothes
This is my favorite Goodwill (in my neighborhood). Its clean and organized and has a pretty extensive auction section. Theres a lot of furniture and a lot of mens clothing.
Always neat and staff are always very welcoming. My favorite store in town.
Clean, organized and kind employees. They do not have any older books on the shelves and the rest of the books are fairly organized.
I come here every time Im in Austin.The staff is so friendly and the store is clean and orgsnized.Oh, and the merchandise is AWESOME Fun!!!
An awesome place to purchase cool and funky clothes at a really low price. Plus the staff is super friendly.
If you are interested in getting a bargain deal on new and used clothing, youve come to the right place. I bought three new belts for dimes on the dollar.....
Big store with lots of selection in nice area. Although friendly customer service is given, no toilet paper in restrooms.
Theres stuff scattered all over the place. Employees appears to be under paid. Prices are next to retail so not really a good deal. Nasty and yuk!
They have some of the best quality products for low price; this is one of the best Goodwill stores for those looking for the best deals.
I always find the best stuff at this location. Although prices are increasing at all goodwill locations this one has the best home furnishings.
Great deals, I found a new pare of pants that were originally $89.99 and I got them for $15.00
Prices to high,in the last months,i buy everyday There,because was has accesibles prices,now to expensive,that things Is not new,alot people go There for sabe $$$ but now Is crazy,More expensive of stores,
Theres always cool stuff to find here at really inexpensive prices. You do have to be willing to dig for it however!
Friendly staff and plenty of hidden treasures. One of the top 2 Goodwills in Austin.
The store was cleaned and organized 👍. The staff was so sweet. Really enjoyed it 😁.
Pleasant shopping atmosphere. A little pricey on most items. Sometimes you can find a gem!
This is a pretty standard example of a goodwill store. Ive been here a few times and have never been surprised or disappointed.
Bought a couple of maternity dresses
You can find some good deals. I found a nice pearl snap shirt for $10.
Was very surprised with all the items they had great prices the staff was very helpful especially Israel.
The new manager Jennifer really has rearranged and cleaned up store. It made the shopping experience more enjoyable
Always find the perfect object I didnt know I needed! Great people behind the counter too!
Alright selection for clothes, better home goods options. You can find some real gems here.

They do not check incoming stuff found paraphernalia inside jewellery box I was about to buy for my daughter
Always check for discount days, half price certain price tags and senior citizens get discounts once a week
Like visiting here. Clean, lots of good stuff and staff helpful.

Things were not marked with prices and or the wrong price.

2022-07-10Not sure what happened but all the sudden they started overpricing (more than they already were) and adding As Is stickers to everything. Seems like theyre taking in things that probably dont work (that you cant test) and sticking you with it if it doesnt work.Disappointed.

2020-06-26I love this goodwill location.Every body was very attentive and ready to help.And the manager store was super nice and help me and helped an old couple to complete their shopping carrying their furniture to the cashier.Thats a wonderful costumer service passion.And example to his employees.He was so helpful all the time.Ohh and loved my half moon table.It looks great on my patio

2022-07-20The supervisor, Ken, walks around talking about being a gang member and is very unprofessional. He talks down to employees in front of customer, contributing to a hostile work and shopping environment.

2022-05-28Been going there every week for the past few months and enjoying finding bits and bobs to take home.Last week i bought an Xbox 360 but couldnt be sure it worked. So i asked the manager (guessing she was the one in charge) and she assured me i could return it if it didnt.The week before i had bought a wii and she had told me the exact same thing (just make sure you bring all the bits back!), so i was confident i would be safe either way.The Xbox didnt work properly. So i brought it back today. And that very same lady told me in no uncertain terms that i could not and consoles were final sale.She also refused to take back an electric scooter bought at the same time also not functionning (we bought a charger to test it at home). Which she had also told us we could return.Blatant lying and 0 sympathy. I thought they were the good guys and was trying to spend my money there for a good cause. Ripping people off like everwhere else.Very upsetting.

2022-01-12Selection - B, found some neat items, browsing.Prices - C, way too much increase from before, like $1.50 more for dresses, Jeans, purses.I bough a hardback book & a shelf to paint. Almost $10!!Goodwill used to be place of low prices for ALL to benefit.Plan to visit thrift shops next time or Salvation Army for me.

2022-07-26Getting very expensive for secondhand used goods. Can buy new for same price catching store sales. They need to re-evaluate their pricing.
Review №7
2022-07-10Very low on stock but Sundays you get red tag sales of $1.50 per item which is great
Review №8
2022-07-28Good thrift store but sadly they look things up found a lightsaber for 70 dollars😕
Review №9
2022-02-08Super shady management. overpriced items. overall, I think the goodwills in central texas are depreciating in quality. maybe need a refresh, because $17 for a pair of sweatpants shouldn’t happen at a thrift store.

2022-03-25This Goodwill is pretty Good Im always finding something. Staff is friendly people that shop there are friendly.
