Pepe's Thrifty Shop

A great place to find things last min without complications... they have a little of everything... it's good to go there without having anything too specific to find as they always have good things... love the owners... they are always super nice... it's a family owned place... they bring new items weekly... it's good to go often and try finding quality things at real good prices!!

You never know what you will find here. Worth stopping by every time I pass. Have found reasonably priced Acapulco chairs, mid century lamp etc.

Great stuff, super service and great location. I only bought small items but thinking of returning for furniture.

Great spot to grab unique or vintage furniture for a reasonable price (depending on the item)

Amazing quality of furniture available. Just bought a pine dresser from them and it’s so beautiful! Such fair pricing and they were so kind and helpful!

Great store... my friend and I didn't find what we were looking for.. but that is just how it goes. They do have some really cool items there! Would recommend checking it if you're in need of some furniture or cool stylish decor.

Love this place! Amazing furniture finds and family owned. The woman who helped us was so friendly and not only cleaned the furniture before we put it in the car, but also helped us disassemble it to fit in the car and wrapped the glass to avoid breakage. Would definitely recommend checking this place out!

I found this thrift shop though an OfferUp posting. Pepe and his son were amazing. They were communicative and delivered my purchase (for a fee). The mirrors I bought were professionally wrapped, delivered on time, and arrived flawless (just as I had seen them in the shop). Pepe cares a lot about his customers and it shows. Thank you so much. Highly recommended little gem of a shop.

This was such a cool spot to browse in! They had so much unique furniture and decor (if you've been in the market for a fish sculpture, they got hella). The staff there were wonderful and very kind. I noticed both of them cleaning and putting together new inventory, which is what I think sets this place apart from other second hand furniture stores. The owners seem to be very genuine people. Super helpful with taking stuff down for me to look at and knowledgeable on all their inventory. I noticed she offered a lower price with another customer in the store and to also to repair the damage that was on it. I also overheard a voicemail one staff member made to someone they had sold something to about picking up the item, so I assume they will also hold things for a certain period. I didn't end up buying anything as most items were out of my price range. In terms of affordability, I'd say this place is far cheaper than buying brand new stuff off Wayfair or the like, but not as cheap as other thrift stores like Goodwill which is why it's a 4 star for me. 100-500 for large furniture and decor and under 100 for other miscellaneous stuff but I guess that doesn't take into account the effort they put into their stuff. IMO if I didn't have rent to pay I would 100% buy my furniture from here just because of how fun it is to look around and how awesome the owners are. If anything I highly recommend taking a look.

Walking through the crowded aisles is like walking through that warehouse at the end of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Whether or not you are looking for something in particular, you will find something here... Actually you will find many "somethings" as this place is a cornucopia of interesting items. Mid-century modern furniture seems to be in abundance, but turn of the century cuckoo clocks, lamps, and pretty much anything else you can imagine are yours to find; Just make sure you have a few hours to actually go through the isles, this is not a place for a cursory review. Staff is great. As for value... what is the value of a treasure?

Wonderful store! Huge variety of great quality, unique furniture, art and some other knickknacks - run by super kind, friendly people! Found a new nightstand made by a local craftsman as well as the matching chest. Lovely women helped me get the piece down from a shelf and brought it all the way to my car for me (parking wasn't bad). Best furniture thrift store I've been to! Will definitely return to poke around even when not looking for anything specific

Pepe's Thrift Shop was my go-to recommendation for anyone on the hunt for unique furniture pieces; however, that is no longer the case. After being loyal customers for a considerable period and purchasing numerous items, we decided to buy a credenza sideboard buffet from them. Unfortunately, less than a week after our purchase, we began to notice termites infesting our purchase. Despite the urgency of the situation, Pepe's Thrift Shop declined our initial request for a refund. We persisted for days, and they finally but reluctantly agreed to attempt to rectify the issue. The responsibility fell to us to transport the heavy furniture back to their shop and then return it home, a task that was no small endeavor. To our dismay, the furniture remained in its termite-infested state after they "treated it". Disappointed, we reached out respectfully, asking if perhaps a partial refund could be negotiated, only to be met with a resounding "no". This dismissal was accompanied by constant reminders of their 30+ years in business, a point of pride that seemed inversely proportional to their willingness to treat their customers fairly. Our experience turned into an ordeal, almost jeopardizing the safety of our apartment due to the termites that infested it, originating from the purchased credenza. Consequently, I STRONGLY discourage anyone from purchasing anything from this shop. Their customer service standards and the quality of their items leave much to be desired, or at least this was how they dealt with us and should be taken into consideration. When you have an issue, they do not care, at all and they show who they truly are.

Great customer service and selection. I had an issue with a piece of furniture on delivery and they let me swap it out for a different piece. I highly recommend their store if you are looking for furniture that will last and at a good price.

Absolute best thrift shop hands down the family who owns it is so sweet and I've furnished most of my house with quality pieces

This used to be a great store I'd recommend to others for furniture at fair prices. Now they price things like they're Sotheby's. Want a used IKEA piece for 3x retail? This is the store for you.

Love this shop! It's family run and the owners could not be nicer. The quality of furnishings and prices are beyond fair. Highly recommend!

I was in need of a chair and got on yelp this morning to find a consignment shop and found Pepe's. Street parking was a little congested but that was to be expected on a Saturday. As soon as I got there, I spotted a beautiful wooden chair outside just like what I had hoped to find there. When I walked in the store, I was greeted by a friendly woman. They have lots of beautiful furniture and statues but I have limited space so was only looking for chairs. Once I was done looking, the gentleman working there rang me up and loaded the chair in my car for me. I will certainly be back again if I need more furniture or if I want to splurge on one of their beautiful statues. The inventory is worth going in for but the friendly service is the icing on the cake. They were very kind and appreciative to every one shopping in the store. Thanks, Pepe's ! See you next time.

Love this place. Very nice people and great service. Great prices and great items. Convenient for me also sines it is in the neighborhood

Impressive! I gotta say though, the prices are more Consignment than "thrift store". Quite a few great mid century modern and eclectic pieces to really personalize any home here! Parking was easy out front. The aisles were clear yet items were stacked so know what you're walking into before you enter. Not a place to bring kids or pets - that's for sure. Even though furniture is stacked, they do use cardboard to protect the tops of pieces below. A tetris genius must work here everyday because there is SO MUCH packed into one little store! I had to make 3 rounds before I was confident I had seen most of their inventory. The pieces I was most interested in on this day were mcm dressers, buffets and sideboards. Plenty available all within $300-$400 range. Usually I would shop a thrift store looking for items to resell. For me, this is a better resource for staging. Everything is really well taken care of. Four stars because it's really more of a high end consignment store. I would definitely stop by again!

BEST FURNITURE RESALE SPOT IN LA!!!!!!!!!! I have been going to Pepes for years. They are the nicest people with the best prices and there's always always always new stuff. Some of my favorite pieces have come from Pepe's.

I have frequented this place for about 3 years now looking at all the cool stuff they have. I recently moved into a bigger place and was looking for a couch. I saw one when driving home from work and had to go back and get the scoop! 15 minutes later, my car was loaded up with my dream couch! Modern with new upholstery, it fits my needs perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the help from the staff, and to support a LOCAL, FAMILY-OWNED business. Nothing better than a great piece of furniture, great price, helpful and friendly staff and supporting my local economy. 10/10 recommend, and will obviously be back. :D

These folks make it so easy to shop with multiple paying options including Venmo, and excellent customer service. Ken was wonderful and their prices are very fair. Thank you Ken and the staff at Pepes thrifty shop! Well done!

If you're looking for furniture, this is your spot! They have a great curated selection. Prices can be a little high but they are In Great condition and taken care of so it's worth it! I bought a cute little creamer cow for $10. Super cute. I would definitely come back to find a rug, lamp, frame or furniture in general.

Avoid this shop completely! This shop is run by disingenuous people who sell extremely poor quality products they buy at estate sales for less than half of the original price. I bought a marble pedestal from their shop on the weekend. To load it in my car, their manager Kenny bought it out on a really flimsy dolly and leaned his weight onto it to move it around. The dolly was flimsy, he wasn't handling it well and marble is REALLY fragile. He then bought a very thin cloth to load into car. I stopped him and asked if he wanted to use my thick carpet instead and if he wanted my help. He refused both repeatedly. Sadly this caused the corner of the pedestal to chip, and I noticed this when I got home and opened the trunk. My partner and I saw the chip in the corner and lifted the body up. Upon inspection we found that the corner had completely snapped off. When we called the shop - Kenny and his partner were so rude and accused us of doing this. I would never call a shop back if I had damaged it myself, that is a waste of time and so immoral! He kept trying to 'mansplain' to me, interrogate me and trick me out rather than offer a resolution. It was completely belittling, arrogant and unsympathetic. He said his resolution he can offer me is for me to go out and buy glue and repair it. If any shop have a 'all sales are final' - it's because it's dodgy. They also have a sign saying 'you break it, you buy it - but sadly this does not apply to them - and especially not Kenny! I've never dealt with such dishonest sales people who pretend to be nice - but really they just want to rip you off. I would avoid this shop at all costs otherwise don't get Kenny to load it

Raquel Pepe and Ken have been thrifting before thrift was cool! Always a really nice assortment of furniture to the ceilings which many thrift stores lack. I picked up a walnut mid-century table here and some other items, good value. Funky light fixtures and lamps and some art too. They called me back when I asked to keep me in mind for a specific item which I appreciated. Love that it's family run and you never know what you're going to find.

I love this family owned business so much and just wish I had a large home to fill it with everything they have in there! What a fabulous place to get some real gems for your home! Enjoy the magic in there. You will not be discounted :)

I really don't want to give this gem up but Pepes is my FAVORITE thrift shop. Great prices and even better Unique Antiques

I had SUCH a good experience with this magical little store. My partner and I were looking for stylish second hand furniture with out the mark up you see in "vintage" shops. Pepe's Thrifty Shop sells an impressive array of different kinds of vintage and used pieces for around the same price you would pay for their flimsy, dull, new counterparts from IKEA. But the sweet folks who run the store are the best part. Raquel is helpful, knowledgeable and extremely sweet and kind. The Instagram is run by her son (and in between posts showing the new pieces are heartwarming Mother's Day messages). They delivered our furniture all the way across town and carried it down many steps in to our complicated to get to house for a really reasonable delivery fee. 35 for curbside 50 for "installation" (we paid a little extra because we are a 50 min drive away from the shop). Thank you Pepe's Thrifty Shop. We will be back.

I've been shopping at Pepe's Thrifty Shop for years. This family owned shop is a treasure as are Pepe, Raquel, Kenny & Jose. Very friendly & helpful. The selection always amazes me. Prices are fair and they offer delivery. I highly recommend going there if you want/need great original furniture.

Pepe's is the best shop to find great antiques and vintage furniture at AWESOME PRICES!! THIS STORE ROX!! PEPE THE OWNER, Ken and Rachel are top notch at their job to help U find U Want. Thx for reading and I highly recommend this place to everyone!!!

My sister and I shop at Pepe's Thritty store a lot. We buy our furniture from them. I have purchased three items and my sister has purchased four items. They are wonderful people.

Drove by here and had to check it out! They have many gems in there ranging in eras. Found some awesome mid century pieces at a great deal. Owners were super friendly and helpful. They greeted us right away and were there for any questions we had. They went the extra mile and cleaned + waxed the furniture and even mounted the delicate piece on our car! This kind of exceptional service is hard to find now a days! Will be back! Thanks guys!

The BEST store for mid century furniture in LA. I furnished my whole house with them. 1000% recommend.

Some great finds if you are on the hunt and fair prices the owner and her son were very nice and helpful with pointing me in the direction of what I was looking for since their store is big and chic full of items

This place is horrible to do business with. They said they purchased furniture then they changed their mind days later and said they don't purchase furniture. The ladies who answer the phone are unprofessional and rude. They are unresponsive by email. I even offered to give them two pieces of furniture for free but they responded with an attitude. I'd hesitate to do any kind of business with these people: buying or selling. I'd give 0 stars for this place if I could.

I was surprised to see a previous review of Pepe's Thrifty Shop, which is well off the beaten track, http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/5_dMuab48YGhl18uCFSufQ/l written just a few days ago, and a good review it is. Read it before you go here because from my experience, it seems accurate. I did like Pepe's, though, despite the issues with some of the inventory. And it was pretty crowded when I was there yesterday, Friday, even though one of the local streets was closed temporarily and parking was ridiculous. Normally, parking would be a breeze. That's OK, I explored the neighborhood looking for a spot to dump my car, and discovered a house with an AstroTurf lawn, haha. Meticulously manicured hedges and grass as fake as half the boobs in LA.....haha what a sight..... Pepe's is open every day except Sunday, from 10am to 6ish pm. There are a couple of resident dogs, friendly and cute. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/-5u91AiQD8Us8iNjisQU0w/l The shop is considerably larger than it appears from the street, it goes waaaay back. It appears Pepe's took over a space next door that was once a Mexican restaurant. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/0ufR7g-gKV1UdmDSzl0k5Q/l Anyway, there's a lot to see. It reminds me of (a smaller version of) Wertz Bros., where you climb around amidst the stacked-up junque, I mean treasures, and get down and get dirty. Don't wear good clothes it you're a serious Thrifty shopper. Pepe's has a crapload of lamps, http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/PKskBsPCKxardugbTPliXg/l including one hanging fixture I loved: the glass grape lights, which were actually 3, separate. I inquired about their age and history, and was told (by the owner I presume)......that she knew nothing about them and they cost $35. Each. Not too bad. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/6im_eeSyvkcFMhEK8ktxlw/l When I found an interesting chair at the back of the store, the proprietor knew nothing about it, either. We turned it over to look for a label. It, too, cost .......$35. Haha, it was the 35 dollar day I guess. If I'd had a place for that chair, I might have bought it, after bargaining, because there were permanent stains on the seat. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/nhoUqS39drj8iRdAVzVG-g/l Pepe's Thrifty had a ton of wall art, all over the store. There were some decent old original framed paintings, mostly landscapes. It would be great fun to poke around through the vintage pictures some day, and I will. Thrift shops get me all fired up. Earlier in the day I bought an overpriced 60's ceramic platter at Council Thrift on Venice. I love to look at unusual old crap, and Pepe's certainly has it. This appears to be a double oven, from the days long before stackable washer/dryers. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/o1RIWc-TrwRSOgLV17LITA/l And here's a headless statue or something, laying under a table, haha. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/cbCPAwOZ4l8v8L-k2v0LBQ/l And creepy dolls stare at you from dark corners. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/EDF0_BA4cZ-WCsU4R2AcJw/l Posted store rules: don't move furniture yourself, ask for assistance. And control your kids, haha. Another sign says they fix lamps. http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/_k5e2y34IK1OWgcyj0y9GQ/l Pepe's Thrifty has not seen the last of me. I need a bigger house.

I really wanted to like Pepe's. Unfortunately, I found it very difficult to. First of all, the name is misleading. Pepe's is not really a thrift store. With the exception of a few very small (but still overpriced) items most of things run at least hundred bucks at best and it's mostly furniture. That being said you may wonder, "Is it an antique shop? Consignment? That sounds like a better name. Well, no not really. Some of the items are about older but some of the items but probably not more than five years old and most of the items are not great condition much less "consignment" condition. So, it's kind of difficult to categorize Pepe's. Pepe's downfall is their prices and what exactly they're trying to go for. Most of the items in the store are just not worth the price. One thing I am not sure of is how "loose" the prices are. The prices may just be just be a bartering point but even the items that looked interesting me I would have offered only a fraction of the price had I chose to barter. Like I mentioned earlier it's difficult to determine what audience they're going for. Many of the items are not more than ten years old while some items are forty plus years old. To me, only one thing is clear: Pepe's is looking to turn a quick a turn buck on any furniture that comes their way. I considered giving Pepe's one star but my experience there was not unpleasant. It just was not for me. In the store's defense, the store manages to pack an unbelievable amount of product in such a small space and there are some older "vintage" piece that are neat but for the condition they are in, the prices are not great. Furniture is also something I don't buy regularly at thrift stores, but I always look at prices and I've seen many similar items for half the price at Goodwill ( which is not well priced either) Pepe's might be a good place for you to visit if you don't really want to be bothered going to many different stores for furniture that needs to be rehabbed and you don't mind paying a lot more than the item is actually worth. Although this may sound a kind of wacky to a lot of regular thrifters, it is LA and there is a reason that this shop has been in operation as long as it has. If you're looking for furniture, take a pass on Pepe's and check out St. Vincent's just north of downtown. Pros: lots of inventory in small space cons: parking is a hassle, overpriced

This is a hidden gem! Customer service is amazing, and they have the absolute best pieces! Seriously couldn't love shopping here any more than I do!

Wow. Been following Pepe's on Instagram, and their stuff is of better quality than I recall. It also looks like they are custom creating furniture now. Great store to shop at if you are looking for Mid-century modern decor.

This thrift shop is awesome! I don't even want anyone else to know about it because I want everything they have :-) The customer service is great. Lovely small family business. New stuff every day, with some really beautiful and quality pieces, antique to contemporary. The items I have purchased so far have been a steal! Got some awesome fiber glass chairs, lucite chairs, leather chairs...lots of cool chairs at great prices! When I've had questions about items I've seen on their IG, Ken gets back to me right away. Just hoping I keep finding awesome treasures like the ones I've found so far! I have my eye on a few things ;-)

My previous review of another business was full of haterade so I need to counterbalance that with a POSITIVE review of a place I'm a big fan of. Pepe's Thrifty Shop is rad! I love going here every few months to see what's shaking. Nice hodgepodge and the inventory replenishes/shifts fairly rapidly for stores of this sort. I've gotten some nice MCM-esque chairs here, MCM-esque end tables, and a few crazy folk art type things (a lamp, a weird stool). Great place to stretch a dollar on secondhand furniture and decor miscellany. Really dig Pepe's.

I've been buying from Pepe's for some time now and have found some very nice things! Great customer service too! And reasonable prices.

I found a beautiful mid-century modern mirror at this place for my new home. Pepe's has so many original pieces stacked all over and the prices are amazing.

Ok so I kinda don't even want to write this review. I selfishly want to have more options and cute decor for myself. But the staff are so nice Pepe ,Raquel, and Ken. I have bought a dining table, chandelier, and large decorative gold leaf mirror. This is a thrift store that sells cool furniture and decor. They even offer delivery options.

Really unique and kitchy furniture. You can certainly find and end table, chest of drawers, coffee table or eclectic lamp here. They carried my stuff to the car for me. Reasonably priced too.

Pepe's Thrifty Shop is definitely fun to go to. They have furniture stacked up to the ceiling. Some items are overpriced and not in great condition.... BUT there are some hidden gems for collectors etc. I have been looking for a antique gold leaf Chinese panel for about 6 years. I found it here for $80. It's not in mint condition, but looks overall fabulous and literally made me jump around the living room when I brought it home! I see a lot of iconic modern pieces too although it's not really my style, I find it trite. I like old things, so I definitely like Pepe's thrifty shop. For those of you haters leaving one star reviews, go to Living Spaces or "Love it at Levitz" and get your boring style on!

Can't drive by without stopping in to see what's new. I have some many pieces of quality furniture in my house from this place. I have recommended so many people here as well. They offer local delivery for a fee They will load up your car for you in the back Always super friendly and nice!

This place is actually quite awesome despite previous reviews. My boyfriend and I had spent some time at other furniture stores, and almost considered paying double/triple the price for furniture that wasn't nearly as good as the items in there. The prices are beyond reasonable, and if you think you're not saving money here, you are either ridiculously frugal, broke or insane. The staff are very helpful, and give us discounts on everything. They were even willing to deliver it to us at a reasonable price.

i didn't find anything up to date. everything is pretty old/vintage better finds at good wills.

pepes is amazing! I've been going for years and have always found what i wanted. They have a wide verify of merchandise from desk, tables, chairs, dressers and all great quality. Always solid wood. It's a local family business; they are great people that are always trying to help you out. I will always come back for the rest of my life!

When i see tunnels of antique wood furniture stacked to the ceiling, it makes my heart melt. This is Pepe's. I come here at least once a week to see what he's picked up at the local estate auctions. And unfortunately for me, I always come back with cool new finds and empty pockets. It's family owned, the prices are great, and the furniture is quality.

It's pretty amazing how much stuff is crammed into this store. And a lot of it is really cool. However, it's not "thrifty.' Perhaps if decorating homes is your livelihood, then this is a good deal. I was looking for cheaper stuff. Nonetheless, I was impressed by his collection. When I have more dough, I'll definitely hit it up.

These people will lie and say they'll hold something for you... Then sell it. Came back less than 2 hours after I asked her to hold 2 dressers so I could bring my partner back- they were gone and her response was, "we cannot hold for more than an hour or 2." Well then, stating that to begin with is good business practice. Why did I even give my number?! So bummed... I'll take my business elsewhere for the future and stop recommending this place to others. Lame.

Found this place on yelp as needed to buy a new coffee table and was having no joy in normal stores Really glad I did find it as it's a proper little gem. You probably wouldn't think it driving by as has a tiny front but you walk in and although it's quite small and narrow it has loads of bits in there. Found a trunk/coffee table that we loved and bought it! Was $150 but was given $20 off. It's in great condition and really sturdy, better than the cheap crap you would get in a furniture store! Will def be back for something else when the need arises Oh and the staff are great, very helpful

Not sure how anyone can have a bad review of Pepe's. Pepe stocks his store with amazing finds at completely reasonable prices. There are many places in Silverlake and Echo Park that would easily charge you 4x for the same pieces of furniture. I've bought several things from him in the past and recently purchased an amazing mid century bedroom set (6 pieces) and bureau- he worked with me on price and delivered them to my home by the end of that same day (I live close by). It's a small family owned and run shop that's stocked with a ton of great finds! This place is legit.

We found an EPIC credenza here!! Highly recommend and great customer service, it's a great thrift store!

I love coming here to browse. They always have a good selection of mid-century modern chairs. I've purchased only two items here, but if I had more room I would buy more. There are really good treasures in this shop if you're willing to look through every item. The prices are not super cheap considering the location and state of the store, but you can negotiate. I often see people who look like "pros" buying items and I have a feeling they mark up the stuff and resell them elsewhere. Nice owners too.
