Cream of the Crop

I went in to the store to see if they would take some of the purses I no longer use. I was also curious to find some other items and while the store owner had a lot, it was very disorganized. The store owner asked if she could ask me a personal question and I said yes and she proceeded to ask me if I was religious, then onto «what do you think gets you in to heaven». My reply was generic and she continue to press the subject, she wanted to discuss why my opinion was wrong and how myself and all those on NPR had said incorrect responses of what gets you into heaven. I started inching towards the door and once I finally made it to my car, I left mystified. This was such a negative experience, I just wanted to sell my purses, not to get shamed about my views. YIKES.

I love this place. Great selection. And Cynthia is so kind, helpful, and friendly. She helped me find a party dress for an event the other night. It turned all heads and was friendly on my wallet.

I have lived in bird rock for 10 years. The first time I went into this consignment shop the lady behind the counter was very rude and impatient with me, so I did not go back for a long time. Last year I decided to try it again, and I did buy an expensive, but lovely formal gown. I am cleaning out my closets and have some designer dresses that I thought I’d take over to her. I called her first, to be polite, and asked her if I could come buy. She said she was only interested in high-​end items. And I told her I had Cache a handful of other name brand items. She was very brash and rude and said in a very nasty tone that ‘that just was not good enough’ and brashly hung up on me. You know… it doesn’t take much effort to just be polite. I won’t use this business again. My Badgley Mischka is on its way to the Goodwill.

Wonderful find! I purchased the most beautiful Narcisco Rodriguez black linen suit there that I wore for the first time to a business function the other night.
Can’t believe that I have lived in PB for 12 years and just discovered Cynthia’s amazing resale boutique! I’ll be back soon!

So much fun at Cream Of The Crop, Cynthia was so nice and hospitable plus the prices are reasonable! Thank you so so much for everything!

This place is amazing!
My boyfriend and I came here yesterday for the first time… and the front of the store doesn’t do the inside any justice (as many people have aforementioned). BUT, the clothes are insane. I have a great appreciation for well made clothes, and I hadn’t been vintage shopping in a while; but this place was beyond incredible. There’s all different kind of sections, and when you walk in, Cynthia explains all of them to you.
There is designer, sportswear, more updo, casual, jewellery, bags, ecetera ecetera.
I pretty much spent the entire time in the designer section trying everything on because i couldn’t believe how affordable the designer ‘vintage’ items were. It’s one of the best stores i think i have ever been to. I literally couldn’t believe the pricing on some of the clothing… (A donna Karen piece for 50 dollars)!
We went home and checked on ebay, and nearly all the clothes I bought were double the price elsewhere. Safe to say: Complete steals.
Cynthia is incredibly kind, and we ended up talking way after the shop had shut. Literally, I felt like a little girl again– and it was such a magical experience. I can’t wait to go there again, because, literally, it is one of the best stores around– reused or not reused: If it’s good quality, and well looked after, it doesn’t matter! And, Cynthia is particular about what she takes in, which is great, because as the customer– you don’t have to trawl through anything… that’s what makes it so hard… because everything is bomb! There’s everything for everyone, for all ages… Go!

Visiting from Las Vegas and came to this store. It was great clothes and awesome prices. Cynthia was so nice and helpful! I cannot wait for my next trip back!!!

My new favorite store! The owner is awesome and her taste in clothes is unbelievable! I can’t wait to see what treasures are in her shop.

This consignement shop was full of nice clothes,; designer and chain store brands. Too bad hubby waited outside (sounds familiar?) because the prices were good and the nice lady working was really helpful. I used to like Buffalo Exchange but this store is so much better due to its selection. I got a nice retro designer silk scarf and walked out wishing there was a store like that in Oslo Norway!

The first time I walked in with my friends, I was stunned. Designer jeans, jewelry, shorts and suits at a fraction of the cost. Some still had original tags! I have found gorgeous dresses, scarves and shoes at unbelievable prices. The owner is wonderful and so helpful; she will tell you if something looks good or if it doesn’t and will help you find something that looks really smart. Cynthia is great at finding the best colors and styles for you and is always professional and friendly.

I love Cream of the Crop and Cynthia’s selection of amazing and unique pieces of clothing. She has everything perfectly and beautifully arranged so it is easy to find treasures. Also Cynthia is always super helpful and friendly. This is my favorite place to shop. Thank you Cynthia :).

I walked in here with no big expectations, but walked in and was immediately greeted by Cynthia’s fluffy little dog. She is so friendly! The clothing selection is great and the prices are fair for the quality. I was on a time constraint and couldn’t browse the entire shop, but I will definitely be back. In short, Cynthia has a great purse, shoe, and clothing selection; from formal to daily attire.

Truly, all items are hand picked with care it’s obvious In this unique, long standing vintage shop! a nice selection and all the nooks and spaces offer a sparkly, special, & feminine delicate vibe… Jus lovely!

Great designer section! Things are very well maintained. Especially the shoes are organized by size which makes shopping so easy. Cynthia, the owner, she is a cool and stylish lady, gave me quite a lot of fashion tips. Will visit again.

I was on a wild goose chase all over town for the perfect Valentines gift and had almost given up when I decided to stop in at the Cream of the Crop. I was greeted by a super cute friendly puppy and then by Cynthia who was wonderful and helped me find exactly what I was looking for! So stoked. Couldn’t be more happy. Highly recommended.

Oh my god! Such a gem. This place was huge! So much awesome stuff. I can’t wait to go back! The owner was super sweet & really helpful. I had been looking all over town for something special and I found it here. As well as some other pieces I will totally be going back for soon.

I’m going to keep this short and sweet. If you want more read the other reviews.
I LOVED! This consignment store. It had to be the cleanest cutest store ever. You forget your in a consignment shop. There is something for everyone here.
If you love to shop consignment shops you must! Visit this one. You will not be disappoint.

This place is cool! The owner is very nice and helpful!
She has alot of unique clothes, shoes and accessories!
The prices are ok but I can see why she charges what
She does. At first it seems like a thrift store but
It’s not! I recommend anyone to go check this place out!

I really like this shop and had a great experience here. Some folks may not like having to check their bags at the door, but having previously lived in the NYC-​area for 7+ years, it’s pretty common out there in order to deter theft.
Cream of the Crop has a very nice selection with more mature pieces. I especially enjoyed checking out the high-​end designer racks. Unlike most thrift/​consignment shops I’ve been to, this one doesn’t have that old-​basement-​funk smell, either.
I found the owner very helpful. She offered to hang up items for me so I didn’t have to tote them around the store and risk snagging the clothing. I cannot wait to shop there again.

I’ve sold and bought clothes, shoes and accessories here. The owner Cynthia is very particular about the quality of the items she takes in so if you shop here you can usually find a gem. Check back often as the stock changes (being a consignment store after all). I don’t think the store makes a lot of money so I like supporting the business. I also like that the owner donates old inventory (if sellers don’t want them back) to a battered women’s shelter.
I hear that Cynthia is now just buying some clothes outright so if you want some quick cash this might be the way to go.
