Really fun, affordable clothes. Cheap tasty food and friendly staff. This place survived so many other changes in the city. Still feels the same as it ever did. Its a fun spot to bring out of town friends. I consider it an important Montreal institution!
If you are on a budget but still want to dress nicely, please shop at Eva B. Back in the 90s, this place used to be Le Costumier, which was a store for theater and film folks to rent/buy costumes. Eva B. is very much like Le Costumier: it looks the same and offers an amazing selection of affordable vintage clothing. The sales people are always helpful and nice. They also sell food at the counter, which is always delicious.
I usually do not write reviews, but this store is genuinely amazing. The mood is everything, and the staff is awesome and really helpful, youll likely find your cup of tea (literally and figuratively) the prices are crazy low for the cool pieces of clothing you can find, I went there with 80$ I got out more than Id ever expect buying with it. Theres so much more to discover!!!please do not miss your chance to go here :)
We were in Vintage Store Heaven for the 4 hours we spent in both stores! The staff was so lovely and the sandwich bar at the second location was exactly what we needed after shopping till we dropped! 🥰
I just love this place so much - I basically come here every week! Its the perfect substitute for missing proper flea markets in Montreal! Ive also tried almost every other secondhand shop in Montreal and Eva B. is by far the best one. The vast options of clothing, either real vintage things on the first floor or modern secondhand things on the second floor, the prices are also very fair!
They have a really wide selection of items for everyone’s taste, the clothes themselves seem to be still in really decent condition and are priced pretty fairly. They also have a coffee shop for those in need of a snack.The only downside in my opinion is they don’t have enough mirrors around the floors.
It’s a amazing place and there is so much to choose from. The staff was great and the prices are okay. Sometimes a little pricey but they have unique pieces such as basic thrift and second hand clothes.My only complaint that it was so big that it slightly felt overwhelming but also it was the first time I went and probably with time I’d rank it higher. I didn’t try the food tho.
It is a really cool, unique store with tons of different things from clothing to shoes and accessories. There’s even popcorn. It’s very random but in a good way. My only complaint was how busy it was and how tight everything was packed, made it hard to look at some of the clothing. But if you’re into thrift shopping and finding that unique piece, this is the place to go!
Unique environment, unique merchandise, uniquely wonderful service.
I used to love shopping here. I have donated clothes pre pandemic and had no issues. But the last time I left three large bags of clothes, shoes (shoes were still in their original boxes) and some household items (still in their box). When I went back to pick up the things they did not keep, I was shocked. They destroyed the boxes, the shoes were smashed in the bottom. It was disrespectful how they repacked my items. I also left a few objects which they do not accept and I understand that but they still took those object out of their original box and destroyed the box. I do not understand why did they open the box when they could clearly see what’s in it and knew that it’s something they don’t sell in their store. They should not have destroyed it. Overall I think it wasn’t very disrespectful they way they returned the stuff they did not need.
An absolutely amazing store. The entire place has a charming casual hipster/vintage vibe - you could go here for that alone. I was extremely pleased with the selection they had to offer too - especially when it comes to vintage clothing. I got some pretty cool jackets at extremely good prices. And if you just want to grab a bite with friends and read a book - this place definitely has the perfect ambience for it. Personally, Ill visit them without fail everytime Im in Montreal.
Just wow! The outside looks like a condemned building. But then you go inside. Coolest place in Montréal! One several sprawling floors they sell secondhand clothing and memorabilia would be a boring way to describe it. But the clothes are vintage and the atmosphere indescribable. Friendly young staff abound, the cafe excellent and the atmosphere chill. Go!!!
One of the most sketch place in Montreal. Carrying a gun to visit this place is highly recommended just to protect you self against some non-sin people.
Food is vegan, very tasty and inexpensive. A must-go second hand shop if you live or visit Montreal
Wow, coolest thrift store I’ve ever stepped foot in. The vibe and character in this place is insane, so amazing!! First, you get free popcorn and apple cider at the door (amazing) and a free bag check. This store is massive, and packed with tones of selection! There’s also a cafe/restaurant in the back, food looked great! Staff are lovely, and there is a place to try things on. Definitely recommend. You may be thrown off by the graffiti entrance, but once you step in side you’re blown away.
Been here for the first time and I had such high expectations from all the reviews but i dont think my expectations were met, unfortunately in terms of the stuff they have...the clothes seemed on the pricier side for a thrift store and also there wasnt a mix of stuff. It seemed they cater to the hipsters and the rocker guys and gals, if u know what I mean...more punk style stuff.. on entering, we were greeted with a smile and some acv and some fresh popcorn which was awesome..I was looking for some bags but they had very few and I didnt like any. I also wanted to buy a warm ish jacket buy didnt like the ones they have and they did have a few. I bought a thin zipper jacket more like a fashion one and not a warm one at all.paid $20 for it.
They have some horrific art and writing. its for people who think being offensive is grunge. they have a dummy of michael jackson standing outside a window holding a dummy baby upside down. its not funny. or creative. the clothes there arent too bad but youd really have to look to find something thats worth it. also the entire place smells absolutely disgusting.
Soooo many clothes, in so many rooms! somewhere in there is a pearl, but you need to really be willing to look. prices are slightly higher than at other used clothing stores. Eva B also has a great café and a great vibe. a very fun place to spend some time.
What a fun place w super chill people
Awesome used clothing spot! Great food and drinks! Great staff as well!
Love it. Grungy, cool, pleasant helpful staff. I bought a Stones t-shirt for 10. Ill be back.. to shop for more
Great selection and really good prices. Change rooms are busy and there are only a handful.
Really great thrift shop. You are greeted with free popcorn and hot cider with spices. The place is incredibly beautiful, with unusual decorations, vintage pieces and aquariums. The chai latte is only 2$You can get 15% off combos by bringing your own dishes.If you are planning to sell clothes though, you may plan ahead as the place has a lot of visitors and it can take a while. You better start with dropping your stuff and then browse around. It took around 1h for me. Next time, Ill definitely try the baklavas!
So much to look through, priced fairly (probably the best prices in Montreal Ive seen) and the staff is super friendly.
Ever since eva d opened the selection quality at eva b has decreased
Pretty great thrift store. The upstairs arguably better than the down and a decent selection of vegan snacks while you shop :)
An interesting selection of used clothing, but it can feel a bit overwhelming.
A Montreal thrift store landmark!Has multiple rooms and ambiances!
One of my favorite places while living there. A 3 story thrift shop with a vintage and homemade vibe. An old building adapted; has a terrace on every floor. Lunch options of a beverage, soup, lunch and dessert for $10. My favorites choco biscuits, samosas and a coffee (for $1 each). Usually grabbed 2 on the go. Superb!
Coolest store ever! Awesome music, books, clothes, food, filled with happy people. Something for everyone!
This place have a lot of vintage clothes, initially I thought it was only one floor but on my third times going there I discovered they have a second floor!!! it is very spacious and not expensive
Amazing second hand store with a great variety of items to choose from. You can get pop corns for free while you shop in a loose and chill environment with cool music in the background. Find all kind of stuff!! We also stopped for a tea and coffe and just the tea was really nice but still we sat for a good hour to read and chat. The mini aquarium, the piano, the paintings and everything make it a unique place. Even the out of the building!!
Thats one crazy huge 2 levels thrift store with donated items. Selection is enormous and place overstimulating haha. Despite I havent found any treasure swag I enjoyed it there and recommend for vintage snd trinkets fans.
This place is an experience in vintage shopping! It has a fabulous, artistic energy. The staff are very congenial!
Awesome Thrift shop and Cafe. They have so much stuff. You could spend a whole day and find lots of cool things. Its got this great atmosphere and the staff is really nice. You wont get tired of it. They change the displays often because so many people sell and donate their stuff there. You are guaranteed to find something you like. Otherwise, eat something. Everything is gluten free and vegan.
Creepy and cool and they sell food+coffee too
My favorite thrift shop. Ive been a customer for over a decade. Although the place is somewhat hipster, they will welcome everyone super nicely with a refreshment. They have fun new concepts every now and then, like back in 2012 I remember the pool of clothes where everything was 1$. Its not there anymore but its still very cheap to shop there, their prices are comparable to those of church basement bazaars.in other words, thank you so much Eva B for being there all these times I didnt bring a sweater or broke my shoes downtown.Highlight: the clothes that are tried on by customers are then steam cleaned and disinfected before theyre put back on shelves. Shout out to yall, keep up the good work!
Had an unexpectedly lovely time stumbling into this gem
One of my favourite places in Montreal - huge place with loads of nooks n crannies really fun to explore, great thrift shopping (mostly cheap), cute cafe plus lots of little places to sit within the shop/terraces to have your coffee. I went in the winter & was given free warm apple juice & popcorn on arrival and a free coat check so I didnt have to carry it around with me. Was so warm and welcoming and friendly!! 💞💞
Such a lovely atmosphere! The design inside is super fun. And the popcorn and cookies make me love this place even more!
One of the coolest shops in town!!
The store is funky and eccentric. I loved the leather skirt and earrings I picked up. The staff was helpful.
Im a fan of vintage styles and this place sells good quality and very cheap stuffs. I would come with my bf next time
I always find something unique.
Worth a visit just for a look around! Funky and lovingly curated, it is the quintessential vintage junk store. Also serves coffee and other yummies. Ive heard the samosas are great.
If you come to Montréal for a day or two this vintage store is a fun place to explore! They have a cafe and a couch with Friends being played on TV! Dont forget to checkout the graffiti on the walls and Michael Jackson on second floor!
Great place with amazing vibe! Employees are super friendly and nice as well. It is worth a visit!
Cheap coffee and second-hand clothes and cute maggie.Americano is just 1dollar and the clothes are cheap compared to other secondhand shops. The decoration and the atmosphere is quite nice.
They serve hot beverages in the winter as soon as you walk in. Walk around and make sure you dont miss anything, because their stuff is amazing. BUT I never seem to find my size, a small. They offer food inside as well! Honestly very homey and comfortable, but there is little room for all the visitors they get. I recommend if youre looking for very different styles, they have everything! Even books and decor!
A very unique place. It is a kinda very cultural second hand shop. You can get free popcorn and limonade at the entrance.
They have the best samosas.
Unique second-hand clothing store with food & coffee. Worth your time!
Super friendly staff, fun ambiance, wide selection of unique items on two floors. Love the staff picks racks. Cute cafe with amazing looking giant chocolate chip cookies (takeout only during covid)
Amazing store due to its layout and decorations, it gives you the impressions of having fallen through a rabbit hole to a thrift shop paradise!Like any thrift shops, you can bring clothing that you dont use anymore and they will give a store credit that you can then use to buy clothing that you will actually wear!You can also eat there for pretty cheap and still get pretty sizable portions! My favourite part is the spicy popcorn that you can grab for free.
I love this place, either a cup of tea or coffee, a really good veggie lunch and really good price or to bye 2nd hand clothes
Thrift store with great selection, coffee and vibe. However, the prices are a bit higher than other places. But its a unique experience. Must go.
WONDERFUL STORE!! Must visit even if its just to drink a tea, or grab a sandwich (grilled cheese was delicious), incredible selection of second hand clothing, fair prices.
Great inexpensive vegan food
One of the most unique thrift store experience youll ever have. All sorts of treasures to find. Plus, a really nice cafe inside, as well. Really appreciated being served a drink at the door on a hot day.Be prepared to check your bags at the door.
I couldnt find anything for me. I tried couple of clothes but no luck. Although, I might be coming again to look around and to try their cafe eateries 🙂 it was my first visit at Eva B and hopefully will be able to succeed next time.
Great place to buy coffee and chill.
Great vibe. Awesome song choices, super adorable staff!
Very cool place
We had key lime pie and a vegan burger here yesterday that changed our life. Also, mind bogglingly cheap. 3$ for 2 coffees and baklava? Cool thriftable goods for using as is or for creating new stuff with. Nice staff too.
Really cool store and the food is surprisingly good. You can get a whole bunch of food for 10$ and they are usually reasonable with how much they give you for your used stuff. Whenever we have stuff to donate we bring it there and can usually get lunch with the money they give us
One of the best vintage store I have visited
One of my favourite thrift shops!! Unique experience since there’s also a cafe/food. The cookies are amazing. Nice decoration and super friendly and helpful Staff.
Amazing food & clothing selection!
I come here for the café.They have really good tasty food. they serve sandwiches, soup, salads, desert, snacks, dumplings,coffee. I love the wraps, sandwiches and their samosas. Everything is so affordable.They will buy your old clothes and give you store credit. i use it to buy food. They have a terrace now not functinnning due to covid but its really nice when available. really cool store to walk around and explore , they have decor hanging everywhere!! staff is super nice
Wonderful vintage shop and cafe. I got a coffee, chocolate and a samosa for CAN$2!
Very eclectic second hand merchandise, including vintage clothing. Staff are friendly! They make your visit an experience, by greeting you at the door and offering popcorn & tea while you browse. They have a comfy seating area where you can have a coffee and relax. If you are looking for western boots, they have many!!! If you are in Montreal go check it out!!!
Very funky, eclectic shop, chock full of vintage clothing and dusty books. The score is loud music played from a turntable. Very odd store, with steps up and down and all around. More of a curiosity than anything; not much in the way of actually useful things. Fun but thats all.
Love Eva B. Nice range of things but a real go to if youre looking for specific/out of the ordinary clothing or accessories for costumes. A bit of a hipster vibe. You can also enjoy a snack with a view on the terrace.
This place is huge and they have all kinds of cool stuff, not just clothes but home decor and other random stuff. Good prices. Theres a cafe when you enter and we were greeted with hot cider and a friendly smile. If youre looking for costume pieces or vintage clothes or funky party outfit, a wig... this is the place to check out for sure.
Lots of interesting items for sale, you could spend a while going through it all.
I never fail to leave this store without at least one little treasure. Their prices are incredibly reasonable, for both clothing and food. They have vegan and vegetarian options, everything I’ve tasted has been delicious!
Being there is a wholesome experience! I always stop by even if I’m in Town for only one day.
Awesome stuff! the staff was kind, but seemed to be stressed and I can’t blame them, the place is a full experience. food, books, clothes and accessories GALORE. the price was fairly up there but reasonable– good vintage clothes aren’t cheap!
Love this little gem! Find amazing pieces at amazing prices! I could spend hours in there. Thank goodness its not too close to home.Also love that they sell foods and have a cafe/food section.On my way out I saw someone drop off a fresh batch of samosas that smelled like heaven!!!Cant wait to shop there again!
This is my favourite cafe. The food is delicious and SO cheap! $2 lattes, $1 samosas, $1 gigantic chocolate chip cookies, and lots of sandwiches to choose from if youre hungrier. Everything is served on cool vintage silver trays. The seating area is cozy and someone is usually playing the piano. Everyone working there is so nice. Im looking forward to going in the summer because they have tons of lovely outdoor seating.
Great place to look for older clothes (50s and up). The employees are all super friendly. Feels very home like. Free popcorn!! They have good food too!
Such a lovely second-hand store. Upon entering you can put your bag and coat for coat check and they had small snacks like popcorn and apple cider that were complementary.On the main floor is a combination of jackets, vests, cowboy boots (like so many cowboy boots), purses, jewelry and they have a snack bar where you can order wraps, samosas, baklava, coffee, cookies etc. They have a small seating area towards the back where you can enjoy your snacks while taking a break between shopping.Upstairs theres a mens section, varies from plaid shirts/button ups, shoes, hats,/caps, jackets, sweaters, and bottoms. Theres a small nook by the window for eating and across the floor theres a couple couches and sofas to relax, play some games and eat.Towards the left, theres another room where they have a variety of old records/vinyls, frames, sewing odds and ends, plates and prints/posters.If you keep going further in, thats the main room for womens clothing. Varies from scarves, hats, shoes, bottoms, shorts, overalls, jackets, dresses, swimwear, lingerie and such.They have 2 changing rooms, one on the first floor and another on the 2nd floor. A lot of items are priced anywhere from 50 cents to $25. They take cash and card but charge 25 cents for a paper bag, which ripped on me after walking to the metro, best to bring your own reusable bag.Theres a cash desk on the 1st floor which is where you pay for all your things. Oh and they also had a second division on the first floor which I was told had books and other furniture.I would definitely visit again and bring my own bag :) I could spend hours in there!
