The Next Round boutique interior in Oakland — warm ivory walls, curated racks of vintage clothing, plants, and books
Next Round Thrift Boutique & Studio — Shop, Build, Learn

2881 38th Ave · Oakland, CA

More Than a Store.
A Place to Belong.

A thrift boutique, an upstairs creative studio, and a gathering place for Oakland's makers, dreamers, and neighbors. Shop the racks, reserve the space, and pull up to the next event.

Welcome to Next Round

A corner of Oakland built for the whole neighborhood — where the racks are full, the studio is open, and everyone gets a seat.

Next Round is a thrift boutique first — a carefully curated collection of secondhand clothing, home goods, plants, and local finds, each piece with a story worth keeping.

But it's also a creative studio, a weekly gathering place, and a community program — a space where Oakland shows up for itself. New round, same neighborhood. Come as you are.

Community Program

Free kids' clothing, always

Families shouldn't have to choose between a new outfit and the next bill. Our free kids' clothing program keeps the youngest members of the neighborhood dressed — no cost, no questions, no gatekeeping.

It runs alongside our weekly gatherings and volunteer days. If you have gently used children's clothing to pass on, or know a family who could use it, this is your round.
