Eva B comes across as a quirky, stylish thrift spot with a cafe, a place where every corner invites digging for unusual finds and the vibe is eclectic and welcoming. The two level layout shows a wide mix of vintage and second hand items and the decor invites exploration as much as shopping, with an in house coffee shop and snacks. Prices are generally praised as reasonable and the store aims to be affordable, though some pieces are seen as overpriced for what they are. The atmosphere is often described as fun and busy with a maximalist vibe, plus a terrace and cozy seating, but some reviewers note crowds, a few smells or cleanliness concerns, and accessibility issues due to the building. Overall the place is viewed as a standout for thrifting and cafe culture, delivering great finds, tasty treats, and a memorable ambiance, with caveats about consistency and practical details.
FR: Cela faisait longtemps que je voulais venir, & l'occasion s'est enfin présentée aujourd'hui. La boutique n'a pas déçu !
Normalement, je suis le genre de client qui se sent vite submergé & qui veut s'enfuir, mais l'expérience a été très agréable. Malgré le fort achalandage de ce samedi après-midi (la boutique a un succès évident), l'ordre du lieu m'a permis de circuler sans stress.
Grâce à cette organisation, non seulement j'ai trouvé quelque chose rapidement, mais j'ai gardé assez d'énergie pour dénicher une deuxième pièce & même patienter pour les cabines d'essayage, ce que je ne tolère pas d'habitude.
Note humoristique : Se déplacer dans le magasin est presque un sport extrême à cause de l'irrégularité du plancher. Allez-y prudemment, mais allez-y ! Je suis reparti très satisfait de mes trouvailles.
EN: I've wanted to visit for a long time, & the opportunity finally came today. The shop did not disappoint!
I'm usually the type of shopper who gets overwhelmed quickly & wants to run out, but the experience here was very pleasant.
Despite the high traffic this Saturday afternoon (the shop is clearly very successful), the organization of the space allowed me to flow through without stress.
Thanks to that order, not only did I find something quickly, but I also had enough energy to find a second item & even wait for the fitting rooms-something I usually have zero patience for.
Funny note: Moving through the store is practically a high-risk sport due to the uneven floors. Tread carefully, but definitely go! I left very satisfied with my finds.
Trendy maximalist thrift store with a wide selection of clothes & accessories. They also had a small café where you can order drinks while you're shopping, but I didn't get anything. Reasonably priced stuff, I got a really great ski jacket for $55.
But I should warn some people that it's an old building so some of the wood flooring on the first floor is pretty warped so you may need to skip this place if you have trouble walking or use a mobility aid.
LOVE this place!!! Such a cute, unique, hip spot to find some amazing vintage finds, as well as, a cool coffee, pastry cafe to chill out. 2 floors of shopping full of great vintage clothing & all super well priced. T-shirts for as low as $5, sweaters $15, jackets $30-$40, & more. Super crazy facade & even more so interior with multiple landings & steps, so keep watch while browsing. Also really nice sales staff which is a plus.
One of the best thrift stores in Montreal. Vintage stuff on first floor, & cheaper clothes on second floor. They have changing rooms & a great cafe! I love it here
Every time I visit Montréal; Eva B such an inviting atmosphere. Two floors, upper floor $3 $5 to $10. Rock on to tunes while browsing color sorted; multi racks of ecclectic boots, shoes, purses, carry bags. Make sure to look up, lovely staff, make yummy sandwiches to chat & eat on both floors outside patios. His n her bathrooms. 😋 As well as indoor booths to chow delights & socialize. Great 👍 staff n venue; a must see!

I went on a Saturday afternoon which I understood in advance would be the worst time to go. It was very crowded but not chaotic. I would suggest going at a non-peak hour. Staff is nice, cafe is great. All affordable & fair. Around COVID, they downsized the space, but it's still 2 decently sized floors. I also feel like despite the "we are alternative fashion" vibe & massive inventory, the actual selection was predominantly normie. I think people know Eva B is good, & they ransack it. Still 5* though because if you dig-dig you can find something, but again you have to work for it. I'll definitely be back when it's less busy!
