Mintage Cafe

Right on Robson, Mintage is a bright, airy space that feels more boutique than thrift. While the well-organized racks and clean displays make for easy browsing, the selection leans heavily on t-shirts and casual wear rather than true vintage gems. The custom t-shirt station in the back adds a fun twist, though you'll have to brave a slightly musty smell. Prices are decent for Vancouver, but I've found the staff can be hit-or-miss with customer service. Worth checking out if you're nearby, but not quite the treasure trove it could be.
