The Most Delicious Antiques in Bakersfield

Go2Girlz

★★★★★ 4.6 (5)

"This is the second locations for Go 2 Girlz. This one is located in our wonderful downtown area. This store is adorable, quirky and just down right fun. I found so many Xmas gifts and it's only May. When you walk in to the left you will see all the vintage hard to find candy. They will assist you if you want to purchase some. T-shirts, stickers, candles, vintage clothing and games. Too much to write, just go in and enjoy. The other location on Curry ave is more furniture and this is the fun gifty items. ** they ask that you please wear your mask on your nose and mouth."

Hanford Antique Emporium

★★★★☆ 4 (13) • $$

"It was a random stop for us but their vinyl section inside is AMAZING. I wish I knew beforehand how much this place offered on demand. Very cool stuff displayed everywhere, even if you're not expecting much you might enjoy just browsing this business. Owner offered a discount to some items during check out but we hand found enough to bring home. Definitely wanna come by for another look."

Nantiquez Vintage Flair

★★★★☆ 4.3 (13)

"Customer service was indeed welcoming. This store is FULL, vibrant, frilly, and feminine. It was interesting to browse. It's not really my personal style and everything was priced well above what other antique stores are charging, so I did not feel confident in finding something for me. However, it was really cool to see a Barbie case I had when I was 8 years old."

The Great Estate Sales

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"This place is fabulous! Don't let the warehouse exterior fool you. It's elegant inside and curated well. I've never seen so many authentic antiques in one place. Make sure you have enough time to see everything. The owner and his wife are super nice."

Lah-De-Dah

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"Really cute place. A combo of antique store w lots of stuff plus a fabric store. A mom and daughter there running it when I went in. My husband was worried when I came back with a bag but when I said was only $9 he was happy!! Best find was a vintage pink panther plush for my friend whose nickname is pink panther as she has pink hair. A fun place and like supporting small businesses"

Visalia Vintage & Antiques

★★★★★ 5 (24) • $$

"I love this place every time I visit!!! it's two stories and they have lots of great things. I've bought vintage clothes and lots of cats. I find that some things are reasonably priced in a lot of booths. This place is great and if you love Antiquing you'll love that store! I can easily spend a couple hours here!"

The Hermit House

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"The Hermit House is a gem located in beautiful Pine Mountain Club, CA and just a stone's throw from the fabulous Bigfoot Café (coffee bar, fresh food made by an in-house chef, gifts and books) where I had been before checking out the Hermit House for the first time. I will definitely be going back to discover more of the treasures awaiting me... Leave yourself plenty of time to peruse all this cornucopia has to offer. Oh, and the service is wonderful too."

The Mother Lode

★★★★☆ 4.4 (7) • $

"Had some great antiques to look at. Bit of history throughout. Lots of unique and fun items! Stones, hippy items, some music, posters, clothing and art pieces from local artists. Nice stop! Come on in!"

Rustic & Refined Interiors

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I have been in here several times to make purchases; I highly recommend you check her out. She has a beautiful store, and her customer service is above and beyond, and her items are just beautifully done."

Main Street Antique Mall

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Me and my mom love going to antique stores, and this store is our favorite. The owners are super nice and there are a ton of treasures to explore. The prices are reasonable as well! I definitely recommend this being your first stop on your antique outings."

This & That Home Decor

★★★★☆ 4.1 (10)

"Let's start off with the owner is very nice. She is welcoming and helpful. This place is so full of stuff and so crowded my anxiety gets the best of me. This probably doesn't bother others at all. It's just very congested. So I don't come here for that reason. The adjoining shop is for their delicious homemade chocolates. I have bought many gifts there. I highly recommend it. The candy store is decorated cute and so organized. Great place to get Christmas gifts or any occasions."

Exeter Flower

★★★★☆ 3.7 (15) • $$$

"We worked with Janna for our wedding flowers. She is the best! Janna was always very willing to listen and offer her expert opinion. She was very knowledgable and not at all pushy. We live a few hours north of Exeter- Janna was always willing to accommodate us when we were in town. She was also very good about getting back to us. We ordered the following:bride bouquet- calla lilliesgroom boutonniere- calla lilleuncle boutonnieres- white rosebridesmaid flower for hair- gardeniacenterpieces for 27 tables- garlands with dark pink carnationsextra pink carnations for DIY flower girl bouquetsNotes:Our wedding was in June in 105 degree weather- we were very concerned but all the flowers made it through the entire day and looked gorgeous.Their prices are not the lowest but we went with them because we loved working with Janna.A few weeks later we were in Exeter and in need of flower arrangements. We didn't think twice- we went straight to Janna :)"

Sharices

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Such a cute shop with local art and antiques. They had lots of cute unique items. The owner is so sweet and really cares about the local artists work. Would definitely recommend stopping by and checking it out."

Go2girlz Estates

★★★★☆ 3.7 (15)

"I have passed by this place everyday for the longest time. I am not a big antique shopper but my daughter loves it. So today we were on a mission to find here some treasures. I know they do estate sales but I have never been to one. So this review is just on the store. It is really cute from the outside and very inviting. We were welcomed right when we walked up. I thought It was decorated really nice and they had a few things I didn't know I needed. I can't get my mind off a beautiful hutch they have. I didn't post any pictures because I don't want anyone to buy it before me. I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to antiques or what things should be priced. The items I was interested in seemed reasonably priced to me. I didn't buy the furniture I wanted but maybe soon I will go back and see if it's still there. I am a 4th of July baby and they had cute LuLaRoe leggings for me. My daughter really liked the store so I am sure we will be going often now."

The Barnyard

★★★★☆ 4 (1) • $$

"Happened upon this junkyard of possibilities that looked like something out of "Hoarders" while taking a drive through Inyokern yesterday. Many things have been left to rust or splinter and crack from exposure, but walking around all the old farm equipment, kitchen appliances, signs, toys, carriages, cars, and furniture proved interesting. Pretty big collections of old scythes, rakes, milk cans, stoves, roller skates, and so on. Didn't notice prices on many things, but the things I saw seemed reasonable. The Barnyard would probably be pretty absorbing for treasure hunters."

By the Water Tower Antiques

★★★★★ 4.9 (15) • $$

"I'm pretty sure Christmas exploded in this store - they have SO many decorations for you to choose from! I came here the weekend after Thanksgiving and this store was already in full holiday spirit. They even have free little treats and hot cider for you to enjoy while you walk around and find things you never knew you needed until now. They had a lot of kitchen gadgets, old signs, and other household items too. I really liked that the whole family seemed to be working at the store too. If you're ever in Exeter, even if it's only for an hour or two, stop by and take a look around!"

The Fox Hole

★★★★☆ 4 (2)

"Business is closing and i can see why. Lots of old items exposed to the elements. Dusty and obviously used. It's like going to a junk yard or an abandoned property. Prices are good if you can find something worth taking home."

Mustard Seed Ranch

★★★★☆ 4.4 (9) • $$

"New Hours + Days !!!I love this place and wanted to add some information that the wonderful owner is having trouble adding here.New hours are from 10AM-4PMNew days are now ALL WEEK except being closed on Thursdays. Great new schedule definitely come by here to see some beautiful works of art (literally). I believed the drawings were photographs but this lady is extremely talented and uses her creativity to design the entire store. It's a little piece of wonderland here. Happy shopping!"

Peddlers Market Antiques & Uniques

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (8) • $$$

"Look I know you'll never go here cause you weren't born and raised here and forced back by familial obligation. BUT, in the event that you have some bizarre 4th cousin living in Visalia and you are forced to attend a wedding or Thanksgiving, go to this store and all your wildest dreams will come true. I'm not lying. I'm so fucking dead serious your head would pop off. My sister and I discovered that this place has the best antique jewelry, clothes (I mean, vintage Gucci, in this town, seriously), jackets from the 40's,, purses from the 20's (and matching hats), leather gloves in every color. This place is a set designer's wet dream, a stylist's true wish, and my own special place (until now that is). This store specializes in vintage whatever at DIRT CHEAP prices, I'm not kidding. I've bought things here that women literally covet with tears in their eyes and when I tell them it was 11 dollars, well, then they just faint away. Here's to hoping you have to go to Visalia right? Wrong, it's all mine...."

Riverbend Cottage

★★★★☆ 4 (3)

"I love this little antique/vintage/junk store! Lots of stuff to look at and every time I've visited there's been a sale. This time it was 20% off anything with plants, pets or people! :)Owner is very sweet and prices are good."

Central Park Antique Mall

★★★★☆ 4 (18) • $$

"Nice and organized antique mall.This location has a large selection of items, anything from action figures, books, Pokémon cards, decor and clothes.Very little furniture. Each vendor was nicely organized with purposeful items.Staff was friendly and attentive.Dress warm in winter and cool in summer (general antique shopping practice)!"

The She Shed by The Peachy Pig

★★★★☆ 4.3 (15)

"Love it here! Everyone is so nice and talented! I came in and saw they were holding a class so I signed up for it. I learned how to paint my own furniture it was a really fun class! I was able to bring in my own price of furniture and they supplied the paint and brushes. All of the furniture in there is stunning and reasonably priced I bought a beautiful shelf and a little mason jar."

Alecia's Furniture Refinishing

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"This place is great. Dick and his staff do tremendous work. Dick restored a 1945 bedroom set to its original condition for us. It looks beautiful and perfect. Dick is knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Dick came and picked it up at my in-laws in Modesto, and delivered it to the Bay Area. The pricing was great, much cheaper than in the Bay Area, and no one around here would even attempt the job because of its complexity and labor intensity. We also sent Dick back to Tulare with a couple of drawer guides that needed to be remade. They are already ready (this was on Saturday and it is now Wednesday). Dick is going to ship them back to me.I cannot recommend Alecia's Furniture Refinishing enough. I will definitely use them again."

Bob's Army and Navy Store

★★★★☆ 4.2 (14) • $$

"So, a couple of us were driving through Mojave on a geocaching run and happen to come across this place out of the corner of our eye. We just had to stop!From the outside, there are all kinds of plane & helicopter parts, engines, a jeep, and a bunch of other stuff that only a crazy person would have to collect. But hey, we're going in, so what does that make us?If you like browsing through old militaria and weird stuff, you will love this place. I don't even know where to start! There's cameras, books, camo suits, gas masks, ammo cans, hats, caps, pins, uniforms, canteens, binoculars, all kinds of antique items, gold panning supplies (old and new), aircraft gauges, army boots, need I say more? One thing for sure, if you are looking for some type of camouflage clothing, THIS is the place to go. not only do they have a variety of items, they have it all sorted out ... Desert, Army, Navy, German, British, etc, you name it - must be at least 30-40 styles. Biggest selection I've ever seen!We spent about 20 minutes just wandering through but we didn't buy anything. We were on a mission, but we'd like to come back sometime when we have more time! If you have just 10 minutes, I'd recommend checking this place out just for the fun of it even if you aren't into this stuff. You won't be disappointed."

U-neek Findz

★★★★★ 4.8 (18) • $$

"This is the kind of store you'll want to visit frequently. The inventory is constantly changing, and there are so many unique treasures to discover. I'm already picking up gifts for Christmas and upcoming birthdays. I guarantee you'll find something irresistible. Plus, the owner, Charles, is a great guy--I always enjoy stopping by to say hello and, of course, do some shopping.8/26/24"

Oleander and Palm

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"This is my favorite local store downtown if not in the entire city. If you have friends who are difficult to shop for or have eclectic tastes, Oleander + Palm probably has exactly what you're looking for. This tiny boutique tucked away in the cutest shopping arcade stocks items you won't find anywhere else in town including vintage accessories for the home, cards, and candles. I try to stop by during the holidays each year to browse their vintage Christmas ornament selection. They're stocked with classic style glass ornaments from the 1970s and 80s. I love the patina on these mostly American-made ornaments which are such high-quality when compared to new ornaments. The owners are incredibly helpful and make excellent recommendations. I recently found the perfect mid-20th century hand-blown glass tree topper still in its original box with their help. The store always smells great with scented candles burning making the place inviting and cozy. They carry a lot of brands from companies and stores that share their ethos. And the prices are reasonable for the one-of-a-kind items they sell from these purveyors - many of them international. Oleander + Palm epitomizes what it means to shop locally. And we're lucky to have them here."

Betty J's Antiques & Collectibles

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3) • $$

"What a fantastic store. Clean and organized. It was a pleasure looking for treasure in Betty J's."

Ryans Rust

★★★★★ 5 (7) • $$

"This is a very cute antique store it has a lot of cute stuff some old some newer if you like antique stores I recommend coming out here and checking it out. Just not its. Super COLD. We're jacket. Other then that very cute"

Antiques on the Grapevine

★★★★☆ 3.6 (25) • $$$

""Professors from Caltech do not really work here!"We always have a fun time at this antique mall when we're traveling from the Bay Area to Los Angeles. The people here are really friendly, although one time a clerk told me an odd story that was hardly believable. He told me he was a professor from Caltech who was just doing a little bit of a sabbatical working here, since he had had a brain injury from a crash. I believed him of course, since I am rather gullible. But the next time we came here, the new clerk told me, "It was all complete BS."Of course, at that point I felt sort of sheepish, but I still couldn't help wondering how the professor was doing, recovering from his brain injury.The Antique Mall actually includes dozens of different merchants. So keep in mind that they set their own sales. The day that we visited some Merchants had 20% off, and some even 50% off. There are a lot of little rooms sort of tucked away off the main Corridor so you have to search around to find all the merchants.At the front desk, they have all types of sort of questionable fossils including dinosaur poop. I'm not exactly sure how they authenticate these items. That's some of the back rooms they have lots of swords and Military memorabilia. I found these quite interesting. Probably more interesting and probably more authentic than the dinosaur poop.Ask at the front counter for the key to the single bathroom, which is sort of clunky and a bit dirty.So all in all, a fun place to visit and do a little shopping. But don't believe it if someone tells you he's a professor from Caltech."

Hanford Bargain Center

★★★★★ 5 (6) • $$

"Hanford Bargain Center has a lot of furniture and antiques. The building is very large and the staff is attentive and friendly. I highly recommend stopping by."

Mill Creek Antique Mall

★★★★★ 4.5 (32) • $$

"pretty nice antique store in bakersfield and it's on the corner so you can't miss it. i've been in here a few times and it's huge, there's an upstairs to it as well! this store offers a great selection of items ranging from vintage toys, books, cds/vinyls, clothes, house decor and other cool items. i didn't have any experience on customer service since i hadn't bought anything. i will say that this store is a bit on the pricey side of antique goods. there's a good amount of name brand stuff in there for a little high of a price but even the no name brand items are costly as well. bakersfield doesn't offer many sight sores but this store is a great place to visit if you're around. there's so many items to choose from and many collectibles as well. i'd definitely go back and easily spend another hour looking at anything new in stock"

Glamtic

★★☆☆☆ 1.8 (66) • $$

"I was a little nervous to come here because I've seen how the owner speaks to his customers on facebook-yikes. But I was looking for something different and saw a cool piece on their page so I decided to come in. A young girl helped me and was very sweet. Overall I was there about 10 minutes and everything went smoothly while I was there. When I got home I saw that the base of the mirror to the vanity I bought had been cracked when it was removed by one of the employees. It was really uncool of them to not mention it when they did it. I was near them but not watching them. I should have been. I didn't contact the shop because I've seen how they respond to unhappy customers and didn't really feel like fighting over something I could figure out how to fix myself. Even though I shouldn't have to. Also, the paint job that they did was so horrible. They took a beautiful old vanity and painted it this mauvey color and then swiped it with blue to "antique" it. Anyone that knows how to properly antique things knows this is a cheap ugly way to do it. That and they ignored spots they didn't think people would immediately see like underneath where you sit in the vanity, or behind the legs..but you should still paint those areas lol. Thankfully I was already planning on stripping that ugly paint job and redoing it. I ended up loving how it turned out but it wasn't cheap even though it was water damaged, painted horribly and broken. Looking back I should have passed on it but now that it's in my daughters room and it looks awesome I don't regret it. I probably wouldn't come here again though, there are much more clean and friendly places in town to get old furniture. Pros- they have a lot of cool items and if you're like me and like to rummage this is a fun place to check outCons- a lot of their items are sitting outside so they have water and sun damage, bugs, and a ton of dirt on and inside them. Be prepared to clean your pieces well before bringing them into your home. None of their items are marked which seems a little fishy to me because I've heard people get a lot of different prices quoted to them based on the day, time or person they asked. And of course their scary owner. Don't question him or he will bite your head off haha."

Dart Thrift Store

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I got a sweater, 3 movies, a candle holder, and a purse, all for $4.50 total. That is fair pricing, to say the least. This thrift store does not claim to be fancy or cool in any way, so don't come with any expectations. They have everything basically organized and easy to see. It's not attractively merchandised, but they do have quite a bit to look at and any regular thrift store shopper will appreciate this place for what it is. They test all electronics before putting them on the sales floor. Their book shelves were surprisingly empty on the day of my visit. They had a bunch of different quilted Vera Wang purses that were cute and like new. They have lots of big furniture pieces, several from the 80s and 90s. Clothing has colored barbs to indicate price. When I asked questions about pricing, an associate was accommodating and helpful with her answers. We'll definitely be back."
