    A little bit of everything!
    Melissa V.

    What a cool find! Stopped on our way the desert to check it out and we were so glad we did! Run by a friendly couple and they have snacks, a museum of vintage stuff, spy stuff, gadgets of all sorts, and thrift stuff. Worth a stop for sure! See you next time!

    Dropped by to pick up some snacks. Got to talk to the owner, Danny. Amazing guy! He talked to me about local history, and even recommended a few spots to check out. I did and they were amazing! I came in for coffee, and I left with an experience!

    This is not a cafe. No food is served. Only a portable potty available and they ask for a donation to use it.

    One Star - Very Disappointing Experience…read more Unfortunately, my family and I had a very unpleasant experience at Treasure House Mall, and we will not be returning. When we first entered the store, we were warmly greeted by a sweet elderly woman who welcomed us, held my daughter's tiny dog, and even encouraged us to explore downstairs. Based on that interaction, we believed having the small dog was not an issue. Shortly after, another staff member approached us. This staff member was very heavy set Hispanic man. He so very rudely told us we had to leave immediately because of the dog. His tone was smug, dismissive, and completely unprofessional, which was especially upsetting given that we had already been welcomed moments earlier. There was no polite explanation or attempt to resolve the situation--just an abrupt demand that we leave. This incident was even more frustrating because just a few days prior, the same employee told us we only had 15 minutes to shop when there was still over an hour left before closing. At this point, the repeated negative encounters with the same individual made us feel singled out and unwelcome. As Black customers who live in Barstow and have shopped here frequently, it's incredibly disappointing to feel treated this way. Whether intentional or not, the inconsistency and hostility in how we were handled came across as discriminatory and left a very bad impression. Treasure House Mall seriously needs to address this employee's behavior. Rudeness, inconsistency, and lack of professionalism drive loyal local customers away. Sadly, our family will no longer be supporting this business.

    3.7 stars. The thrift store portion is unattractive and messy. We didn't make a purchase. The…read moreantique mall next door is very interesting and thoughtfully merchandised. I would have loved to stay, shop, and drop some cash but it was 108° outside and these businesses do not have adequate cooling. It was absolutely awful. I usually take lots of photos in antique malls but I wasn't enjoying myself this time due to the discomfort, so I didn't take any. Me and another person in my party got lightheaded and left. It was a bummer. Like, how are you in the middle of the desert without proper air conditioning for your customers, let alone your poor employees?

    What a wonderful surprise! Who thought I would find treasures only a few minutes away f on my…read morecampground. From the moment I walked in, I was delighted by the incredible variety of home décor, antiques, vintage treasures, and quirky collectibles throughout the store. Every booth felt thoughtfully curated, with its own unique personality and charm. It was obvious that a great deal of care and creativity went into each display, making it a joy to browse and discover unexpected treasures around every corner. One thing that really stood out was the pricing. Everything was priced very reasonably, and each piece felt like an incredible value. In a time when many antique and vintage shops seem overpriced, it was refreshing to find such unique items at fair prices. The sales associate was a bit quiet when we first arrived, but as we continued shopping and checked out, she was incredibly pleasant, friendly, and personable. She carefully packed my purchase and made the experience feel warm and welcoming. If you love hunting for unique finds, vintage pieces, antiques, or one-of-a-kind décor items, this is definitely a place worth visiting. I left with a beautiful purchase and am already looking forward to coming back to see what new treasures I might find next time.

    I was out this way for work and looked up local thrift stores because I thought I'm sure they have…read morean interesting selection of items in the middle of nowhere. Searched the Yelp app and Thrift & More appeared. I visited on a weekday and when I arrived and parked it was like a storefront out of a movie. I'd describe it as an old western looking thrift store on the outside, There's some clothing for sale, but you really come here for the nick-knacks, art, albums, appliances, etc. It's room after room of surprises from almost every era. The prices are fair in my opinion. I've been to estate sales in Los Angeles/Pacific Palisades area, and some of this stuff could have come from that area, but over there it would be 3 times the price. If you're an interior designer looking for specific items, I would make the trip out here. It's run by an older lady, sitting at a table, in the middle of the treasure trove of antique junk. I could have spent another 2 hours combing through everything in detail if I had more time. They are CASH ONLY and there's an ATM at the Upton liquor store across the street. It's a must stop and see attraction in my opinion.

    I timed my road trip to stop there at opening which now I see is listed as 9:30 on yelp and 10:30am…read moreelsewhere. I got there at 10am and waited but no one ever came. I read another review with the same experience which means you can't trust the hours. That's sad. I was really looking forward to spend my shopping budget there.
