• Five & Dime Antique Mall: 1400 19th St., Bakersfield, CA 93301
  There's so much to love about the Five & Dime Antique Mall! It's a three-story, air-conditioned building packed with antiques, collectibles, and vintage items. We're not the only ones who love shopping here—it was also voted the best antique mall in The Bakersfield Californian Best of 2020 Reader's Choice Poll. After you've worked up an appetite with all the shopping, we recommend having lunch at Woolworths Diner, which is located inside the mall. It's the last Woolworth Luncheonette in the country and still has the original look and feel. This is an experience in itself and is well worth taking the time to visit.
