We found some awesome pieces at the Blessing Barn & books at the adorable bookstore/cafe next door! I loved the staging in the barn's first floor and the variety of items sold. There is at least one small changing room which is helpful and a restroom in both buildings. I'm taking off one star only because while some prices were great ($2-3 clothing in certain sections!), some items that weren't vintage felt a bit overpriced. It's definitely worth checking out and trying to find some deals. read more

Never feel bad about shopping when I thrift here. The profits help so many people. And the staff are so helpful and kind.

I have found lots of treasures wandering through the many floors. There are really great people all around, and specifically at donations, Matt and Cameron were helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks! read more

One of the best charity shops to donate to as well as to buy from! The staff is friendly, the prices are always reasonable and the barn is always beautifully decorated with the many lovely donations they receive and the Book Store Cafe is a pleasure to take a break at and have a coffee. The staff at the Cafe have the best smiles, too! Highly recommended! read more

I purchaed a (what i thought was real ) fur coat for $200. It was merchandised with all the real furs so i was under the impression it was real. Especially since it was $200!! I contacted the store and told them I was not happy i found the same coat on ebay for $30. Never heard from anyone about this. I was duped and they don't care. read more

The Blessing Barn is a fairly large building that offers a variety of items including used furniture, clothing, kit hand dining room items in addition to toys and other finds. Most if not all items are donated so the prices seemed to be low. I purchased a glass cake pedestal with a dome in perfect condition for $12. The same item at Home Goods would cost $30. read more

Good selection of antiques. Workers can be rude, but some are helpful. The prices are moderate, but you'll have your share of bargains and expensive things. Strange that they keep products in a dusty room or basement. The store is slightly accessible, but wheelchair users are unable to reach some spots. Great thrift store and easy to donate! read more

If I were a young person just starting out this is a great place to pick up household items like dishes, drink ware and furniture. Was disappointed in the antique selection. What a beautiful place with a very relaxing atmosphere! read more

Love the bookstore building. Great feel and run by individuals with diverse abilities along with support. Got two kids books and cookies. read more

This is definitely one of the largest thrift stores I've ever seen!!!! I can't offhand remember how many floors there is to ponder through...3 or 4 floors. Most of the store is made up into different departments.... furniture, China and dishes, clothing, baby, bridal, clothing, kitchen etc. And they even have a bargain basement!!! You could probably spend hours here so thankfully they have a coffee bar with treats which is help yourself and donation based. The best part all sales help location nonprofits!!! read more

This is my go to for donating my items, knowing the money goes to a good cause. They take time to display items in an appealing manner, grouping like things and always have holiday displays.

Woah, that was fun. This is a large space with lots of furniture, dishware, clothes and odds & ends. I just love looking for old china pieces in good condition and this place has plenty. Entire sets of dishes, silverware and flatware, vases in a rainbow of colors, crystal glasses, roasting pans, dressers, hat boxes. So much stuff. We started on the main floor which has a lot of furniture pieces, some clothes, china and crystal. Then we meandered down to the lower level which has all sorts of cooking items, glassware and home decor. Back up to the main level and up another flight to rocking chairs and other pieces of furniture. We didn't wander through, but it looks like there are gowns up there too. All in all this was a very nice afternoon wandering through beautiful and useful household items. So many items caught my eye, but I managed to control myself and only picked up what I really needed. Really. read more

This is not your average thrift store! In fact, it is the farthest thing from Savers that could possibly be imagined. Merchandise is beautifully curated and artfully displayed, with objects arranged according to similar colors and special collections (for instance, an artistic collection of baskets and a whole grouping of world travel souvenirs and artisan crafts, from Africa to Latin America). The only display that seemed out of place with the overall high quality were the shelves of partially used toiletry items - like a bottle of hand lotion only 3/4 full...There is even a bridal salon on the top floor, complete with 3 way mirror, raised platform for the bride to stand on, and a comfortable sofa for her support team. Even a bride on a budget can feel like a princess here. The overall ambiance is very pleasant, with relaxing music and a subtle scent of candles or potpourri. There is a bargain basement of small kitchen appliances and other household items, all very clean and well organized. Whole estates seem to be donated here and some items are pricey and comparable to an antique shop - like a full set of Limoges china for $300.00. There were some astonishing bargains as well and I came away with several vintage treasures that were real finds priced well below fair market value. The staff are courteous and helpful. This was a wonderful discovery and I'm sorry I was put off by other reviews critical of high prices. I've been passing this gem by on that account but now I look forward to returning soon and checking out the neighboring bookstore cafe and food truck. All for a good cause. (Unlike Savers, which donates only a nominal percentage to charity). Highly recommended! read more

I love love this place. Not only is it affordable it is beautifully decorated too! Whatever you are looking for they will probably have it: homewares, clothes, upscale designer items, furniture , prom and bridal dresses!! AND they give back to the local community and those with special needs - win-win!! I use them to supplement my crafting supplies and home decor. Plus some zen time :) as it's visual treat for the eye! read more

There are a couple other reviews on here that I think really covers this place well. I was wondering why there was no one at the coffee kiosk....(because it is self-serve). This place wasnt really my speed of a thrift shop, but I think someone that really likes to browse will spend some time here and have a good time. My daughter enjoyed walking around the barn and I felt like there was a new space around every corner. I did like the bargain basement and I will probably go back there when I have a specific purpose. This trip was for teenager clothes and there didnt seem to be much for her here. However, if you are looking for housewares, this is a good place. Again, I had a good time listening to the music and walking around. I did like the floor that had the records and musical instruments. Prices seem to be slightly higher than your Salvation Army. For instance, records normally will go fro $1.99. At this store, they are $3 and some are $5. Bottom line is that this is a solid 4 star and we will come back with my spouse. read more

Love the vibe of this place but i mostly come for the chairs. This chair specifically is the best chair in the house. Not sure why this chair style is not more prevalent. It cured my escoliosis scistic fibrosis and dyslexia all in one. Highly recommend you sit in this chair. read more

I enjoy moseying around The Blessing Barn once every few months to see the circulation of new items. From when the barn first opened, this place has grown so much. I'm pretty sure they have like four floors now? There is something for everyone. If you don't live in the Mendon area but you love the fun of hunting for unique goodies and you stumble upon this place, you'll be ecstatic. I mean, I get pretty excited when I visit and I live 15 minutes away. The woman who work here are nice and do a great job with the several displays in the front of the store right when you walk in. All items are donations from the public and the proceeds are donated. Although, in my opinion, some things are overpriced...you can certainly get a bargain and even score a unique find during your time here! read more

We love it here! It's very well organized and everything is thoughtfully placed so you can really get a good look at everything. They move a lot products quickly so always new items to browse. We found some really cute Christmas decor items recently. We always look for holiday themed items when we're out thrifting and we loved the selection. read more

I have mixed feelings about The Blessing Barn. People are donating things to this organization, and they are charging premium prices for +\- garage sale stuff? Honestly, do your homework and find products on Amazon or at Walmart--The Blessing Barn is charging more for all of these things. They have some cute vintage stuff, but you can find these things at other antique places for much, much cheaper. On the other hand, they are donating back to the community, so that's great. But why is everything so expensive? The people who NEED to buy used things can't afford to shop here. read more

The Blessing Barn is a blast to explore...but before you dive in, you gotta start out right: There's an adorable cafe inside, to the right of the main entrance. Stop here first because you can help yourself to coffee, tea, and other treats for a suggested donation. I felt perfectly at home wandering around the four floors with a hot cup o' joe in hand! Okay, now we're ready to start. As you might've guessed by the "treats for donations" cafe bit, things operate a little differently at the Blessing Barn than your usual donation center. True to the store's name, all proceeds go back into the community to do good where needed. If that (and a hot drink!) doesn't give you a warm and fuzzy feeling about shopping here, then I don't know what to tell ya! For those of you who ARE feeling the warm-fuzzies, let us proceed... The rest of the first floor is like an upscale home-goods store plus a boutique thrift shop. It has been highly curated, so this is where you'll find the highest quality antiques, collectibles, clothing, and home furnishings. Accordingly, this is NOT the floor to look for steals and deals. These items were donated, yes, but the value of items has been properly researched and the prices reflect their true value. The second floor is smaller and the stairway up is lined with wall art. (If that's what you're looking for, that's where you'll find it.) Once you're up there, you'll find a small bridal boutique, formal wear, and even some furs. The third floor feels like a hipster attic game room. You've got some sofas and armchairs set up around a table and chessboard, shelves of used books, and various music equipment and vinyl records. This seemed to be where all the teens were hanging out during my visit. Are you ready for the steals and deals now? Down we go to the fourth and final floor, the literal bargain basement! While the other floors' displays are highly curated, the basement is a free-for-all. The Blessing Barn doesn't turn away any donations, so if it's not fancy enough for the upper floors' collections, the basement is where you'll find it: throw pillows, curtains, blankets, books, dvds, children's toys and games, small appliances, cameras, holiday decorations, etc. None of it is fancy, but for just a few dollars, you can't complain. It's definitely an interesting place to explore, and filled with that cozy Hygge feel. So, get yourself a warm drink, see what there is to see, and maybe help your local community when you find that must-have treasure. In any case, you can only win at the Blessing Barn! read more

Very cool place. So big and so well organized. I love how they have things together by color. Their clothing selection isn't as large as their housewares selection, but for housewares, I think you could find anything that you were looking for, and they have a range of prices. However, definitely check the pricing. One of the items was new (still had its original price tag on it), and they were charging more than the original price. Still, there are some great finds here and reasonable prices -- if you pay attention read more

I had a very pleasant experience at the Blessing Barn. Extremely friendly help, large inventory of everything. The barn is very large and has great variety. I always support organizations that help people in need. I Look forward to going back soon, and happy I found a place to donate household items! Wish I knew about this place a long time ago!! read more

This place is so cute! My friend and I came here after grabbing coffee down the street, I discovered them through instagram and had been dying to go! When you first walk in it looks like a truly vintage anthropology! The decorations and layout made you want to grab a cup of coffee and a good book and nestle in for the day. There is furniture, clothes, home goods, childrens toys, and a community room- all on the first floor! I will say the entrance on the first floor and the community room are the most homely while everything else feels like an antique store. (Nothing wrong with that!) The second floor was not as big of a footprint. Some bridal gowns and fancy dresses and random furniture. The third floor just opened the day we came- they had a section of albums, some record players and musical instruments. I ended up buying a cute book for my nephew for 80 cents! Can't beat that! And because it was their second anniversary the day we came (totally didn't plan that) they gave us a cute little gift bag filled with all kinds of lovely surprises. Beyond awesome. The community room is an extension of the rest of the store and transitions from one to another almost seamlessly. There's a huge area of sofas and comfy chairs as well as lots of tables. There is free coffee + pastries and I wish I lived closer because this would be an amazing work space or even place to gather a bible study group, or really any group. I read another review that prices were outrageous. I definitely did not see anything priced like that. I was eyeing a pair of cute red pixie pants that were $8 and there was a fun vintage desk for $120. I don't think this is outrageous at all. I didn't look at prices on everything but it seemed fine to me. Lastly, we were able to meet the director here. She was so sweet and told us how this store was started - out of a need the church felt to give back to their local community. If they were able to sell donated product they would have consistent money coming in that they can use to give back, rather than a one time fundraiser. They serve the local community and also overseas missions. In their own community they've started a program that helps families with autistic children as well as other awesome initiatives. Check. Them. Out. Can't wait to come back! read more

We always enjoying making the trip from Boston to this wonderful place: a huge restored barn with so much reasonably priced merchandise! Very Well-organized & clean, tons to oggle about on varied floors. The proprietor is very kind, friendly, & engaging, completes the experience with such positivity! All proceeds go to very philanthropic needs, each purchase helps those who in transitional needs for better lives! Check this store out! read more

I'm so in love with the Blessing Barn. It's four floors stuffed with the coolest things. I mostly buy home goods and kitchen items but they have everything! I've been able to find antiques, nostalgia items that match things my mom had in her kitchen, and a lot of things that are just fun to have like a hotel style ice bucket for champagne brunches! I make the trip a couple of times a month just to explore, it's also self care and distressing for me to spend an hour by myself just wandering and not looking at a screen. On top of all of that, all purchases benefit good causes. Make the trip, it's SO worth it! read more

Wow! What an unbelievable place! We (my aunt, sister and I) just stopped by on a whim and were blown away by this place! Beautifully organized, great selection, even better prices! We spent over an hour and loved every minute. Great stuff here - quality and clean (and no moldy smell like some antique/thrift places). We whole-heartedly recommend!! read more

First of all I love the decor! Very warm and welcoming. From the moment I entered Theresa was so effervescent and gregarious. Loved that her energy was exceptionally no matter who entered the establishment. Sorry to find out that she has moved on. Lovely person! Love read more

I don't like this place anyways the lady up front she's short with glasses well she just rude to me every time I come in she's so fake ... and this place is over priced and not as good as it used to be . Staff could be more kind read more

Don't waste your time with this place. The prices are out of control! And it's a thrift store, They take DONATIONS. Bed sets are $400 plus, there are a pair of Converse sneakers for $175. Out of control, greedy, and clearly trying to rip you off. Target, home goods, t.j max, Best Buy, kohls are all within a few minutes of here and have much better things that haven't been used for much cheaper. DONT GO HERE!!! read more

Overwhelming in a good way, especially if you like shopping and/or are trying to get lots of home items for a move. This place is not expensive - it's just not priced like a goodwill where there is nothing over $2, but that's fine. There are items for .25 and there are items for a few hundred dollars, but you are definitely saving money by going here and it's going to the community. I found some practically brand new kitchen items here that were only a few dollars cheaper than they would've been in Target. Did I only save a few dollars? Yes. Are they new? No, they are sliiiightly used. But they are clean, look practically new, the money goes to a good cause, and the few dollars you save on each item really adds up. Store was cleaner than any thrift store I've ever been to, staff were really helpful and knew about the inventory, but were never pushy or overbearing. Such great finds. Will be going back and bringing friends. read more

I think the very best thing about the blessing barn is the fact that all of their proceeds go back to people in need within the community. It's a good feeling knowing that the things you buy will also help single mothers, children with special needs, and people with drug and alcohol addictions. It's not every day you get to volunteer your time and we were ready but it's a good feeling that your money goes towards something which helps other people. Separately, it's also a pretty amazing experience when you visit. It may be more expensive than your typical thrift store but the quality is often much better than what you'd find at Salvation Army. It also doesn't smell like a nursing home! The interior design is gorgeous and they have seasonally changing displays and items much like an anthropology or cool coffee shop. That's the other thing! They also invite people to hang out in their community room and have a cup of coffee (they only ask for a donation.) Very cool space, very cool people. read more

don't leave any of your items over in the holding area will still be stolen ... Prices are way out of line too the place is a rip off

when i moved into the area a couple of years ago i found this store and loved going in, looking at their inventory, + i definitely picked up some great finds. it was one of my favorite second hand stores. unfortunately, their prices have gotten a lot higher for a store that sells used items. $12 for a throw pillow? + $10 for a cake stand with a saying written in chalk paint? i could buy those new at a marshall's for the same price or even cheaper. i wouldn't call this a second hand store as much as it is an antique store because of their prices. if you want to find items at a 'second hand' price you'll have a better chance checking out your local salvation army or hitting up some yard sales. read more

Very disappointing and overpriced. No need to go back. A linen tea towel $10, no thank you!

The Blessing Barn charges way too much for their furniture. I have donated many items and furniture over the years but could afford to buy furniture from them when we moved. It's not a thrift store . They are really an antique store posing as a thrift store. read more

This place is wonderful, full of so many treasures. Some items are expensive but there is also a wide selection of reasonably priced items as well. There are three floors so plenty of inventory. read more
