This is a nice shopping area in South Charlotte. There's a variety of food , treats , skin care, Hair care, nail shops and clothing options as well as activities.. I quite enjoy the local events such as 5K races, or vendors that are able to set up near the fountain.. There is plenty of parking in the area. It's clean and a pretty safe area. Happy shopping! read more

It's a great place to shop, it really is, but however The people who shop there and work there didn't make me feel welcome! I didn't get one smile from anyone! I think it has something to do with that AK high school racial incidents! I don't think I'll returning anytime soon! read more

Blakeney is a beautiful outdoor shopping center located in South Charlotte. We enjoyed shopping here on a Sunday afternoon and especially enjoyed the selection of clothing at the unique local boutiques. They offer a variety of shops including Loft, Banana Republic, Soft Surroundings, and more. There are also larger stores across the parking lot including Target, Marshalls, Home Goods, Off Broadway Shoes, etc. The restaurants are mostly fast casual like Shake Shack burgers, Brixx pizza, and Chopt salads. The area is beautiful and the grounds are well-maintained. read more

I've been to Blakeney a few times in the past, but it's been a LONG while since I last visited...and it seems there are now many new additions. Like Soft Surroundings and Lizzard Thicket, two boutiques that I absolutely LOVE!! Noticed many new eateries too, like the Hazelnut Crepes and Shake Shack...not to mention several new Asian restaurants, like Thai 1st, 18 Asian and Sushi Bar, and Open Rice (where I dined prior to my shopping adventure)! Just going through half a dozen boutiques made over 2 hours fly right by! I definitely need to return and conquer more shops and restaurants in this huge suburbian shopping complex. One thing that may help shoppers, especially newbies, is a directory stand...or a map (?) of all the Blakeney shops and restaurants. Or did I miss this?? Everything seemed a bit scattered throughout this area..and it's almost hard to determine where this Blakeney complex start and end. It's also probably a bit difficult to maneuver around, if looking for certain stores. Still, I highly recommend this place, especially for peeps that love to shop! In fact, this may very well be a haven for Shoppaholics in Charlotte and the surrounding areas. It definitely has become one of mine. :) read more

Definitely one of the most massive and frequented shopping centers in the South Charlotte, richy-richville area. They have several large stores including Target, Marshalls/Home Goods, Harris Teeter and Old Navy. You could reasonably outfit yourself and your kitchen with a visit here. I only visit when I need something specific from a store here as I can find most things here a little closer to home. If malls are more your scene, there are lots of such stores here too. Including Banana Republic, Bath and Body Works, Victoria's Secret and, my absolute favorite store name, Lizard Thicket. Whoever came up with that name for a women's clothing store is either really dumb or really next-level genius. See you at the truck stop. There's a greenspace along a line of restaurants to choose from. Open Rice is great. It's a great shame that Poke Bar closed down as I wanted to say they're great too. I recommend picking a nice weather day to come here. Park your car, wear bright colors and plan to walk a lot. It's a bit confusing to drive around here, parking is hard to find, there are a million crosswalks and stop signs, and as another reviewer aptly put it, there's a midlife-crisis momma trying to see if she can fit a whole SUV in your trunk. read more

A Shopaholics shopping mecca, this is the premier shopping area in all of South Charlotte's Ballantyne area. It is an expansive concept center laid out like a small city within a city. Anchors include Target, Harris Teeter, Marshalls and Homegoods. It is peppered with excellent restaurants throughout and includes a good mix of specialty shops. Originally intended to be a walking location for surrounding neighborhoods, it obviously draws from all around. Of course this means parking is scarce during lunch and dinner hours, especially out front within the specialty shops and restaurants. There is a very popular open green area outfront amongst the restaurants that includes a kids' area and outdoor seating. It also includes live entertainment at times. Other than that, the only real drawback is that, prominently displayed out front, is one of the worst McDonald's ever, which is amazing considering the area. I'll cover it its on review. Overall, I find myself here quite frequently as I live a mile or so north of it. I do avoid the Harris Teeter however due to its Pac-Man like maze of a parking lot; otherwise, the shopping area has something for everyone and I highly recommend it (but you're on your own at lunch time and around Christmas.) read more

This shopping plaza is decent when it's not the really busy time of the year, other than the design makes it hard to see more than a few shops at a time. It's layers and layers and between those layers, it's a very narrow driving alley with not much parking. And at lunch time on New Year's Eve Eve (12/30), the place was packed, most spaces were filled and a few people were even double-parking which made it ten times worse. If you're shopping Blakeney, bring a trunk load of patience. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere .The staff and environment is a lot of fun. We look forward to coming back soon read more

I know the hyper local peeps love this shopping center. As you can see from many reviews on here, it's streets are frustratingly complex. I only come here a handful of times each year and unless I'm going to one of the anchor stores, it's very easy to get turned around. They do have a Target, Harris Teeter, and a huge Michael's department store. I don't exactly know how both Target and HT warrant two stores each that are within two miles of each other (Stonecrest) but they both seems very busy most of the time. Along the outer ring of the center you'll find various restaurants such as Brixx, Poké Bar, Chopt, and more. I'm usually here for a quick bite at Chopt but I have found that Poké Bar is incredibly fresh and delicious as well. As far as parking, there are 4-5 'super lots' in front of the major stores and the boutique stores have parking adjacent to the sidewalks. For some reason, I have found driving around this place to be very stressful. Look in your rear-view mirror at any given time to find a soccer mom in a Land Rover impossibly close to your bumper because you're not going 45mph over the speed bump. Neogeoating crosswalks here is also dangerous, people seem very entitled here, must be overcompensating for something... It's more of a place you come to for a reason, instead of on impulse. The grounds are well kept and the shops are more upscale than your average shopping center, I only wish it was easier to get around here. The unique shops and commendable restaurants are what keep a North Charlottean coming back. The places I do frequent are definitely worth the trouble! read more

I love this mall. I do get the negative reviews about driving and parking. It can be difficult. People often walk out in front of you and crosswalks aren't always obvious. There's no parking lot in that sense, just a bunch of spaces. It can be hard to find a space on a busy day. That being said it's still my favorite mall. The bath and body works here is great, and has the best employees. So much better than the small cramped Pineville mall one. There are plenty of places to eat. The Greek place has an awesome falafel, and shake shack is king of chicken sandwiches. If you have kids this place is even better. A full size playground and a splash pad. There is outdoor seating to eat while you're kids play too. read more

Love shopping here but WISH people would SLOW down for elderly, people with DISABILITIES and people who can't hear...ETC...people who walks in this shopping center to exercise.... people with health problems that can't be seen!! You aren't entitled to run them over!! This is an awesome place to shop but most of the time people would SPEED in the 5 mph parking lot and EXPECTS you to walk fast when you are trying to cross the road. They will speed past by you when you are half way to the parking lot. Nice fancy cars don't mean anything when you don't stop for other people! read more

Blakeney shopping center: an effigy to the Ballantyne Woman, the Charlotte Woman, the young girl or even the austere Antebellum. If you find yourself male or something close to it, you need not venture out if not by the tail of your coat, dragged there like a dog--a rescue--by that I don't mean a valiant heroic dog--no, I am talking the really sad ones, the ones that really annoying girl posts on Facebook all the time whether you like it or not--even though she never actually adopts them or plans to. That is what we are, unimportant little pets, cute little luggage for our women to tote around and poke when it tickles their fancy. There is a men's store I've only ever been to under the influence of a woman--my master--and do not wish to return to. There is Target, where even a man can stand under the air conditioning vents, smell the sweet, balmy scent of Target-brand-original-pheromones seeping through the louver and find himself inextricably tempted to buy something--anything. Perhaps a shirt or a shirt, or perhaps a shirt; heaven knows there is nowhere else in Blakeney Shopping Center to go unless you want to dress yourself like your master is already doing so. Sad creatures we are here. We work through the week only to be victims to the Yonic Empire that is Blakeney Shopping Center. What can be done? We could want things, things for us...I want an actual sports bar. I don't want scented candles or fucking nautical women's wear. I want a BAR! Not a bar with a winsome young man bartending, dressed in black that goes by milf-lover91@yahoo.com as his match.com login. Even the one sports store in there is for cycling and running--why? I mean yea they have great shoes and really good customer service but how about selling a bow and arrow or even a something with a motor. I would even take a part city--I could at least string myself up with the party beads. Hell bring back video stores; it would be nice to be able to pick from a selection of more than twenty-movies. All I can say is thank goodness for their weekly concerts of aging codgers that would rather be playing jam band music but are forced to compromise to play for housewives and our daughters who really need to consider wearing clothing a little more often. I don't want to look over and see your ten-year olds ass hanging out. When my daughter gets to that age, I just hope she wears pants or my wife just puts me down beforehand, which will probably be because I got off my leash and scared a group of women just trying purchase women's nautical wear. read more

Blakeney offers a little of everything- you can get your essentials from Target, groceries, dinner (I love 131 Main), fashion from high end to bargain as well as specialty stuff. My faves? I get triathlon stuff from Try Sports, paper from Swoozies, and shoes from 72 Shoe Boutique. I always have luck shopping here and the Banana Republic store isn't overly packed and is pleasant to shop in. read more

Honestly great shopping center. Harris Teeter, Target, 131 Main, Five Guys, Old Navy etc.. they have a water spray park / fountain for kids. Plenty of parking and stores. As you can see tons of restaurants too. read more

I'm definitely a fan of this shopping center! It's easy to find, there's tons of parking (granted the spots are hard to find) and plenty of places to eat and shop! I had passed this shopping center several times but it wasn't until I went to try Greco Fresh Grill (Mmmm...you MUST try) that I really saw how large this place is and how much shopping there is to do! They have several big name stores like Target, Bath and Body Works, Home Goods, Old Navy and Banana Republic. And speciality stores catering to all needs shoes, purses, sunglasses you name it it's in here. And then if you get hungry...no worries this place is packed with anything your heart desires...From Greek to burgers and fries it's here! I saw Harris Teeter, McDonalds, 131Main, Five Guys, TCBY and Cold Stone...and there's cupcakes and Mexican across the street if that wasn't enough for you! And...the good news just keeps coming because they are building a Chick fil A!!! If you haven't stopped by you are missing out! read more

Blakeney is A-OK in my book. I don't tend to find myself on this side of town often, but when I do, there are a few go-tos that I tend to enjoy. The Starbucks will do in a pinch for some free wifi, a quick meeting, and less than passable coffee products. The restaurant scene isn't the best, but Brixx and Zoe's tops my list for an easy lunch. My biggest qualm with the whole shopping center is getting back out onto Rea Rd. Specifically, turning left. Forget about it. Seriously. You'd be better off just leaving your car for dead. It's near impossible. The worst thing is being behind a not-so aggressive driver and being stuck. Not sure if it counts, but across the street is Newk's. Great stuff. read more

I love the stores at Blakeney but they have a big cockroach problem. I've seen them in 2 restaurants I've been to recently.. and it seems like the workers are used to them because no one seems too concerned. read more

Very beautiful shopping complex, beautiful sidewalks and appeals to just about everyone... well I end up walking the dog most of the time while wife checks out the stores around. There's also a small park there, so kid friendly as well. read more

Love blakeney, great stores great environment. They could benefit from a bar. But I hear target will sell wine soon so that'll be nice.

I love that I'm walking distance to Blakeney Shopping Center, but even if I moved out of South Charlotte I don't think I could stay away long. Every day essentials are covered with Target, Harris Teeter, and CVS. Fashionistas will love Bevello, 72 shoe boutique, denim affair, Loft, White House Black Market, Victoria's Secret, Banana Republic and more. Hungry after all that shopping? There's 131 Main, Encore, Brixx, Thai Basil and other yummy stops to refuel before heading to the nail salon for mani/pedis. Sounds like a perfect day to me! read more

We've been gone a long time and all I can say is "It's good to be Home." The food, shopping, music, and even the chane to take a seat and watch the world go by. read more

Every other store in this shopping center would get a 4 or 5 star. The one that lowered it to 3 stars is McDonald's. I had really bad experience from them. They lied about the free coffee thing a long time ago to limit to 1 person in a group instead of each person in a group. At 6 pm or later, there are few customers and it still takes forever to receive my order. Monopoly event where I wanted 2 game pieces from a big mac, they put the big mac in a box that doesn't give game pieces. Iced coffees were not filled up to the top, they leave a whole inch of space open. Large fries were also not filled up to the top sometime, they would give half full almost like they were medium fries. I asked for a water and they charged me for it for a bottle water one time at a drive thru. Ketchup cups are almost never available. Overall, their service is not that good. read more

Great shopping . You go there for Target and Home Goods but check out the many others including J Jill , Talbots, Off Broadway Shoes , Victoria Secret, Old navy , Bath and Body also there . Plenty to eat there from McCalisters , Five Guys , Greco Fresh , Starbucks, and great sit down restaurant 131 Main . read more

Stores are the standard American big block but this shopping plaza of sorts is a mini oasis. Affluent educated and fairly mixed ethnic crowd. We take the kids there one night per weekend from April through Sept for live music in the park and share a bottle of wine with friends while they play on the playground or out in the grass. Good times! read more

This was the worst shopping experience I have had in a long time. The cashier had no idea what she was doing and all she kept saying "oh just another day in Victoria Secrets" every time she made a mistake. It's Holiday time and one cashier??? Finally I asked for a manager and I had to wait 7 minutes by the time she came, she proceeded to help me but couldn't understand why a receipt would not print ( hello no paper). 45 minutes later to check out without an acknowledgement of we will be right with you or even look up. What's wrong with good customer service anymore... ugh SMH read more

Nice little shopping area, it is more upscale places. With some eating areas. Good place to walk around

Most of the shops here are ok but the Bath and Body Works is terrible. The sales associates are incredibly rude. I've been there many times and each time I hope it gets better but it doesn't. I was just there yesterday and once again another sales associate was rude. I will not return. Will go to Bath and Body Works in Arboreteum. read more

Convenient with lots of shopping and a good mix of stores. Only criticism is that parking near the restaurants in the SE corner is woefully inadequate. Also, thank CDOT for totally screwed up ingress/egress from both here or Blakeney Crossing across the street. There is only one option to turn left/North from Blakeney and NO option to turn South from Blakeney Crossing. read more

we really like to go there at night during summer time. but this summer we haven't been there because is infected of cockroaches. they are every where at the park specially around the fountain. read more
