I stopped by the Burlington Arcade in Pasadena and loved how easy it was to walk around. The shops offer a nice mix of selection depending on what you are looking for and it is fun to browse without feeling rushed. The service in the stores I stepped into was friendly and low pressure which made the experience even better. Prices felt fair for the area and there is something for different budgets. Everything was clean and the storefronts were inviting. The bright red telephone booth is such a fun prop for pics and definitely adds to the vibe. It is a cute stop if you are already in the area and want something low key and easy. read more

Beautiful shopping center to take you back as if you were in London. It's sad that there aren't too many vendors, but if you want coffee and baked goods, they have it. read more

Burlington Arcade - Shopping Centers Near Me - Pasadena, California

I was visiting friends in SoCal and looked up things to see/do in nearby Pasadena. I read about Burlington Arcade and decided to see how it would compare to other London-inspired arcades I've been to in other countries. I arrived there in the afternoon and it was like a ghost town with only 1 shop open despite the time not yet even any way near 5:00 PM. Despite it being just a small, very short strip with its design, architecture, arches and the red phone booth reminiscent of the other larger London-inspired arcades I've seen in other countries, everything adds value to the charm of the area. The arcade's value lies in its ability to foster community engagement and provide nostalgic, screen-free entertainment for all ages within a vibrant public space. That being said, this little arcade definitely adds a unique value to this side of town! The selection of shops (despite their being closed) were varied. read more

Cute little location to take a few pictures. Soo sad, there could be so much potential but not many stores there at all. Cute little area with very few shops and they all close early. read more

Pasadena's Burlington Arcade was inspired by London's historic Burlington Arcade. It even has an iconic red phone box in the courtyard. The elegant architecture gives this quaint indoor shopping plaza its charm. Beautiful wood-framed curved windows and graceful arches are reminiscent of the historic British malls. The open-air entrances and quaint courtyard in the center makes you feel as if you've been transported to Europe. Inside you'll find clothing boutiques, a coffee shop, a modern soda fountain, a beauty salon, and even a store that sells authentic kimonos. If you appreciate architecture I suggest paying this place a visit. It's a great spot for photo ops, taking a leisurely stroll, shopping, or just grab a sandwich from Float and a coffee from Mandarin and sit in the courtyard and enjoy the ambience. *Free parking lot read more

Burlington Arcade - Cute photo opp, not much more - Shopping Centers Near Me - Pasadena, California

Aesthetically it is awesome, but practically it was a let down. I thought it would offer a little more in terms of shopping. For people looking for a cool shopping area, this isn't it. There is a barber shop, one or two boutiques, and a coffee shop. Not much else. Don't go out of your way to find this place- it is better solely for its architecture. read more

Burlington Arcade is, from what I can tell, a pretty close copy of the Burlington Arcade in London. An outdoor department store...just in the Pasadena version, quite a bit smaller. You can easily walk from one end to the other in a minute. This place has charm to spare, from the architecture, the lights, the red London phone booth. If you are addicted to taking selfies, this is the place for you. There are a number of shops, most of which are rather upscale. A children's boutique clothing store. A kimono shop/hair salon. Two cafés. A tailor. A spa. It's important to note that most of these stores close rather early. The place would be very picturesque if open late, with the hanging lights and all. But it seemed that almost all the stores are closed by 5pm. This is definitely worth a look if you are in the area. Not really worth it as a primary destination, but maybe a side-quest, if you will. read more

I love coming to the coffee shop here, Mandarin coffee for the Vienna latte, but I just love the look of Burlington arcade, it has a London vibe , i also love eating at Nick's a few doors down . There's also a couple of cute little shops, I'll have to try the nail salon that's also in this complex while enjoying my latte. read more

This is a cute little corridor tucked away in Pasadena that's pretty easy to miss. There's about 10 little shops that share this cute space, ranging from cafes, flower shops, nail salons, to clothing stores! Theres a row of small tables in the middle for seating, since most of the stores are pretty small. I saw some people bring their dogs, and others bring their laptops, and others just chatting away. My friend and I came to get coffee from Mandarin Coffee, and it was a cute spot to hang out and catch up! Definitely would recommend bringing someone here if they like cute, aesthetic places! read more

I love this place so much that I could never display it or say it in words. I've been here many times for coffee and tea and shopping. The architecture is absolutely stunning. Every time I come here everyone is happy and smiling. I mean how could you not be, right? There are tons of different businesses within this complex to chose from. Truly, this is how shopping should still be everywhere today. Under a roof, but outside with a little courtyard in the middle. The service is always great at the places I've ate, drank and shopped at. There is tons of selection in all regards. The prices are fair at most of the places I've been to. Go check it out and enjoy it :) read more

Burlington Arcade - Shopping Centers Near Me - Pasadena, California

Burlington Arcade is a cool little shopping area in the heart of Pasadena. It is a very small corridor and easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Once you enter, it feels like you've been transported to London. Architecture inside is beautiful with the wooded framed curved windows, the red telephone box and arches as you walk down the corridor. As I said, the place itself is very small. But there are number of shops that you can look at or buy stuff at and sit and have a boba, coffee maybe or a float eat some food and just take him the atmosphere. They have OinkMoo Boba shop, a Plant & Flower shop, Float is a place for coffee, food, root beer floats, etc. Jellylab for Crystals, gifts, jewelry, Mikko's hair that is connected to a Kimono shop that has beautiful Japanese Kimono's and items inside, Contessa is an Italian foods spot and a number of other places. You can walk through it in a matter of minutes, so don't expect a full day, buf you can take some great pictures, look in all the shops, buy some stuff, get some food and drink, etc. You will have a good time and day taking it all in and feeling like you left Pasadena. They do need a good fish and chips spot here though, it would only be fitting. I should open one. Enjoy! read more

Such a wasted space, aside from a coffee shop and a couple small businesses, this beautiful space is a missed opportunity as the places that are renting here are the wrong kind of places for this kind of space. .

Came because of the social media hype. Cute walk through, but not much to it. Many businesses were closed.

I drove close to 4 hours total to and back to see that it was just a charming walk way with only a few businesses. I got there around 5:30pm and there were only 3 shops open, the plant shop, the nail salon and the Japanese Kimono store. I was disappointed, I tried to make it a fun trip and walked around but to no surprise there was not much around either. read more

Burlington Arcade is absolutely one of the hidden gems of Pasadena if not in all of Southern California. I use to work right across the street and I would come here during my lunch and it feels like you are transported to London. It really does feel like you are in Europe with its beautiful architecture and picturesque lights. Fun fact is that it is inspired by a shopping center in London. Some of the top shops to visit are Float, which is a sandwich/dessert/coffee shop and Contessa Chocolate Collection. There are also a few other interesting mom and pop shops. 5 stars! read more

Walking through here always takes me back to London England. This arcade never seems to be completely full so it must be pretty costly to run a business here. The new boba shop brought us here and it was buzzing with customers but only a few at a time were allowed inside due to the ongoing C19 pandemic. read more

Super cute alley and gem in Pasadena! Enjoyed the little coffee shop and boba shop in the plaza!

Burlington Arcade is a British-inspired plaza with beautiful stores and hanging lights. It's a mini version of the original Burlington Arcade in London. There are boutiques, coffee shops, and a bakery. Small businesses also come by on weekends for pop-ups. This location is super cute and aesthetic, perfect the gram!

It's not that big but there is plenty of shade and I love the architecture, its iron and bronze mixed with onyx.

Came here at 8pm Saturday but unfortunately the shops were closed already. Although I did do some window shopping it seems pretty neat.
