I really like Brea Mall. It's spacious, modern, and has a nice layout that's easy to walk around…read more The stores always seem well organized, and whenever I've asked about a particular item, the associates have been friendly and helpful with pointing me in the right direction. I also enjoy the food court area since there are a lot of dining options to choose from, and the whole area is usually kept pretty clean. The only downside for me is parking. This mall is almost always busy, so finding a good parking spot can sometimes take a little patience. Even with that, it's still one of the malls I enjoy visiting when I'm in the area.

They even offer three popular boba tea selections like Chagee, Heytea, and The Alley. It's basically a rich people mall like Valley Fair in San Jose, but has free parking. There weren't a lot of seats for this big mall. They should add more benches to the outdoor grassy area and some shade. It's a really posh mall since their renovation. There's a bus stop located in front of Macy's parking lot, which you can travel around Orange County with the OC Bus and SGV with Foothill Transit. A bit of a five minute walk to the stop, but the buses are convenient.

There are many, many food and restaurant options along with some fabulous shops and even a movie theater. They do a beautiful job with their Christmas season! If you get a chance, check it out.

I love downtown Brea!…read more I just love the area in general. Downtown is pretty nice. There's lots to do in this area. I also appreciate the free parking in the parking structure. Sweet!

They have a big parking structure, that is constantly packed with people. There is a constant flow of people coming in and out. When I come here, I enjoy looking at the Korean snack store that recently just expanded. You can get instant noodles and pay for the hot water so you can eat it there! This store is also a souvenir store. Besides this place, the source has fashion stores, bakeries, coffee, pastries, golf, a kid's play center, and more food! Like malls do, they also have a Photo Booth area. Prices vary per shop, but everything is reasonable. The source is cool because it's where small businesses can advertise themself, and Korean culture can thrive. They have a mini night life here alongside celebrating the love of kpop, cosmetics, skincare, and food! I've heard that this place was always hip and fun, and I'm hoping the current reputation exceeds expectations in the near future with all the changes they've been doing!

From the environs of the corner of Imperial Highway and Beach Boulevard to the environs of the…read morecorner of Imperial Highway and Idaho Street, there are least six (and possibly seven) large strip malls. In today's commercial-real-estate parlance, at least four of those strip malls can be considered power centers. Westridge Plaza lies at the southeast corner of the intersection of Imperial Highway and Beach Boulevard. It's the strip mall in the area that extends the farthest south. It's neither the newest nor the oldest of the strip malls, but it has steadily grown from that random place with a Staples and a Sam's Club to quite the destination for (mostly) big-chain shopping. As its popularity has grown, so has the traffic turning south from Imperial onto Beach and then immediately getting into the first of two left-turn lanes to enter the large parking lot. If you're already headed south on Beach Boulevard, the fastest (though not the most efficient) way to get to Westridge Plaza is to turn left onto Imperial from the second left-turn lane and then immediately right into the easy-to-miss driveway that goes in front of Staples. Do not turn in to the Chevron station. Although it's technically within Westridge Plaza, there is absolutely no access from its apron into the parking lot. As with most strip malls these days, the large anchor stores are farthest from the street, while the smaller stores are located in unconnected buildings dispersed throughout the parking lot. There are quite a few different restaurants. Most of them are chains, but some of them are local small businesses. When you consider all six (or seven) strip malls in the area, there's a surprisingly wide variety of food available even though the vast majority of retail square footage is dedicated to big-box stores. I mainly come here to use Wescom Credit Union's ATMs, but if both of those are occupied (which happens more often than one would think) I can easily use a SchoolsFirst Credit Union ATM in the same building. In fact, that one building also has a (for-profit) bank, so it's ATM central. The driving lanes in the parking lot are needlessly confusing. Because the frontages of the big-box stores run along an angle, they couldn't have maintained a parallel grid for all the parking spots, but their "solution" of aligning each individual building's parking spots with it causes all kinds of problems, as the five or six separate alignments intersect in all kinds of strange configurations, and people drive really fast through the lanes. Especially near the northern end of the parking lot, be very careful that the lane you're using actually allows you easy access to the building you're trying to get to; there are hedges and curbs that makes being physically close to a given building a totally different thing from being "driving close" to that same building. There's enough parking that you'll always find a spot, but it might not be super close to where you're going, especially around the holidays.

The shopping center is great! There are so many big name stores in just one parking lot that you…read moredon't have to drive all over town & can get everything you need in one visit. They have Walmart, Lowe's, Sam's Club, Bed, Bath & Beyond plus dozens of food places to eat and even a Sam's Club gas station. With that being said the parking lot was a nightmare! I was there around 2 o'clock and the parking lot was packed. People are all looking for a (close) parking spot and not really paying attention so it was a bit stressful but once I found a spot I was able to shop in three different stores before having to move my car to another spot. I love the shopping center and will definitely continue shopping there

One of the few remaining malls that's still hopping!…read more A large selection of shops of all types. The main areas are kept pretty clean because they have an ample staff of folk, and their food court has a good selection. The value is in the selection of shops, and there's almost no dead/open spots, every shop is filled - all offering deals this time of year.

First thing's first, I'm glad this mall is SINGLE STORY. I don't have to worry about my fear of…read moreheights and it doesn't feel stuffy because it has HIGH ceilings. However... with a single story comes a TON of walking. Be prepared for that! There's a lot of your standard mall stuff here, so it's not worth mentioning about the department stores, but the mall portion is a fine experience. There are lots of clothing stores and dessert places, and there's a movie theater and some nice restaurants, but I will say there's NOT much to do as a fun activity for families with small kids. Older kids will have some things to do like VR or build-a-bear, but smaller kids will not. Food court is fine, there's some good options and I actually like that it's next to the entrance/exit of the mall so you don't have to be "stuck" in a second story hidden area forcing you to walk by stores while getting out of the mall. Standard mall food court options like Sbarro, it's really just a place to hang out. Again, nothing special, but super clean and open space brings this to an average 3/5 for me.
