This is one of my favorite outdoor malls in the Orange County area for mall walking. As it is…read morelocated near the beach, the weather is always nice and there are plenty of places to sit and rest your feet at this mall with a nice view of the beach. The mall does tend towards high end stores with a small smattering of standard stores but in general, there are a wide variety of stores. Plenty of dining options from high end or quick casual. You can even do your grocery shopping here as there is a Whole Foods market. They occasionally have special events. I happened to be here during the Lunar New Year event so one of the areas was decked out with Year of the Horse decorations. I also always walk by the Koi pond to see how the fishes are doing. Staff has always been friendly and helpful when I visit.

Fashion Island is in a great location and the property itself is really big and nice to walk…read morearound, but the actual retail selection leaves a lot to be desired. The Shopping & Entertainment: The Stores: Most of the shops just aren't stores that everyday consumers actually want. It's mostly filled with weird, random boutique stores that no one has ever heard of, charging ridiculous prices like $300 for a single t-shirt. No Movie Theater: For a mall of this size, it's pretty disappointing that they don't even have a movie theater to catch a film. The Silver Lining: Parking: The only consistently good thing about this mall is the parking situation. No matter when you visit, there always seems to be plenty of parking available. Final Verdict: It's a beautiful outdoor space to stroll through, but as a practical place to shop or find entertainment, it's just not the best.

My favorite is the swiss chocolate store and the Le Shrimp Noodles House. It's pricey but worth it! Come check it out and bring your whole family and enjoy the trotting and photo shooting while windows shopping, you might find something when you least expected . It has a Carrousel on the first floor for kids to ride for a fee. Parking is usually available at different sides of the Mall.

South Coast Plaza has redeemed itself form the hideous Christmas Tree they had a few years ago…read more It's still one of the nicest indoor malls in Southern California, and on a hot day, it's a nice reprise from the heat. It's rare for a mall these to not have empty store fronts. While South Coast Plaza has a lot of "coming soon" store fronts, the store fronts that say "Some special coming soon" are very rare, and are mostly in the Macy's Home Store Wing, but even that is almost full. The one thing I had to put on the review is that South Coast Plaza has the nicest restrooms! They're almost high-end resort level. They are well kept and very clean. The garage for paper towels can sometimes overflow, but that's super minor. I don't use it, but they have a really nice family lounge as well.

Nice little shopping center with a wide variety of stores…read more I'm not usually shopping for furniture so I grab lunch at the indoor food court. I used to visit SOCO for the waffle store on the corner or the Shucks Oyster bar. Now the chocolate or red velvet cupcakes from Susiecakes draw me in. Portola Coffee is still the longstanding purveyor of fine caffeinated drinks. We Olive bar has a bevy of beverages. Palm and Patties burgers is a favorite of my foodie coworkers and me. Then we frequent Sunright, the boba tea shop.

Comin' in RED HOT!! The Five Points Plaza in Huntington Beach has a bunch of eateries and stores…read morefor your shopping convenience! It's located on the very busy Main Street with a huge parking lot. I like that the parking stalls aren't super narrow. Even if you drive a bigger vehicle such as a truck or SUV, you should be able to slide right in without a problem. I came out on a Friday with the manager of my gym, Red Effect in Temecula. We came to check on the progress of our Huntington Beach location, here at the Five Points Plaza. Ladies of Orange County, get pumped!! This is going to be a game changer when it comes to fruition! Drywall is up and it's looking really good inside. Since RE Huntington Beach doesn't have their Yelp page up yet, I had to upload my pics here instead. Red Effect will be a fantastic addition to the community and this plaza is the perfect spot for it. Pre-sales are currently going on, so jump in for the best rates! Follow along on IG to see when they announce their grand opening: @redeffect_huntingtonbeach While at the plaza, we had lunch at Java Bakery Café, window shopped at Gap, and got a sweet treat at Duck Donuts. Before we left, we hit up the boba place, R&B Tea (because helloooo... I can't pass up a boba shop I haven't tried before plus I can take it off my bookmark list)! There's even a Bath & Body Works here! Highly recommend this establishment for the eater/shopper in you. We'll be back again soon!! Til then, toodaloo!!

Great big plaza with tons of parking. The first time I came here was to have my 3 little ones try a swim class at Big Blue. It was a wonderful experience that all 3 of them enjoyed and the facility was clean and very welcoming! I have also come here for Trader Joe's grocery shopping numerous times and love this location! Just recently, I tried a Pilates reformer class at the new studio Coeur, and also fell in love with the studio! Again, very clean and welcoming! I still have yet to check out all the other exciting stores and studios here! :)

My sister and I decided to stop by The LAB Anti-Mall while exploring Orange County. This place is…read moresuch a fun and unique spot, especially if you enjoy shopping, art, and discovering local businesses. The whole area has a cool, laid back vibe that feels different from your typical shopping center. There are lots of unique shops to browse, along with great food and drink options like Seabirds, Stella Jean's, and other local favorites. Since it's an outdoor shopping center, we got to enjoy the beautiful California sunshine while walking around. One of my favorite parts was all of the art installations scattered throughout the property. They add so much character to the space and make it feel creative and fun. Plus, there are plenty of Instagram worthy spots if you love taking photos. We spent some time checking out the different shops and ended up stopping by Blends. The service there was excellent. The staff was friendly, helpful, and took the time to answer my questions without making me feel pressured to buy anything. I ended up finding a pair of Asics sneakers that I absolutely loved. The pricing was also surprisingly good, which made the purchase even better. Whether you're hanging out with friends, looking for unique stores, or exploring Orange County for the day, it's definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back!

Review #962 2026-028…read more With the upcoming 3-day weekend, I needed something to keep my 10 YO occupied besides the screen & found the Bella Terra Kids Club: Valentine's Day Sweet Stroll on Eventbrite. It's a fun 90-min. walk through the open air mall with activities such as arts & craft, storytime, etc. Upon arrival, I was worried about finding The Green to check-in with less than 10-mins. before the event kick-off, but we saw this long time of parents with children & just followed along. We shuffled along for about 20-mins. until we were scanned in, picked up a cute pink Bella Terra tote & a map of all the participating businesses. There were 36, of which we were able to collect sweet treats from 30. It was barely 15-mins. in & Dog Haus was already out. Maybe because they were near the epicenter? But others like its neighbor, Pinot's Palette, Princess Bride Diamonds, Philz Coffee, still had goodies in their bowls. The furthest trek was out to Fogo de Chão, Luna Grill, Snooze, an A.M. Eatery. M got hungry mid-stroll & I was fortunate enough to find a TGTG surprise bag at Nekter Juice Bar (refer to Review #963) for a quick pit stop. Most of the children participants look to be toddlers or in daycare, I didn't see too many older kids like mine. If we didn't have that rest break, I think we could have finished the stroll by 12:30 PM; he was there for the goodies, not the activities. We went over by 30-mins. & was still lucky to receive a sweet treat from the remaining participants, & received a l'il extra from some since the event was over. Whoohoo! M missed out from Buffalo Wild Wings, Dog Haus (ran out after 15-mins.), Flecha, Golf Bar (doesn't seem like they were open), Kabuki, Tutu School. When M walked out of Tutu School, Nightingale (refer to Review #961), American & Thai fusion cafe, wasn't on the Sweets Stroll map, but we were invited in for their complimentary sweets... a beautiful spread of cookies, mini muffins & donuts, Ferocher chocolates. It's my kinda eats; with such hospitality, I definitely plan to come back with the fam for brunch/lunch! Since I parked near Barnes & Nobles (refer to Review #964), we closed out the afternoon with a couple of bargain books (got the 2nd one at 50% off) at the B&N, Jr. section. Most mall kids club hold events during the week & the Sweets Stroll was on a Monday, & our school district happens to be off. I think I've taken my kids once or twice to these events when they were toddlers, but they were modest in comparison to Sweets Stroll's scale/grandness: business participants, goodies, & activities. Since I'm not a regular & I don't have much to compare with, I can totally be wrong about these kids club events. My son came home with a bagful of treats, & I discovered a few places that I'm looking forward to dine at. The Huntington Center originally had 4 2-story anchor stores: Barker Brothers (furniture store), JCPenney (department store with auto service center), Montgomery Ward (department store with auto service center), & The Broadway (converted to Macy's); I've been here a few times when I was studying at CSULB. Since 2006, Bella Terra opened as a lifestyle center that's anchored by Barnes & Noble, Cinemark Theaters, Costco, Kohl's, & Whole Foods. The mall's architecture is Tuscan-/Mediterranean-inspired with beautiful archways & structures, & fountains in the village-like complex. It's been a couple of decades since I've been here so I'm looking at them with fresh eyes. Thank you so much Bella Terra for entertaining my kid! I'm definitely looking forward to returning in the near future... particularly to dine here!

The place is kept clean and tidy, and the parking structure usually has plenty of room. They really upped the ante with a Costco on premise. I find myself here a bit more as of late, the real bargain is the lack of frustration at this place vs. other malls - the prices are fine, but the savings is my anxiety. ;)
