There is also a Jimbo's grocery store and several different restaurants. Henry's and Parakeet Cafe are the newer additions to the existing lineup. The Forum hosts community events on major holidays as well as free workout events on the weekends. I recently went to their Art and Walk walkaround event and loved it, there were food samples from the participating restaurants, wine tasting and live music. Overall great vibes and fantastic event. I enjoy coming here for a coffee, shopping or a bite to eat.

There are several fantastic restaurants and a cute coffee shop, Parakeet Coffee on the corner which is great, take my word for it. There's an ice cream shop and a natural food grocery all in the vicinity. Beyond the shopping you'll find some businesses such as a dental office, holistic neurology and orthodontics to name a few. I think it's well laid out, landscaping is nice, parking is also fine.

Workers were very attentive and helpful. Actually had to go back and buy it bc I couldn't stop thinking about it lol Went to the toy store and found rare stuff my son was hunting for so that was a treat. The staff there were also very helpful and gave my son few free sleeves for his one piece cards. The place is very small, very clean and all the stores were organized. It wasn't very packed on a Saturday, it didn't feel that way but the parking was a hot mess. Lol maybe bc they share parking with the flower field. My favorite is the view of the flower field next door. Really is heaven on earth when you see such colors surrounding you.
