I was delighted I found the Madonna Plaza, a mall with a great assortment of mid-level retail with a mix of moderately priced stores and restaurants. Ulta, Chipotle, Buffalo Wild Wings, REI, DSW, Sprouts, Kohl's, See's Candies, Cost Plus World Market and more. I found everything I needed and was on my way in 40 minutes with takeaway Chipotle for my son.

Technically, this shopping center is probably more on the "strip mall" side as opposed to a real…read moremall, because here you can exercise your patriotic duty as an American by driving from one store to the other (even when they're right next to each other) instead of walking. There is a wide variety of both chain and local stores to choose from, such as a department store (Sears), a supermarket, a big-box bookstore (Borders), a local place called the Crushed Grape, Best Buy, and others. Basically, if you live in San Luis Obispo and need something, but prefer to avoid downtown because of the inconvenience of walking from one end to the other, this is the alternative for those who actually use a car in their daily lives and are not ashamed of it.

Great locations and they add money to your pocketbook with savings. Stop by now it's worth the…read moredrive to beautiful downtown.

Quality/Quantity - Cool spot for the young and hip. You know me... lol…read more We have frequented most of the businesses here. Atmosphere - Amazing amount of history; see website. And if you appreciate it, they have invested so much $$ in keeping as much of that building's history as possible; again, see website. 19+ businesses, 13 of which are restaurants and/or bars. See website, or all my pictures. Very small parking lot, that I always forget to try to park at. I rather park in the free residential areas half a mile away anyways. Plenty of metered street parking. See individual businesses for hours. Too many to write and they all slightly differ. Service - Depends on what you do, eat, or drink. For the most part, good service. See other Yelps. Price - Depends on what you do, eat, or drink. But fairly upscaled and priced accordingly. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1906+. 1975 - 2014 = "Hidden" local marketplace for locals and people in the know. 2019 = What we have today. :)

I would recommend better menu signage and hand held menus would have been appreciated. We ordered the build your own sandwiches. Mine was Turkey and Swiss and avocado on Dutch crunch. My husband got roast beef and cheddar and avocado on a soft baguette. Large portions which provided us with two meals each, a good value. They ran out of sour dough and multi grain breads at noon on a Sunday. ?? Someone needs to plan ahead better. Still, we would recommend and will return.

Passing through town and we eyed the Nordstrom Rack sign while traveling on Highway 101. We decided…read moreto stop since the Hubs needed a belt. We dropped in on a weekday early evening. It was located in a complex with other stores such as Cost Plus. The Nordstrom Rack interior was modern, clean and organized. A lot of square footage too. It had a large inventory. Not sure if this was the norm or just caught them on a good day after restocking. Hubs left empty handed. But not me. I scored. Bought a few Caslon brand tops at bargain prices. And we hopped back onto Highway 101. By the way, the shopping complex is across the street from the iconic Madonna Inn. A

Manager tells me well it's costume jewelry, well no **** Sherlock, but it should last longer than a week. After having to go to bat they advised they would return. Although it was well within the 40 day window they didn't want to because it was worn. Well sorry, you need to stand behind the quality of your product! Be very mindful of their return policy! If they don't stand behind their product and you used your credit card, go right to the credit card company! Horrible value for only lasting a couple wears. If you are looking for cheaper jewelry, TJ Maxx is a much better solution and lasts much longer!

So in the last couple months I've ordered 2 cakes from the bakery. I picked up another one I…read moreordered today. They taste great but the decorating on the cakes is so poor it looks like a drunk oaf decorated them. There should not be cake crumbs mixed with frosting all over the sides. That's amateurish. The designs are very very poorly executed. A real mess. How about some staff training? Update. My adult daughter said the cake also didn't taste right. I thought it was more sugary taste than usual. Maybe missing vanilla flavoring. Idk. It's probably a mix anyway. I'm sure it not made from scratch. May 30, 2026.

I occasionally give up on TJ Maxx, and their clothing selection lately has been kind of lackluster…read more I did manage to find a great pair of fleece lined leggings earlier in the season, but I haven't really come up with any seasonal clothes there lately. I did get a lot more practical and have been finding some wonderful cosmetics fines in the new expanded cosmetics department. Their housewares department is also expanded for Christmas with lots of trendy, new appliances and gift worthy kitchen goods. We were also able to snag a toy model of a Tesla truck. This was a real find since most of the other discount stores don't have many children's toys and toys have gone up in price this year. It's going to be a fun holiday season and going to TJ Maxx and getting good deals. Just makes it all the more fun.

It's a little on the pricey side, but that's because most items are handmade and crafted with detail using vintage objects. I especially loved all the different types of light fixtures.
