One side of the Bay Terrace Shopping Center is being reconstructed. Applebees, Victoria Secret & Abercrombie are gone & a new building is coming up in its site. The poster with new rendering looks like an improvement. They closed off part of the parking lot and they're having a Halloween fair. Children in costume walked past lots of cars that had their trunks opened. Each car had a different theme with costume volunteers to match. Little league, police department, scouts, community Association... All have a presence here this morning. read more

Bay Terrace holds so many precious memories from my middle school days. Peter Pan, which used to be the arcade located on the top tier, was our go-to spot. My friends and I spent countless hours and weekends in the plaza. What sets Bay Terrace apart is its accessibility--everything from Barnes and Noble to the grocery store, movie theater, restaurants, and the bank is within reach. You're guaranteed a delightful time here for a hangout with your friends. read more

Bay Terrace is one big missed opportunity to really bring in some entertainment. Kids are seen walking around Bay Terrace all the time. They even hold events in the Bay Terrace from time to time, despite having a few restaurants and clothes stores, they have plenty of space for some form of entertainment. The AMC is the only form of entertainment there, some more options can really liven up the place. Similar to an arcade or some form of Game Center besides the little demo Nintendo Switch at the GameStop can really bring in a new audience to the Bay Terrace. However, that could just be my own problem. read more

Been coming here for years as a teenage to adulthood. They got all my favorite stores American Eagle, GAP, Loft, Bath and Body works, and they finally opened Aerosoles this year which is one of my favorite shoe brands. Finally they utilize the space next to the movie theater. I used to frequent Tony Roma's for lunch or dinner. Lots of parking lots in the upper level as the lower level of the shopping center. read more

Giving it a three star rating for the first visit. Two of the stores here like Loft and Aerosole- Horrible experience and zero customer service. Have not been to the other stores yet. One good thing is that drivers allow pedestrian to cross the walk way. They definitely not going to plow you down here. Drivers stop and let you pass. Whew! A good sign. Nice there is a movie an AMC movie theater and several restaurants to select from. Nothing really in particular stand out here. It's just an outdoor strip mall. Basic necessities are met here. read more

Yesss since my move to the area, I noticed so many places are tight and are limited with parking or I would need to pay for parking. Simple joys, but feels so good to go to a place just down the street from my house and with lots of space! There are only a few limited shops that I would go to here, but it was a pleasant change from the crowds I was used to seeing. read more

This is what I call a peaceful shopping center! A less crowded mini outlet to be exact. There are various stores, such as American Eagle, Gap, Express, Aldo, and etc. Therefore, you can easily get all your shopping done in one area. I enjoy coming here to shop leisurely and especially during holiday seasons! There are also various food venues, such as Panera Bread, Outback Steakhouse, Boston Market, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, along with a Lowes/AMC movie theater for entertainment. I always come here just for Panera Bread - - - so addicted!!! Note: Means of transportation can be quite tricky. I think besides for driving, you can try taking the MTA bus. But driving is highly recommended to save travel time! Highlight: FREE PARKING! According to http://www.bayterrace.com/about.html, Bay Terrace is "a special place to meet with family and friends, to have some fun, share a moment, and experience the best that The Bay Terrace Shopping Center has to offer." I totally agree~! read more

I am a long time resident of Bayside and was always impressed with a large parking lot at Bay Terrace. All of the supermarket shopping carts were always in place in the caddy's. Since Home Goods opened my car has been hit 3 times by stray carts. I went to the Chase Bank after hours and found 10 Home Goods shopping carts in the front of the Bank. What a pity! read more

I like this shopping center. It has everything I may need for a quick mall drive-by. From Victoria Secret to Express.. and a market, it's a great place. I am from cali and they have many outdoor shopping centers, but this one beats some here. The ONLY THING THAT BOTHERS ME is that they NEED SOME PUBLIC RESTROOMS! Ahh! read more

I rarely come here. It's right by my school, Queensborough Community College, so I come here to shop a little, or grab some food. This plaza has a good amount of shopping stores ( Lane Bryant, VS, etc.) , but I usually just come here for the restaurants. (Panera Bread, Applebees, Outback Steakhouse) For those of you who know me, I'm a huge Panera Bread lover. So thats usually the only reason why I would be in this plaza. The parking lot is always so full for some strange reason. If your lucky, you will get parking near the store your going to. Other than that, good luck. I came here today at 12 noon, and the parking lot was basically full. I would never understand why. The parking lot is really big, so don't worry you will find parking, but be expected to walk a bit. Overall, I will always come back here. There are no complaints. read more

Huge strip-mall (shopping plaza) shopping center in Bayside. There is not a lot in this area of Queens. Security in a tower is watching so it safe appears adaquate. Parking does require a bit of hurting on weekends. Parking spots are narrow and some people can't really park straight. The place is kept very clean and it is easy to visit all the stores without moving the car. Two big chained restaurants: Applebee & Outback A large multiplex Loewe theater Bens Kosher deli and pizza & pasta shop is here. Penty of fashion store for everyone. Some key stores I like: A big Waldbaum supermarket Barnes & Noble Corelle/corningware Tip: not a lot of food choices. There are two entrance & exit. read more

I've been coming here for years and years and I just keep going back for some reason. They have a nice Barnes and Noble, have a couple of nice places to eat, and they have the Gap, Express or Foot Locker if you feel like shopping. Plenty of parking space also. And if you get bored, you can go right to Bell Boulevard where they have tons of other places to eat. read more

I wish they had more better stores at this shopping center but it'll do. There's a Panera, chase bank, grocery store, VS, BBW, Yankee candles!! Etc.. Just watch out for the bad drivers and for bad parkers. Hey, why not just grab a chair and sit down. You can watch people try and park. Just kidding! But seriously, watch out for bad drivers. One star deduction for this. Sorry, Bay terrace! This place is pretty nice and really saves your butt when you need to buy a last minute gift ASAP! Oh... And I'm really hoping that they're not closing down the Barnes and noble.. read more

I've been d to enjoy quite a few times and used to enjoy the Barnes & Noble there, but unfortunately it closed. I've also been to the AMC theater here and it's pretty good, but a little smaller compared to the location in Fresh Meadows. I frequent the Panera and Five Guys here when I'm in the area with my fiance or friends. I've been to some of the stores here and they're not that great because it always feels they have limited inventory especially inside Gap and Bath & Body Works. This isn't a place I would typically like to shop at unless it's for something simple or I need to pick up a simple gift. There's a lot of parking available, but it can get pretty crazy during the holiday season. I love the convenience and that they almost every and any store an average person would need to go to. read more

Good Service. I always order Egg Benedict, good portion, worth to try. There is not a lot of restaurant has Egg Benedict in the menu. Even we come with big party, we've been seated right away. read more

Clean shopping center with plenty of free parking. Whether you're shopping for groceries at Waldbaums, or movies from FYE, or Games from Gamestop, or Books at Barnes & Noble, or Candles at Yankee Candles they have stores to keep everyone busy. And they also have a handful of restaurants, including a Five Guys.. These guys are popping up everywhere these days. But I do find myself bored after about an hour here. read more

I love loft and Sephora! Both places have people that help you out as well as let you in to what is new and we'll designed!!

This is for the Bay Terrace Victoria's Secret. There is never not a line here. However, sales help is nice and it is rather convenient. They let you know what sales are on and when you are in the fitting room, they run around getting your stuff so you don't have to keep getting dressed and undressed and they measure you for a proper fitting. read more

Great shopping center located not too far from my job. There's a good balance of restaurants and stores. You could spend hours shopping here going through all of the levels that this plaza offers. The parking lot is huge and is almost always packed. Parking is free which is great if you decide to drive over. read more

All things considered The Bay Terrace Shopping Center is a decent place to go shopping. There's a variety of stores including gift shops, clothing, baby gear, books, and a supermarket. In addition there's several places to eat including Outback, Panera, Boston Market and a few others. That's pretty much all you can ask for from an oversized strip mall. The parking lot is huge and I've never had an issue finding a spot here. Since it's a strip mall you may have to do a bit of walking from store to store but I don't mind the excersise. I also finally checked out the movie theater here. I wasn't impressed with it but I will likely still come back every so often for Barnes & Noble, Baby Gap, Gamestop, and Victoria's Secret. read more

There are quite a few stores in Bay Terrace. Off the top of my head, here's a short list. - Men's Warehouse - GameStop - Foot Locker - American Eagle - Gap - Express - Applebee's - Five Guys - Panera Bread - Aldo Shoes They can definitely improve and add better name brand stores to this shopping center. Don't expect any high end stores here. It's just a nice small shopping center for the locals here. Verdict - If you're from the area or live close by, check it out and kill some time if you're bored. If not, don't go out of your way for Bay Terrace. I'm sure there are other shopping centers near your neighborhood that are similar to Bay Terrace. read more

pretty much your generic big name brand shopping center. I took my parents here because Corelle/Corningware have an outlet store and my mother had picked out some stuff there she wanted. tons of parking, though most of it is in the giant lot. be smart and park in the garage building - your car will stay cool, plus it's out of the way so there is plenty of parking there. more importantly, this place has FREE parking - gotta love that! especially when the other big shopping centers in Queens rip you off with parking. all sorts of big name stores, plus a Waldbaum's and a movie theater. a pizzeria and a small Jewish deli seem to be the only non-chain stores here. I've never eaten at any place here though. Bayside is a bit out of the way if you don't have a car, but if you have a car and need to get shopping done, this outdoor mall pretty much has whatever you'll need. read more

Bay Terrace Shopping Center holds a lot of memories for me dating back to when I was in middle school. Back then, there weren't that many stores. Barnes & Nobles was the place to loiter, study for the SATs without buying the books, and just a place to cry about how hard school was with your friends. I think it's upgraded a lot since then. I am in love with Aldo, and the movie theatre here is decent. Five guys is here too. Yummy (: Now it has stores like Victoria's Secret, FYE music stor, American Eagle, Aeropostale, Bath & Body, Steve Madden, Claires, Foot locker, TOFU restaurant, Express, Aldo, GAP, B&N, Ann Taylor Loft, Outback, Applebees, and a couple of other places. Tony Roma on the top deck with Five guys, a postal office, that arcade, a diner, etc. At least there's more stuff to do here than in Flushing now. read more

This IHOP is high school musical summer job edition. No direction or adult supervision in site. The servers are adults thank goodness but watching 4 teens behind the register while waiting for a table is a little disconcerting. Leaving a review before even getting my food. Where is the manager? read more

Bay Terrace is one of my favorite shopping centers. Free parking is available in their huge parking lot. There are many great stores in here such as Victoria's Secret, Bath & Body Works, Gap, American Eagle, GameStop, Barnes & Noble and more. They also have a couple of restaurants, such as a diner, a pizzaria and Tony Roma's. They also have a movie theater. This mall is easily accessible by bus (Q13 and Q28). read more

I live in Baybridge and use this shopping center at least weekly, sometimes more. But WARNING, here's something new...if you have any outstanding violations on your car...please think twice before parking in their lot. Today, the tow truck that works for the shopping center, that usually just tow people who illegally park in handicap spots, have started towing for the marshall. Today, shortly after leaving the house to go to College Point, we noticed the Marshall and a DOT tow truck dropping off a car (where they had already "parked" about 20 others in a pull-over area at the bottom of the Throgs Neck, Queens side, where you can get on the Clearview South.) Usually you see flower stands, or sometimes furniture sold out if the back of a truck, sometimes holiday decorations...well, today it was all cars that had been picked up and booted. We thought they were trolling the area neighborhoods, we've seen that before. However it did seem odd that it was so many cars, it was like really? Why so many? But then, on our way back home we decided to go see a movie, took our short cut turning in by the library, took a right into the back lot, and then followed the road BEHIND Waldbaums to get to the theatre lot, here WE SAW the switch from the hired shooping center tow truck to the marshall. What a f@$&ed up way to do business--and of course they know it or they wouldnt have been hiding behind the grocery store. They were getting the cars, towing them behind Waldbaums to meet the marshall, then the marshall was taking them to this pull-over spot to wait, then going back for more...so be warned. Go online, check your plate just in case a ticket slipped your mind...make sure its clean. With their success today, its a safe bet that they'll keep doing this. read more

Oh Bay Terrace... I remember being 13 and always wanting to come here because its what all the cool 13-year-olds did. (What else could we do but hang out at Bay Terrace?). Now, the teens that come here are just annoying. You're not cool! Stop trying so hard! But anywho, now that I'm done with my mini-rant... its a nice place. Not the first place I consider going to (anymore) but every now and then, when I need to make a quick stop at Barnes and Nobles or Victoria's Secret or f.y.e., it's the place (10 min drive). Plus the movie theatre is there too. read more

Been to the Bay Terrace Shopping Center ever since a teenager. Great place to go shopping. There's a variety of stores like Men's Warehouse, Express, Victoria's Secret, Loft, Lane Bryant, Barnes & Nobles, & more! There's also places to eat here like Boston Market, Outback Steakhouse, Tony Roma's , Applebees, & more! If you need to do some grocery shopping, you can check out Waldbaums here or if you want to go see a movie, there is a Loews theater here. Huge parking lot! You will always find a spot here. We've never had an issue of finding a parking spot here. Definitely worth stopping by! read more

WIth the exception of narrow parking spots this is a pretty good strip-mall types facility. HIghlights are Gap, Barnes and Noble, Waldbaums supermarket, and movie theatre read more

Bay Terrace has always been a staple in Northern Queens. This shopping center has always had whatever you need or are looking for. Unfortunately, some easy stores have closed in past years such as FYE and most recently Barnes and Nobles. The shopping center always seemed like a safe place to go to hang out for high school kids and preteens especially since they are able to grab a bite to eat in Applebee's and go right to the movies. Rumor has it that a Home Goods is even coming to the center! The new Stop and Shop is my favorite supermarket in the area and other stores like the Gap, Express, the Loft and New York & company are great to have close by as opposed to having to trek out to central Queens or Long Island. However, steer clear during holiday seasons at prime time--the parking lot can be a zoo! read more

I wasted so much time here as a teenager, especially in the Barnes and Nobles, but the truth is now that I don't have a ton of time to waste wandering around doing nothing I rarely come here unless it's for something specific. Bay Terrace is an outdoor strip mall with a very limited selection of stores to choose from, most of them belonging to major chains. There is ample parking, either in the garage or in front of the stores themselves, and it's free. The Q13 or the Q28 go there, though if you're coming from Main St. it's a long ride. The Outback here is great, though at peak times the wait can be a bit long (sometimes as high as 45-60 minutes). Tony Romas is also here, though I would literally only go for the ribs. There's an Applebees which you can just skip altogether. There's Ben's Deli, a Jewish deli that's been there forever with good matzoh ball soup. The diner on the upper level has gone through various name changes but has never been any good. There's also a Five Guys, a Panera Bread, and a mediocre pizza place. As for clothes shopping the choices are somewhat limited and things tend to be priced higher then they should be. Express, NY&Co, American Eagle Outfitters, Mens Warehouse, The Gap, Lane Bryant, The Loft, Chicos, Victoria's Secret, The Children's Place, Aldo, Steve Madden, and Claires- if you count that. They're definitely catering to the clientele in the neighborhood, and that makes sense, but if that's not your thing don't come out of your way to shop here, obviously. It's not a bad place to get some errands done though. They have a Daune Reade and a clean Waldbaums with a nice selection. There's a liquor store, a few banks, and a kitchen supply store. There's also a movie theater and one of the last remaining video arcades in NY: Peter Pan Games. Even though this isn't really a "mall mall", it's indispensable to the area. It's also kept clean and tends not to get overcrowded, which can make for some rare stress free shopping. read more

This place has only improved over the years. It's convenient, has interesting stores, and even a movie theater! If you're new to the area, I recommend visiting Jack's Pizza & Pasta, =). read more

I have been utilizing this strip mall (or rather, enclosed circle of shopping, as it isn't a strip) as a hangout, dining establishment, and occasional destination spot for many years, and I still think it holds a bit of charm. My favorite store is Barnes & Noble, and it is a nicely-sized one. I remember eating at Applebee's with my family (I hate the food but admittedly the atmosphere is ideal for groups and parties) and then always stopping by B&N for a quick look at the endless rows of books. Outback Steakhouse was another restaurant that provided pre-reading satiety. For easier eats with friends, Baskin Robbins and Boston Market were always a treat, as was the pizza place across the way. Nowadays though, I would recommend that each and every one of you go to the Waldbaum's there; it's tremendous, well-stocked, and great fun when you enjoy grocery shopping as much as I do. For actual clothes shopping, Express, Gap, Victoria's Secret, and various others provided pretty good variety, though I always wished they had a boutique or two that was less mainstream. No matter, I always preferred Coconuts (now FYE) for all of my shopping needs. A Yankee Candle and chocolate shop provide options for the tender old woman in all of us, and the movie theatre is something that has been a mainstay in my and many other people's lives. I say go here for a bit; just ignore the junior high kids. read more

not bad for a strip mall in queens... a good variety of shops - even a movie theater that offers matinee everyday! I love that it has an Applebee's... hehe, my one guilty pleasure (I am resistant to ALL other chain restaurants, i promise!) what's so wrong with eatin' good in the neighborhood, anyway? : ) read more

Nice sized shopping center. Small, but has a good selection of stores and food joints including applebees, panera bread, and outback steakhouse. The thing thats great about bay terrace is that there is also a supermarket -Waldaums. You can go shopping for clothes, pull money from Chase if you spent too much, grab a bite to eat, see a movie, and go food shopping all in the same complex!! Parking is free for the shopping center but not the movie theater parking lot which is in the same complex, but kinda of behind-- ??hmmmmm?? go figure!! Bay terrace is very accessible...about 2 minutes away from the cross island parkway, and very convenient! read more

The shops chg as the years go by. They try to keep up with what the community wants. VS fo course tops the list, BAth and Body, NY Co, B&N. Having a bunch of decent eateries is a nice touch too. Applebees, Outbacks, Tony Roma;s. No to mention the pizza joint and Panera and Ben's..... To top it off you can get groceries on the way home! read more

Ohhh one of the old high school hang out spots for the kids of Bayside High School. I remember cutting the last day of class freshmen year to see Batman Begins at the movie theater here. Those were the daysssss. It's actually quite the pleasant shopping mall with a pretty wide selection of stores to browse through (Express, American Eagle, Victoria's Secret, etc). The food selection leaves much to be desired (like most malls), but this seems like a place that'd have slightly better fare. They've definitely stepped their game up by adding a Five Guys though. There's a giant parking lot that surprisingly gets pretty full, and can be pretty hectic getting into and out of. You'll always be able to find a spot though. read more

This place is Ok. if you pull into the main parking lot you have access to the likes of Panera Bread, Outback Steakhouse, Applebee's, Duane Reed, Barnes & Nobles, Waldbaums among others. Now the part that I do not like about this place is that if you want to say visit the Post Office your best bet is to pull around on 26th or what about the Tony Roma's or Five Guys you guessed not really attached to the main parking lot. All and all though this is a nice shopping center if you are use to Suburban living and want to get away of the Urban setting throughout NYC then take a drive up to Bayside; I know that is the reason why I go. read more
