Easy, free parking. Accessible by train and ferry, besides car. Many different delicious food choices from delis to Greek to fancier fare, and The Rustic Bakery, which is where we ate. There is ample outdoor dining in sun and shade, besides indoor dining. Since we arrived at different times, everyone enjoyed browsing through the bookstore, and window shopping around the center. The center is very kid and dog friendly and there are lots of areas and activities for kids to explore and enjoy. It is also clean. The reason for one star off: there is a vibe that all of us felt, and others have said the same thing about the shopkeepers and some staff. I was wearing a top from one of the stores and jeans from another shop there. I popped into each store and was ignored by everyone in the first place and watched as if I might shoplift in the other store. I had only my phone in my pocket and no bag at all. It was uncomfortable-making and I left both stores, which were understandably empty. The place is delightful as a location for walking around with kids and dogs. Lots of food options.

Back to Sunday, naturally, every Rivian & Tesla were here to shop the special deals, it was busy! So busy in fact, my register transaction was passed to another associate midstream. I already had waited a decent amount of time before the buck was passed, but then it took additional time to process the Anniversary discounts I had received. I was patient, but I doubt others shopping cosmetics would have been as gracious. In any case, I'm just influencer level, but I was gifted lots of nice discounts and samples; including $10 for the ZBar and $15 towards cosmetics. I am happy I found Osea algae body butter special 2 pack deal, super emollient and perfect for summer and winter skincare. Happy anniversary Nordy's.

Eileen Fisher outfits is that for me and Nordstrom is where I shop for it because unlike the EF store, at Nordstrom I can also buy bras and shoes in the same trip) Nordstrom has outfitted me through the many chapters of my life starting from my teen years. I continue to enjoy the consistent top tier customer service, wonderfully curated options in store, on site tailoring, and their generous return policy. I used to have a Nordstrom personal shopper. Then I was a member of The Trunk. Now I am considering the option to have Nordstrom brought to my home so I can try and buy things without going to the physical location. Stonestown and downtown SF used to be my primary stores. Now it's Corte Madera. This store is so well stocked, I almost never hear "I can order it online". I enjoy the instant gratification of taking my purchases home with me on the same day. The majority of my wardrobe was purchased at Nordstrom. I am a loyalist. PS: don't sleep on Nordstrom Rack at the Vintage Mall. If you aren't local, Nordstrom Rack online is so great for money saving designer options!

The giant PILCRO sign and just the overwhelm of all the denim, and overpriced products (for cheap polyester quality) and lack of tester-opportunities of the perfumes (no perfume tester papers even to spray the perfume on--but instead MINI SAMPLE PERFUMES FOR PURCHASE, WTF) it's like this store is wanting to go out of business.

Because it has…read moreeverything I need: a grocery store/pharmacy, coffee (not just 1, but 2 Starbucks locations), a bagel house; and plenty of family-friendly dining options (Harmony Restaurant, Thep Lela, Pizza Antica, Whisk + Skillet, etc.). They also have more fast casual spots for a quick meal to go, such as In 'N Out Burger, High Tech Burrito, and Parranga. They have an Orange Theory Fitness center, a Woodland's Pet Store, as well as a AAA location (for all my automotive/DMV needs). Over the years, they've done a really nice job of landscaping the property. There are plenty of palm trees and outdoor seating areas (which is especially convenient now during this Covid craziness). The shopping center is always clean. Seldom will you find litter or debris on the ground. In the past few year, more upscale shops have opened their doors to appease the local Soccer moms, including Spanish Table, West Elm, Lavande Nail Spa, and Athleta. You certainly won't find a Target, Panda Express or $1 Store in this mall. Welcome to Mill Valley, folks. Although Strawberry Village continues to expand its vendor portfolio and spruce itself up, my favorite thing about this mall is the smaller businesses who have been there for years. I'm talking about the old shoe/watch repair store, the copy shop, the camera store, and Arch Rival (which continues to sell sporting goods and shoes). Even in this Amazon home delivery world, these businesses continue to survive, and I'm happy to support them. * If you're a dog owner, I'll let you in on a little secret. The Strawberry Village is a great place to walk the pooch when it's raining because of all the covered outdoor areas.

Every year during the holidays they have the lighted boat parade which is super fun and well attended. Montecito Plaza is at a great location because you can easily access it off the freeway or if you are going through town.

After Bell Market closed, the space sat empty for years. And without a supermarket to anchor the shopping center, the Cove fell off people's radars. There was practically tumbleweed blowing in the empty parking lot. Fortunately, Paradise Foods moved in to the abandoned market a year ago, and Tiburon finally has a new grocery store (and a damn good one at that). Ever since Paradise opened its doors, it's like the Cove has turned over a new leaf. There's now a Peet's Coffee where all the soccer moms and telecommuters like to congregate. And you can still find a number of longstanding businesses, including: a florist, Sweet Things Bakery, Foodniks Deli, Milano's Restaurant, Marin Dry Cleaners, Champagne Salon, a Physical Therapy studio, and a UPS Store. So there's definitely a reason to visit this shopping center again. And it's nice to see cars and people in the parking lot again. My only gripe with the Cove is its lack of dining options. All you really have are Milano's for Italian food and Foodnik's for deli sandwiches and salads. It would be nice to have more variety. Also, Paradise Foods closes at 9pm. So if you need to pick up anything at the store (from wine to toilet paper) in the evening, you're pretty much S.O.L. You'll have better luck at Safeway at the Strawberry Village a few miles down the road. All in all, I'm glad to see the Cove coming back from the dead. With a few new shops & restaurants, and maybe a new coat of paint, this place could once again become a shopping/dining destination.

Cons: - Aside from Target and Ross, there really aren't any anchor stores to draw in customers. If they were lucky enough to open a Trader Joe's here, it would be a whole new ball game. Even a movie theater might drive more traffic. - Limited restaurant options. It's mostly cheap fast food (Burger King, Panda Express, Subway, Starbucks). They do have a BBQ N Curry restaurant that's pretty decent. - Very little outdoor seating. In fact, the entire landscaping could benefit from a cosmetic make-over.
