The area is clean, well-maintained, and easy to walk around with a nice courtyard and parking structure. There's a nice mix of restaurants, coffee shop - including a coffee bar inside Bristol Farm and other stores, so it works whether you're grabbing food, meeting friends, or running grocery errands or even stopping by the local credit union. There's also 4 EV chargers for your car. Parking is usually pretty easy, in the back area, which is a big plus as long as you stay away from the front area of restaurants. Overall, it has a relaxed and family-friendly feel since it's walking distance to the library and is one of the nicer centers in the area.

Over the past few years, Brea Mall has undergone a major transformation with the addition of a…read morebeautifully renovated wing and outdoor area. The new mix of shopping, dining, and family-oriented offerings has made it an even better destination. I'm go to the Uniqlo and Shibuya LA all the time, which are fantastic additions for anyone looking for Japanese fashion, skincare, and cosmetics. Several existing retailers have also refreshed their spaces, including Coach and Lululemon, giving the mall a more modern feel. The outdoor plaza and children's play area are wonderful additions for families. It's a great place to relax while kids burn off some energy and the pet-friendly outdoor spaces make it even more inviting. The dining scene has also improved dramatically. With restaurants like Din Tai Fung, North Italia, Kalbi Social Club (KBBQ), The Melt, and Pacific Catch all within steps of the mall. There are plenty of excellent sit-down options for before or after shopping. The addition of LA Fitness and the new apartment complex will likely make this area even more vibrant and lively. Brea Mall has done an impressive job evolving into more than just a shopping center. It's revived the mall and become a true community destination where you can shop, dine, exercise, and spend the day with family and friends.

Whoa! It's been 9 years since my last review; time for an update!…read more This is one of the few malls that's still thriving. After Sears closed, they tore it down and are now building a nice outdoor retail/dining area with some decent restaurants. I'm not sure why apartments taking over a mall parking lot are such a big deal, and not sure I would want to live that close to a major mall, but I assume they make money. The one they do is take up parking. Which is my only complaint. Parking here can be a pain. Whatever you do, never park in the parking garage next to Nordstrom's when it's busy. The cars backed up on the street can be insane, and the guys with the flags to control traffic seem to be there only to help pedestrians cross the road. The last time I tried to park there, we ended up on the very top, which was also full, and only got a spot because someone left. Parking behind the men's/houseware Macy's store used to be great, but then they locked those doors. During the holiday, parking is already bad enough, but with this expanded area, it's only going to get worse. Inside the mall, I do love the mix of stores. The food court has just enough variety to make most people happy. It's also a great mall for walking, especially if you end up parking far enough away from an entrance to earn some extra steps.

The important thing to know is that if you come during the holidays or on a weekend, it will be busy. The good thing is, as long as you don't mind parking on the very upper levels and walking a bit, I've always been able to find parking. But if you don't like walking at all, this probably isn't the center for you, and there's a lot of walking if you want to explore everything! What I love about this center is that you have everything from Nordstrom to Target, literally! You can find some very unique restaurants, along with typical chains, so there's something for everyone. We'll occasionally see a movie here as well, but that's another review. What impresses me the most is how well-maintained and clean everything is. Even the elevators in the parking garages are graffiti-free, which is very unusual. Now, not all the locations have maintained their interiors as well, but that's on them and not the Irvine Spectrum. My favorite time to come is still in December. We've always found the night atmosphere to have a lot of great energy. And yes, there are a lot of teens who hang around and have loud fun; they're harmless and add to the energy.

There were bands playing great live music in different areas, which made the atmosphere so lively and fun. There were also so many different stations set up throughout the mall where families could participate in activities together. This is truly one of the best places for kids and teenagers. There is so much to see and do, and it's a great place for families to spend the day. I especially loved how there was something happening throughout the entire center rather than just one main event. Definitely a fun spot to visit if you're looking for entertainment, activities, and a great family atmosphere.

It reminds me of the SoCo plaza in Costa Mesa but it has a pretty common vibe where there are indoor shops, outdoor seating, play areas, and restaurants.

In the one year that Jen and I have been dating, this place has improved and provided many fun days and nights. The Christmas decorations were wonderful and this past weekend they had the Lunar New Year celebration, with many additional pop-up vendors in the street (closed off for pedestrians). We enjoyed walking, talking and exploring all the additional vendors and also the people (and dog) watching was top notch. Judging by the crowd turnout, I would say that this was a successful event, and I hope they add more events like this going forward. Many great restaurants, shops, craft stores and plaza entertainment. Water fountains and train rides for the kids (and some adults too). Whether you come here to dine, shop or just hang out and enjoy the weather with others, this place is a solid choice.

We love Yorba Linda Station shopping center and have been frequenting here for years!…read more There are 4 entrances on Imperial Highway at Lemon Drive, Lemon Drive East, Olinda Street, and by Mimi's Cafe, and then one more entrance on Yorba Linda Boulevard between Mimi's Cafe and the yoga studio. Ample parking and some is even in the shade if you get lucky. Insider tip: If you're going to Polly's Pies use one of the two Lemon entrances because Polly's has a huge parking area not a whole lot of people know about behind the restaurant that is less crowded than the rest of the parking lot and Polly's Pies has two entrances and the entrance by the back parking lot is usually less busy although it has stairs so if someone in your party needs wheelchair access then use the front door off of Imperial highway. In addition to Polly's and Mimi's there's another restaurant in the center called Fitness Cafe that has salads, pizzas, pasta, and plenty of healthy options for everyone. Fitness Cafe is next to a wine bar that has a fire pit so that's a fun place to gather friends. The wine bar has tapas style finger foods and we've been there when they have live music in the evening. The cookie element sells so many varieties of cookies! If you don't want to heat up your house using the oven during the summer they will be sure to offer whatever cookies you're craving! My fiancée and I both like their cookies although they're a bit sweet for me so if you have a sweet tooth you'll like them. There is also a relatively new kickboxing gym here if you need to burn off the calories from the cookies haha There are multiple doctors offices here as well as boutiques and other shops. It's located across the street from the Yorba Linda Public Library and is across the cross walk from the new YLTC. The buildings could use some upgrades but the businesses here are top notch.

Another great feature is the visible presence of security and police officers, which helps maintain a sense of safety despite the crowds.

You also have to keep an eye out, as there can sometimes be unsavory characters whose behavior isn't exactly neighborly both inside and in the parking lots.
