The Shops at La Cantera in San Antonio is one of the best shopping centers in the area, and there…read moreis a ton of great shopping to do here, from high fashion to more affordable options. There is also a great Lego store, Barnes and Noble, and plenty of good food choices. The worst part of La Cantera is that half of the people who go here seem like they are on their first week on Earth and do not know what they are doing. I love people who walk four in a row and block entire walkways, or people who stop randomly in the middle of the path to look at something. You make my life so miserable. Parking is also pretty insane if you are trying to park up close, but if you have patience, anything is possible. Be careful of the reckless drivers who have no courtesy for anything but themselves. The layout of the mall is pretty nice. Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom Rack have some higher price tag shops surrounding them, while Dillard's and Macy's have more affordable stores nearby. Across the street from the main hub is additional shopping with Zara, J.Crew, J.Jill, Free People, H&M, and most of the dining options, including Perry's, Grimaldi's, Yard House, Palenque Grill, Cheesecake Factory, and more. When the weather is nice and it is not scorching hot, The Shops are a great place to visit in San Antonio. Even when it is hot, there is plenty of shade and air conditioning to help make it less miserable. RIYL: Shopping around some of the most unaware people to ever exist.

Parking was limited due to the valet parking lot. The restroom near Build-a-Bear smelled like a landfill. Management/Owners put more energy in a valet parking lot than the restroom. This place has stores for all shoppers (luxury end and budget friendly).

The Huebner Oaks Shopping Center is where we stopped for a gift search back on May 30, 2025…read more This center has a Hallmark shop - those are few and far between these days, but they are still really great shops for particular items. My youngest daughter had a friend who was a Swiftie (Taylor Swift fan). Her birthday party was quickly approaching. So glad we stopped here. I wanted to continue shopping, but I also had a long trek ahead of me. Very plain Jane shopping center. Free parking. Brainless drivers in this area, though. Be careful.

Apparently, you don't like my J-oaks. Let's move on. Pretty spectacular high-end outdoor shopping mall in San Antonio where, unlike the Quarry, every business seems to look the same and have the same design and storefront, which can make it really hard to actually find anything - but it's still really cool. I played a pretty famous show here a very long time ago when there used to be a Borders here. Fun times. We came here recently shopping for Barbie and we had a good time. Late night date spot called the Flying Saucer (and there I thought the one in Houston was a family business, ew). There is an ice cream store here and some bubble tea here that recently changed hands but my girlfriend hasn't changed hands in a while and hopefully she won't anytime soon.

The Rim is an incredibly gigantic shopping center. This huge area has almost every store you could…read moreever need. My husband stayed at a hotel just behind the Rim and dined at Kaffeinated Crepes and Coffee during our time in San Antonio. Kaffeinated Crepes and Coffee is a great place for fresh food and coffee (see separate review). The Rim is too large of a shopping center. It is difficult to find your way around. The streets and parking are not driver friendly. There is a severe lack of signage!!! While The Rim has a lot to offer it is not convenient or easy to get to the shops.

The Rim has some amazing restaurants to choose from. My favorites are Gloria's Latin Cuisine,…read moreSouthleigh Haute South, North Italia and Russo's Pizzeria. Let's not forget some drinks from Rock and Rye. The Palladium theater and Bass Pro Shop are some great places to visit there. The shopping at the Rim offers many stores to conveniently choose from like JCPenney, Ross, Home goods and petsmart. If you have a full day to spend and lots to do, the Rim is a great place to start.

One of the many shopping areas located around the various loops (410 or 1604) in San Antonio. This…read moreone is located on the NW side along 1604 and Bandera Road. It covers a large area and you have the usual suspects that are normally found in these large centers ranging from Target, Kohls, various restaurants, and specialty shops. If you want to spend a day of shopping and pick up all you need in one spot this is the place to go and you can easily finish it off with a multitude of places to eat. The biggest drawback is of course the traffic in the area. On the weekend I would suggest being strategic and take some of the less traveled roads along the outskirts and ignore whatever navigation system you are using to reroute you. It will save you some time and frustration especially when dealing with traffic on Bandera.

This large shopping center is located at the southwest corner of Loop 1604 and Bandera Road…read more There are a lot of shops here, but my favorites are along the access road - Spec's liquor store, Mia's Mexican restaurant and Randolph-Brooks FCU. Within the center are Pier 1, Old Navy, Target and Lowe's, plus many smaller stores and restaurants. Because of construction in the Bandera Road intersection there's a lot of extra traffic flowing through this shopping center right now. It's a convenient way to get around the construction, but it makes accessing different stores a little more hectic and dangerous.

These days we go once or month or so to take his mom shopping for things she needs. Her go-to spots are Saks and Dillards. You can tell that back in the heyday of malls North Star would have been deemed awe-inspiring. The mall itself is very clean and spacious with all of the typical shops you expect to find (anchor stores, smaller stores, etc.). Lots of food options including The Cheesecake Factory and others. Easily accessible from the highway. And, who can forget the best part and my favorite part? The legendary and ginormous cowboy boots sculpture(s). In fact, the largest boots in the world.

Strand by me! Strand in the place where you are!…read more This is a cool shopping center located right off the corner of I-10 and Huebner. It's got a huge monument sign out in the ample parking lot. I've always felt safe here. The parking lot is well lit, and there's a nice sidewalk that takes customers from one establishment to the next. Some of the places even have spots outdoors to enjoy the weather on the wide sidewalks. The center has a Flying Saucer anchoring at one end, and a movie theater next door. There's a wide array of businesses here, usually with few vacancies. There's lots of car dealerships within a stone's throw from this spot. Accessing this spot isn't quite as easy as if it were right on the hard corner of Huebner and I-10, but it's accessible by any road that comes off of that intersection. There's plenty of ways to get in and out of this shopping center. The place is always picked up and litter free which is pretty cool!

If you don't Strand for something, you fall for anything…read more So I decided to make a Strand by reviewing this place for the first time. This is located at Huebner Oaks Shopping Center in San Antonio, around the back in the plaza itself, and this section is known as The Strand and is separate from the traditional Huebner outdoor in-the-round strop mall. This one is like Huebner, which is a very posh and enjoyable shopping center. I like to come here whenever I can because it has good memories and it's extremely well done. Barbie loves it here too and looks great here, but it can be a little bit difficult to walk around this mall with heels. Still, it's much better and more enjoyable than most strip malls, and has beautiful distant old memories for me, too.

There's a variety of dining options, from Zoe's to Stoneworks and Sushi Zushi! They have high end shopping and all kinds of great things that you can always use around the home. Parking is easy, and there's plenty of ingress/egress points along Basse and Broadway, and even the back streets. I am happy with the fact that they have some outdoor amenities that aren't required for a shopping center, but are nice additions. They have outdoor benches with beautiful landscaping. There's an outdoor fountain (that I've never seen full of water) with some benches to watch people getting their taxes filed. There's 24 hour security around here, they keep a good eye over what's going on around here, so I feel safe. I wish that they had more bike parking.
