    When I walked in today they gave me a free bag. Items were buy one get another 50% off which was pretty cool. Was able to go in and easily use my $5 off birthday rewards which I used to buy a random sonic the hedgehog magnet. It's crowded during the holidays!

    This store is located on the western side of Brea Mall, very close to Nordstrom. This is a great store if you're a shopper that want to touch or see the product in person before making a purchase. They sell a lot of cool entertainment merchandise from your favorite TV shows, anime, manga, etc. I usually only come here to pick up an online order that I had opted to have shipped here. The employees that I've encountered have always been nice, friendly, and helpful.

    Thanks Samantha

    Another great experience! Thank you Mackenzie for helping me with my online and I store purchases. It's always a wonderful experience when shopping and sharing fun and memorable moments.

    Tired of American Girl dolls?  Put Annabelle in your collection (and watch as everyone runs away in terror afterwards)!

    Date of visit: October 28, 2018 Just like the ampm slogan: TOO MUCH GOOD STUFF! The best way I can describe BoxLunch would be this: just like Spencer's or Hot Topic, minus the naughty stuff... and a lot more Disney merchandise. We'd seen quite a bit of Disney fans showing off their limited edition purchases from this chain, so my lady and I went to check it out while at Brea Mall. BoxLunch carries just about any and all things pop culture related (besides Disney) - Marvel, Funko Pops, Dragon Ball Z, Star Wars... you name it, they probably have it! And with the prices (especially with their BOGOs under $10), you can EASILY go over your budget! For example, I picked up three Stitch patches, a Nightmare Before Christmas pen, two pins, some Japanese snacks, and a Mega Man blind box figurine for a little over $40 - I may have gone a bit overboard with my purchases. But wow, all those items on display made my head spin (in a good way)! Also, something to consider - part of your purchase price goes towards supporting food banks in the area, so while you're spending away, know that it's going towards a good cause. It's a good thing San Diego doesn't have a BoxLunch location (yet), because I can easily see myself get carried away here! Looking forward to future visits and purchases when I'm in the area visiting my lady!

    This is one of my favorite shops in the Brea Mall. Anytime we're in the mall, my spouse and I almost always stop in to check out all the cool merchandise. They have stuff for many fandoms: Harry Potter, Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, Naruto, Ninja Turtles, Lord of the Rings, and more. The content of their collection changes over time, so sometimes you'll see a lot of Spider-man stuff, and sometimes not. Right now, they have a growing collection of Funko Pop and Loungefly backpacks. The staff here are usually very friendly and helpful. One additonal aspect I like about this company is that for every $10 you spend, one meal is sourced on behalf of local food banks.

    I've been to a couple of different pop culture shops in my day but this particular one has made me pretty giddy just thinking about it.Let me explain. This shop carries exclusive merchandise that no one else carries because of their partnership with Disney and other companies.So if you're into Game of Thrones,Supernatural and Star Wars just to name a few,there is a bunch of cool collectibles and a whole mess of intricate pieces for your collection.I personally picked up a Boba Fett carry on and fresh looking Dj dinner plate that I won't use but will keep as a collectible.The staff is really knowledgeable about the merchandise and they get really geeked out when you talk shop about their interests. This is a shop I will be checking into every month because of the customer service and dope merchandise.One can also sign up for email alerts to keep up with new exclusives,I know I will.Peace

    A fun store with unique items plus a percentage of sales go toward buying meals at food banks. I stumbled upon this store while at the Brea Mall and began browsing through the various sections devoted to Star Wars, Harry Potter, Marvel, Game of Thrones, Walking Dead and numerous other cult television shows and movies. Most of the items are shirts but they have various toys and knick knacks as well. Then I spied the shelves of Studio Ghibli items and got a little geeky. They had stuff for Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service. I ended up buying a cute little basket with the black cat from Kiki. The friendly staff here were fantastic. One woman (Vanessa) spent time with me explaining their charity work and the in-store special offers. She was very personable and had a thorough knowledge of every item in the store. If you are looking for a special gift or enjoy pop culture or just feel like geeking out, stop in and have fun.

I'm very surprised with the negative reviews because I had an amazing experience at Alo Brea Mall. I came in on a weekday this week not expecting to purchase anything. I was a bit intimidated, and wasn't sure if my size would be available. I was greeted upon entry and started browsing. After a few minutes, Palmi came up to me and asked me if I needed any help. I was expecting standard customer service but to my surprise, Palmi went above and beyond with helping me find the right pieces and recommended items that were her personal favorites and as well as items that would work best with my fitness goals. She had a few girls help me as well with grabbing items. They arranged the fitting room for me and it honestly felt like a personalized styling appointment! She even grabbed me a pair of shoes and socks to try on to complete the look and get a feel for the clothes when I'd wear it. While I was in the fitting room, different sales associates came in to hand me new items to try on. Although there were a lot of different things pulled for me, I felt comfortable the entire time and didn't feel like I was being pushed to buy. Since gaining a lot of weight, I've been intimidated to go into clothing stores (especially ones fitness focused). However, Palmi and her team made me feel welcomed, and honestly was a great interaction in starting my fitness journey again. She made a great impact to my day and I truly had a wonderful experience. Her customer service is AMAZING and deserves a raise or promotion! I left with a few items and as well as a couple pairs of the cutest pink/white crew socks. Hopefully I will get the same great customer service next time!

I had no difficulty returning my online purchase for a better fit and left wanting to shop more with the helpful services they gave throughout the dressing room and check out process. Only problem I had was not being able to get my size due to sell out of items in store and online. But besides that, this shopping experience was great!

    For years, I found Nordstrom Rack overwhelming because of its size and selection. This time, I went…read morein with a strategy: I focused only on tops and shopped only the XS section, working my way through one rack at a time. In about an hour, I pulled around 18 pieces to try on and found several great additions to my summer wardrobe while staying within my budget. The only frustration was that many items in the XS section were mixed with M, L, and other sizes, making it a little harder to shop efficiently. The associates at the register were friendly and professional, and they listened when I shared feedback about the loud music in the fitting rooms. Overall, I'm glad I finally found a shopping method that works for me. What used to feel intimidating now feels manageable, and I left with some wonderful pieces for my summer wardrobe.

    Very disappointing online pickup experience…read more I went to the Brea Nordstrom Rack on Sunday, August 9 around 1:30 p.m. to pick up an online order. As you walked in, there are two signs advertising "Buy online for fast and easy pickups." Unfortunately, my experience was anything but fast or easy. I asked a cashier where to go for online pickup, and she directed me to a checkout line that extended all the way to the back of the store and appeared to have at least 75 people waiting, most of whom were making regular in-store purchases. I got in line, but remembered that on previous visits there had been an employee specifically handling online pickups. I decided to ask another cashier if someone was handling online orders. She was very kind and understanding and said she would ask the manager, Cynthia. I explained that I was frustrated about having to wait in such a long line just to pick up an order I had already purchased online. I was told I would still need to wait in line because Cynthia would go through the queue and process online orders in order. I said that was completely fine and I returned to the line. I was the second person in line who was there solely for an online pickup. Cynthia left to the back of the store to retrieve our orders. About 10 minutes later, I noticed that she had returned to the register assisting customers in line, yet had both of our online orders sitting in a basket behind her. This is where the experience became especially frustrating. Cynthia walked right past us on her way back to the registers but left us standing in the long checkout line, even though she had already retrieved our orders. I eventually had to ask another employee to get my order so I could leave. Only then did Cynthia take the other customer's order to her, after that customer had also been left waiting in line. I completely understand that stores get busy and employees have a lot to manage. What I don't understand is why customers who had already paid for their orders online were left standing in a huge checkout line when our orders had already been retrieved and were literally sitting behind the register. The cashier who initially helped me was kind and professional, and I appreciate her trying to help. My frustration is specifically with how the manager handled the situation. If Nordstrom Rack advertises "fast and easy pickups," I think customers should reasonably expect an online pickup to be handled differently from a regular purchase checkout. This was neither fast nor easy, and the way the manager handled it made the situation much more frustrating than it needed to be.

    Located in the new wing of the Brea mall, this Uniqlo is massive!!…read more With that being said, it's almost so big it's overwhelming lol They have a ton of inventory crammed into every inch of the store, I did notice they also had a lot of sale items scattered throughout as well. The store was pretty decent maintained, clothes were from what I saw all hanging on a hanger or on a shelf (I've been to locations where you see clothes on the floor) Some of the sale items were a really good deal, like basic tees for $10 or less and even graphic and embroidered tees for $15 They have a self checkout area that reminded me so much of how self checkout is in Korea! If you haven't been, definitely worth a visit to browse and hunt down some good deals!

    SHOP WITH CAUTION, I WILL NEVER GIVE THEM ANOTHER CENT!…read more Long review but read if you don't want to get hosed also when shopping here... The positives: Clothing quality seems very high with soft and thick fabrics. Store is large and clean and we'll organized. Staff seemed friendly and polite although sparce and hard to locate or identify in the store itself... Side note : (I finally did identify someone who was an employee by going to the fitting room, when I asked him about the return policy, he said something to the effect of "when you buy online, the return policy is..." he paused trying to find the right words, so I helped the poor guy out by jumping in and saying: "a disaster?" he promptly and begrudgingly agreed.) Read on: The "need to knows": prices seem above average to high relative to other stores and relative to what you get... perhaps they are trying to compete with higher end stores...? I am not a huge shopper so I can't really say for sure, hence the reason this fact is not listed as a negative. Sizing is off, not just relative to normal sizes, but even within their own product lines. You really need to try stuff on and not assume a large in product x will fit the same as a large in product y. This is what brings me to the negatives.. The bad: the return policy is vague at best... We purchased online and shipped to store, and of course NOTHING FIT. We had no idea this meant there is absolutely no way to return for a refund. Surely this is stated in some vague return policy section online, but really, what store doesn't allow for a return and why would a client in this day and age think to check that or even fathom a company wouldn't stand by their product? Not only is there no refund but there is also no return for store credit LMAO, yes NO STORE CREDIT even!! What does this mean we asked: you have to find another item for the same price and do a like for like exchange. Guess what? The sizing SUCKS, as noted above, and they did not have ANY of the items we bought online that didn't fit in store for us to just exchange for the size that fit... So we had to wonder around aimlessly for similar priced items to exchange... After about an hour and finally choosing some random overpriced crap we really didint need, as opposed to wasting the $80+ we spent online, we went back to the checkout to try to exchange. The HILARITY continued at this point when our exchange items were like 40 cents Less than the items bought online.. Could we get 40c back? NO Could we just let them keep the 40c? No What could we do? Buy ANOTHER ITEM we don't need and pay the difference. LMAO rufk? So we bought a $6 tote bag from the checkout line and we're out another $5+ as this was basically our lowest cost option. (Not to mention I need another canvas tote like I need a hole in the head) So as we finalized this Ridiculous transaction what does the employee tell us: NOW THIS EXCHANGE IS FINAL SALE!! LMAO.. you gotta be fn kidding me... So after an hour and a half we left with $86 of overpriced items we didn't need and were absolutely stuck with, just lovely. To add to the already unbelievable experience, as my wife and I were dealing with this BS, there was a poor young lady at the checker next to us having essentially the SAME ridiculous conversation... Hers was aggravated further with a gift card or store credit involved which somehow, unsurprisingly, also was causing her purchase to be unreturnable/final sale and not an option to be credited back to her stored value card.. WTF? YEA, AS I SAID IN THE OPENING COMMENT, THATS THE FIRST AND LAST SALE FROM US!
