    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Do you have size 2 and 3X in the store?

    They do have it sometimes the only thing that makes it is easy to find it is to call them if they have that way you are looking for. don't waist time going and they don't have. Also they can help you find it where is the close one for you

    This Zara basically wants to limit the SA interactions. I came on a weeknight and there were SA…read morearound folding but no one really interacting with customers unless it's checkout. In the SA defense, they are very nice when they assist. Even checkout was self service. Pick up orders on the left by self service and pick up returns on the right. You basically have to box up your return for online. This location is very spacious. The selection looked ample but there's a lot of blank space throughout. I really think they can make a seating area for the men hahaha.

    Toxic Service & Complete Management Failure - AVOID THIS LOCATION…read more ​The Zara at Brea Mall is an absolute embarrassment to the brand. If you value being treated with basic human Decency, do not shop here. I walked out feeling disrespected and humiliated by a staff that is clearly untrained and hostile. ​The experience at the returns counter was a disaster from start to finish: ​The "Frontline" Issue: The associate (thin with black hair) was flat-out insulting. She rolled her eyes, talked down to me, and acted like following the store's own return policy was a personal burden to her. It wasn't just "attitude"--it was blatant unprofessionalism. ​The Incompetence: A second associate with curly hair actually found me an exchange item in a larger size, only to suddenly "change her story" and claim it wasn't policy. Don't offer solutions you don't understand; it's misleading and incompetent. ​The "Leadership": When the manager was called over, things actually got worse. Instead of de-escalating, the manager was arrogant, dismissive, and provided zero help. ​When the leadership is this rude, it explains why the staff feels comfortable mistreating paying customers. This isn't just one "bad day"--it's a systemic failure in training and accountability. Zara corporate needs to take a hard look at the Brea location because the current staff is driving loyal customers away for good. I will never spend another dime here.

    Surprised (but pleasantly so) to see a J.Crew Factory pop up in this plaza -- definitely wasn't…read moreexpecting it, but the familiar "SALE" signs pulled me in right away. This brand always gives me major '90s throwback vibes, which I appreciate. The store itself is very clean, items well stocked and well-organized, with plenty of space to browse. There were only a couple other customers inside. That said, the staff were chit-chatting and didn't seem particularly engaged to acknowledge you as you walk by which put a bit of a damper on the experience. (FYI - I like to be left alone when I'm browsing, but a courtesy hello would be nice when you come in). I wandered around for a while but didn't find anything that stood out enough to buy --- the sale wasn't a wow-factor...even with 60% off clearance. Overall, it's nice to have this store here, but my visit felt a little underwhelming. Maybe need to try again for Black Friday!

    J. Crew Factory (and Ulta) took over the previous Cost Plus location, in the plaza with Michaels,…read moreNordstrom Rack, Tillys, Staples, etc. I have passed by this location numerous times without even noticing that it had become a J. Crew. One can see the Ulta signs (both sides) from Imperial but J. Crew is a bit harder to see (unless it's dark and it's lighted up). A friend told me this week that she's shopped here a few times, and I was surprised to hear a J. Crew Factory store had opened up here. Most of the items in the store had a discount posted near them, but the deals also got better as one walks further and further into the store - especially in the back with the clearance section. Everything is neat and tidy. There were many sizes in stock, unless they were on a special sale with only a handful of items left in that style. There were employees throughout the store, restocking and tidying up items. The fitting rooms are in the back of the store. Checkout was fast and the employees are very kind and efficient. I was able to grab a few items for myself and a family member, at great deals. There is plenty of parking in front of the store. I will most definitely be returning in the future!

The first time I showed up about 8 months ago and the store was closed - during business hours. It wasn't even lunch time. Today I was at the Brea Mall so I thought I'd try again. I called at 12:30 PM to see if they carry the style of shoe that I was looking for. There was no answer. I called twice. I don't understand since they don't even open until 12 PM. Their business hours are listed 12-5pm. Do they open at 12 and then go on a 2 hour lunch break? I really don't get it. I showed up at their store at 1:15pm today, and just as I was parking, a young man was at the front door, changing the little sign with a Clock that shows when they will be back!! What the hell? This is my second attempt. I guess they don't want my business. It's absolutely ridiculous. This place sucks already since it's never open when you show up. They won't answer the phone either so there's that. How frustrating!! don't waste your time! The store is small anyways. Looking through the window they don't have much inventory, so I guess I won't waste my time ever again in the future. Lame!! I don't know how they stay in business.

I guess if you like shops like Ron Herman or Unionmade w/o the far drive up, this is the shop!
