    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.

    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.

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.

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.

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!
