Calli Y.

Cute little location to take a few pictures. Soo sad, there could be so much potential but not many stores there at all. Cute little area with very few shops and they all close early.

Back entrance from the parking lot.
Nikki B.

Pasadena's Burlington Arcade was inspired by London's historic Burlington Arcade. It even has an iconic red phone box in the courtyard. The elegant architecture gives this quaint indoor shopping plaza its charm. Beautiful wood-framed curved windows and graceful arches are reminiscent of the historic British malls. The open-air entrances and quaint courtyard in the center makes you feel as if you've been transported to Europe. Inside you'll find clothing boutiques, a coffee shop, a modern soda fountain, a beauty salon, and even a store that sells authentic kimonos. If you appreciate architecture I suggest paying this place a visit. It's a great spot for photo ops, taking a leisurely stroll, shopping, or just grab a sandwich from Float and a coffee from Mandarin and sit in the courtyard and enjoy the ambience. *Free parking lot

Cute photo opp, not much more

As of July 2025 half the shops were vacant. Not really worth seeking it out unless you want a photo opp.

Burlington Arcade is, from what I can tell, a pretty close copy of the Burlington Arcade in London. An outdoor department store...just in the Pasadena version, quite a bit smaller. You can easily walk from one end to the other in a minute. This place has charm to spare, from the architecture, the lights, the red London phone booth. If you are addicted to taking selfies, this is the place for you. There are a number of shops, most of which are rather upscale. A children's boutique clothing store. A kimono shop/hair salon. Two cafés. A tailor. A spa. It's important to note that most of these stores close rather early. The place would be very picturesque if open late, with the hanging lights and all. But it seemed that almost all the stores are closed by 5pm. This is definitely worth a look if you are in the area. Not really worth it as a primary destination, but maybe a side-quest, if you will.

the cute corridor
Ceci C.

This is a cute little corridor tucked away in Pasadena that's pretty easy to miss. There's about 10 little shops that share this cute space, ranging from cafes, flower shops, nail salons, to clothing stores! Theres a row of small tables in the middle for seating, since most of the stores are pretty small. I saw some people bring their dogs, and others bring their laptops, and others just chatting away. My friend and I came to get coffee from Mandarin Coffee, and it was a cute spot to hang out and catch up! Definitely would recommend bringing someone here if they like cute, aesthetic places!

I love this place so much that I could never display it or say it in words. I've been here many times for coffee and tea and shopping. The architecture is absolutely stunning. Every time I come here everyone is happy and smiling. I mean how could you not be, right? There are tons of different businesses within this complex to chose from. Truly, this is how shopping should still be everywhere today. Under a roof, but outside with a little courtyard in the middle. The service is always great at the places I've ate, drank and shopped at. There is tons of selection in all regards. The prices are fair at most of the places I've been to. Go check it out and enjoy it :)

The "Plant & Flower" shop
Randy B.

Burlington Arcade is a cool little shopping area in the heart of Pasadena. It is a very small corridor and easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Once you enter, it feels like you've been transported to London. Architecture inside is beautiful with the wooded framed curved windows, the red telephone box and arches as you walk down the corridor. As I said, the place itself is very small. But there are number of shops that you can look at or buy stuff at and sit and have a boba, coffee maybe or a float eat some food and just take him the atmosphere. They have OinkMoo Boba shop, a Plant & Flower shop, Float is a place for coffee, food, root beer floats, etc. Jellylab for Crystals, gifts, jewelry, Mikko's hair that is connected to a Kimono shop that has beautiful Japanese Kimono's and items inside, Contessa is an Italian foods spot and a number of other places. You can walk through it in a matter of minutes, so don't expect a full day, buf you can take some great pictures, look in all the shops, buy some stuff, get some food and drink, etc. You will have a good time and day taking it all in and feeling like you left Pasadena. They do need a good fish and chips spot here though, it would only be fitting. I should open one. Enjoy!

Inside

This is a pretty cool spot. There's a few shops located here but walking through here makes you feel like you're in Europe. Definitely picturesque moments and overall cool things to checkout.

The outside of the building

6$ for full day parking which is so nice There's a great coffee shop and sandwhich place inside. Lots of shops nearby. Ideal spot for photos. Don't go when it's heat advisory hot out. Very tiny! But cute!

Steven B.

This is a cute little area with about 10 shops located just off Lake Street in Pasadena. They have eateries, flower shops, and hair stylist places. I simply had to write a brief review since it was awesome to walk through this alley-like area and see all these professional shops. Check it out if you have time and make sure to stop by Mandarin and Float.

Steven W.

The London feel located in Pasadena. A few tailor stores and a boba shop. Calm cool and places to sit as well. Great for a photo op.

Joel P.

It's a beautiful place to walk around. They need to add more attractions around because it's too small.

Burlington Arcade Street View

I drove close to 4 hours total to and back to see that it was just a charming walk way with only a few businesses. I got there around 5:30pm and there were only 3 shops open, the plant shop, the nail salon and the Japanese Kimono store. I was disappointed, I tried to make it a fun trip and walked around but to no surprise there was not much around either.

Mandarin coffee shop, Blossom Ginger latte and lemonade.

See all

Came because of the social media hype. Cute walk through, but not much to it. Many businesses were closed.

The atmosphere is fantastic, with outdoor seating where you can enjoy a coffee, get some work done, or just hang out and relax. A unique feature of the courtyard is the two red telephone booths, which add a fun decorative touch and make the space feel even more inviting. After our meal, I was able to shop at Williams-Sonoma, which is conveniently located here, along with other great businesses and restaurants, including: * FACILE * SOULCYCLE * Drybar * Green Street Restaurant * Lemonade Restaurant * Philz Coffee * UOVO * Mercado * Dan Modern Chinese * SUGARFISH * The Counter * TravelStore Whether you're grabbing a bite to eat, shopping, or just looking for a cozy spot to relax, The Commons is a great place to visit. Recommend you checking this place out when you're in Pasadena!

What caught my eye were the two red phone booths (feels like you're in London) but it had no phones inside, but it's okay! There is still a Christmas tree in the middle of all the restaurants. The places to eat here are the following: * Philz Coffee - my fave coffee shop in Pasadena! * Dan Modern Chinese * Lemonade * Mercado (Mexican cuisine) * Sugarfish by Sushi Nozawa * The Counter * Green Street Restaurant * Uovo (Italian cuisine) Some of the restaurants I had tried in other locations except for Dan Modern Chinese, Mercado, Green Street Italian and Uovo. Looking forward to try these! For retail and services, there's the Dry Bar, Soulcycle, Facile Skin Care and Williams Sonoma. It's a small complex and not too crowded. I would take family and friends here to eat and relax.

We also visited Pet Food Express where we were able to pet a cute Corgi and visited the Macy nearby. I parked in the parking lot behind Nick's and depending when you go, you might have to pay or it will be free. Since I parked my car after 7pm on a Wednesday, it's free. I wasn't sure at first and tried paying at the parking machine and also through the mobile app but it wasn't working. It wasn't until I walked inside Pet Food Express and the worker let me know they stop enforcing the parking time limit after 5pm on weekdays.

I didn't even know there was a South Lake Avenue area in Pasadena until I saw the signs. I just…read morethought there are just shops along Lake Avenue. Anyway, I was at Susie's Cakes and happened to park in the back parking lot because there were no street parking available. Tons of parking in the back. You wouldn't think there are plenty of parking from the main street. There are pay parking stations. Please read the signs. Certain time limits are free. To me that's service from the city of Pasadena. Thank you!!! Otherwise, you'll have to pay for parking. Cost shouldn't be too bad though. There are actually a few blocks of shops and eateries that pertain to South Lake Avenue. Selections are fantastic. I haven't visited all of them. Here are a few mentionables... Susie's Cakes, Randy's Donuts, El Mendocino, Panda Express, and many more. Park close to where you'll be dining, shopping, and playing. Happy Shopping and Dining!!!

Free street parking is on Colorado Blvd at this time. However, they already have a pay parking station right in front of Arcade Lane. It's not active yet until sometime in 2026. It's coming...

At first I was charmed by the concept of this character-filled plaza, which holds some shops,…read moreservices like a hair salon, and restaurants. It's very visually appealing from the parking lot side, which holds a a store called 3/4 Moon, and El Portal Restaurant. Walking through to the Colorado Blvd. side, after we finished dinner at El Portal, was a mixed bag, though. There's still a lot of brick texture, and nooks and crannies for visual and architectural interest. There is also a lot of missed potential, I believe. If it were mine to market, I'd bring in containers with a variety of trees, bushes, and flowers to soften and enliven the space. Making it more of a garden vibe would increase the appeal of strolling through the corridor and checking out the various businesses inside. I noted a yarn shop and a dance-themed business. Not sure if it was just for clothing, or if it was a studio. The parking lot entrance is off Green Street. Valet parking with validation was available when we went in the 4:00 hour on Sunday afternoon. El Portal validated the first hour. We paid $3.00 for staying into a second hour. It's the kind of location where you probably wouldn't feel encouraged to wander unless you were already going there specifically for one of the businesses. Having to pay for parking solidifies my thoughts in that regard.
