    I saw this place on instagram and wanted to check it out. I didn't even know this was here. It's so cute -with few stores there open. bakery , coffee spot, children store and some others but we didn't go to all of them. Most of the stores were empty. Hope they get more tenants to fill empty stores. It's cute shopping area.

    I was visiting friends in SoCal and looked up things to see/do in nearby Pasadena. I read about Burlington Arcade and decided to see how it would compare to other London-inspired arcades I've been to in other countries. I arrived there in the afternoon and it was like a ghost town with only 1 shop open despite the time not yet even any way near 5:00 PM. Despite it being just a small, very short strip with its design, architecture, arches and the red phone booth reminiscent of the other larger London-inspired arcades I've seen in other countries, everything adds value to the charm of the area. The arcade's value lies in its ability to foster community engagement and provide nostalgic, screen-free entertainment for all ages within a vibrant public space. That being said, this little arcade definitely adds a unique value to this side of town! The selection of shops (despite their being closed) were varied.

    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.

    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.

    I stopped by the Burlington Arcade in Pasadena and loved how easy it was to walk around. The shops offer a nice mix of selection depending on what you are looking for and it is fun to browse without feeling rushed. The service in the stores I stepped into was friendly and low pressure which made the experience even better. Prices felt fair for the area and there is something for different budgets. Everything was clean and the storefronts were inviting. The bright red telephone booth is such a fun prop for pics and definitely adds to the vibe. It is a cute stop if you are already in the area and want something low key and easy.

    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

Some prompts from Google indicate that it is a larger area than it actually is. It is the original Bullock's department store in Pasadena. It has great historical and architectural significance. This area was developed to be a leisurely place to enjoy community, shopping, food. It was a new concept design specifically for this area. It is a walkable and enjoyable experience to shop and eat in this area. Now that it is Macy's they have continued to develop small boutique stores located alongside the lower edge of the building along Lake. Some of the small boutique stores have changed. The new stores have become very popular. Foundation stores like Trader Joe's and The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf keep bringing in new customers. It is important to check opening hours for the different stores as they vary from store to store. Parking is available in the Macy's parking lot adjacent. I believe it's 3 hours parking but double check always the printed signs. The last time I walked by the area I was impressed at the generational diversity. Nice to realize that some of the historic influences of the past are being carried on by a new generation. When visiting this is a great place to consider. It gives you a good foundation for understanding how Pasadena developed its friendly atmosphere. Look forward to coming back often!

It's not just a standard retail shopping center, but an elevated version with a relaxing atmosphere surrounded by quaint patios, great selection of unique stores, variety of specialty shops, and good handful of casual + fine dining options. It's the next level shopping and dining experience you will remember. The sophisticated ambiance creates intrigue, wonder, and delight for visitors from all around near and far. Come enjoy the cool restaurants, fun shopping, spectacular dining and outdoor seating that you may not find anywhere else! Don't forget to check out both north and south shops. Btw, free parking is available located closer to Erewhon.

There's no parking attendants in the pit parking at all, so if it does get fisted and full, you probably won't know until it's too late and you'll definitely be circling a lot. I remember WAY back in the day when PMX used to be here and that was my experience going around the Paseo, but I guess nowadays, the only reason I'd be here is due to Cat Con or if I ever wanted to, Anime Pasadena. No matter what you do, unless you're super lucky somehow and can read signs, you will have to pay for parking or if you're okay walking from super far away. Currently, the Paseo is home to these businesses: -Regal Theaters -Panini Kabob Grill -Bath and Body Works -Equinox (lol) -DSW -Starbucks -Wushiland -Yard House (perfect for anime cons) There's also some jewelry stores, a book store, I think, the antique mall, and more stores I guess for people who live nearby.
