There is something for everyone here from shops, market, restaurants and cafe. Parking, it's rather hectic getting into the mall. Clean mall with lots of outdoor spaces to sit and people watch. I came to photograph commercial ads for a client and ended up eating at Whole food Market, getting food to go and finding a nice table with an umbrella and sat down enjoying observing people. Than I had a matcha latte at Starbucks. Lots of places to sit outdoor and it's fun watching people.

Lots of great things to say about this spot. First, it's a very clean and well-run group of stores. There's also Whole Foods there and it can be a practical place to grab a healthy lunch and eat in the Promenade. There's also complimentary WIFI. The Starbucks at the Promenade is one of the best. It has a lovely patio that is fairly peaceful. Also the public bathrooms are well taken care of. Parking is never a problem with the large Parking structure. Great people watching.

Mid-size bougie shopping plaza (compared to other shopping plazas in the area) lol. Lots of places to sit/chill and lots of open area that kids can run around. Clean and pretty with all of the palm trees enjoying Del Mar sunshine, but still check the website first to see if any of the stores here interest you because otherwise it wouldn't be worth the trip, especially as it can be difficult to find parking during peak hours (seems like the majority of the people here come for Whole Foods shopping).

John Lennon exhibit

You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one John Lennon - Imagine One of my first records was a Beatles album. I was a huge fan of John, Paul, and Ringo. I still have the audiophile boxed vinyl collection of the English versions of their albums. I didn't know John was a graphic artist and a show of his work had been on tour for 26 years. The last show was at Del Mar's Flower Hill Promenade November 18-20. Walking through the small gallery I was amazed by the variety of his work. He had some colorful drawings that could have been in a children's books and some x-rated pieces that had protesters up in arms when they were first shown. Many of his works had simple elegant brushwork like Chinese brush paintings hanging in my living room. I closed my eyes and imagined John's beautiful works hanging in my home. In the background John's music played. On the way out I met one of the show's organizers Rich Horowitz. We had met before. In the 1990's Off The Record was my source of bootleg cd's. There were a lot of bands that didn't perform in San Diego and the cd's were my way of listening to live shows. I didn't ask Rich where the cd's came from and Rich didn't say. I would go to the El Cajon Blvd store at least once a month and take a look at the bootleg cd area to see what was new. It was good to see Rich again. It was good seeing John Lennon's artwork.

Kids play area

I think I first visited Flower Hill Promenade about 10 years ago and it's come a loooooooong way since then. It's now littered with lounge areas, kids play places, and beautiful succulents as far as the eye can see. There'a Whole Foods, an upscale wine shop, and one of the world's most bougie fast-casual food chains (Flower Child). Part of me loves the improvements. Namely, the part that loves an organic salad bar and getting my car detailed while I shop. The other part of me doesn't exactly love the upgrades because of the obnoxious customers the amenities attract. You know the ones I'm talking about..they wear about $400 worth of Lululemon and wouldn't apologize if than ran over your toe with their shopping cart. Overall, it's a great place to shop, dine, or just kill an hour or two. Just watch out annoying people and be prepared to fight for a parking spot.

I've been going to this small mall for more than 20 years and they certainly have seen some changes. Had lunch here today and really was taken back a bit by all the improvements and decided to walk around after my meal. What a difference. I remember back when there was a movie theater that was fairly dilapidated. They showed great movies but it was just so run down. The theater has been replaced by Whole Foods and Sharp outpatient clinic. Other than a few shops of interest, most of this mall was pretty run down and just not worth coming to. But now they have upgraded quite a bit with Yogurtland, Chipotle, Burger Lounge and some other new additions. Some of the older shops remain and there is some good shopping here that goes unnoticed by many, but they certainly have their following when you notice the parking is quite full. They even have a car detail service behind Whole Foods so you can drop your car off while enjoying a meal at one of the many restaurants. Warning to those visiting this shopping center; people drive incredibly fast in this very tight mall. If you're backing out of a parking space, take extra precaution and do it slowly because the people around here are quite rude and will drive around you while you try and back out. If you are crossing from the parking area to the sidewalk or store.... run! Again, no courtesy here. The drivers stop for nothing and they drive ridiculously fast for such a small place. I was crossing to go to a restaurant and the cars were racing past like they were on the freeway. Not ONE car gave the slightest indication they would slow let alone stop for people crossing so be forewarned. I admit I have been here since they went through the upgrade and now I'm sure I'll be back again to try some of the other restaurants and check out the shops.

Remodeled and lovely and dust free finally! I'm sure the business owners in Flower Hill must be all sighing relief as the construction is mostly over and the Whole Foods opening is really bringing people in their doors again. The layout of this shopping center is cozy and makes you feel really connected with the business owners. They're close knit and the storefronts are beautifully re done. I've been in and out of several new and old businesses and I'm really impressed and how everyone has kicked it up a notch to compliment the new structural look. There's outdoor seating and new landscaping, including tile murals and fountains. It's really a place that I truly might spend and afternoon and I can't recall the last time I ever said that about a retail shopping "mall" -I suppose it's started to embody the "promenade" implications a lot more. Get that coffee at Pannikin, downward dog at Core Power, get a cigar, grab some cheese, home goods maybe? Something shiny? Lunch? The Spa? You're only trouble might be parking but don't forget the parking structure in back: It's quite accessible. I'm highly anticipating Chef Matt Gordon's new restaurant to perfectly round out this center: It's been a long dusty loud road Flower Hill, but you made it. Cheers!

Playground with parakeets enclosure, and Starbucks and Whole Foods above

I've always loved coming to Flower Hill. I've been coming here since I was a kid-- I loved when my mom took me to the fairy store (no longer there). I've seen it go through lots of changes and different shops and cafes. Now I have my own baby and love taking him here. It's such a fun mall to visit with something for everyone. It's got cute boutiques, delicious restaurants, tons of cute photo ops, and fun things for kids. There's an adorable playground. Theres also a lego castle and a lifeguard tower for kids to climb in. There's lots of fun sensory things for kiddos on the playground. A few months ago there was a boat on the playground, now there's a train made out of wine barrels for kids to climb into. It's conveniently located in front of Gepetto's toy store (locally owned with great toys!). I almost always get something at Gepetto's since they have such cute stuff. There's a Starbucks and Whole Foods. Starbucks is right above the playground so it's great for parents (thanks for that! Haha). There's a beautiful enclosure with parakeets above the playground that my son is obsessed with. I love the stores Clothe and Arrow and Sweetpea Children's boutique. I love the restaurants Taste of Thai and Cucina Enoteca. There are lots of other great restaurant options including Burger Lounge, Venissimo Cheese and Wine, Richard Walker's Pancakes, Flower Child, Milton's, etc. There's tons of fun murals around the mall and interactive displays. Currently (Dec 2020) there is a tree where you can tie ribbons representing joy, peace, and hope. There's also a wall where you can write things that bring you joy. Currently there are lots of beautiful holiday touches including a huge, gorgeous Christmas tree. Plus there's plenty more here to enjoy! Something for every taste :)

At first glance, Flower Hill Promenade looks like a "typical" strip mall. First impressions couldn't be more deceiving! There are gourmet food and wine offerings, ample restaurants, beauty stores, pet shops, home decor stores, yoga studios, and clothing stores of all kinds-- men, women, children, maternity,etc. It's really wonderful! The outdoor feel is casual and classy at the same time. I feel lucky to live so close but, even if I didn't, I would find myself shopping here very often!

5 Stars - One of the Best Spots in Del Mar…read more Del Mar Plaza is one of those places that hits the sweet spot between coastal chill and upscale vibes. Every time I come through, the atmosphere is dialed in -- ocean views, clean walkways, and a lineup of shops and restaurants that feel curated instead of generic. The layout is open and breezy, with plenty of spots to grab a drink, get a bite, or just sit back and watch the sunset. Parking is surprisingly easy for the area, and everything feels safe, well-maintained, and inviting. Whether you're grabbing dinner with family, meeting clients, or just enjoying the day, this place always delivers. Great energy, great views, and a top-tier location. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Del Mar.

Whether you are in the mood for Monarch or a French pastry and a coffee, sit down or grab and go there are plenty of options. Within walking distance of the beach Del Mar Plaza is a great location where you can eat and go for a walk. A few of the locations offer happy hour during the week and most have a good selection of bites and drinks at decent a decent cost. There is plenty of parking (paid underground parking structure) and most everywhere we have gone the staff have always been great. It does get supper busy during the weekends and evenings especially during the Summer. If you're lucky you may even catch a show from some local musician's (including the very talented SOR students). Can't beat the view either!

They have a plethora of stores and restaurants but my favorites are definitely Sephora, Pigment and Salt & Straw. When in the mood to drink beer and whatnot, I love Hardland Brewery! The location at One Paseo is one of my top 5 faves. Parking is adequate. The recently installed a "Premier Paid Parking" option on the 1st level of the parking garage. You can easily just scan the QR code and pay - the only thing that's not cool about this is the minimum amount of hours they have is three hours. They need to have an option where it can be 1-2 hours. I've never stayed for three hours or longer here. However, there is free parking on multiple levels of the structure. Yesterday when I came during the day on a Thursday... It was quite packed! There are customer service of staff at Sephora, Pigment and Salt & Straw is amazing. They have a nice selection of stores such as Roark, Fjall Raven, Faherty, Lululemon, Marrow and more. As far as restaurants, they house North Italia, Jan's Health Bar (their smoothies are my fave esp the Chunky Monkey), Postino (great menu and happy hour menu), Nick's Del Mar, Shake Shack, Cava and more. My ultimate most favorite thing about this place is that it's extremely pet friendly! My favorite thing to do is after shopping I go get myself a scoop of ice cream at salt and straw and then sit and eat out on the sitting area outside with my dog. Pricing at One Paseo is anywhere from mid to moderate to high. my reason for my four star review instead of five is the premier paid parking. The three hour minimum isn't cool with me. Please have a 1 or 2 hour option. Overall, this is a nice place to go with a friend or a partner or family and a group of friends to just hang out and enjoy the day/night.

The Starbucks isn't too large BUT it has a drive thru which always seems very busy. Parking hasn't ever been an issue. There's plenty of it on most days.

This shopping center is close to the 5 freeway, Del Mar beaches, Torrey Pines, and the SD Fair (just an exit north).
