I live in Irvine so when I'm in the area I like to stop in. Today I was here with a friend. Looked…read morelike the owner was there. She didn't greet us. She only spoke to my friend who asked where a mirror was. I was thinking of purchasing a sweatshirt but with the lack of guest service I decided not to today. In my opinion everyone who walks through the door should be greeted. These days it seems to be unless you buy something there's no service. I like the brands that the store carries as well as their branded merchandise. Maybe I'll try again next time I'm Laguna.

Me and my friend we just finished hiking and decided to grab breakfast from here. They notified…read morethat Sapphire opens up at 10am and that we can get breakfast from the cafe next door. Cute shop with all the breakfast fixings, drinks and parfait, salad boxes, sandwiches. We ordered breakfast tacos and burritos. Portion size was good and friendly staff. We were able to use the restrooms inside the Sapphire restaurant though they were setting up the place to open. Out door seats with plenty of heaters to enjoy the Laguna beach view.

Walking Louie along the upper bluff paths with a clean matcha is less about fitness and more about nervous system alignment. Observing the vast, uninterrupted ocean views against the raw texture of the cliffs provides a rare space for internal calibration. As a designer, my eye is constantly filtering the world for structure, flow, and understated elegance--and the quiet, sovereign energy of this sanctuary deeply informs that creative perspective. It isn't a place to be seen or to rush through. It is simply a private baseline of peace for those who appreciate moving through the world with absolute intention.

The center is great. My complaint is about the parking. Pulled up on a Friday evening to do a…read morereturn at Banana Republic. The parking lot was full with an army of cars circling looking for a spot. Javier's has about 100 spots roped off for their valet. I ended up having to pay the valet fee just to go shop. Won't be doing that again. I suppose a mid day weekday is the way to go but I'm soured on the whole place now.

It's a great place to spend some time in and explore, or get a last minute gift. The layout of the store and merchandising makes it easy to roam and get lost. It's great to have a store in town that can be a go-to for fun, trendy, and artsy gifts... some handmade and some not. As an artist, it's also a place to become inspired and as a shopper it's a place to just SHOP! This place saved me a lot of hassle when doing some last minute Christmas shopping. This particular block in town has become a walkable shopping zone... whereas in the past, there wasn't much worth a stroll. Twig is definitely a great addition!

I have never felt such poor customer service. The employees made me feel not only unwelcome but…read moreuncomfortable. I'm a curvy and a woman of color. Was it because I didn't fit their Laguna Beach profile? It's probably an assumption but I can't help but think that if they greeted and helped other people except for me. I even stood at the counter waited patiently to be helped and I was ready to spend money. And no one acknowledged me. They saw me. Such cute clothes but sadly terrible service. I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.

Immediately we were greeted by great smells, music & a really friendly & helpful AREO employee, Diane. As we roamed the store, & you have to roam slowly because there are so many cool things inside, each of us went our separate ways & got caught up in things that interested each one of us. Diane was kind enough to listen to my dad chat her up about Louis L'amore novels while the rest of us had grand times finding treasures. Thanks Diane. You're a gem.

Fashion Island is a higher end outdoor mall with some interesting shops and an amazing food court…read more The grounds are beautiful, and it can be fun to just walk around and check everything out. If you have young children, the koi pond with its giant koi fishing can be a huge hit, as there are stepping stones through the middle of the pond and the layout is just gorgeous. There are also several quite amazing water fountains that they'll love running around. Plus it can even give you an excuse to do so! Not to mention, there are numerous stores to visit, including a legendary three or four-story Restoration Hardware with ocean views, an Apple store, tons of boutique clothing shops, Nordstroms, and a few places to enjoy lunch. There is also a PF Chang's with ocean views. Don't forget the amazing gelato place either! It moved from its old location so check the map. It's still there. Service-wise, this is higher end so you can expect decent service wherever you're at. Overall five stars. This is an OC institution.

Update on HUGE cockroach infestation at Fashion Island (FI), Newport Beach…read more Went to FI this 2026 summer and after three summers, I am happy to report the cockroaches are gone. The Irvine company that owns and runs FI never responded to my emails requesting they rid their sewers of the infestation but finally they have acted and now, FI is clean and cockroach free. Hope it stays that way because it was so tragic to experience such a traumatic event year after year. Now they must act and remove the rats scurrying around between Lululemon and Macys. Rats are easier to eliminate than cockroaches but shame on FI for allowing rats to roam freely. Rats are so gross!!!
