Easy, free parking. Accessible by train and ferry, besides car. Many different delicious food choices from delis to Greek to fancier fare, and The Rustic Bakery, which is where we ate. There is ample outdoor dining in sun and shade, besides indoor dining. Since we arrived at different times, everyone enjoyed browsing through the bookstore, and window shopping around the center. The center is very kid and dog friendly and there are lots of areas and activities for kids to explore and enjoy. It is also clean. The reason for one star off: there is a vibe that all of us felt, and others have said the same thing about the shopkeepers and some staff. I was wearing a top from one of the stores and jeans from another shop there. I popped into each store and was ignored by everyone in the first place and watched as if I might shoplift in the other store. I had only my phone in my pocket and no bag at all. It was uncomfortable-making and I left both stores, which were understandably empty. The place is delightful as a location for walking around with kids and dogs. Lots of food options. But the stores are not as friendly as other locations of the same brands.

Back to Sunday, naturally, every Rivian & Tesla were here to shop the special deals, it was busy! So busy in fact, my register transaction was passed to another associate midstream. I already had waited a decent amount of time before the buck was passed, but then it took additional time to process the Anniversary discounts I had received. I was patient, but I doubt others shopping cosmetics would have been as gracious. In any case, I'm just influencer level, but I was gifted lots of nice discounts and samples; including $10 for the ZBar and $15 towards cosmetics. I am happy I found Osea algae body butter special 2 pack deal, super emollient and perfect for summer and winter skincare. Happy anniversary Nordy's. Thank you for all the goodies and carrying great labels.

Eileen Fisher outfits is that for me and Nordstrom is where I shop for it because unlike the EF store, at Nordstrom I can also buy bras and shoes in the same trip) Nordstrom has outfitted me through the many chapters of my life starting from my teen years. I continue to enjoy the consistent top tier customer service, wonderfully curated options in store, on site tailoring, and their generous return policy. I used to have a Nordstrom personal shopper. Then I was a member of The Trunk. Now I am considering the option to have Nordstrom brought to my home so I can try and buy things without going to the physical location. Stonestown and downtown SF used to be my primary stores. Now it's Corte Madera. This store is so well stocked, I almost never hear "I can order it online". I enjoy the instant gratification of taking my purchases home with me on the same day. The majority of my wardrobe was purchased at Nordstrom. I am a loyalist. PS: don't sleep on Nordstrom Rack at the Vintage Mall. If you aren't local, Nordstrom Rack online is so great for money saving designer options!

I am writing this review to complain about an extremely upsetting experience me and my 17 year old…read moredaughter had at the Lululemon store Corte Madera Ca, in the Village. I don't write reviews unless it's needed.. Let's make "Chris Famous!!! I went into the store to return items I never worn and had been kept in my closet. The manager Chris told me that he could not accept my return very loudly and rudely because the clothing supposedly had been worn what he had said at first , and then he says the clothing had an odor. Which one is it? He didn't even look at the items or my history. I felt Racially profiled before he opened his mouth. It was a horrible feeling. I was shocked and extremely offended by this accusation. My clothing has never been worn and my clothing does not have an odor, and I know these items have never been worn. What made the situation even more concerning was that immediately before me, I witnessed a young girl returning her items with the same manager. I observed her return being handled, and then when it was my, turn I was treated completely differently . The manager did not make any effort to understand my situation or asked any questions before making any decision. At that moment ,I felt racially profiled and discriminated against because the color of my skin. I cannot say with certainty what was in the manager's mind, but based on what I personally experienced and witnessed, I felt singled out and treated unfairly . I have a long history with Lululemon and, my history as a loyal customer speaks for itself. I have spent a significant amount of money with this company which makes this experience even more disappointing. I expect Lululemon to take this complaint seriously and investigate what happened at this location, review the circumstances surrounding this interaction, and address the manager's conduct appropriately. Customers should never leave a Lululemon store or ANY store feeling humiliated, disrespected or racially profiled.. The sad part my 17 year old baby girl had to experience this horrible experience. After reading all the Yelp reviews, Chris has a history of profiling people, and horrible customer service skills. He needs to be held accountable 2.9 reviews speaks volumes. I have video of him smiling as if the situation was a joke. I expect better from Lululemon

I had a great experience here. I did a return, and also browsed their sale section, which was quite expansive. I was able to find these really cute jeans in my size, that were an additional 50% off, although final sale. Their sale rack was very organized, and very plentiful. There was a whole room full of tops, and two racks of jeans. There were even more random sale items throughout the store, not in the sale section. I was quite surprised. I waited in line twice, once to return, and once to buy my jeans. Neither wait was long at all - just one person ahead of me, quite quick.

I didn't like the look in their eyes when they said that. But OK it's nobody's fault but mine because, as the Godfather Don Corleone explained , "I have a sentimental weakness for my children and I spoil them as you can see." In my earlier life I had failed as a packrat, instead preferring with each change of residence to send stuff to either Goodwill or the dump. So my kids needn't worry about their keepersakes. I'm unlikely to get rid of anything from my years as their mr family guy, being that for the most part their stuff is what little i have to remind me today of whatever it was I did before that. Not much to show for some 20 years as an itinerant... uh, itinerant. I don't learn from experience, just hope to get better results by repeating the same mistakes over and over and over and... which according to Einstein is the essence of insanity, but wtf did he know. I don't know either, but in my case it's a moot point anyway, at least according to the kind folks in Bellevue's 9.39 ward many years ago in nyc. But being much improved now, I have initiative: wake up, smell the coffee, put on a clean white shirt, get a haircut, shape up/ship out and similar happy horsesht, to wit: I was going to organize things for such day that I blow a fuse or something worse, and things will be in order. To make this happen I would pack everything in some nice plastic boxes, just like the winners in this world. Which is how I happened to visit the Container Store for the first time in my disorderly life. It's a bit intimidating to enter this place. There are so many different kinds of boxes, giving the sense that real people pack things up, neat and tidy in hermetically sealed, moisture impermeable, plastic storage boxes built for the ages. All this is an essential part of the good life. OK, but I just wanted something cheap, that wouldn't turn to dust like my old cardboard wine boxes have done after 50 years. Those are nice, free and simple to use with no selection to make, being that they're all the same size. Plus, you aren't likely to overload cardboard wine boxes when you've saving books or papers. Do that with a larger box and they're quite impossible to move without regretting it next morning getting out of bed. To keep on the sunny side of life, as I'm sure I almost always do, my approach is: can't figure how to solve your problem then ignore the problem. Is the Container Store where all my problems can be solved with the right plastic storage box? Really? Fortunately I did find just the right boxes, in the exact right sizes... the only question was what did they cost? It was my luck that the items I wanted had no prices anywhere, not on the shelf nor the items themselves, nor some sort of sandwich board on the pile in the middle of the store. I noticed this detail was missing on other items as well. Perhaps find someone to explain the pricing, but it won't be in a mere five minutes as store personnel are few in number. So I bought what I wanted having no idea what the total cost would be. But I knew that to be a minor issue with these boxes. The problem for me will be actually using them.
