It was pretty…read morebusy when I made the stop at Papa Gino's, considering it was the weekend and the time of day and year. Traffic for the most part was a bit stressful, moving around and finding a parking spot. Although that's not the main concern, it is well maintained. However, the main signage needs to be addressed on the board, as some big businesses are not named on it, for example, Papa Gino's, as I got lost finding it, along with other names. I saw some empty spots, so I hope it gets updated. A lot of great names to stop at here.

Pick your poison, you can do you food shopping, shop for clothing (Marshall's, office supplies (Staples) along with plenty of other choices. Need a bite after all that shopping, grab a quick bite at Subway, or sit down at Ruby Tuesday and relax for a bit.

I have not yet visited the new Mandarin which is located where the Boston Market used to be, but the pictures I've seen show that they have done quite a nice job renovating the space. Still a good shopping plaza.

Even though there are a few good stores in the Stallbrook Marketplace, I have some MAJOR…read morecomplaints. The Stallbrook Marketplace is a smaller shopping center filled with about 10 stores and restaurants along Route 126 (Hartford Avenue) in the north section of Bellingham. Restaurants in this complex consist of: McDonald's, Subway (in Walmart), and Moe's. Stores in this complex consist of: Market Basket, Walmart, Staples, Barnes&Noble, GameStop, Douglas Wines & Spirits, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Overall, in the shopping aspect, there really aren't that many great places to go. My favorite spot in this plaza is by far the Barnes&Noble, it would be nice if Market Basket moved to a larger spot and decided not to contribute to making the traffic situation of this plaza a mess. I guess the Walmart is pretty good too..... might be worth checking out. So, yes, this plaza's traffic situation is a complete MESS. No, it may not be as bad as some other shopping centers, but there are tons better (like both the Charles River Centre and Crossroads, both only feet away). WS Development (who owns this complex) decided it would be a good idea to put a 4-way stop at one of the main intersections in the parking lot. This regularly causes HUGE backups to the Hartford Ave light and really doesn't work. Additionally, the lot is ALWAYS full due to Market Basket. If you're going to Staples or Barnes&Noble be prepared to walk pretty far. Same with Walmart.... always busy (it's like these people haven't been there ever before). I, and I'm sure others, prefer the newer way things are developed with parking on the sides of buildings. For now, make sure if you decide to go ANYWHERE in the Stallbrook Marketplace, go on WEEKDAYS! Otherwise, you will be in a traffic mess for no reason. Plus, a lot of the stores in this plaza have other nearby locations if you do need to go on a weekday (Staples in Milford is close and has a HECK of a lot better lot and same with Market Basket in Ashland). Overall, this plaza is really just average in terms of stores, but WAY under-average in terms of development style. It'll be a breath of fresh air once the Shoppes @ Bellingham opens...... 3 stars.

I think that this place makes very good food and I love the cookies! Thanks so much Panera staff!read more
