I love everything about the Mosaic District! The selection of stores and restaurants, the aesthetics, the fact that unlike it's counterparts in the area (specifically looking at you Fairfax Corner) there is always ample parking...absolutely everything. What a wonderful addition to what used to be a boring area! read more

A couple of visits to this area and gotta say it is a cool place to chill and hang out at. Been to B Side, JINYA and Target. Need to try out the other shops and restaurants next time around. Great scenic area to walk around at. Always have a very good time going here with my friends whenever we get a chance to meet up in the VA area, especially near Tyson's Corner. read more

Mosaic - Mosaic District, photo taken by Michael - Shopping Centers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

The management of this development complex continues to disappoint, despite the many great options of this town center. The shuttles will stop at corners and block traffic (see pic) despite not picking up or dropping off passengers. If you try to go around them, you risk getting into an accident as it's almost impossible to see cars turning in. I'be even had one of their shuttle drivers get out and yell after me after I honked at him to get him to move. Also, there is only one sign in the modern lower level garage that informs you of overnight towing that is near impossible to see. I've been towed without knowing since the sign is easily blocked by traffic coming out of the garage. How hard is it to put up signs on each level? I guess they have a deal with the towing company to make a little extra on the side. read more

Mosaic - Shopping Centers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Because of it's convenient location (near 66, 395, and 495), the Mosaic Center has become the unofficial meeting spot for friends and family members alike. It's our one stop shop for good eats, drinks, shopping, and good weather strolls. They have a huge (fake) grassy knoll right outside the movie theatre where they often play outdoor movies for families to enjoy. We recently took the kiddo out here with her little walker and I have never seen the babe have so much fun. There was so much space for her to walk around and people to see. She had a blast! I'm addicted to Four Sisters, Oath Pizza, Cava, Target, Anthropologie, Paper Source, Mom's Organic, Dolcezza and Red Apron Butcher so honestly I never get tired of visiting. Parking is ample if you know where to look and their farmers market on Sundays is one of the best in the area (plus it runs until 2 which is great for late risers like myself). If you're looking for a photo with Santa and don't want to pony up $40 bucks for semi professional photos they have a Santa set up that you can visit for free and capture photos with your own camera. I've always loved this place but now that I have a family I can appreciate it even more! read more

Neighborhood has kind of gone downhill since it's become so popular. I don't really mind the crowds as much as I dread seeing the packs of fifty Saudi guys who race up and down the streets every night. When they finally find a parking spot, they just chain smoke and loiter while cussing people out in Arabic. When I walk my dog in the mornings, occasionally I get to see the mosaic before the cleaning crews have had a chance to clean and it's insane the amount of trash and cigarette butts I see everywhere. read more

Such a beautiful and modern place that gives off California vibes during the summer. Some people weren't wearing masks here so please be safe and wear a mask read more

It's always a fun event when I come down this way. Cute shops and plenty to eat. Relax with the kids, watch a film, sit out on the lawn drink some coffee watching the Bboys a Bgirls dance. I enjoy coming here read more

Mosiac is just a mall, only outside rather than inside. Not much shade and hot as hades in July. The same stores that are everywhere are here. The directory numbers do not match the store numbers. Certainly not a "destination" place. Stephanie Kayden read more

I love the Mosaic District! If it weren't for the fact that it is 20 miles from my home, I'd shop here often. The shops here are great, but as I said it's a long way to come when I can go to Le Pain Quotidien, sweetgreen, Dolcezza Gelato (You must try their Salted Caramel gelato), Cava, Taylor Gourmet, Lou Lou, and Ginger in Bethesda which is only two miles away. What Bethesda doesn't have is Timothy Paul. OMG, I want to rip up all my carpeting and buy all my rugs from here. The selections here are the kinds of things you see people pinning all over Pinterest! And then there's Artisan Confections, because a girl can never have too much chocolate. The thought is insane! Speaking of chocolate, stop by MOM's for a tasting or twelve. They have chocolate! The fair trade/do the world a favor kind. Lastly, while I didn't see a movie at the Angelika Film Center & Cafe, I did try their spicy curried nuts which are fantastic. Much better than goobers. P.S. Parking is always FREE! And there's LOTS of it! read more

A nice area to meet up with friends. Lots of dinning options, shops, and a movie theatre. The Target parking garage is great, though it gets packed in here, we always manage to find a spot. Street parking is also available. I appreciate that parking is free. Some of my favorite places to visit at the Mosaic are: Artisan Confections (delicious chocolates), Capital Teas, Target, MOM's Organic Market, CAVA Mezze Grill, Dolcezza (delicious gelato), Matchbox, Taylor Gourmet, Sisters Thai, and Ted's Bulletin. read more

I found myself at the Mosaic District when I ended up staying at a hotel right at the heart of this little shopping district. I have to say that I really enjoyed this place for shopping and dining. I liked walking around here and window shopping and seeing all the cute shops. Among the shops is a Neiman Marcus, anthropologie, Alex and Ani and a gigantic Target! The Target is huge and you actually have to take an escalator up to get to the main floor. I also liked how the Mosaic District has a variety of places to dine from classic chains like True Food Kitchen and Le Pain Quotidien to Virginia unique favorites like Four Sistera; there jus seemed to be food for every type of tastebud. I tried out Vietnamese cuisine at Four Sisters Restuarant, Thai cuisine at The Sisters Cafe and had coffee and pastries at Dolcezza. If I had more time during my stay or if I ever find myself again, I think I would also like to check out the Angelika Film Center. I couldn't help but notice this big movie theatre while walking around. All in all, I found Mosaic District is nice place to shop, dine and simply enjoy life. read more

I love skating here, security is chill about my board. Usually pretty busy. I love the mural art and the paintings everywhere read more

Mosaic - Shopping Centers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

I've been here a few times and have a sort of love/hate relationship with this place. Lets start with the bad, the hate. The main thing about this place that makes me crazy is the parking and getting into this place. I normally come in off of Gallows road and in veritably there is a traffic jam trying to turn into one of the nearby garages. Why? Because the roads are only wide enough to allow to cars to pass through and each time I've come there is someone who has their hazards on and is parked blocking entry which then backs things up. Also I feel like its the Indy 500 in the garages with people flying through turning and not slowing down enough to see if someone is coming through. Also I tend to park in the Target garage and for some reason the sign on one of the levels was full but it was only 1/3 occupied. For this I give it 1 star. Now onto the love part, there's a great variety of shops and restaurants here depending on what you're in the mood for and it seems like new stuff is being added to the mix each time I come (although its not too often so I might be off base, since I'm not a regular). Also the Target here is nice, basically what you'd expect from any other Target although this one is more vertical. Each time I've been here it always seems like its around dinner time, I'd like to come explore during the day and walk around so I think that might be something I need to do. For this I give it 5 stars for the variety of shops and dining here and the fairly easy walking once you've finally managed to park. So that love/hate averages to a 3 star review. read more

Merrifield never had a downtown back in the day. So they figured they'll just build one. Well it's certainly got all the things you could want in a shopping center. Movie theatre? Yes. Coffee shop? Yes. Department store? Yes. Restaurants? Of course! Courtyard for activities? Absolutely! Large crowds and traffic? Unfortunately. Not sure if they have any of these but laser tag, a cigar shop, bowling, and a music shop would make this awesome. If they have them already, even better. If not, call Ted Mosby and design add ons to this joint. Mosey to the Mosaic! You'll find something you're looking for! read more

Great area! You can find anything in a short distance. They will have a farmers market on weekends soon. Variety: Awesome! Fashionable clothes, fresh organic groceries and seafood, cool interior stuff,... Event: Yoga, farmer's market, etc... Parking: Free. Location: Fabulous! Lulu lemon, Mom's, Target, Last call, etc.. read more

I love this new area because there is so much to do. I can shop at Target to Neiman Marcus Last Call Studio. My dining choices are plentiful and you catch a movie at the Angelika movie theater. Not only that but their is Yoga on the lawn and you can even watch TV outside the movie theater. Also as noted by others. Free parking!!! read more

Somehow, someone managed to sit down a bunch of owners of the fanciest, the hipsterest, and the greenest business in the area, the sort you'd normally only find close in to the city, and convince them all to open up locations in this suburban shopping center. They also managed to build a huge new complex with abundant free parking and fantastic looking infrastructure. Normally, people go from suburbia into the city, but this place has enough going on that I will occasionally drive all the way out from the city just to sample the goings on. I could drive over to Union Market and get a lot of the same things, actually, including Angelika, Dolcezza, and a MOM's nearby. But getting to Mosaic doesn't take that much longer, and there are less potholes on the way, and the facilities are bigger and nicer out here. And so could I walk to the U Street/Logan Circle area and find a Matchbox and another Dolcezza, or to Columbia Heights for Target and Cava Grill, but Mosaic has all these and more in the same place. And it seems that plenty of other people are on board this whole Mosaic thing; the businesses are usually well attended. For all the disasters and monstrosities of suburbia, it seems like we have a winner here. read more

I give the Mosaic shopping center a solid 3.5 stars! I think this place is great on a nice spring day where the sun is shining and weather is perfect. It's an awesome place to chill and people watch. We recently came here because we were in the area and it was recommended to me by fellow yelper Lisa H!! There are quite a few stores that are tailored for specific needs like high end clothing options, specialty teas, and an eclectic grocery store and everything else in between. We visited the following stores: Ah Love Oil & Vinegar, Artisan confections, Fresh bikes, Madewell, New Balance and Target to name some. This target is a little bit different because it's much larger than normal ones and it's located on the top floor of one of the buildings and has a great view of the center of shopping center! Most of the stores didn't really cater to any of our needs/wants that day but it was still fun to just go into some stores we don't have back in RVA and just walk around and window shop. I think the highlight of our visit here was getting those inventive pop tarts from Teds! We got the Salted Caramel and it was the perfect afternoon snack for us; it was delicious and not overly sweet or salty and I would get this again and again. Street parking can be very hard to come by, but so was the deck parking so you just have to be patient on the weekends. read more

Totally love and appreciate the Mosaic district. It came to the neighborhood at just the right time. Offering lots of reasonably priced food, a little entertainment, and a good amount of lower and higher end shopping opportunities, this is a great place to spend a weekend day. The free movies and yoga at the park, splash pad, and even broadcasting of major events (hello World Cup) can turn the grassy knoll in front of the movie theater in to an outing with 200 of your closest friends fast. Other fun things about Mosaic are the rolling piano you'll find in various spots depending on the day, along with the giant chess board in front of Cyclone's. (Anyone teach chess lessons? Asking for a friend.) I heard someone next to me at one of the shops describe Mosaic as a mini Bethesda. I'm not sure I've been to Bethesda... But if that's not a compliment, I don't know what is!

Mosaic remains my favorite shopping center in this area. They call it an "urban retail development," which is nothing short of the truth. This retail center has certainly livened up an otherwise fairly dull Dunn Loring/Fairfax area. There are shops to browse, restaurants to dine, a beautiful theater, and lots of happening events. DINE: From Cava Mezze Grill to Dolcezza, Mosaic has an eclectic offering of food. There's Sweetgreen for salad lovers, Le Pain Quotidien for breads and simple boulangerie fare, Matchbox Vintage Pizza for pizza, Red Apron Butcher for "haute" dogs, Taylor Gourmet for sandwich enthusiasts, and much more. Of course, there's Dolcezza, one of my favorite gelaterias. SHOP: Of course, there's Anthropologie, Neiman Marcus Last Call Studio, and South Moon Under. But there's also Langford Market for those who like Anthropologie but can't afford too much Anthropologie in their closet, Alex and Ani, Lou Lou, and even a MOM's organic market. There's also a huge Target for your everyday needs. There's also Artisan Confections for chocolate lovers, Ah Love Oil & Vinegar, Swirl & Sip, Paper Source (!!), Capital Teas, and more. Like I mentioned (and I have a separate review), Angelika is a beautiful, sleek, upscale movie theater. They used to stream episodes of the Walking Dead here on Sunday nights for free (first-come, first-serve), which was pretty neat. You can select your seats when you buy your tickets so no more having to stake out seats. Mosaic also offers many free events. They have Yoga in the Park and Films in the Park (on the lawn outside of the theater called Strawberry Park), Stories from Strawberry Park (storytelling time in the Angelika lounge), and Mosaic Central Farm Market, to name a few. Another cool thing about Mosaic is that occasionally they'll roll out pianos that say "Play Me." I think they did a great job of developing Mosaic. Prior to Mosaic, I used to come here only for Four Sisters, Chipotle, or Noodles & Company. Nowadays, there's so much more to see and do. Mosaic has brought in more businesses and people and everytime I come here, it's always busy. Even so, I've never had any issues finding parking. There are two several-stories-high parking garages and some street parking too, all for free. The best thing about Mosaic is that it's new and chic but also affordable. read more

While in the area on a weekday morning, we stopped in for breakfast.... This place has an amazing breakfast menu! Lots of really yummy-looking main dishes on their menu for breakfast!! The items we chose were perfectly prepared and tasted amazing! Service was decent, nothing special nor over-the-top. The restaurant is interesting in how it's decorated and setup, rather nostalgic with Andy Griffith and I Love Lucy playing on the TVs throughout. Open/exposed kitchen and a "soda counter" style ice cream counter. Overall, we really liked it and would definitely return! read more

I've recently moved within walking distance of Mosiac. It's bad. It's real bad. I am constantly tempted by amazing restaurants and fun shopping and Target. Let's not discount how amazing it is to be able to walk to Target. read more

Let me start off by saying that I'm very impressed with their new editions! They've given this place a much needed revamp since their old multiplex days. Mosaic is my go-to spot every time I'm in town. I prefer Mosaic over DC and other shopping districts. Navigating and parking is rarely an issue and there's something to do for everyone. When the weather warms up, they have free outdoor movies and yoga. They have a solid lineup of restaurants, fitness studios, shopping and more businesses are scheduled to open. I was surprised to see that there's a Lululemon now. Oh the times have changed. Looking forward to seeing their expansion next time I'm in town! read more

This is a nice area! Lots of restaurants and shops to choose from! Many of the restaurants had patio seating as well. There's also a grassy area where couples or families can chill and bring a blanket and just "people watch"! We saw kids tossing balls around and there's also a little splash area so little ones can cool off on a hot day! There's plenty of free garage parking and attached to the garage is a huge Target! Also there's a movie theater right in the middle of everything! Looks like they are expanding the area because there were also shops and restaurants further past the theater I had never noticed before! You should visit..especially on a nice evening! :) read more

I really like it at Mosaic. It's super cool and has lots of fun things to do for everybody.

Mosaic is a cool place. Too bad on nice nights a group of high-end cars drive up and down the street revving their engines so loud it scares everyone. I thought Saturday night was there was a one-off. Turns out this happens when the weather is nice. Strange times. read more

Love! I came a few months ago, and I loved this place, and I finally dragged my family back. The one thing I kept comparing it to with my husband was a cooler, newer, bigger Reston Town Center. Lots of outside seating, fun restaurants, cute little boutiques, and freaking Target!! If anything has a Target, I'm in! We walked around for awhile before grabbing a bite to eat, but I sort of regret not grabbing some snacks from Target and chilling in the AstroTurf by the movie theater screen and just eating a little picnic lunch there. A saw several people doing that, and I think it would have been fun. I think it was poor planning to not include some kind of small jungle gym, tot lot, or playground. There was TONS of families here. A little area to play would have been appreciated. Maybe there is one, and I just missed it? I don't know! I'll have to go back and visit again. This is an awesome place for spring and fall. I image, because it's outside with little shade, it's brutal in summer and impossible in winter. But in early spring when we went, it was awesome! As far as I know, free parking in the lots on the weekend. I don't know about weekdays. read more

I absolutely adore mosaic! Lots of great food options, shopping, entertainment venues, and a cool place to just walk around and enjoy the beauty of the square. This location is a must visit when it's sunny out, especially in the summer! read more

I was told to come to this location by many people because the Tyson's location didn't have the same positive vibe... I came in after work just to try on a few things. All the employees were super helpful and so friendly! They went out of their way to help me. I would definitely recommend this location! I will be back for sure!! read more

I love the mosaic district!! Of course, like everyone, I look forward to it opening up again. But it's nice that most restaurants are at least open for takeout right now. But the one thing that drives me crazy about it Is that big wonderful movie screen in the center of all the action! It has so much unmet potential!! They show the same advertisements over and over and over and over and over again! And then that clip about the Washington Nationals winning the championship! That's all they show all day long! Why can't they show anything new? A movie, the news, anything!! I have tried writing to them several times but they never respond. It should be an exciting vibrant place like Times Square. I hope someday they can hire some new people who can turn the Mosaic District into what it should be. Even when they had special events, they were always the same. The same vendors, the same set up, nothing unique or different. Maybe because I'm at the Mosaic District everyday I see this. I guess if you just come once or twice a year you would never notice. But I do hope it can someday be all that it can be!! read more

They offer so many free events and this places is still building new places to eat and shop. It's a nice place to relax, be outside and very family friendly. Parking is murder though other then that this is a fun place to eat drink and be merry. read more

Mosaic - May Movies at Strawberry Fields - Shopping Centers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

Clothing shopping, organic super markets, a butcher (!!), a fish monger, a deli, a tea shop, a gelato bar, an olive oil and vinegar shop, many different types of restaurants, and the best movie theater I've visited in ages. What's not to love? It's been a year now since I first stumbled upon this neighborhood, and it's charm has only grown. You can literally see this gem being born as they finish the building retail space. The number of activities that are held every week is staggering. Cultural fairs, yoga on the park (Thursdays and Sundays), movies on the green Fridays (a different theme each month, we are wrapping up the children's movie month), concerts broadcast Saturdays, Farmers Market every Sunday, and cartoons to go with your coffee Saturday mornings. The quirks are the best parts. Oversized chess set, jumbo park bench that seats 10 (?), giant outdoor tv screen, and random blue pianos that are set outside sometimes from the theme "Play me, I'm yours." They have won me over. read more

This is a hidden gem with plenty of shops and restaurants for all! They have both independent and chain establishments, so something for everyone's fancy. To me this is a laid back shopping experience, not the hustle of a traditional mall. It seems to always be clean and well maintained, and is very aesthetically pleasing for an outdoor shopping area. There are at least two free parking garages...always a bonus. There is an independent theater here as well. Sometimes they show movies on a big outdoor screen during shopping hours. There are a few restaurants here I can wait to try out. I'm excited to try out Mozaic at night! read more

Mosaic - Charging my i3 I called Chappie. Came back to see another one (white) next to me! - Shopping Centers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

This is an interesting area, albeit, very inorganic. I like how nice and built up everything is. There's a movie theater, tons of retail and mixed-use properties, and more. Unfortunately, the dearth of available parking creates a kerfuffle for prospective visitors. I'd probably come back and try one of the many restaurants, but I am in no rush. read more

So, about this place. I kinda dig it. Its got pretty little shops that make you feel special when you walk in. If you are looking for a place to feel cool this is it. The great thing about this place is its still kind of a seacret. So that means that it isnt over croweded with people and teenagers. Of course that wont last too long, and once it starts to draw more attention, it might not be that great of a place anymore. But as for the shopping. Evne if you dont like shopping you will because everythign is just so nice to look at. You will buy stuff and realize when you got home it looked better in the store but thats ok because you took a piece of your asthetic dreams with you. But seriously, this is a pretty nice place. The shops are cool and the restaurants look like they could have good food. I will be trying one this evning with a friend and hopefully it taste as good as this little neighborhood looks. read more

Mosaic - Shopping Centers Near Me - Fairfax, Virginia

There is no band wagon for me to jump on here. I simply do not like this area ... AT ALL! I can't explain it... there is something that really irritates the shit out of me about it. I don't know if it is the hipster chain stores or the uppity chain restaurants that are settled here -- I'm talking to you True Food Kitchen. I feel the same about the Mosaic District as I do about Union Market in DC. To me, it is for yuppie suburbanites. Maybe, just maybe, I will go buy that $15 spoon at Anthropologie, or even better - I will go get that $8 half pint of soy milk at Mom's Organic. I see this being the stay at mom's oasis. They come here during the day when their full time nanny is laboring over her 3 kids -- this is her escape from the madness. She can spend her cheating husband's money and drown in her sorrows on useless nonsense. Let's be honest here -- Mosaic offers a lot of that. If I have to hear 'farm to table', organic, or free range anything -- I will throw a brick at the movie theatre. Futuristic or not, this is an overdone urban development that can go shove it. Whatever! I'm over it. PS Free parking.... yay. read more
