Some prompts from Google indicate that it is a larger area than it actually is. It is the original Bullock's department store in Pasadena. It has great historical and architectural significance. This area was developed to be a leisurely place to enjoy community, shopping, food. It was a new concept design specifically for this area. It is a walkable and enjoyable experience to shop and eat in this area. Now that it is Macy's they have continued to develop small boutique stores located alongside the lower edge of the building along Lake. Some of the small boutique stores have changed. The new stores have become very popular. Foundation stores like Trader Joe's and The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf keep bringing in new customers. It is important to check opening hours for the different stores as they vary from store to store. Parking is available in the Macy's parking lot adjacent. I believe it's 3 hours parking but double check always the printed signs. The last time I walked by the area I was impressed at the generational diversity. Nice to realize that some of the historic influences of the past are being carried on by a new generation. When visiting this is a great place to consider. It gives you a good foundation for understanding how Pasadena developed its friendly atmosphere. Look forward to coming back often!

I got a chance to offer my patronage to Trader Joe's and See's Candies (seasonal store) in the past and Ewerhon most recently. It's not just a standard retail shopping center, but an elevated version with a relaxing atmosphere surrounded by quaint patios, great selection of unique stores, variety of specialty shops, and good handful of casual + fine dining options. It's the next level shopping and dining experience you will remember. The sophisticated ambiance creates intrigue, wonder, and delight for visitors from all around near and far. Come enjoy the cool restaurants, fun shopping, spectacular dining and outdoor seating that you may not find anywhere else! Don't forget to check out both north and south shops. Btw, free parking is available located closer to Erewhon.

Tons of parking available. They have some fun shops and great eateries such as Trader Joe's, Kohl's, Panera Bread, Ike's (by the way, they just opened 3 months ago), Chase Bank, and so much more. From the main street of Huntington Drive, it doesn't seem that huge... maybe it's because the shops are deep in and not closer to the street... who knows. Now that Ike's is here, I'll be visiting it more often when I'm in the Arcadia area. This shopping center is actually located in the city of Monrovia (neighbor of Arcadia) which I don't visit frequently except for driving through it as I'm leaving Arcadia on surface street. Huntington Drive is a long stretch through several cities and it just has so many plazas and shopping centers on its course. I actually enjoy my drive through LOL. Thank you! Anyway, drop on by here and enjoy an afternoon of fun shopping and good eats.

The atmosphere is fantastic, with outdoor seating where you can enjoy a coffee, get some work done, or just hang out and relax.

Parking lot isn't huge, but for the number of tenants, I guess it's decent.

Honestly, I don't know if I'll be back here again unless it's for Vallarta. The other biz aren't of interest to me at this time. Just being honest.
