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.

We also visited Pet Food Express where we were able to pet a cute Corgi and visited the Macy nearby. I parked in the parking lot behind Nick's and depending when you go, you might have to pay or it will be free. Since I parked my car after 7pm on a Wednesday, it's free. I wasn't sure at first and tried paying at the parking machine and also through the mobile app but it wasn't working. It wasn't until I walked inside Pet Food Express and the worker let me know they stop enforcing the parking time limit after 5pm on weekdays.

I didn't even know there was a South Lake Avenue area in Pasadena until I saw the signs. I just…read morethought there are just shops along Lake Avenue. Anyway, I was at Susie's Cakes and happened to park in the back parking lot because there were no street parking available. Tons of parking in the back. You wouldn't think there are plenty of parking from the main street. There are pay parking stations. Please read the signs. Certain time limits are free. To me that's service from the city of Pasadena. Thank you!!! Otherwise, you'll have to pay for parking. Cost shouldn't be too bad though. There are actually a few blocks of shops and eateries that pertain to South Lake Avenue. Selections are fantastic. I haven't visited all of them. Here are a few mentionables... Susie's Cakes, Randy's Donuts, El Mendocino, Panda Express, and many more. Park close to where you'll be dining, shopping, and playing. Happy Shopping and Dining!!!

Have seen more people drive so fast in the parking lot, or open up the windows to scream at random people. fights also occurred at the parking lot once a while. There were also smash and grab years ago at some shops. (It was on the news) Most of the shops here are average At best even the department stores. Tons of Asian based toy stores. A 99 ranch super market. Some Asian based J and K beauty shops. A couple nice restaurants (but not high end). A big but always crowded Japanese book store (even more so crowded than the one in dtla). Typical clothing franchises. And a pretty regular food court. I never really thought this was a nice mall but now it feels like this place is giving more a ghetto vibe. I personally wouldn't come here often to celebrate /or host important events, unless necessary. I would avoid this place on the weekdays or holidays if you don't like crowds. Really, just a sub-standard mall But I think people just need a place to hang. Each to their own I suppose. Good luck people : )

I was visiting friends in SoCal and looked up things to see/do in nearby Pasadena. I read about…read moreBurlington Arcade and decided to see how it would compare to other London-inspired arcades I've been to in other countries. I arrived there in the afternoon and it was like a ghost town with only 1 shop open despite the time not yet even any way near 5:00 PM. Despite it being just a small, very short strip with its design, architecture, arches and the red phone booth reminiscent of the other larger London-inspired arcades I've seen in other countries, everything adds value to the charm of the area. The arcade's value lies in its ability to foster community engagement and provide nostalgic, screen-free entertainment for all ages within a vibrant public space. That being said, this little arcade definitely adds a unique value to this side of town! The selection of shops (despite their being closed) were varied.

The parking garage is $2 an hour (which seems reasonable) and very handy to the property. It was at night but I felt perfectly safe inside. The spaces are large enough for my SUV and the garage is well-lit and everything is labeled. The payment is made before getting into your car, which means you're not tied up trying to get out while the person ahead is fumbling for a credit card and can't figure out how to insert it correctly. It's a fine parking garage.
