Fun afternoon! Great candy shop. Would recommend for window shopping or if you would like to buy something, though it's a bit pricy but you can find some stuff for a good price. Especially at the farmers market there is a booth where you can make your own soda and although the line was long it moved quickly and had a great result. I strongly recommend the farmers market for a cheaper selection of food and fun drinks. read more

My non-LA pilled brain keeps mixing this one up with the Americana but it makes sense since they're allegedly designed by the same people. I don't think I go out of my way to visit the Grove, considering the distance and the difficulty of getting parking. Huge crowds, have to pay for parking, and even if you walk farther away, it's a risk to get towed and there's metered parking too that hit a 2 hour maximum, at least the last time I went there. Aside from accidentally wandering in here or being here for a specific event (seeing Yoshiki over a decade ago or the 20th anniversary Rilakkuma pop up, which was absolutely fisted with people), I've only wandered here on accident when hanging out with friends elsewhere. There's a good number of shops and eateries though, especially since it sort of shares the space/is right next to the Farmer's Market (great open area to go shop and to go dine). Large overlap of the same shops and eateries as the Americana, but there's things there that we don't have in Glendale. Lot of higher end businesses. Big fan of the La La Land Kind Cafe and what they do, their drinks, and their aesthetic. It's not a bad outdoors mall, considering how "fancy" it is, the fact that it's outside in the California sunshine, and the fountain with the Bellagio style musical water shows, but just know that the parking can get hideous. read more

Had a very disappointing experience with parking at The Grove. I came to shop and dine, arrived at 12:52 PM and left at 2:57 PM -- literally just a few minutes over the 2-hour validation limit from Gap, where I made purchases. Despite being a paying customer spending money at your stores and restaurants, I was charged the full $15 parking fee. Now that's not the first time that the validation is not working or applied!!!! But now what ? You will go back to the store after walking to your parking floor?!? This policy feels unreasonable and excessive. Customers who come to support the businesses at The Grove should not be penalized with outrageous parking charges over a few minutes. Situations like this discourage people from shopping and dining there. There should be a grace period or a reduced fee for customers who slightly exceed the validation time, especially when they are actively spending money on the property. Very disappointing customer experience. read more

The Grove - Shopping Centers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The Grove is definitely one of the finer open malls in Los Angeles County and since its right next to the original Farmer's Market you kinda have to partially review them both, but this review is mostly about The Grove. It is not a huge mall but very compact, almost in a large circular area. Parking is a bit tough, so get there early. There is parking as well down a block or two from the Du-Pars restaurant which is right at the end of Farmer's Market. The Grove has a big mixture of high end stores as well as your major typical shops and eateries. Some of the places we have eaten at are Alma's Mexican, The Cheesecake Factory, and Sogno Toscano Italian. You cannot go wrong with either. This past week we decided on the Cheesecake Factory for brunch. The landscaping and architecture of the Grove is beautiful with a central fountain. They even have a movie theatre. But, if you are coming to the grove, make sure to check out Farmer's Market. There must be 50 specialized shops in there from Huntington Meats to Dylan's Candy. The Grove is a really cool place to visit, walk around, shop and eat. read more

This place is close to The Original Farmers Market. Shops are pricey, but this is a tourist destination. Lots of eateries and stores, a movie theater, and even a trolley! There is a Nordstroms, Coach, a Cheesecake Factory, and many bougie boutique shops, a wide selection of stores to shop. Most stores are more of the higher end products, but hey, this is Hollywood. There is outdoor dining near the fountain which is on display prominently in the middle of the outdoor mall. Service is great depending which store you go to. My only gripe is the parking situation. DON'T COME ON THE WEEKENDS. TOO BUSY. read more

The Grove - Shopping Centers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

"Great Grandson" of the iconic Original Farmers' Market, this immaculate respite from the ever-declining City of Los Angeles shines as a bright light of the enduring superiority of capitalism and the brilliant leadership of Rick Caruso. Clean and safe, with pleasant high ends shops and pretty public spaces, all are welcome here in this melting pot of LA's wonderful diversity. Only excluded are gangs, addicts, their dealers, social agitators and all others who wreak havoc elsewhere in the city. read more

I love the Grove; it has two sections. The older section has the Farmers Market, where you can purchase Fruits, Vegetables, Nuts, Hot sauces, cooked food, and candy--so many delicious foods and knick-knacks. The newer part of the Grove has all the modern restaurants with an amazing view of the fountain. Some of the restaurants have upstairs seating which gives you a nice view of the Grove. If you never been here you must come at least once. The Grove has AMC Theatre, Barnes and Noble book store, Zephora Cosmetic, Clotjing stores, Nordstroms. Sees Candy and much more. Will definitely be back. read more

They have everything here I love Nike Nordstroms all that!!! I come here at times and I'm never disappointed!!! They have good selections at the stores and good deals when it is sales!!! Very good customer service and easy to find the stores. They have pretty much everything here a good restaurants, and the farmers market section. He also had a movie theaters here too if you want to see a movies. This is a very good mall that is outdoor that kind of reminds you of Americana but slightly different. I always get good deals out of Zara and the Nike store. Very good place to go to in the summer too with the bomb ambience. -Marshay D. read more

The weather was awesome, and I had business right on the outer perimeter of The Grove going to the key place I detailed in another review. Once that business was taken care of, I decided to mosey about as it was the first time here in quite a long time. Since Chinese New Year is among us, The Grove were sure to point attention to that and paid homage to the Year of the Fire Horse. Went inside most of the big stores such as apple, nike, nordstrom, cheesecake factory and a few others. The only drawback today was I didn't see the little train or trolley in operation but I could have missed it or it could have been taking a break. Overall this shopping center has pretty much anything any adult, team, or kid would want. I was just happy to be out and about. The CSA or customer service all star of this experience is pictured. A true ambassador, he was kind enough to answer a few questions I had for him amidst the crowd as well as in these trying times since war has broken out. Quite naturally, he's got to be on guard and keep alert for any suspicious activity, so I didn't want to keep him too long. read more

The Grove has become a must go to visit place in Los Angeles. It's trendy, it's still quite new and well kept, and it seems very Los Angeles, culturally. There are many benches to sit. People watching us normal because there's so many people there. I enjoy sitting around the LaLa Land area, sipping my coffee. Very trendy little walkway leading to a parking lot and the property management company. Lots of eateries, shopping, and a Farmers Market. I'd say aside from the shopping boutiques, Nordstrom and the Apple Store are probably the pillars of the Grove... and perhaps the AMC Theater as well. Parking on weekends are hectic. It's not cheap. Even after my Nordstrom validation after a purchase, I still had to pay $15. I'm not sure how much it might cost without validation, but probably x3 of my cost. However, it really depends on how long you stay there. One problem I saw was people bringing their pets, and not cleaning after them. There was a poignant smell around the grass area and LaLa Land. Unfortunately, people step on the dog stuff, and it makes it a bigger problem. Very unsanitary. I think there should be a rule about pets, and a penalty especially for not cleaning up after them. Overall, the Grove is beautiful. Great Los Angeles experience, and decent eateries. Preferably I rather go during the week when it's less hectic. read more

The Grove is always a vibe! Especially beautiful during the holidays. The store selection isn't as extensive as Glendale Galleria, but it's still a nice spot to visit every now and then. H&M & Zara finally opened up haha. Love Arabica Coffee there; much better than waiting in line at La La Land. I like their AMC too. Parking can get expensive if you're there over a few hours & I don't think there are many validation options. read more

The beautiful shopping area in LA, filled with truly something for everyone! From LaLa Land cafe for coffee, to pressed juice, to the new Revolve store, there is a store, or dining option for everyone at any time of the day. A worker at the Grove told us there is something for someone who likes to drink, something for kids, and something for those who love to shop. The selection is top tier with both high end stores and stores that may be more for everyone! read more

The Grove is always a vibe especially during the holidays when everything is beautifully decorated. The store selection isn't quite as extensive as other shopping outdoors , but it's still a great spot to visit every now and then for shopping, walking around, and enjoying the atmosphere.

Visited the Grove mid-December mainly for the Jellycat Pop Up and was so happily surprised to see even MORE pop ups. We went through a Spotify, Direct TV, and Bailey's pop up that gave us lots of free goodies! The Grove honestly is such a great place to shop and eat at. I have been there multiple times and have eaten at Din Tai Fung nearby! Just be prepared as crowds can get big since it's a popular destination! read more

If it wasn't for the pricey parking fee at the grove, I would go much more frequently! Walking around the grove especially with the holiday decorations is so nice compared to the other malls around the area, like Beverly Center. I'm not sure if it's because it's an outdoor mall...it's just pleasing to the eyes. They also decorate according to the seasons. I also like how they let you walk around even when the stores are closed. Their trolley doesn't run all the time so make sure to check the hours if you are going for that! They have good shops from all price range and frequented by people of all ages! The only thing is they don't have a food court like malls usually do, but there's restaurants with all kinds of options like sushi, pizza, burgers, steak throughout the grove. read more

The Grove - Setting up for Christmas - Shopping Centers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The Grove during Christmas is pure magic. I don't throw that word around lightly, but this place genuinely feels like you stepped into a holiday movie set. The lights, the giant Christmas tree, the music, the energy, everything just hits at once. It's one of those rare LA spots where you can go on a date night, a family outing, or even solo and still feel like you're part of something special. You do not need to spend money to have a good time here either. Walking around, people watching, soaking in the atmosphere alone is worth the trip. That said, here's a little pro tip that makes the experience even better. If you plan on eating, grab food somewhere on property and get your parking validated so you don't pay for parking at all. Sometimes, if you're lucky and catch the right attendant or business, they'll validate even without a purchase, but I wouldn't rely on that. Parking itself is very straightforward. There's the main structure connected directly to The Grove, additional structures nearby, and street access if you're patient enough to hunt. Just read the signs, follow the flow, and don't rush. This place gets busy, especially at night and on weekends, but that chaos is honestly part of the charm. You just have to show up knowing it's going to be lively and let it be what it is. There's also an incredible mix of stores here. High end designer spots, popular retail, gift shops, and so many food options that you can come back multiple times and still not hit everything. And then there's the trolley, which is completely free and such a fun touch. Yes, the line gets long, but again, patience is the theme of the night. The fact that celebrities casually ride it too just adds to the experience. Rihanna was literally there recently with her kids riding the trolley, and it didn't feel forced or chaotic, just very LA in the best way. What really makes The Grove special at Christmas is that it feels like a shared experience. Everyone is there for the same reason, to feel festive, to slow down, to enjoy the moment. If you plan ahead, come with patience, wear comfortable shoes, and embrace the crowds instead of fighting them, you will have an amazing time. This is one of those places that reminds you that sometimes the best memories come from just being present, walking around, and letting the night unfold. Five stars without question. read more

The Grove did not win me over. Highly overpacked, high priced items for purchases and there wasn't much that really caught my eye. It's a tourist trap in my opinion.

We were passing through town and decided to check out "The Grove". It's a beautiful shopping mall with restaurants. There's a double decker trolley that can take you from the mall area to the original farmer's market area. A free ride when you get all tuckered out from all the walking!! I've seen photos of people coming during the Christmas month. It looks amazing! I'd like to check that out. There's lots of high end stores. There's magic shows, live music, dancing fountain, movie theater, and more. It was busy when we were there. They say it's busier on the weekends. Overall, a beautiful shopping experience! A little on the tourist trap side. The holidays would be worth the time to visit! read more

Love love LOVE the grove, and the Christmas spirit is in the air! I love this time of year at the Grove. They have the Christmas tree up, as well as other Christmas decorations and photos with Santa! There's Christmas music playing throughout the plaza and I just LOVE it! There's so much variety and great sales going for the holidays! I can't speak on much about service because I didn't really receive service walking through the grove. But I absolutely love the Christmas magic and seeing all the people and families and children. I love the Farmer's Market and the variety and value of food options, as well as produce! I tend to come here for rambutans when they're in season! Strongly recommend you come to the Grove and get into the Christmas spirit!

Came here to use the parking garage to visit the Holocaust Museum LA, but stayed to watch the fountains and enjoy the vibe at The Grove for a bit. The Grove was originally the site of an orchard and nursery. The farmers market still operates near the high end stores. Loved walking through the open market place. The Central Park has an animated fountain. This is similar to the fountains at Bellagio, but on a much smaller scale. The electric powered trolley cars are so nostalgic. A nice place for a quick stop to soak in the LA sunshine. read more

The Grove is kind of like the Disneyland of outdoor shopping malls. A fantastical image of what a cute little pseudo-European town square might look like...from the perspective of one who has never left the United States. It's got bistros and cute little shops and fountains performing intricate water shows. It's very shiny and curated and a little bit silly. It's a selfie-taker's dream come true. The shops and restaurants at The Grove skew mid-range to upscale. You're going to see both The Gap and Gucci. Most of the places are not stores that I generally enjoy, so I've really only gone here for the Apple Store (which looks like a human terrarium) and TASCHEN books (one of the few more alternative shops there). Getting in and out can be a bit of a hassle as the parking is labyrinthine. Unfortunately, none of the stores I've gone in validates parking. However, I've managed to get my parking ticket validated at restaurants, even if I didn't dine there. I've ended up at The Americana a lot more than here simply because it's closer. The Americana is completely the same style and, unsurprisingly, they are both developed by Rick Caruso and were designed by the same architectural groups. read more

It's a great place to spend a relaxed afternoon. read more

Overall - 10/10 This is a wonderful destination to come if you are visiting Los Angeles. It is a nice place to stroll. They are always having fund things happening on the weekend & weekends with various things from free pop-ups, shops, eat, and fun cafes too. The grove is always a wonderplace where I get to enjoy some shopping with K-beauty stores popping up. They also have pop-ups for K-beauty like the laneige store where I recently went shopping for some korean beauty products. They also have stores that also pop-up in the area too. They have a garage that has parking and possibly shreat parking in the neighborhood nearby that is a short walk to the plaza. Shopping/Food - I love coming to the grove and have visited for various pop-up in the area. It also had a lot of pop-ups and recently had one with Medi-Cube, TirTir, Biodance, Maison Margiel Fragrance, and Touchland. These pop-ups came with so many free skincare, food, and desserts. I got to try ice cream from Creamy Boys and meet a Korean Star, Kevin Woo, at a pop-up. Overall experience - It is a pleasant place to visit when I want to strool in the Los Angeles area. I love all the happenings at the grove randomly throughout the week. I am also glad for all the freebies including free ice cream, popsicles, dreanks, and k-beauty products. read more

For those of you visiting around this holiday season - stop by the premium Spotify pop-up to get ALL DAY FREE PARKING validation! They take a cute Christmas picture of you, give you a goodie bag, wrap your gifts for free, & validate parking. My review is for my visit on 12/13/25. Come here maybe once a year especially around Christmas for all the decorations. Lots of stores to browse & shop from. The farmer's market is always fun to explore. Food Grove has the classics (marmalade cafe, Cheesecake Factory, la la land cafe, etc) and some fancier restaurants. Tried the new Italian place at the farmer's market called Ettore and the food + service were amazing! It was such a relaxing experience after a long day of shopping. They also offer parking validation. Parking Grove offers self parking & valet. They're both pretty expensive (see photo). Both Ettore & Banana Republic offered to validate for me but I had received an ALL DAY FREE parking offer from the Premium Spotify pop-up. Highly recommend going in there if you have an account. Ambiance It's definitely very beautiful around the holidays but also VERY chaotic. Would come during a week day if you want to avoid the crowd. It does have a nice variety of stores like Maje, Sandro, Coach, Vince, H&M, Aritzia, Nordstrom, Paige, and one of the biggest Banana republic & Zara stores. read more

This is my favorite place during the holidays. Be aware that during the holidays traffic might get crazy crowded. Best place to park is the groove parking structure. You can get validation from some of the stores like cheesecake factory. There are many restaurants, a musical fountain, movie theater, and there is also old farmers market, where he can buy some unique stuff. There is also a historical tram that you can ride for a small fee. Overall, it's a very fun place. They also have live music on weekends. Strongly suggest visiting his place especially during holidays. Right before Christmas, at 6 PM and 7 PM, they also do a fake snow show which is fun for kids, including a very big Santa village house read more

The Grove - Shopping Centers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This my second favorite Caruso property with Americana at Brand taking #1. It feels more crammed to come here. It was incredibly popular this past Saturday so I purposefully got here at 10am. Pro tip: sign up to be a Caruso Signature member on the app and link your Mastercard. You'll get a code in the app to use to get free parking. Do not pay before you get to your car; scan your ticket when you leave and then you can scan the code. With further purchases, you can earn more free parking code. It wasn't crazy to get into the garage around 10am, but it sure looked crazy when we left at 2pm. The mall feels more touristy with a lot of flashy displays. I can't say my usual stores are here. I came here for the marketing popups where I got free stuff. The lines were easy even for a Saturday around 11am. Americana is busy too on the weekends, but it's more spread out and has more stores I'm interested in. read more

Ya know in all the times I've visited LA this weekend was the first time I ever visited the Grove. After reading the reviews I'm glad I ubered there. Packet pickup and all the activations were located at the grove for the Nike After Dark Tour. This place is super cute! Wow I should have came here sooner. It is an outdoor mall. With the weather being excellent in Cali it is not insufferable to walk out side and patronage the businesses. Obviously it presents a more elevated aesthic but it def has the standard issue stores you're accustomed to in the typical mall. There is a trolley that circles the space and various places to sit throughout the area. Overall when I am back in LA I intend to explore it more! read more

We probably visit The Grove 2-3 times a year. It's a very nice outdoor mall, with European inspired architecture and even a free trolley service running through the mall. However, it's much smaller than it looks. Parking is not free and validation is only offered at the AMC or some of the restaurants at the mall. We recommend downloading the Caruso Signature app. You can earn some points or enter your credit card onto the app to get complimentary parking for one day. Nonetheless, the mall is stunning. Lots of your typical LA high end boutiques and trendy athleisure shops. It's also connected to the Original Farmer's Market, which has TONS of food options. Overall decent mall. Getting here is a pain during traffic hour since its not near any freeways. Still worth visiting, especially during holiday season. read more

The Grove - Shopping Centers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The Grove is a place I always enjoy visiting. I have been coming here for over 25 yearws and I can confidently say that there is consistently something going on, whether it is a pop-up, a small event, or just the general buzz of people walking around. It is especially nice during the holidays when the decorations go up and the whole area feels festive without being over the top. Being right next to The Original Farmers Market is also a major bonus, since it adds even more food and shopping options. It is a great spot for walking around, window shopping, or actually shopping if you are in the mood. The restaurant selection is solid too. Blue Ribbon is great for sushi, and La Piazza has reliable Italian dishes and a nice atmosphere. The only downside is the parking. It can be a real challenge and is pretty expensive, especially during busy times. That is the main reason I am taking off one star. Overall, The Grove offers plenty to do and see, and it is always an easy choice when you want a place to stroll, eat, or hang out. read more
