The Oakland City Center is always super clean!!…read more The 12th Street Bart Station is located just down the stairs, and this place is right in the middle of Downtown Oakland. Old Oakland and Oakland Chinatown are just a few blocks away. Lots of small places to eat here, although most are closed during the weekend. You can tell this is a major lunch area during the week for businesses located here and the surrounding area. I think if they promoted this place a little better, it has the potential to be a very popular place, mostly because it is so aesthetically pleasing!!

I come here mostly for CVS, but the busiest places here are Peet's Coffe and The Habit Burger Grill. There's an AT&T store and a Great Clips store here also.

If you visit South Shore Center, Modern Mouse is the absolute best reason to go. It's such a hidden…read moregem! It feels like a little slice of Japantown right here in Alameda. They have so much cool stuff from local artists, SO MANY stickers, stationery, artist prints, blind boxes and Pokémon cards. Great for gifts, and especially a good spot if you're visiting from out of town looking for unique local finds The owners and the staff are incredibly sweet and welcoming. Shop is right across from FAAS, so a perfect chance to visit the kitten room too or pet some adorable bunnies. Also huge shoutout to South Shore Cafe for one of the best breakfasts on the island. Staff also is incredible and always a 10/10. Support local!

All the stores are almost the same as the Fremont Hub, except they have more restaurants and cafes,…read moreless than a mile from the beach. Lots of retail options too, like TJ Maxx, Old Navy, West Marine, Daiso, Ulta, and more. They even have Crunch Fitness near Marugame Udon. It's more spacious than Fremont Hub; I had to look at the directory twice to not lose direction. Most people go here for Trader Joe's and Safeway for errands. Plus, it's conveniently located near the post office. Great to visit when in Alameda.

Jack London Square is one of my favorite places to slow down and enjoy the day. There are great…read morerestaurants and cafés, a pet store, a candy shop, and a store for water sports and outdoor gear. It's also just a short walk to World Market, a nearby movie theater, and downtown Oakland. If you're driving, there's a convenient parking garage. What I love most is that you don't have to spend any money to enjoy yourself. You can sit under the trees, watch the boats, stretch out on the grass, listen to live music, and simply enjoy the waterfront. The square itself is pedestrian-friendly, so you can relax without traffic rushing by. Sundays are especially enjoyable with the farmers market and live performances. Today I'm listening to the talented musicians from the Oaktown Jazz Workshops, who also have a home right here in Jack London Square. Every now and then, you'll hear a train passing by, which somehow adds to the character of the place. I'm really going to miss The Plank. It was such a fun community gathering spot and a place where I often came just to unwind. Another bonus is the free shuttle from Alameda, which makes getting here easy and enjoyable. Whether you're looking for a meal, a movie, a waterfront stroll, or simply a peaceful no cost place to sit and recharge, Jack London Square is well worth a visit.

A decent sized shopping center in San Lorenzo!!…read more Black Angus Restaurant and Luckys are the main attractions here. The restaurant gets busy on the weekends, which really fills up a not so big parking lot. I also come here sometimes for the post office. It's right next to one of the major entrances to Interstate 880 south, so there's usually a good amount of traffic in this area. All in all, a pretty good plaza!!

Quality/Quantity - My wife tricked me into coming here with her…read more.. She said we will be in and out, but 2+ hours later... Can you add a bar, or brewery here!?! I do not even like Starbucks here... And I used to frequent them often. I did find a few shirts I liked at Marshalls, but did not buy as I just have way too many. Discovered Tesla charging stations "hidden" in the rear of the center, see picture. I have to admit, when we did NOT know better approximately 20 years ago, we used to come here often. But the environment has changed, and not for the better. Way busier, more car break-ins, more poor drivers, etc. And really no brands that I personally shop. Plus, we now have the Livermore outlets! Which is still my favorite! Atmosphere - 23 businesses, see website. Crazy busy on weekends. Limited parking. Potential car break-ins; see parking lot signs. Public restrooms near Starbucks, good luck. You do not even have a rideshare drop off/pick up area. Open 7 days a week. Service - Depends on where you shop. Price - Outlet pricing. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1998, we have been customers since then.

I wish this place is open earlier. Weekends can be packed…read more Kinda hard to find parking. So I go on weekdays. It's pretty chill. I really just go to 3-4 stores there. And I like it because I don't have to do long walks from one store to another. It has 3 food places, which include Starbucks. It's a closer outlet and it's not crowded. My type of outlet.
