    Excellent customer service from the staff. I went to see the 3pm showing. The staff were fast and efficient. The movie was great . Great value of the food and drinks. I got my free refill quickly. Once again thank you for the staff.

    Our first visit to The Veranda - but we will be back! Large, upscale, new shopping mall in the heart of Concord. It's all outdoors and the property is gorgeous. Mostly restaurants - and good ones! We can't wait to come back and try more places. There is a nice Sephora and TJ Maxx and World Market. Also a very nice Barnes and Noble. I kept thinking - a great date spot! Giant Luxe movie theater too. There is a large water feature with dancing fountains and it was so nice just to sit outside and chit chat. We came on a Friday and it got very very busy around 5:30. I would say come early to find good parking and get into the restaurants. Awesome use of that parcel of land!! Loved it.

    Me trying to catch up on reviews from January 2023, edition #2! Lol Nice place to shop and dine here in the Bay Area of Cali! Years ago, I once bounced around the bay long before The Veranda existed. In my day, Sun Valley Mall was poppin'!! IYKYK! This is a nice outdoor shopping center worth checking out located in Concord. I was here to meet up with friends from forever ago. It was nice to catch up, eat, and walk around. Be sure to get your selfie at the big red chair!! I recommend coming here for whatever may need. There are several parking lots here, but exercise caution as it gets busy during the holidays and other peak times. Plan ahead and have a nice visit!

    Live band Wednesday night
    Rachel M.

    Yes - parking does suck here but that means it's a super popular spot everyone flocks to! The Veranda is a great addition to this area of town and there is a ton of restaurants, shops, and community building areas. Some cuisine highlights: - Doppio Zero: Italian- delicious pizzas, burrata salad, and fresh pastas) - Mikuni: Japanese- tasty happy hour- love the sakefin and Agedashi tofu) - Puesto Mexican- another great happy hour spot! Recommend the Hero taco (lobster and filet mignon) from their secret menu and their alcoholic drinks, especially the margaritas - Shabuya: Asian - AYCE Hot pot - Yardhouse: American- gourmet bar eats There is outdoor seating and family friendly activities, including a playground, live bands, water fountain, seasonal ice skating, and movie theater. Good luck finding parking!

    Very small rink
    Aileen P.

    Do not come here for the ice skating! The prices are cheaper than most places but that's for a reason this rink is TINY! Service was fast as easy but the skates left our feet super wet for some reason. I regret making the drive out here for a rink that was very overhyped online, it also looks a lot bigger on the website where we bought our tickets. Save your money and time do not come here. The only good thing about this rink is that they use a mini zamboni between sessions, but they don't wait long enough between for the ice to harden up.

    Parking is an issue
    Matthew H.

    A relatively new shopping center that offers dining, shopping, and amusement type activities. Visible security patrolling up and down parking lot as well as security around shops, which provides a since of safety while shopping. Parking: Non existent at peak hours. Expect extra time to park if you have reservations at a specific time. The parking lot has extremely small spots plus crazy drivers trying to find parking so the extra small spots don't help. On street parking none. Just have to wait till one person leaves and be lucky. Shopping: Lots of restaurants and popular shops such as Old Navy, Whole foods, Sephora, and Tj max. Many restaurants such as Mod pizza, Shabuya or Texas De Brazil. Lots to choose from. Overall: A highly popular destination with far too many people per parking spots available. With great shops and restaurants, you may want to come on the weekdays where parking may not be a trouble.

    Water Fountain
    Sara B.

    Great place for shopping, eating and relaxing! They have plenty of outdoor seating as well as a playground area for kids and a beautiful water fountain show right across the movie theater. They have a lot of dining options, a wine bar, ice cream, and several shops like Sephora, World Market , TJ Maxx. This plaza is always busy so of course parking can be difficult to find, however, it's not too bad if you are willing to park a little further from the restaurants. I often like to walk my pup around the plaza, he loves watching the water fountain!

    It's a fairly new shopping center. Wasn't sure if it is considered an outside mall but it's beautiful. There are stores here that we all like such as TJ Maxx, World Market, Barnes and Nobles, just to name a few. But I like coming here for the restaurants and other things to do like the Escape Room and Dave and Buster. There's also free wifi! Yay! So when you come here to shop, you can eat here as well, and bring the kiddos to the play area or just hang out, sit, have coffee. Did I mention there's an Imax theater here? Yes there's is, come meet your friends at the movies. I should let you know there's a wrap around parking lot. Fair warning, on holidays, it's a little harder to find a parking spot.

    Ask the Community - The Veranda

    Is there a breakfast restaurant in the Center?

    The website makes it seem like there's no seating indoors or out at the restaurants and bars. What's the latest?

    The restaurants absolutely have indoor and outdoor seating!

    Where are the bathrooms we don't see any outside of any of the businesses?

No matter what time of day it is, the parking lot here is sure to be overcrowded and filled with people who cannot park, drive, or even walk across the damn street right. I never understood how such a large shopping center could have such little parking. The parking lot itself is just constructed so poorly. It doesn't matter what entrance or exit that you take to get into this shopping; you will almost ALWAYS be waiting and sitting in some kind of street traffic, struggling to get in and out. I've seen so many "almost accidents". I actually witnessed a real accident the other day because people just don't have the patience or they just straight up don't know how to drive. The pedestrians are a mess too; walking right in the middle of a speeding car and taking their sweet ass time to get to the other side of the road. But oh myyeee Gawd. The WORST is when... they just walk right in the middle of the damn road... the entire time. Just move your ass to the OTHER side of the road like a normal person! But I swear, they all do it. So, why do I keep coming back? Because many of my favorite places are located right here in the Park N' Shop. I am faithfully addicted to Shan Shan Low and I go there damn near every week because I can't go too long before I'm craving their Chinese food goodness again. Some other great places that I enjoy in this shopping center: -99 cents store -Ranch 99 Market -Kevin's Noodles House -Las Montanas Supermarket -Bobaloca -Rockin' Crawfish -Round Table Pizza -Sunrise Bagels -JoAnn's -Quickly -Burlington Coat Factory ... And those are just to name a FEW. So many great stores... not enough damn parking. But you know what? I keep coming back because I have no other choice. I just hope that someday they'll fix the parking lot and remodel the whole complex because it looks old and rundown.

I don' t know if this mall is ever packed and it's not totally the mall's fault - buying stuff on line has really killed the brick-and-mortal stores in general and I get it. But holy smokes, the stores here - it's multiple variations of the same crap stores. Who buys this stuff? There are some stores that I absolutely cannot believe make enough money to stay open. They have to pay rent and employee salaries and make some sort of profit and you wonder how it's possible. If you go here and look around, you'll know what stores I'm talking about. I was walking around here yesterday was just amazed at the absolute garbage stores. One "kitsch" store (and there are many) proudly displayed some poster about "stupid people" by its entrance that you could buy - for people to buy to make fun of stupid people - yet literally the only people who would buy this are the people it makes fun of. And you can't walk into these stores because the second you do the employee is on you. Like Blockbuster where every employee had to greet you and see if you need anything. I just want to look around without being bothered but it's not possible in these stores. They have so little people in them, when an employee does get someone they hover. You do still have some good stores - Macys of course, an old standby with good stuff - you can't go wrong with a Macys. Even JC Penneys is still here (I didn't even know they were still around). The Sears finally went out and to no one's surprise, they couldn't care less about that store for years now. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. And the clientele walking around. You have your people of all ages and races which you want to see. California is represented well at this mall and I like that. And of course your thugs always wasting time walking around - disturbs me seeing these guys. I guess the mall can't do anything about them but yeah, they're here. On the plus side, the mall is super clean. I'd like to hope that this mall, one of the malls I've been to for decades will still be around for a long time but honestly, if this thing still exists in three years I'd be shocked.

The anchor tenant is Safeway, located toward the back of the shopping center. That is where much of the traffic comes from and results in difficulty finding parking if you're planning to patronize the other businesses in the center. Another big draw is Starbucks, which is situated directly at the front of the plaza, and which always seems to be packed full of customers, both inside and outside.
