A number of good stores - a metro, a Rexall, a Food Hall with nice seating. This mall has a Cineplex as well. Now connected by both TTC and LRT. There is a Reitmans, a coffee shop, a Winners. Something for everyone. There is also a Chapters. Go check it out. read more

There's nothing of note here, just a miniature shopping mall with the regular stores (although the food hall is pretty good!). However, the rooftop patio is probably the best kept secret around - accessible only via an elevator right by the Yonge and Eglinton entrance (near the Sephora). No labels, no directions, no advertising. Why??? The views are nonexistent but it feels very pleasant to sit there and enjoy the sun, the breeze, and the running water fountain. Come while it's still mostly unknown! read more

Yonge Eglinton Centre brings back fond memories. I have had a couple of stints in my life where I spent a lot of time in this area and at this mall. I recently cut through this area to reminisce and check it out amidst all the construction happening with the TTC's Eglinton Crosstown line. I attended York University as an undergraduate student. My home college was Glendon, which is a subway station and a bus away from Yonge and Eglinton. In my first year of university, I had four hours to kill between two classes on Tuesdays. It didn't make sense to go home and back. Instead, I'd hang out at various places nearby when I didn't have to study or do homework. Yonge Eglinton Centre was one of my chosen places. Back then, the Metro grocery store was a Dominion. I'm dating myself and don't care! There was a Grand and Toy, which I loved as a person who has always loved school and office supplies. Eaton's was alive and kicking around. I liked shopping at Fairweather for accessories and sweaters. In my second year of university, my last exam was on December 22. It was Linear Algebra I. I had a professor who loved theorems and had us rigorously write proofs. This exam was six hours in length. I frankly don't know how I survived. I finished just before 6 pm and my cognitive abilities felt like mush. I hadn't done my Christmas shopping, but did it all at this mall. I was exhausted, but it was good therapy relief after going through the longest exam that I had ever endured in my academic life. I did get all my shopping done, which is the cool thing about this mall. It has what you need. I loved this area so much that I had contemplated getting a condo here when I moved back to the GTA from Winnipeg. Everything is within walking distance, including this mall. I settled for Markham and am pleased being in suburbia. My second stint in the Yonge-Eglinton area was a decade ago. I worked at a company on Eglinton for two years, which recently folded last summer. I went out on Fridays for lunch. I liked the food court. I got hot dogs from New York Fries. I got my mozza burger fix at A&W. I was a happy camper. The food court has changed quite a bit. At least A&W is still there! I remember hanging out with a friend after work during this period. We sat on the steps of this mall, in front of Rexall. She was showing me her BlackBerry and we spent some time fiddling with it. It's interesting that we both don't work in this area anymore and don't have BlackBerrys. I often got ready-to-eat fruit at Metro. I liked the cubed watermelon and cantaloupe. It was nice having a treat after downing so much fast food! There was HMV where I spent my time browsing DVDs and CDs, which is sadly gone. I also hung out at Indigo and the Starbucks, which are still there. I went so often that the baristas knew me by my first name. I also banked at RBC. The Rexall, which is still there, had an RBC ATM. I'd often go there to get some cash and snacks. I do like the Pickle Barrel at this mall. I'd come here after watching a movie at the Cineplex. It's roomy and comfortable to grab a bite to eat. This mall has Sephora and Winners, which weren't there a decade ago. Once this pandemic is over, I'd like to check these stores out and the rest of this mall. Things have changed so much in this area. I need a third stint hanging around this intersection and mall! (47) read more

The Yonge and Eglinton Centre has a very special place in my heart. I went to high school nearby and during that time, I was at the Yonge and Eglinton Centre all the time! Whenever I return to Toronto, I try to return to my old 'hood to take a look around, and I always feel somewhat melancholy about all the changes. The Yonge and Eglinton Centre has certainly changed from my high school days, it is much more modern-looking and of course many of the stores from days past are gone, but some like Metro, Indigo, and Rexall (although it was called Pharma Plus back then) are still there. Since we are in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic now, I do not know what the current situation is at the Y&E Centre but this review is for the place during more carefree times. The Yonge and Eglinton Centre is not really a destination mall, but more like a mall that you drop by on the way to or back from work or school. It's connected to the Eglinton Subway station. There are multiple levels of retail and restaurants and the lower level that connects to the subway has a food court. Since my high school days they have done major renovations and the space is much more aesthetically pleasing than it once was. There is now a movie theatre in there, a Pickle Barrel Restaurant, a Sephora, and my favourite store of all: Winners! Lol. I think it does have a complete complement of stores for everything that you might need. There's a grocery store (Metro), a drugstore (Rexall), an LBCO (liquor store), several clothing stores (Winners, Reitmans, and others), a shoe store (Walking on a Cloud), jewellery stores (Michael Hill and Swarovski), a toy store (Toys R Us), and dollar store (Buck or Two Plus), a chocolate store (Laura Secord), an Electronics Store (The Source), several cell phone providers and repair shops, a travel agent, several beauty salons, a dental clinic, a gym, dry cleaners, and even more. So really, I think you can run all your errands at this mall. The food court is mostly chains, but there is a good variety of types of foods, so you can be healthy or junky depending on your mood, lol. read more

It proves time and again that accessible transit is critical for businesses to survive. Yonge and Eglinton has been a disaster in terms of construction which has gone on forever and from what I heard, is still going to take a very long time. Stores worth checking out: The Swarovski store was surprisingly well-stocked with a nice variety of items. Purchased a lovely set of crystal earrings, not ostentatious, just nice. Believe it or not, the prices seemed less expensive than at duty free in Asia. Another store that l had success with is the Papyrus gift store, I always find unique things at all their locations across the world. Found a raw silk green (my favourite colour) scarf, classy lookin'! LCBO is nicely-stocked, especially this time of year. Have some nice whiskeys imported from Scotland and my Hubby's fave. from Ireland. Metro Grocery has tiny aisles, over stocked and beware of bad buggy-drivers - watch your shins! Metro is mostly self-checkout OR you can get lucky and have David, the best cashier ever, to check out your groceries. Otherwise, things are not overly bustling here at this location due, I believe, in large part to the accessibility issues. read more

Why would they make you pay 34 dollars for a lost parking ticket when the daily maximum is 24 dollars. It's dingy and the customer service was not up to par for the price of what should only be considered luxury. Unbelievable for a place with maybe two good stores which were not even stocked with smaller sizes. Awful. read more

I have come here a few times in the area (generally when I am waiting for someone or going to the movies). It's not the be all to end all "mall", but it works in a pinch. There is Rexall's, Metro, a few clothing stores, and a recently opened Sephora, Chapters and of course the movie theatre. If you live in the area it's a great place to walk to for your needs. If you get off the TTC here, another great place to pop into if you need to pick up something on your way home/work. They are doing renovations around this area for the condos and the Eglinton LRT so there is always issues with entrance/exits to TTC subway being blocked/changed. Just keep an eye out for that, but that is really not the mall's fault. read more

Located right by the Eglinton subway station is in a great midtown location. The mall is full of great retail and restaurants including their food court on the lower level. It has cell phone providers, a dental clinic, a gym and more. Indigo is a great bookstore to check out and the mall also has a great Cineplex. It's a medium sized mall which makes it faster to run errands at this mall instead of Yorkdale for example. read more

This place feels quite empty and quiet for the location and amount of space they have. The stores in here are not the trendy and popular kind, but it's got a small Urban Outfitter, Sephora, and Winners. I think most people come here for grocery at Metro, Cineplex Movie Theatre, or entering/exiting the Eglinton subway. They also have a tiny food court in the basement level, but much better food and restaurants are outside the centre across the street (Chipotle, Rolltation, Paramount, The Keg...etc.) I think this place has the potential to become a popular mall with a great location. But for now, it's just a pass by, or a chilling spot. read more

Yonge Eglinton Centre - Seatings at food court - Shopping Centers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I pass by it very frequently but decided to shop inside to kill time. There's more shops than i thought! I don't think it's a mall where you shop for leisure, but more so for convenience or if you are looking for specific items, gifts, etc. read more

This is one crazy confusing shopping centre. There are escalators that don't really get you to anywhere, random people movers, and signs that point you in every direction that you don't want to go. I haven't done a ton of shopping here as I mostly just come for a movie once in a while. The stores I have been to are your run of the mill stores. The mall probably has everything you need to get your errands done on the weekend but if you're looking for everything, this place doesn't have it. read more

Yonge Eglinton Centre - Shopping Centers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The place has been under a major renovation for over a year now and still doesn't look like the renovation will be over any time soon. There is no reception for mobile (I use Rogers) on the ground floor - no internet or cell connection. The parking garage is a nightmare - also under renovation, tiny dirty parking spaces, dust will cover your car if you park for a few hours, lack of signage to direct cars to exit, no clear directions on how to pay for your ticket if you got some credit on parking for shopping in the mall. I hope once the renovation is over (years from now?) this mall will be a pleasant place to shop. Until then, I would shop somewhere else. read more

Yonge Eglinton Centre - New screens after renovation - Shopping Centers Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This mall is under construction. The parking garage is difficult to enter and leave and it's a long way to the Cineplex, e.g. Cineplex has only a down escalator operating and a very slow, small elevator. Most disturbing, the Centre signage is flatly wrong. Signs steer you to a second floor washroom that is locked and a nearby shopkeeper must tell dozens of shoppers each day that to go the first floor. The signs on that floor steer you to a single user washroom. This is completely unsatisfactory. I simply cannot understand why a mall would lock washrooms and cannot get its signage correct ... :/ read more

Not sure why everyone who has reviewed this place says it's either "confusing" or that "the mall" isn't big enough... or doesn't have "everything". Well, dear friends, I sense that you may be confused. So let me enlighten you! First off, this place doesn't even pretend to be a "mall". This is a small little shopping area that connects a few shops and this itself is a plus point in my books compared to huge pretentious American style shopping malls that are WAY more confusing and laborious to navigate. Highlights: - Small and easy to navigate. - A movie theatre, drug store, bookstore, 24-hour grocery store, LCBO, dollar store, shoe repairs, dry cleaners, a bunch of clothing stores, cafeteria, and subway station all in the same place! - Clean and newly renovated. - Located within walking distance from many shops and restaurants in the young and eligible hood. Still confused? Visit Yonge Eglinton Centre and I'm sure you'll be amused! read more

As someone else mentioned, this mall is more for those who live in the area, not for people to venture out of their way to. It's never too busy, or young kids just hanging out. Metro's renovations was wise and long overdue. They still have to learn to deal with huge amounts of traffic, they are getting there but still need some work at cash. It is a little more organized though as far as store layout. LCBO, staff at this location are friendly, humorous and knowledgeable. Great to be able to buy a bottle and hop on the subway Dollarstore. I prefer Dollarama, but still great to have one of these. Glad they opened a winners and excited for Sephora to open read more

Really hate the layout of this mall there's literally ONLY ONE USEFUL elevator that you can use and it either leads you to some shitty bubble tea shop that sells you water flavoured tea and the tapioca makes you sick or a really expensive jewlery store beside an average clothing store. Two things of which I don't need or would ever buy and the second floor is just a giant pathway to expensive ugly shoes or indigo which is great, but that's all that's great in this mall. I mean they have a metro and a source apparently but I'm pretty sure that's all people ever go to and ignore everything else about this mall. read more

This has to be most confusing mall ever to navigate. From finding the food court to the movie theatre, there are really no helpful sign or even those maps I got lost navigating, especially trying to find the theatre, maybe me feel stupid that all I had to do is go up one floor. I cant say much for the store selection didnt broswer, I remember a PickleBarrel and a metro read more

This is not a destination mall. It's a mall for those who work and live in the area. It has all the essentials for a downtown mall: grocery store, food court, pharmacy, movie theatre, gym, Indigo, Starbucks. Nothing special, but it's connected to the subway, so that's a plus. In addition, the food court has recently added Freshii (well used to be upstairs) and Sushi shop. The mall is currently under massive renovation, so hopefully they will add more stuff. Biggest upside is that it's connected to the subway. Biggest downside is that my employees keep slacking off and seeing movies whenever they work from this office since it's connected (kidding). read more

I work right at Yonge and Eglinton and I'm so glad this shopping center exists! There's plenty of variety to choose from in the food court for lunch and there's a Metro supermarket conveniently located on the main floors. I don't understand why many people find this building confusing, but maybe I'm just used to it. An Urban Outfitter recently opened and it's two stories big! Other retail stores include: Mendocino, Jacob, La Senza, PJ Pets, Rexalls, Great American Back Rub, and Laura Secord! It's also conveniently located right above Eglinton subway station. I never have to walk outside during the winter to get to work! The property manager hosts complimentary BBQs once in a while and they're always awesome! The only complaint would be the traffic surrounding this area, but I expect it'd be worse downtown. read more

is this mall awkward? you betchya! but it has so much to offer, that most malls miss the mark on. a movie theatre? a lcbo? a metro? plus other things that attract other people, make this mall a diamond in the rough. was very happy with my experience recently checking this mall out. very confusing, but if you are not on a time restraint, you can figure it out! great transit options being directly attached to the YUS line is great, you don't have to go outside and through hoops to get to the mall portion or back to the subway! read more

This place is undergoing a renovation. Let's just say it's not the best of places to be right now. I hope it looks really good once the reno is done! read more

This mall is a good place to kill time. For example, if you're meeting a friend who notoriously unpunctual, you can chill out at Indigo. There's also a food court on the lower level with tv's tuned in to CP24. Sushi Shop offers a small discount near closing time. The grocery store often has long line ups and some pretty disillusioned staff, but the location is very convenient, with direct access to the subway. Check the mall information kiosk for parking info (ex. First hour free with minimum purchase) or http://www.yongeeglintoncentre.com/store/index.ch2 read more

Great space lots of places to shop. Way too many teens roaming around the mall! They make it a horrible place to come and I definitely will not be spending as much time here as I would like because of them. They completely destroy the mall atmosphere! read more

This place sucks. The layout is atrocious, you need to take one escalator to get to a set of stores, then head back downstairs, and take another escalator to get to others. Confusing signs all over the place, including a pair of stickers affixed to to the floor, maybe a foot in front of the staircase, instructing you to take the stairs to, well, go upstairs. I generally don't look at the floor for directions, but I appreciate the gesture. There are half-levels all over the place, you'll find yourself walking through a corridor only to find out that you can't leave the same way you came in. It's absolutely infuriating. The stores suck too, by and large. The HMV sucks. The pet store sucks. This Metro might be the worst grocery store on the planet. The concourse is full of dumb, entitled teenagers who haven't had to struggle a day in their miserable, small lives and seniors moving at turtle speed. Oh, and there's often construction, escalators don't work, elevators don't work. read more

I feel like a lot more can be done with this shopping centre. It is right on the TTC line, there aren't too many other indoor shopping options around, and it gets a fair amount of traffic. With all that said - there are only a handful of stores I find worth visiting here. I happen to really like these few stores, though. The food court is lacking options, but there is always seating and it is clean. Come to think of it, the entire mall is very clean. There is a Booster Juice on the upper level. I love any mall with a bookstore, so I have to give it some credit. I will let you in on a little secret... the Metro in this shopping centre sells the TTC Metro Pass and usually has a way shorter line up than the Yonge and Eglinton TTC Station. Also great if you want to use your credit card to pay. Don't know if I'll end up kicking myself for sharing that with Yelp... I feel like Yonge and Eglinton would have more of a day-crowd if this shopping centre was revamped and had a better selection of stores. I love Yonge & Eg, but during the winter months, I don't really want to walk around outdoors for my shopping in the area. read more

Its not a real mall so don't be mislead! Its even smaller than a section of the Path.

Although the selection in this small mall is small, I believe eglinton mall should count the stores outside along the young & eglinton path; their are a lot of stores to look around in. After living near eglinton for 10 years, this place has really changed an has gotten really nice stores! Totally a good place to quickly shop in since it isnt near eatons or stc or yorkdale; good for people who don't want to travel with a lot of people around them! Solo is the way to go! read more

This mall is peculiarly designed, so that you can only reach the upper two floors separately by taking different escalators from the main floor. Limited selection of retail stores, though there are ads that more stores are opening in the summer. read more
