“El Marsh Manor Mall, located in Redwood City, is a beautiful place to explore if you're the type of person who loves discovering new shops and restaurants. Located on Florence Street, this shopping center offers a wide range of services and shops, from Delucchi's Market, selling fresh and specialty products, to Freewheel Brewing Company, perfect for enjoying a great craft beer and maybe some live music. Plus, food options for all tastes: the delicious breakfast or brunch that awaits you at places like Los Gallos Taqueria and Squeeze In. With a friendly atmosphere and a list of community events (think free summer concerts), this area is worth a stop for a languid, pleasant afternoon.”

3000 Bridgepointe Pkwy, San Mateo“Lots of shops, good amount of parking space and within the center of San Mateo county. Lots of Tesla charging station. Target, Ross, Michaels, Home Depot, hobby lobby, chipotle, chick fills, total wine and many more stores and restaurants are in this location. Clean and well maintained.
Next to the foster city and easy access to HWY92.”
“Ladera Country Shopper is Portola Valley's secret that I don't mind sharing. Community oriented and difficult to get into due to its popularity and limited parking, I'm always drawn to its local vibe as a reflection of the region's rural past....not necessarily its competitive present. Its ruralness is certainly arguable, but 280 acts as a gateway between country and city. I'll head west every time.”
10 AM - 8 PM
660 Stanford Shopping Center, Palo Alto“This is my favorite shopping center out of the whole Bay Area! The weather is usually nicer in Palo Alto so being outdoors isn't an issue. A great way to get some fresh air while shopping. It's also walking distance to downtown, the location is convenient. Has most of the stores I like, I there's new buildings being built and I'm excited for whatever new business is opening. It's pretty upscale but there have some mid range stores like Macys, Kate Spade, Coach and Tory Burch unlike Hermes. It's also not overwhelmingly big, like a lot of Westfield malls - makes it a very chill.”
“This is the place to go if you love your clothes. They do excellent work. I love bring my clothes there for alterations. I trust this cleaners and love their services. Highly rated in my favorite cleaners!”
“Love the place. We come here regularly every weekends for the Asian supermarket (99 Ranch). The supermarket is always stocked up with Asian products and produces. Plus, this place is within 10 minutes driving from our place, so it’s pretty convenient.While we’re there, we basically would spend our brunch there, too. The Korean Soon Tofu soup, the Vietnamese New Sai Gon, and the Chinese Tai Wu restaurant are all good place to eat. We tried them all. The only place we never go is the pizza restaurant apologize but when we’re in Asian-vibe neighborhood, we prefer Asian cuisines. That’s out bias.There are other shops that are pretty convenient if you come for the market but have some other businesses to take care of. The optometry, the hair salon, the dry cleaners, the printing service, etc. Heck, they have a martial arts center here as well.Sometimes we need to do printing and international shipping so we often visit the UPS at this location. Nice staff and service. Extremely patient with our clumsiness and requests. The dessert store here is also delicious, so you can give it a try.”
“Good price for plenty of food. I got the broccoli and beef, which was long broccoli, and I loved it. The sauce was great. I got it to go. It took me 4 days to eat it all.”
“Close to home and so much good stuff! The market has a great selection of organic produce, the best bakery, and a wonderful selection of cheeses and dairy products. Also at the plaza a bagel factory run by an experienced and seasoned bagel maker. Get them hot throughout the day. You’ll also find orange Theory for high energy exercise. A famous chef Chinese restaurant, and a nail studio. Shop local!”
“Quality and availability of products were great but the best part was the excellent service - Almichael and Chloe were very friendly, helpful, and overall amazing!”

“"Beach Park Plaza" is a medium size strip mall in a residential area of Foster City, CA. It's right across the street from the beach on SF Bay. The mall currently offers a variety of restaurants, shops, and services. I first visited Beach Park Plaza during the Covid shutdown when the Joy Restaurant was open and asking for customers. I'm happy to say the Joy Restaurant survived the Covid-19 shutdown, and is open everyday except Tuesdays. The mall itself has a clean and modern appearance, with a large parking lot. The location is away from the central part of Foster City, so you feel safe and there's not much traffic. The only negative thing would be it doesn't have a market or a convenience store. There's no anchor business to attract people. Of course, there's popular restaurants and services here. Beach Park Plaza is located at Beach Park Blvd & Marlin Ave. It's across the street from the beach, which may not be accessible due to seawall construction. The mall is worth a visit for it's variety of small restaurants. Support Local Business!”

“Shop till you drop. So many good stores and places to eat. The outdoor area in front of the Apple store is great for families with small children who need to run around.”
“This is a beautiful idyllic place by the canal side which reminds you of riverside towns in Europe. The water in the canal is crystal clear, the houses located on the edge of the canals are beautifully built, ducks and other aquatic birds swim by and during the day one can see many racing rowboats, single seater double seaters, 5/8 seaters with young men and women practicing the art of rowing.The whole scene is so idyllic and scenic and one can spend hours admiring the beauty. We waited for the sunset and the colors on the water was a spectacular sight to behold.There is a Mediterranean restaurant on the canal side that makes for a very nice place to spend a good time.I must add that this place is a hidden beauty and not to be missed if you are in the Bay Area!Ample parking and rest rooms are available nearby which adds to the convenience”
“Basically any type of food you could want is available here and there is also a grocery store and a few other things within the shopping center. There is a also an electric car charger nearby within the parking lot/s.”

“I love the fact that we have a Target nearby. We needed it. Always busy but mainly because they are the only retail store with various products for the East Palo Alto residents. Thank you.”
“Road side store with souvenirs which was great we spent over hour there not knowing we spent so much time. It had a live band, deli and it was a gift shop, and store”
“I mean for a small shopping center it's it's pretty good parking can be kind of a pain and the stores of changed I wish there was a little bit more variety of stores but Safeway's there it's awesome CVS is there that's nice except every time I'm in there the staff isn't very friendly I go to the other CVS and they treat you like a princess and you go into that one and they treat you like you're terrible. MetroPCS is there I like them to my phone service I love the bookstore but Pier 1 imports has gone a lot of things have left so it's kind of a bummer I hope and pray they don't put in a bunch of restaurants because that's all redwood City is now is a bunch of damn restaurants.”

26790 St Francis Rd, Los Altos Hills“Small Shopping Center near our home, and across from San Antonio Shopping Center. This small plaza has Planned Parenthood, T Mobile, and some other businesses along with a larger office building. The parking lot has entrances on both California and San Antonio. Other than my gal going to planned parenthood I haven't tried any of the other businesses here. Thanks San Antonio Center!”
“I to the middle Eastern restaurant for their Lamb dish.Good food. But I do not remember the name of this Restaurant. I think it is called Falafel-------- not sure that is correct.”
