Palm Bay Center is located in the northern part of Palm Bay and offers a quiet shopping experience with plenty of parking and nearby food establishments. While the area has many shops, it faces challenges with visibility of street signs at night and the need for walkways and sidewalks, especially at major intersections. The traffic can become heavy during peak hours and weekends, particularly when there are store specials. One highlight is Young's Chinese Buffet, which offers a full buffet for a reasonable price on Thursdays. Despite some shops closing in the older strip mall, Publix stands out with its clean, organized environment and exceptional employees, earning high praise from customers. Overall, Palm Bay Center is ideal for those who prefer a less crowded shopping atmosphere.
