    Michael's has a great assortment of merchandise no matter the project. Some prices pretty fair which is nice. I don't like self check out & appreciate the 1on1 with an employee.

    Stopped at Vitamin Shoppe for suppliments. Parking is always a bit crazy there. So, I usually park in the back and walk.

    Visited Starbucks. Staff was so amazing. They were patient and friendly. I love their new hours. Gentleman by the name of Erik was very courteous and assisted me with my order and choosing which cups/mugs to buy. Great standard of service!!!

    Very popular shopping plaza and behind it is a Costcos. It can get very congested with people constantly going in and out, especially around mid afternoon to early evening. There are stores and eateries. Happy shopping.

  • 4/5 Christine M. 1 year ago on Google
    I like the combination of stores. You can get a lot done on 1 trip. But, the parking lot setup is a pain.

  • 1/5 Massimo B. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Maria C. 11 months ago on Google
    Good place to shop but finding parking is difficult on weekends and holidays.

  • 5/5 John L. 11 months ago on Google
    I dont know what engineer who set up the parking lot was thinking. Hard to get in and out, surprised their aren't large amounts of accidents

  • 4/5 Alec 11 months ago on Google

  • 3/5 Loida J. 10 months ago on Google
    What a nightmare!! Super congested. Its so tight and uncomfortable. Enjoy the stores but a horror show to drive and park!!!

  • 2/5 Kris J. 9 months ago on Google
    Someone DEFINITELY got Paid OFF!! CRAZY to build a strip mall that backs up TRAFFIC on a MAJOR HIGHWAY!!

  • 5/5 Esteban V. 7 months ago on Google
    Easy access from route 3 also conveniently place next to a cotsco store

  • 2/5 Andrew C. 6 months ago on Google

The tranquil riverside setting combined with its proximity to shops and eateries make it a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a peaceful afternoon outing.

    Though I love going to the Michael's here to get my crocheting supplies I think twice sometimes because of how crowded it gets.

  • 3/5 Nicole B. 2 years ago on Google
    Many of the stores in River Afro that Center are great stores such as Bed Bath and Beyond, 5 and below, the Vitamin shoppe, Citibank, Michael’s and many more. The only difficulty I have with this strip mall is the way the parking lot is laid out, especially during the busy shopping season.

  • 4/5 W M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good and convenient place to shop if you need to visit multiple shops. Then you can grab a quick snack at Starbucks or Panera. Or if you are looking to have lunch or dinner, stop by Uno.

  • 5/5 Renee R. 2 years ago on Google
    Be careful & conscious of pulling into this Plaza from route 3. There 7 out of 10 times there is a line getting into the Plaza, meanwhile people are crossing and other cars are trying to rush out of the intersection. For everyone's safety, please be patient. I've seen cars rush to make a turn and go up on the curb and pop their tire and damage their vehicles. It's not worth it. Great shops, obvi, that's why the place is was busy. I suggest parking near michaels and walking throughout Plaza instead of moving your car to each side of lot.

  • 3/5 Teodora T. 2 years ago on Google
    If you get there early, close to stores opening, you'll have no problem parking but later it gets packed especially on the weekend.

  • 3/5 Irmalex C. 2 years ago on Google
    This plaza get 3 stars because its very congested with cars very narrow to make turns and parking is difficult. The traffic within the plaza is very frustrating and backed up. Plaza has a few stores to visit such as a bed baths and beyond and a huge 5 below as well as places to eat such as unos pizza Chipotle Panera bread. The Costco is just on the other side of the plaza as well and Costco Gas. Very convenient place for xmas shopping however very much traffic.

    Pier is no longer there. It's five below now. My only issue with this shopping center would be how dangerous it is to drive and walk across the entrance/ exit from the highway by the vitamin shop and over the bridge near Costco into the parking area. I'm amazed that no one has been hit by a vehicle or some type of serious accident hasn't happened yet. Otherwise it a excellent place to shop. Michael, face value, Elaine Bryant, Bed Bath Beyond, star bucks, game stop, uno's restaurant, bank, salon and a cell phone store. Theres a hibachi restaurant on the corner off Main Street. Public transportation bus no 191, 190, 13c and near by. The 27 limit during rush hour and 74 stop on main St... ok by lol

  • 5/5 Yarali F. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice, clean and organized love shopping at the riverside store 👌 👍

  • 3/5 Lesli J. 1 year ago on Google
    Parking sucks but it’s so convenient to be able to shop so many stores at once here. Wish the food options weren’t so limited

  • 5/5 Ryz M. 1 year ago on Google
    They have food shops and other stores in the area to look around. The area get easily full since it's accessible on the highway.

  • 4/5 Carissa D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice stores but the parking lot can be a mess! Very poor planning and design for peak hours. I opt for delivery most of the time.

  • 5/5 jose olivares (. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this theater is well furnished and great sound and image even for the standart shows. Prices are very reasonable and food too

  • 4/5 Margaret H. 1 year ago on Google
    Parking can be very tight sometimes. The array of smaller stores changes. There is a dinner pizza place, a Michaels craft store on opposite ends and a Bed, Bath & Beyond, Starbucks and Supercuts always in between. The rest of the storefronts change occasionally. It has very easy access from the westbound lane of Rt. 3, or just go in the back way. From Main Ave in Clifton, use Bridewell which is the street that Costco is on. Go past Costco and take the little bridge on the right hand side. In fact, during peak seasons, you could park towards the back of Costco and just walk over the bridge to the stores. They are all very close together.

    I visited the Vitamin Shoppe. The place was clean and well organized. Vitamin Shoppes staff was very helpful directing me to all items of interest. My last visit was pre- Covid 19 Pandemic. At the register I updated my membership phone number and I was "good to go".

  • 4/5 J. Edward R. 1 year ago on Google
    Selection of shops is fine, parking is a bit small and thus making it difficult to park there at times. However the in and out of the lots is limited, making it criminal how difficult it can be to even get in there at times. They grossly underestimate the traffic in the design.

  • 5/5 leila d. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a great collection of stores, in this one area you can buy clothes, simple technology (affordable headphones, speakers, etc.), decent/cute gifts for friends, hygiene products, hair & skincare products, furniture, kitchenware, vitamins, protein powders, art supplies, and delicious foods (from dine-in places). Stores include Vitamin Shoppe, Five Below, Bed Bath & Beyond, Michael's, Starbucks, and Panera Bread...

  • 5/5 Claudio V. 1 year ago on Google
    The mall is nice but who ever design the access and exit didn't have his brain awake. Didn't think about safety at all

  • 3/5 Judy Ryan H. 1 year ago on Google
    They did not think through parking here. I go here fairly often and any weekend, parking is a nightmare. Then getting on Rte 3 is also horrible - very short entranceway on the highway.
