Not a bad little shopping centre with Coles, Vodafone, Australia Post and some other shops. My only gripe with this shopping centre is Kmart, without Kmart it’s a bit quieter, otherwise great and super convenient. The best thing about this shopping centre is parking.

It's a sufficient medium sized shopping centre with places for groceries and other types of goods. It has access to a tram and it's not difficult at all to navigate.

“Good thing about shopping centre is the customers around here are really generous and polite comparing to the customer attitudes in other centres ….” Quoting a salesperson of this centre ;)

The plaza feels old fashion and run down. Lots of empty shops. The open air donut stall adds a delightful greasy oil smell to the entire plaza. Plus the men's loo High St end, has no toilet seats. So be sure to practice squatting. This is a beautiful place to shop.

Daggiest mall in Melbourne but also useful and full of weird

Pro Barber at Northcote Plaza are very professional & very cheap as well. Thank you Ben & Mo.

I have been here on and off over the years (15yrs). I’ve seen its highs and lows… the loss Kmart didn’t help… Coles x 2 and liquorland are consistent…..

In my opinion not a pleasurable shopping experience. Who in their right mind places a busy park in between the two buildings that make up the shopping center? The center comes across as rundown and depressing. One building has a Coles store at either end. Both stores have different layouts. In the other building, an Aldi and an under cover carpark. The smaller tenants were relatively non descript so did not leave a lasting impression on me to recall what they were. I do recall a very busy butcher near one of the Coles stores, so assume they were good. If you were a local, it would be convenient for grocery shopping but, if you're looking for a shopping experience, look elsewhere.

Has all the products i required for my shopping ?. Coles Supermarket, Sight & Sound ? (DVDs, CDs), Romatino's Free Range Butchers (Very Good Quality Products) & Limnos Island Fisheries.

Good local small shopping centre where the traders get to know you and give personal service

Cosy place, have three supermarket, k mart , two vegetables independent shops and two meat shops plus other business like flight center, flowers shop, foods shops. Almost you can find every thing. Good place to do shopping and cup of coffee?

The newsagent is excellent,the staff are very helpful

North cote is a good place to go you have lots of shops there

I'm still not over the loss of the K-mart, but what are you going to do? 2 Coles. 2 pharmacies that are related to each other. 2 cheap shops. It's such a unique shopping centre it should be included in tourist brochures. Will they have what you need? Will there be some random shop stocking that random item? Who knows - but it's part of the fun.

It's like going back in time to the 90s, love it. Derelict in the best way

The whole centre needs a facelit. It looks old, dirty and the exterior is covered in graffiti

Honestly this place really sucks since Kmart left. Super hard to get a good coffee, the food options are really limited and there’s maybe three shops that are worth your time. Two of them are coles.

There is definitely a good side to the plaza and a not-so-good side. The tobacconist on the High Street side should really be shown the door unfortunately. She doesn't belong there as she has the manners of a goat. The other side is much more lively and welcoming.

Enveloped by an amazing ambience and palpable vibe,Northcote Plaza Shopping centre is my go to place when I'm feeling the desire to go on a major shopping spree. It is also of such great convenience as it literally has such a vast array of diverse and different business outlets under the one roof,that will surely enthrall,entice and satisfy your buying needs. Aesthetically,the Plaza is infinitely enveloped by sheer opulence which is conducive in enhancing and intensifying an already amazing experience at shopping at such an amazing and sublime shopping centre.Added to this,the employees as well as management who work at this shopping centre are so friendly and accommodating and are not averse in going out of their way in ensuring that there respective customers achieve complete satisfaction,they are both dedicated,diligent and passionate about their roles and obligations as employees at this business outlet,and impart the absolute pinnacle of superlative skills in ensuring that your shopping experience at this store will be both sublime and unforgettable. In conclusion to my rather extensive review,I would just like to add that if your in need of fulfilling your shopping desire,then I have no hesitation in vehemently recommending that you pay a visit to Northcote Plaza,you will not be disappointed,five star service guaranteed.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

This complex has a wide range of wares, and something I like; it hasn't changed for the 20 years I've been in the area. That will annoy some, be for me its nice to have a constant around. What's notable and odd here is there are two Coles stores, the Northern one a big bigger than the Southern one. A decent number of food choices too, plus a nice deli and jewellery shop.

It is getting refurbished, it’s been there for years, but it does have some good shops. Supermarkets, delicatessens etc, and cafes, and it has a has a fantastic park playground at the rear of the centre. It will great when CAThe complex is completed.

Time for an update. They also need to get rid of one of the coles supermarkets and make way for some competition! I don’t think I have been to any small shopping complex that has two large coles supermarkets. They also had Kmart but they closed the only good store in the plaza.

Poorly set out, ill conceived. It has two Coles supermarkets , and they also removed the Kmart. Virtually no food court and you would struggle to find something decent to eat while you were there. This is very much an in-out job.

I have lived in Northcote my whole life and growing up I worked at the Plaza at several places, over the years the Plaza itself seems to have just gotten worse and worse, once upon a time Kmart was the best thing here but seems like Kmart did not renew their contracts with the Plaza and that's no surprise since there is no update to the interior or stores, no other department stores, almost no clothing places left (certainly no male places), the Plaza has had many shops closed down and it seems for such a great suburb of Melbourne the shopping Plaza is let down by it's lack of update & lack of stores. There is two Coles in the Northcote Plaza leading from the days where Coles group did not want any competition In the Plaza so they swooped in and took the other groceries shop and made it a Coles. This place is in desperate need of some major retailers jumping on board and serious update. If I am not mistaken private owners have been trying with council to get approvals to expand the Plaza in levels and bring on some redevelopment with possible addition of a cinema and additional shops and restaurants, I believe council has been difficult. I really hope this Plaza gets a much needed update and Northcote Plaza can finally be a go to place for shopping. Overall it only serves as a place to go when you need groceries or something from the discount stores, your choices in shopping for anything outside of that is limited.

What can I say........it looks like the plaza is suffering from a slow and painful death with two Coles supermarkets feeding on the corpse like sharks on a dead whale. What would be awesome is if we could reimagine the entire plaza....imagine a Preston Market in the heart of Northcote?? Still, I shop here to support the locals.

Quite popular amongst the older generations, it is relatively small but has enough diversity of businesses that you can find a few things. It has two Coles supermarkets only a couple stores apart which is... odd. The Kmart closed down so if you're looking for one the best bet is Northland shopping centre. Average.

Basic Plaza, has your Supermarket $2 dollar store and bakery. Four different takeaway joints, Liqour store and other amenities are connected but not inside the Plaza complex.

Only has two Coles outlets. Otherwise fine.

The staffer at bakers delight was not as expected. Very helpful. Well presented

Good range of shops. 2 Coles. Yes 2 Coles. 1 Aldi but 0 Woolworths. For some reason i have a fondness for this place. It ain't pretty but is very functional. Fishmonger down the side is excellent next to the delicatessen.

Everything except a Woollies. Sadly the broadest menu in town (Thyme To Eat) has closed so no more bangers and mash. Next best is North Seafood & grill (forget Deganis) and Kmart has gone to make space for another horrible tower blocking views from All Nations Park.

It's in a great place. Though there are a lot of shops that have abandoned their stores. It needs us to get offline and support our local stores

Everything here . Reject shop ,Post Office are a bonus. Except kmart has disappeared during the lockdown .

Used to love going here when I was younger but now that they got rid of the K-mart I don’t really enjoy going as much there’s still plenty of great stores however so it’s still a great place to shop and if you wanna get something from coles you’re in luck because they have two stores so if you love shopping at coles this is the place to go just know there’s no longer a Kmart and instead the shell of what once was just an empty large liminal room so keep that in mind hope they put something there soon as it’s been like a year or more since it was shut down and I realise I should not be putting this much energy on something that’s been gone for like more than a year TLDR: Great place for general shopping they two coles and they sadly no longer have a Kmart but they have other stores to check out

The whole shopping centre needs a complete revamp/refresh as it is stuck in the 1980s. The introduction of a more lively range of cafes and restaurants is what is needed and a more diverse range of shops. The Kmart that is presently there has been sold and will close down in November 2020 as will the two Coles stores so enjoy the convenience while you can! Parking has never been a problem when I have visited generally on a weekend.

Northcote plaza is a classic plaza, Coles is modern here, great place to shopping and grab everything you need.

social distancing happens here- more due to community well done we returned for that reason

Easy access, not crowded, quick shopping

Much cleaner and brighter than previous visit. Site is in 2 parts, separated by a road. Has several cafes, all well patronized. Not cram packed with customers, shopping is almost pleasurable.

Nice small cozy mall. The best Degani restaurant is there.The food their is great and staff are amazing! There are 2 coles stores in there which makes it convenient for stock while shopping. The park at the mall is perfect and Tranquil!!

This is a great place to shop, they even have 2 Coles stores. Shopping for the wife.:)

Very old and not mobility friendly.

It's alright. Decent small plaza. Has most of what you'll need. Nothing amazing though. Would be better if parking wasn't always a night mare.

Comfy

Ample parking and not too big a shopping place ie can get around quickly with no fuss

It's a community plaza. There are some fantastic shops here such as the deli and the florists. I've never understood why there are two Coles and it's great the are has a Kmart. Generous parking, but the plaza needs an upgrade. Also more security presence would be great as sometimes, just sometimes it doesn't feel safe.

Great community of people, would recommend

like it.

Great little shopping center Fabulous hairdresser opposite Coles Priceline had all I were looking for with some good sales on & the service was great, the young lady serving me knew products very well Suzanne's were very friendly & helpful & has great service!

Great fun

A very reluctant 2 stars. Almost the most disappointing visit EVER in my 30 yr existance!!!! ?

Needs a facelift and improvement in amenities.

It's local but you can still find what you want. Big park right next door means you can combine exercise/leisure with shoppinh

Old, left back in the 80s

Found Frank with another Bird ?

Pretty good shopping centre with shops that are good too

Very good centre... Nearly everything you need.

Always very good

Downmarket feeling suburban shops. A bit grim.

lots of good bargains

Got everything there

Value for money

Dirty stinky ugly shopping centre

yes.

Great shops

This centre needs a lot of work. Dirty and old.

Plenty of shops, it's a quiet shopping centre

Not very inspiring

Tried and rundown

Good

This plaza is my local but there could be more things 2 Coles really more things that are better please also very old building

Good place for some casual shopping

Love shopping here the staff are very friendly always their to

Plazadeli shop 30 is the best ,and most authentic deli in Melbourne 🥰😍

Was served at the checkout today by a man named Rob. He was very friendly and helpful despite being on checkout with a shoulder injury. Helpful, friendly staff make for a much better shopping experience 😊

Good, small shopping centre with shops for a quick bite, gaming, health, phone and internet needs, grocery shopping, shoe repairs and key cutting, variety shop as well as a pet store and tatts outlet.

I have a massive soft spot for this place. Northcote Plaza Shopping Centre is home to the eternal riddle of the mysterious two branches of Coles. An inscrutable enigma. Good parking.

Great little shopping centre with lovely stores. Great for personal service!

If you want a trip back in time and a great range of food check it out

Had stores, pretty neat

Good place to go shopping, good community, and awesome shops.

Ok if you like average kind of shopping and looking. Not much here except for the big Coles and Woolworths:+

Needs upgrading ,, needs some trendy retail outlets

This mall has some basic shops and 2 coles locations.Aldi is the best retailer in the mall. It is in serious need of a major upgrade. The population in the area deserves better options.

Lost it's charm of shopping there nowadays. Two sets of coles and no Kmart or smokemart and no security to fine the people who don't have a disability displayed on their car.

Small Plaza but got everything you need. Three nail shops 2 hairdressers + food..even 2 Coles. Nails done hair done tummy happy and shopping on the way out.

This shopping centre has what you need, supermarkets, Coles, Aldi, Ebgames, clothing, flowers, beauty & massage, bakery & other shops and cafes but in need of an update/makeover.

A shell of its former glory. Two Coles supermarkets and that’s about it. Kmart shutting down years ago was the final straw. It has an EBgames, a few two dollar shop’s. Two massage places. Three!!! Pharmacies and a donut king basically.

It has a few good shops here but no Kmart now and 2 Coles which is weird.

Ever since Kmart closed the plaza seems to have lost a core part of it that remains strangely empty. Now it's more about running into the good Coles and leaving asap

Good place to shop still after 16yrs. Butchers in centre have product lines that most older generations would recognise. Great Service & Businesses

Food eateries very ordinary. No ambience. Two Coles supermarkets excessive. The plaza both sides very ugly. Need to lift the quality of shops.

The centre is in desperate need of a renovation. The quality of many of the shops is bargain basement level and many stores have shut up shop. We only go here to do our grocery shopping from 1 on the 2 Coles supermarkets in the plaza

Chicken shop has Dim Sims, Potato Cakes and Savs in Batter... What more do you need?

The most depressing Melbourne establishment still in existence. Adding more Coles doesn't make it better.

Pretty average. This place has one too many Coles and one too little Kmart's.

Old plaza selling all kinds of stuffs. Many Eldery people chillax in here.

Run down shopping centre in need of a re-vamp. That being said, with two Coles supermarkets and a K-mart it is highly functional for your everyday needs.

I like northcote plaza. It's got everything you need, heaps of parking, even undercover underground parking. And the tram stops right out the front, the 86 to docklands and rmit.

No more Kmart but two Coles

Nice shopping centre with everything available. Coles, butchers, seafood and enough specialty shops.

It’s good enough but a little quiet. It should have more clothing stores

Most day to day needs can be purchased here. Florist , cafes bakeries excellent

This is a convenient place but it seems that it could be managed better and even upgraded a bit.
