    My favourite Garage/Dynamite outlet store in the city! The girls who work here make your shopping experience fun, they help you find exactly what you need - customer service 10/10 and the cleanliness is impressive for being an outlet store. I've seen some pretty messy outlet stores so shopping the sale section here is such a breeze (HELLO COLOUR COORDINATION)

    Great if you are combining shopping fir food and DiY as home depot is behind. Parking can be challenging.

    The plaza has changed a lot over the years for the better. From what was once a clothes shopping spot, it's now a hub for quite an array of international fast food. From shawarma to Thai to Korean corn dogs, this plaza hits every craving. If all else fails, there's a massive Loblaws, not to mention a fast food selection of its own.

    Good variety of stores. The space could be much more people oriented and much less car oriented. Would be a great change to see when the new LRT line comes in. Some cute sitting spots but not much of a true square.

    This little strip mall is getting better and better. I have lived in the same area for about 5 years and have watched it evolve into what it is today, a brilliant melting pot of food. Albeit could still use more authentic restaurants as opposed to franchised food chains i am happy with it's offerings now compared to a couple years ago when it was mostly clothing stores. This mall includes: Loblaw/Joe fresh LCBO Rexall/pharmacy/postal service: Canada Post Suzy sheer (clothing) Shiny Budd (marijuana dispensary) Dollarama Chances R (sit-in restaurant) Chatters (hair care products) Osmows (Mediterranean food) Mucho burrito Reitmans (clothing) Kettlemans (bagels, open literally 365 24/7) Popeye's (fried chicken) Dynamite/Garage (clothing) Sports 4 Carter's/Oshkosh (children's clothing) Tommy Hilfiger (clothing) Carrier studio (clothing) Bath and body works La vie en rose Allo Mon coco (sit-in breakfast: HUGE portions) Starbucks College square dental Thai express Edo japan Goncha/Changchun (bubble tea/rice hotdog- think pogos that be extra) Fido (cell phone) Rogers BMO (bank) Beer store.

    Kind of ironic that it's not a square. Unless I don't remember what squares are. To be honest, geography wasn't my strong suit. I am proud to say though that there were very few bugs to be seen. Very good, happy people can be found here.

  • 5/5 Tyler V. 8 months ago on Google • 90 reviews
    Killer collection of stores in one parking lot. One of the better Loblaws ringed with Kettlemans, Going Cha, both types of liquor stores and lots more. Better than trainyards if you include the home depot behind it.

  • 2/5 jerry m. 7 months ago on Google • 37 reviews
    Too many college students. Not a variety of stores . There could ve a Giant Tiger store and more clothing stores and Resturants. People drive recklace in the square . I don't think the square is good for tourism to shop in

    They love to give PARKING TICKETS. My wife had a doctor's appointment, then shopped at Dynamite and Bath..., met her friend for lunch at Allo Mon Coco, went to Starbucks, and received a parking ticket, even though we presented all the receipts, the best they were able to do was cut the ticket in half.

    Love the Loblaws at this location its pretty big we love going here to do our shopping especially the fact they have a Tim Hortans inside so when you do your shopping you can go get a coffee they also have a great meals to go area very big selection.

  • 1/5 Elaine H. 10 months ago on Google
    Be warned that you cannot park at this mall more than 2 hours!! The signage about this detail is 10 ft high on a few posts within the lot. I was just getting back to my car when the parking lot person was writing me up and that's when I was informed that the max is 2 hours. I had gone to lunch at one of the eateries and spent money at 3 shops. As he was just writing the ticket I said I was just heading out after spending time, and money at the "mall" can I not get a ticket? He agreed to not give me a ticket and he left, without giving me the ticket, so imagine my surprise when I got a notice for a parking fine from the City of Ottawa for $95! I am never returning to this mall. I'd rather spend my money at another mall and take my time having lunch then shopping and enjoying my time instead of feeling rushed and risking another parking ticket fine.

    Went to the Home Depot to pick up a few things, and I am really grateful for the help and expertise I got in two different departments in the store.

  • 3/5 Jeff O. 10 months ago on Google
    Parking sucks. Every spot is so tight and close together, and drivers are idiots and speed through the zones. Stores are great.

  • 1/5 Henry D. 11 months ago on Google
    This place is just not cool. I feel bad for the kids of Algonquin that this is their local grocery, pharmacy, and place to buy liquor, weed, and fried chicken. All these places are more expensive than counterpart stores in different locations in the city, which means people who shop there are paying a higher rate for essentials which sounds like gouging in my book.

  • 3/5 James D. 10 months ago on Google
    Meh! It's nothing special. Lots of fast food restaurants. Home Depot and Loblaws are among the bigger ones in Ottawa. I find the HD to have inventory issues from time to time. Descent retail department at HD.

  • 5/5 OY C. 10 months ago on Google
    Everything you need. Groceries at loblaws are expensive, but there os a Dollar ama there too for some essentials. Lotsnof takeout choices. O particularly like the.Asian section of ChungChun, GongCha, Edo and Thai express all right beside each other. Beer store and LCBO right there too. Always lots of parking. The parking lot always feels safe = no unhoused people loitering around there.

  • 5/5 Kristen G. 11 months ago on Google
    Many stores with a walkable distance between them. Has options for groceries, clothing, self care, home goods, and a few fast food options. Great options for the college students nearby and non-students as well.

  • 3/5 Francine Alicia “snowbeegirl” Laing D. 11 months ago on Google
    I. Was sitting. In my car talking with a friend. When two cop cars were. Parked. Side by side.. I don't. Know if they were looking. At things. Or. People.

  • 5/5 Thomas P. 1 year ago on Google
    There is a kosher section - a counter and two aisles! There is a weed shop. A shawarma place. Kettlemans! Allo Mon effing coco! For those who miss going out with their grandparents there is Chances R. A drug store. Dollarama. Starbucks for the thirsty sheep amongst us (yes. I am one of them). That:s all.

  • 5/5 Mee B. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything you need in one place. Handy mall to have close to me. Everything from groceries to pharmacy to sit down restaurants. Tons of places in between. Busy parking lot though. Just make sure if walking or driving you are aware of whats around you.

  • 4/5 Adriann P. 1 year ago on Google
    Loblaws is incredibly over priced, yet prides themselves on their "locked in prices" in response to inflation. That is only their no-name brand. Their no-name is the priciest of all generic brands. The store itself has good service and nice employees

  • 5/5 Gina E. 1 year ago on Google
    Most amazing experience. While I was trying to get some groceries, I was passing by the flowers corner, I was gently approached by the young lady to ask me if I needed any help. She was so awesome the way she promoted her flowers, without being assertive!!! I ended up buying two beautiful pots of flowers and two bunches of cut tulips. Emma is her name and congratulations for hiring people like Emma. I didn't go to buy flowers but she made them tempting. Very happy with the experience ☺️

  • 3/5 Steve W. 1 year ago on Google
    Wht they build these box malls in a cold place like Ottawa I'll never know. In winter the experience is abysmal. Cold, Dangerous ice underfoot. Diabolical moving from one store to another in high winds with below zero temps for months on end. I only go here if I absolutely have to. Bloody awful.

  • 5/5 Adam -. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of great shops here. The home Depot is the reason I went there. The Loblaws is the largest in Ottawa and has everything you need when it comes to groceries

  • 4/5 H �. 1 year ago on Google
    Easy parking and close to buses. Lots of shops and eating places in College Square. Huge Loblaws store.

  • 4/5 John B. 2 years ago on Google
    Strip mall with a good variety of stores

  • 5/5 Sharon V. 2 years ago on Google
    Was at Kettleman's bagel. The store is well stocked, reasonably priced, and clean. The staff is friendly and efficient. Great bagels and sandwiches. I highly recommend

  • 5/5 Tonja K. 2 years ago on Google
    Many popular businesses and stores with lots of free parking.

  • 2/5 nikita R. 2 years ago on Google
    Other than groceries, I avoid the place. I don't know what to say, people drive like idiots, there seems to be a distinct lack of respect for others. I prefer to click n collect on the weekdays, mid morning afternoon, I have been avoiding drivinging there in the am or late afternoon. I find the parking spots too small. The organisation of the prkng lot is laid out poorly, leaving an accident waiting to happen. N

  • 5/5 Grace D. 2 years ago on Google
    This mall is easily accessible with plenty of parking and a variety of well known stores and eateries.

  • 5/5 Angelina R. 2 years ago on Google
    Has a little bit of everything when all the stores are open. I love the restaurants, I've been to all of them. I frequently go to the loblaws there because the prices and deals are better than the other locations because this one is near to the college.

  • 5/5 Ken S. 2 years ago on Google
    Loblaws, LCBO,Beer Store ,rexall and others are all easily accessible. Great variety of stores.

  • 5/5 Anita E. 1 year ago on Google
    This outdoor mall always has a bit of everything - restaurants, pharmacy, grocery, liquor, dollar store and a few outlet stores. It's great for an hour or two of shopping and running errands.

  • 5/5 Usman A. 1 year ago on Google
    This shopping area is a gem in the area with many eateries, brand stores, dollarama, Banks, gym and many more. Parking is ample. The Loblaws store has Joe fresh, Tim Hortons and Goodlife in it and super busy all the time. There are other businesses close by as well, such as Macdonalds nearby, Home depot and what not.

  • 5/5 Culzean1 1 year ago on Google
    A really great collection of businesses and stores conveniently located at Woodroffe and Baseline Rd. You will find Loblaws grocery store, LCBO, Beer Store, Rexall, Dollarama, along with multiple restaurants and clothing stores. Lots of parking and certainly never any problem with access.

  • 5/5 That G. 1 year ago on Google
    After 9pm the half price display case food is a pretty good deal. Besides that is just like every other location

  • 4/5 Brenda S. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice well kept mall with a good selection of stores and restaurants. I've been shopping here regularly for over 10 years and I will keep shopping here for many more years to come. Chances R restaurant is a great place to eat, either indoors or on the patio with a wide variety of culinary delights to choose from. Loblaws in College Square is a nice large clean well stocked grocery store with a fantastic seasonal garden centre where I buy my plants every Spring. And I discovered how great the bagels are at Kettleman's here in College Square. Lots more great stores to visit!

  • 5/5 Lisa M. 1 year ago on Google
    I always love College Square mall. My 2 favorite stores!! Starbucks and Bath and body works. If I want to go in and grocery shop as well everything is right there.

  • 4/5 Laurie F. 1 year ago on Google
    The loblaws is a fair size. It has a good selection of foods. Plus with the added clothing section. The Joe fresh clothes are good for casual dressing. The Walk In Medical centre. As its closed . You have to do online zoom calls. You have The Dollar Rama, kettlemans Bagels, Pop eye Chicken, Bath n body works , Tommy Hilfiger, La vien rose, chances R restaurant. Lots of stores

  • 5/5 Ryan 1 year ago on Google
    These box stores, which pop up everywhere it seems, have a little bit of everything you need I find, especially college square shopping plaza. It is conveniently located next to the transit-way so getting to and from these designations are a breeze! Friendly staff in most of the establishments, and many, many options for what you may or may not be looking for!

  • 1/5 Keri C. 1 year ago on Google
    parked to grab brunch with a friend and grab groceries. there for maybe 2 hours and was given a $70 ticket. tried to dispute and was told to call the property. tried calling the number on google and was told it was the wrong number. no way to contact anyone for the ridiculous ticket i received

  • 4/5 Simon S. 1 year ago on Google
    There are several interesting stores there, most notably Loblaws. Because of the proximity to Algonquin College, it is vibrant with many buyers and visitors. However, the design of the mall is car-centric, just like most malls in North America, so it is tricky by bike.

  • 4/5 Helen B. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place to get groceries, have brunch, find fresh bagels, shop at Garage/Dynamite and grab pharmacy essentials.

    The garbages near all the food places are always overflowing onto the ground. It has been like that for over a year. They need some better maintenance guys because the ones they have obviously don't do their job
