    This area is awesome for eating, drinking, chatting and shopping.many shops are here like whole food market, CVS formacy, Japanese sushi, pizza shop and many more. From here you can mail and take print in fedex and you can get internet connection for your mobile and home from spectrum and beside this here is AT n T for your choice. Many banks and ATM machines are available like Bank of America, CHASE bank, CITI BANK.

    There are a variety of stores to include places to get grocery items, clothing, housewares, and electronics. There are multiple selections for food also. Dining options include Chipotle, a greek kebab place, a place to get poke, and a Crumbl cookie store. The AMC theater is an all recliner theater. The common areas are well kept and there is lots of parking available.

    How fantastic! There's a Whole Foods on-site. And I can assure you I'm not the only one who is excited about this development.

    Nice shopping center with good restaurants and shops! It can be crowded and takes some time to get in or out of the parking but it is okay! I wish there was a water fountain somewhere and more trash cans! The CVS and the Wholefoods stores make a perfect combination for shopping.

    Best place for lunch in University city. Parking sometimes can be challenging though

  • 5/5 Steven E. 4 months ago on Google • 183 reviews
    A good mix of shops and restaurants. I don't see a ton of dogs here but it isn't rare either. Decent amount of parking, sometimes you just have to walk a bit.

    The Shops at La Jolla Village is undoubtedly a fantastic shopping destination, offering a diverse range of stores to suit all tastes and preferences. Visitors can indulge in a delightful shopping experience, browsing through an array of shops that cater to various budgets and styles. However, an area that could benefit from attention is the ambiance and lighting in the parking facility. Presently, the parking area might raise concerns, as its current lighting and overall appearance could potentially attract the wrong kind of attention. Enhancing the lighting and overall aesthetics would not only boost the visual appeal but also significantly contribute to a safer environment, ensuring visitors feel secure during their shopping endeavors. Despite this minor concern, the wide selection of shops and the overall shopping experience at The Shops at La Jolla Village make it a standout destination for anyone seeking a variety of retail options. With a thoughtful focus on enhancements like improved lighting and image, this shopping center has the potential to further elevate its charm and draw an even larger audience.

    I will never ever enter here again, I gave it three times the chance, and it always ends the same experience. The uncomfortable stares and following by the employees and the Arab looking security, I sense the uncomfortable feeling of discrimination with the looks in their faces. It's easy to discriminate, but I only tried to bring you business. And I don't know where theses people even get thier knowledge of me being a suspicious but I know that I've never given or shown criminal behavior to your store.

    Getting in and out of this place by car is nerve wracking. The main routes are unpleasant by bicycle. Walking would be worth considering if everything weren't spaced so far apart to support all the cars. At least bus stops are right out front. In the end, no one is particularly happy getting in or out of here. But once you're here, the selection of stores is quite nice. Most of your frequent needs, and even some less frequent needs can be met: drugstore open late, supermarket, FedEx, a few restaurants covering different cuisines... A bit overpriced in general though.

    Bjs usually always decent I love thick clam chowder and they got one the best here and sesame chicken salad is aweeesome

  • 5/5 Jaime C. 1 year ago on Google
    Love all the shops in one place. You can pretty much shop for all of yours and your families needs in one stop. It's perfect for large families or groups of friends. Plus they have places to sit and eat.

  • 5/5 Andrew G. 1 year ago on Google
    Well maintained parking lot. Parking is ample but you may have trouble finding a space near the high traffic areas like the Sprouts. The shops are wells selected like a post office and a taco shop all with close proximity to the neighborhood. It does scream suburban soccer mom here so be prepared.

  • 3/5 Galli 1 year ago on Google
    Strip mall. Nice big parking lot. However not all store spaces are rented & open. Do a good job keeping up parking lot. Sections were being resurfaced the day we were there & still plenty of parking.

  • 5/5 I. B. 1 year ago on Google
    What a variety of offerings from my favorite, The Melt to a Mediterranean fast food join and of course, Whole Foods in the center. This is great place to stop before a picnic at the beach. Lovely opportunity to stock up food and drinks and perhaps, charcuterie items for a bougie afternoon by the La Jolla Cove.

  • 5/5 Brandon C. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful little mall area with a wide variety of stores that are all well maintained. Love to come visit the area in my free time and do some shopping and grab a bite to eat.

  • 5/5 Patrick M. 1 year ago on Google
    Typical outdoor mall off Nobel Dr on La Jolla. Good restaurants, great food and shopping, and the trolley is just a few minutes walk.

  • 5/5 Lani D. 1 year ago on Google
    The cupcakes were sooo good. I thought they were going to be too sweet and too much icing but I was wrong. It was perfect. The place was cute and clean. Prices were fair.

  • 5/5 Ryan A. 1 year ago on Google
    I had such a great experience here. One of my favorite things about Whole Foods is that the food is sold complete as one full unit unlike other grocery stores where I get half the amount I’m supposed to get. I once bought a box of crackers at a competitor store and was 13 crackers shy of a full box. Not at Whole Foods though. I got the whole thing and that’s a win in my book.

  • 5/5 Nathan T. 10 months ago on Google
    Fantastic. Definitely a cut above. Many times these kinds of places are basically Denny's with flare. This is different. Great service, really quality ingredients and elevated cooking. The bacon was perfect. My eggs were actually over medium. The pancakes were divine. I would have had more than one Morning Margherita if I wasn't driving. Excellent spot for breakfast. Also, be sure to call ahead and get your name in the list by phone. 😎

    A great hot bar perfect for breakfast. The Creme Brulee French Toast is the best ever. It tastes more like a bread pudding.

  • 3/5 Salwa H. 5 months ago on Google • 18 reviews
    The Buffet Sucks sometimes ☺️ sometimes good .... Everything is More Expensive than other places For Nothing Not even a Better quality .... Security guys there are Very Helpful ... More Helpful than Any Employees there ... Why ? All good

  • 4/5 Helen H. 9 months ago on Google
    One of the best Whole Foods in the country. Always clean. Always well stocked. Always a great selection of soups. My only criticism is they close the coffee bar too early!

  • 5/5 D A. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite stop for fresh food. The hot bar has a variety of tasty foods. I recommend the salmon teriyaki bowl with brown rice, which is prepared at the time you order it. Delicious!

  • 4/5 B. C. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything you want as a tourist. Also a new thing or two as a local. Nice place. Plan on spending if you plan on buying.("

  • 3/5 Everett D. 2 years ago on Google
    Adequate at best. Not rotten.... but not great either. Chief among the notable shortcomings, is parking. You can expect to do at LEAST two or three parking lot laps before you get lucky enough to find someone pulling out. Another opportunity for improvement would be by adding charging stations for electric cars. There was no visible security officer on the property and I was in the parking lot for about an hour. All that said, the selection of shops is adequate and worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Princess 2 years ago on Google
    Whole Foods has always been a clean place for me to go to when running errands. Always feel welcomed, always willing to help customers find what they are looking for, and the quick lunch specials are very DELICIOUS. My danger zone is walking past the bakery section, as I will ALWAYS buy everything "as a sample" of course.

  • 4/5 Brandi P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little mall close to UTC and UCSD. There is plenty for shopping and eating in this little mall or even While Foods where you can grab groceries and a quick but to eat along with a beer. A lot has changed in this area over the years. Overall a great place to shop and dine.

  • 4/5 Niechelle W. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice plaza with many shopping and dining options. Traffic can be hairy, though, so be patient!

  • 4/5 Rudy E. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice shops good place to look around.

  • 5/5 Karima K. 1 year ago on Google
    It is definitely a outstanding grocery store and health food store with great variety and delicious warm and cold sandwiches and one of a kind pizzas🍕

  • 5/5 Ruta P. 2 years ago on Google
    This is really great shops complex but parking is very small- it gets pretty tough to find parking, sometimes even in the middle of the day. I used to live across the street (before they build Nordstrom) and after that parking became an issue. Other than that its great place to come to run errands or just relax. Very clean and well organized, and well looked after.

  • 5/5 Adela B. 2 years ago on Google
    All the tasty food and drinks concentrated in one place! I love it! Variety, for all tastes and needs. I recommend it 100%. The prices are not very cheap but when you enter and smell the tasty food in the cafeteria it is worth it.

  • 4/5 Heidi Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good Happy Hour prices, food and drinks. You can sit inside or outside next to the firepit. Very relaxing atmosphere. Service was good as well.

  • 5/5 Cherilyn J. 1 year ago on Google
    Busy and lots of car and foot traffic, but tons of great shops and eateries. Whole Foods in’s an anchor store there and has a great selection of fresh ready to eat options.

  • 3/5 Janice C. 1 year ago on Google
    Of the two phones i wanted at Best Buy, only two of the most expensive model in stock. Also, rowdy kids were running in and out of the store. Employees were powerless to dtop them. Disappointing.

  • 5/5 Suzanne S. 1 year ago on Google
    I was at The Rack searching for an impossible color top. All three people I interacted with were kind, helpful and very nice. Found what I wanted at Banana Republic.

  • 5/5 Stephen B. 1 year ago on Google
    Always a pleasant visit although parking is sometimes a challenge. A wide variety of spots with delicious food, friendly people and a clean environment. CAVA was delicious and Sprinkles cupcakes hit the spot.

  • 4/5 Veneckyclam H. 1 year ago on Google
    The shops there are lovely. They have some food shops, some grocery shops, some furniture shops, clothes shops, a movie theater… We always come back here! Lot of selection of different things here, you should definitely check it out!

  • 4/5 Cheryl M. 1 year ago on Google
    I come here sometimes to shop at Trader Joe's and then discovered Mendocino Fams. I love the place. The food is very good.I liked the farm sandwich, the corn chowder and the chicken salad substituting tofu for the chicken. The tofu was good 👍. The water glasses are small, but the drinks are not far from the table. I filled 2 for myself and refilled them once. The decor is nice and they have a lot of outdoor tables because the weather is pretty much always nice in La Jolla. For some reason I felt like the tables weren't cleaned often, but the entered arrived on metal trays with placemats and napkins so it didn't matter how long since the last table wipe. Yes, they brought the food to the table! There is a QR Code on the table. Scan it with your phone and then enter the code from your receipt, and the servers will bring your meal to you - even though you wait in line and place your order up at the counter. I also like the huge, eye-level menú that is close enough to read without binoculars. This was my 3rd visit because I really like the food here.

  • 5/5 Em S. 1 year ago on Google
    This mall has everything you need and more quite a few nice places to eat be nice places to eat but nothing fancy.

  • 5/5 I'm me That g. 1 year ago on Google
    I was really taken back by all the fruits and vegetables they had on display. I loved how they organized their products down every aisle. It was my first time going inside the store. Although, I have seen this store many times I never went because, I always assumed they were expensive but they are not. And if you are a prime member the prices are even lower. The store is immaculate and customer service is out of this world. Shouts out to the butcher folks they gave me the best choices of meat with a smile and have a great day. I will shop here again and again.
