    It's not a crowded place and there's not many tourists. There's tons of restaurants and shops and places to just sit. The Embarcadero Center actually consists of ten structures, but the shopping mall area is four buildings connected by skywalks. The mall is kind of small, comparable to the Crocker Galleria. Also, there's loads of plants and the architecture is unique because it's kind of half indoors and half outdoors. You could sit on one of the many benches or sit under a table umbrella on a skywalk and listen to the traffic pass by under you. However, I don't sit here a lot and usually use this as a shortcut to get from the financial district to about a block away from the Ferry Building.

    Quiet, with a recent influx of popup shops and several permanent stores. Nice place to hang around and grab a unique bite or just browse!

    Embarcadero 2 has the 2024 Chinese New Year Parade Dragon on display. This will be used in the parade on Saturday, February 24, 2023. Whenever there is a new dragon or lion, there is an Eye Dotting ceremony (awakening of the dragon); a ritual practiced by martial artists and monks. It protects the performers from harm. If you look closely, you might be able to see "red" coloring on the dragon's eyes. This ritual is only used once - before the dragon is used for performances/displays. If you have the opportunity, drop by to see it. It's located on the corner of Sacramento and Drumm Streets. If you have time, walk around the 4 Embarcaderos to see/visit the different shops and restaurants. There's even a post office.

    I love visiting Embarcadero, due to its plant collection. You'll find flowers of every season and the indoor plant collection is just so amazing. It has so many brads like Sephora, Sees Candies, Banana Republic, Blue Mercury etc but due to pendamic the charm has gone.

    Strolling in and around the Embarcadero Center was quite lovely. Beautiful architecture as well as picturesque views of the surrounding environment. It appears there were a number of shops that were a casualty of the pandemic, but many remain. Some excellent restaurants to choose from.

    Great place to work. Gray parking and wonderful places to eat. Have been around for 4 decades doing business and enjoying every bit.

    One of the first established business complexes in FiDi. The retail shops provide food, drinks, entertainment & fitness to all in the neighborhood. EC3 is exhibiting the famous Chinese New Year Parade dragon on the corner of Drumm & Sacramento Streets. My first time EVER seeing the dragon so close! Amazing 😉. Great place for outdoor events in Justin Hermann Plaza at EC4. Check it out...Ferry Building and SF Bay views.

    I went here to scout some photo locations to shoot various parts of the city from an overpass. There’s various spots to consider that overlook the streets and then there’s also the stairs. If your looking for a quick photo opportunity give this place a try, maybe it’s something for you.

    It's a clean spot in SF, nicely done overall. Visited the night of New Year's Eve - before the fireworks. It was absolutely empty, other than the host of Security Guards.

  • 5/5 Tam D. 1 year ago on Google
    I go there a lot because it's peaceful and I can do my steps. I have been studying there for a year. It's great so far.

    Just watch out for some of the security guards who have a god complex and take advantage of their position. They won’t help you if you’re being harassed on their property by someone else but they will certainly go out of their way to verbally harass you on their own. It’s frustrating to pay $35 a day to park (albeit great safe parking), to have one male security guard come absolutely unhinged on two women in broad daylight.

    My appointment was great, and once I arrived in the area, it was very easy to navigate the parking, elevators, stairs, lobby, etc. Beautiful building and gorgeous open spaces with art and plenty of tables in the main area.

    A great historical place for tourists to explore the islands from this place ferry building. The centre of San Francisco for big buildings, ferrys, shopping, stay, food etc.

    I am just utterly utterly disgusted with the security over at the Hyatt but this time I did not I was just walking through we sat down we got told to leave and move and all that and that it was closed it's an open area why is it closed but yet not only was I told to be to remove myself I was rudely yelled at threatened that if I didn't have my dog with me that would be different outcome. And I know that the police in San Francisco would not help me they would stick to their little underlings security people even though she was the most vicious woman and continued to threaten me the whole time I was there through embarcadero one through four until I finally got to the Hyatt where I had been staying. I had sat down next to a couple and was charging my phone and she comes over there and says you guys got to leave see what you did to me see what I did I ruined it for everybody she said why this is what she did is a complete verbal felony with a terrorist a strike and a violent criminal and believe me she was violent and she called me everything between a crack or Coke crank I don't know some kind of head. to a dirty low life. And all I did was be in the embarcadero after hours. even though it is a completely open . I want something done to this form of life it was after 10:00 and it was embarcadero 3 I believe where she chased me out calling me every name in the book and threatening me that if I did not have my dog I would be I'm serious trouble!!

    Cute mall, did not expect in SF. Lots of shops, loved the way it was laid out. If ever in area again would hope to return. During lunch there was some live music being played, was really cool.

    Fantastic shopping area. Indoor but outdoor, great ventilation. Great space to hang out too. Easy access for strolling. Near Ferry building and waterfront. Good security.

    I love the Embarcadero Center. The terrific 70s tile and the amazing world class sculptures. Stunning floral and green displays. It's really beautiful. Sadly, it's not as vibrant as it once was, looks like something out of Omega Man. Very few shops and eateries left. But still my favorite cinema in town. Oop! Cinema is gone now. So sad.

  • 5/5 Erica C. 1 year ago on Google
    This shopping mall is ideal for a shopping spree! This shopping center is truly incredible, and I'm grateful because it has everything I require. Also, the staves here are extremely attentive, and they politely accommodated all of my requests. Congratulations to all! Thank you a lot!

    Historic. Beautiful. Metropolitan. So many exclusive shops. You are basically at the waterfront and Ferry Building. Close to BART, Muni and the excitement that is Embarcadero Center!

    N I ce for walking on embarcadero

  • 4/5 Taylor C. 2 years ago on Google
    An absolutely gorgeous mall that is more than just shopping. As a tourist in SFO for a 49ers/Seahawks game, our hotel was right around the corner from this really neat shopping experience. The mall itself appears to be a renovated series of multi story buildings that have been pieced together to make up a gorgeous and interesting experience that you could easily spend days at. Different locations for both trendy and upscale food choices, a movie theater, and many of the brand stores that are relevant and popular. The mall itself is conveniently located on the bus line and at the end of the trolly line and is surrounded by more shopping and food venues. I highly recommend you make a stop here.

    Beautiful place, swanky shops, excellent views of area architecture. Enjoy embarcadero outside mall across buildings 1-4

  • 5/5 Loui K. 2 years ago on Google
    The shopping center was enormous, agreeable to stroll in and out, excellent nature of items, and decent staff. The stores, eateries, and exercise center on the principal floor were very noteworthy and ideal to chill.

    Other than H&M, I doubt I'll be able to afford anything around here anytime soon. It's always nice to window shop around here and check if they have similar stuff online or to scope out the latest trends. If you're a local, you can always spot someone you know walking around and roaming like you are or even work at one of the various shops here. Speaking about working here, there always seems to be places hiring everywhere!
