    Just visited the renovated Starbucks which has a new decor package that I did not see anywhere else. The only thing that I did not like are the new patio chairs that have a low back and are not very comfortable.

    Visited this plaza today first time in a while since we’ve been there. Some great stores in this area like Sportchek, Urban Barn, Starbucks and Winners. Lots of parking available here. The place is very clean and accessible.

    A unique layout compared to the run of the mill smart centres in other parts of the GTA. The stores surround an enclosed parking quadrangle and while primarily chain stores, the plaza does have design elements that unify the look and gives it a more upscale feel. Has massive anchors like Sobey's, Best Buy, Sportchek, a starbucks, Roots, and a nice LCBO, and is adjacent to a standalone Home depot.

    Great little venue with core Winners, LCBO and Sobeys. Home Depot is right next door and Costco is a short drive away as well as Staples and Canadian Tire.

  • 5/5 Toronto Living T. 1 year ago on Google • 428 reviews

    The new smart centre in city of Vaughn is one of the best. You can have whatever you need. In the middle of the city. The subway is very close by. With many condos which is good places for live. Many businesses offices are there and. Huge parking lot. Very nice and clean.

    Good location and access when you get there and parking was a breeze. I can't say much more because I went to see my dentist.

  • 2/5 No X. 7 months ago on Google • 69 reviews
    Not much here. Stores are boring. Sobeys is expensive. Winners is crowded. South st burger is ..eww. Sunset grill was okay but it reminds me of my ex boyfriend. Oh but there's a freshii..that's cool except the server was rude but maybe she had a hard day like the rest of us. Lots of parking.

  • 5/5 David C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of retail with spacious stores, and also good food choices in the plaza.

  • 5/5 Don S. 1 year ago on Google
    Favourite strip mall. Lots of parking. Selection of stores getting smaller...

  • 4/5 Tyrell B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great assortment of stores in this leaside plaza, parking lots are generally pretty full throughout the days after 5 and weekends , usually visiting for best buy, winners, RBC Bank and home Depot which is further in the back of the plaza.

  • 5/5 Clara Eugenia Reyes A. 1 year ago on Google
    Easy to park. Accessible. Good stores.

  • 5/5 Paula V. 1 year ago on Google
    Plenty of parking, including accessible spots close to the shops, restaurants and RBC bank. Home Depot, Sobeys, Golf Town, Winners, Sports Check, LCBO, KFC and so much more.

  • 3/5 Bill T. 1 year ago on Google
    This is actually a pretty good shopping precinct in the cities east end. I down grade it here two stars because it is way too car centric and and the massive car park means it is neither practical or safe to walk around in between stores. Not all the mall owners fault as this a transit deprived neighbourhood. But the pedestrian realm could most definitely be improved for both safety and convenience and even profitability, eh Smart Centres.

  • 5/5 Jessica F. 1 year ago on Google
    Never really went in to any store just biked to the RBC 24 hr ATM.

  • 5/5 Vince D. 1 year ago on Google
    All the stores are wheelchair accessible and have a friendly atmosphere. Great sale prices. Lots of free parking.

  • 5/5 Dave B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great selection of shops but parking was a bit doggy, tis the season.

  • 2/5 John N. 1 year ago on Google
    What a horrible, American style shipping area. Where everything is oversized and not geared towards pedestrians at all. I guess that's the point. But it seems very dated and irresponsible in today's world. Do better smart centres. The store selection is good though. Just make sure you bring a car.

  • 4/5 Demetri M. 1 year ago on Google
    I think every store here is accessible. Home Depot, Best Buy, Canadian Tire on the next block. Easily spend half a day checking out the area.

  • 5/5 Henrique T. 1 year ago on Google
    There is an excellent variety of shopping mall stores at this location. Also several parking lot spots, also is very clean.

  • 5/5 Mike N. 1 year ago on Google
    Good little community plaza right in the heart of the community. Parking isn't an issue which makes this extra special. If you're in the area, this plaza will certainly prove to be useful.

  • 4/5 Loni F. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a very nice and modern outdoor mall. Great stores but a lot of walking. I like the walking but if you don't you may have to move your car from one end of the plaza to the other... Lol

  • 5/5 M3RK G. 9 months ago on Google
    Really nice shopping centre to get most of your needs there depending on what you want

  • 5/5 Maurice M. 9 months ago on Google

  • 4/5 Fadi S. 8 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 James K. 3 months ago on Google • 37 reviews New
    Great bunch of shops. Home Depot is my fave

  • 4/5 Paulo Dal P. 2 years ago on Google
    Good shopping experience, good food options but the stores don't do anything different to attract people; no promotions, no events, nothing

  • 4/5 Kassie D. 2 years ago on Google
    Fort York has a solid array of eclectic events. I've done a couple themed tours that were really nice, it's also pretty much just like a nice park to chill in. Their events where they do movie screenings are particularly good and their concerts.

  • 5/5 Dawn L. 2 years ago on Google
    Large shopping centre with many shops and restaurants. A decent amount of parking. I liked that it's open and shops are well spaced.

  • 5/5 Alfonso V. 2 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Keven M. 2 years ago on Google
    As far as plazas with a big box stores, this one has the major ones (Home Depot, Winners, Best Buy), and an LCBO store to top it off. Bring your car.

  • 5/5 Mairaj Q. 2 years ago on Google
    Indeed an excellent spot for people. Plenty of parking spaces, easily accessible by mass transit or personal conveyance. Availability of good branded stores and affording customers

  • 4/5 Aidan P. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 patricia m. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Max Q. 1 year ago on Google
    One nice centre with all I need in it. Clean, lots of parking and located with easy Access.

  • 5/5 Rula A. 2 years ago on Google
    Always good. Nice variety of shops. Kids, grownups, sports, coffee shop (Starbucks) , a Best Buy, LCBO, a supermarket Sobey’s and others. Everything is a walking distance from this center to the next plaza.

  • 1/5 Hello W. 2 years ago on Google
    Horrible design. Even thought the stores are next to the road, it is basically the backdoor, an eyesore. there are NO LOCAL BUSINESSES here, so the same stuff as pretty much anywhere. Such a place so close to downtown and homes should have been built more pederstrian friendly. I won’t mind having parking ‘in the back’ if it means I can safely walk from store to store.

  • 5/5 Maggie P. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely the best place to shop because most of the chains eg Best Buy, Home Depot, Sobeys, Golf Town are there and parking is free. If you don't drive, the bus in front goes to Eglinton subway station.

  • 5/5 Walid S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good parking space, not a lot of stores as it is mostly geared towards the neighborhood..nice open design though.

  • 4/5 Bryan D. 2 years ago on Google
    Ample parking to big box stores Which is great if you have a car. Ok if you need to take TTC, three bus routes drop of at entrances
