This is a great shopping mall, with a BART Station below. The food available is quite good, unlike at, say the places in the department stores surrounding Union Square.
Nice mall. Good stores. Clean. Parking, like at any mall is a mess. There are some pretty good places to eat here, especially the food trucks here on Saturday. Theyre the best! The pet store is one of my favorites. There is also an outdoor playground for the kiddos.
Frequently going there for asserts of things,hardware,boating stuff, pet needs and groceries. As well as charging our car.
This shopping plaza is one of the best here in Northern California, Im proud to call it one of my best spots to go to.
I like the location and atmosphere of the outdoor mall. There are a variety of stores. You can pretty much find whatever you need there and enjoy a meal or a coffee.
The wash house is busy but affordable
Safeway was empty when visited at around 11:20ish pm.. Good selection of wines
I can get all my shopping needs completed in one place. Including pet supplies fom Petco and sports items from Big 5 and groceries at Trader Joes and Safeways. Also love getting our fishing gear at West Marine. I love this place.
Everything you could ask for in one convenient location. Food, clothing, books, gifts. Be sure to dress accordingly because of the windy breeze coming from the estuary.
Rental car was broken into and luggage was stolen. Dont leave valuables in your car.
What can I say South shore is them all like any other Mall some have what you want some dont. But lately I am finding that things are becoming harder to get because of online shopping I do not like online shopping. I certainly hope it doesnt go that way because youre at the mercy of the person who is packaging your order and a lot of times you dont get what you want. Ive always liked going to the store and checking out what Im getting. Call me crazy but thats what I am. I understand that maybe its good for the economy or not good for the economy especially if robots will take it over and that is already happening right now. One that can drive the van and take your package to sleep and snow and hail and rain and never take a sick day off. I know they need maintenance so I think this is whats going to keep humans involved I hope. I certainly dont want to reveal to conspiracy theories although they have been right A lot of times. Come on humanity you can do it. Yes we can do it. Thats all Michael
Love it here. Nice and breezy outdoor shopping. Everyone has masks on which is very polite and all the businesses are doing safe practices. Good place to get some shopping done. However there are not enough charging stations. 2 stations for the entire parking lot is quite a joke. I would rate 4 stars but its 2020 and no electric vehicle charging.
Its in a great area beautiful beach really like this mall its loaded with plenty of shopping for groceries, clothing, office supplies, fast food restaraunt and dining options makeup tioletries and more every time I go there I fibd another store.
My sister and I had a wonderful weekend. Beautiful view
I really like this shopping center. Its like a one stop shop for me because there are two grocery stores, a 24 hour walgreens, many restaurants, a gas station, and one of my favorite stores which is ulta beauty! I love that the parking lot is huge and it is a really beautiful and quiet area.
Lots of stores love the place grow up here as a child with my grandmother. We would go into Woolworths n eat ,n buy lots of goodies.
I really like there are so many shops in one location! One stop shopping! Several places to eat there are or down the street downtown! Safeway, Trader Joes, TJ Maxx, Ross, Kohls, Office Depot, bank, Burger King, Applebees, Korean BBQ food restaurants, so many other shops thruout! Parking usually ample & other times challenging! Wear comfy shoes to walk all around! If you go early Oles Waffle Shop is great place to eat! 😁👍👍👏
Convenient mall with decent dining options. Try Bowld or Trabacco for great food, Trader Joes or Safeway for groceries, ACE for hardware misc, and several home goods and misc stores for random items. Good parking.
The place is so good for shopping you can find anything you want! 👍
I always enjoy going to South Shore. The many different stores and food places.
Great mall, decent selection of choice in terms of food courts and clothing stalls/stores. Not too many people but I guess I came in the wrong day or something. I was there yesterday and went shopping for beach clothing yet was surprised at the quietness of the mall itself during early morning hours. Oh well, its the same elsewhere as malls only attract people during certain times and days.
Always fun to see the sights and ride my bike along side 😎
Wish this shopping center had more independent shops. Sometimes the parking lots are sketchy, but there is a security officer who does the best they can. The location is ideal for more upscale restaurants but I think there are only two.
Busy shopping area, still very active even after over a year of Covid-19. I was sad to see bed bath beyond store empty. I knew it closed, but this was my first visit since it closed.
South Shore Center has just about everything there. Food, Gas, shopping, Post office, banking, pet friendly, medical,etc.
Very convenient shopping center with stores covering every need.
Its definitely a great place for families. There are many options for shopping and groceries. The kids have a playground, and the walkways are surrounded by stores, which is safer than walking on sidewalks. That means for most part, Im not too worried about them running around.
Great food stores...retail and restaurants!
Most of the time the outdoor corridors and walkways are wide enough (even with outdoor dining areas) to be able to avoid crowds. Stay on the perimeters as much as possible. Several good shopping retailers, major marketers and specialities stores, including Walgreen’s, Trader Joes, Office Max, Safeway, Old Navy and more. Paganos Hardware is simply the best. An excellent, local alternative to the big box demons. Go early (of course) for the best shopping experiences and park away from the crowded areas. Parking lot is big enough for that and divided up into smaller sections between retail stores. Walkways have flowering plants, secluded benches, and public art installations. Perhaps the nicest, most gracious shopping mall in the immediate Bay Area...
Great outdoor mall right across the street from the beach!
South shore has been around forever it feels like. Great restaurants around here. You can park in the parking lot and spend the whole day here. Great first date place. Grab some sushi or fast food and walk around the plaza. Its definitely been renovated lately with sculpture and art. Right across the street is the beach
The malls not that big but the fact that its outdoors is unique and makes it fun to visit.
Convenient and plenty of parking. A variety of stores, bank,post office, coffee shop, laundromat, dry cleaning, Burger King and Macdonald, variety of restaurants. Safeway and Trader Joes. Kohls is popular.
Wow sure has grown since I went bowling as a his senior all night. Mall looks great. Trader Joes has a weird entrance, unidentified, no sign on door. Mall full of trees, areas to sit. Made me smile,enjoy sunshine. Parking great accessible. Going back in a few weeks, looking forward. Wish Hayward had this comfortable area.
Its well appointed with every store youll need to get through life.From sushi, 2 supermarkets, home and hardware suppliesPlenty of stores with snacks and they have family weekends with eventsIts close to the beach and the water too!
Some stores open, some not. Most food establishments are open for either outside dining or take out. In Safeway & Trader Joes follow the arrows on the floor and watch out for people who still refuse to wear masks.
I come from San Leandro to grocery shop here. Safeway and Trader Joes ALWAYS in stock! Well worth the short drive!
Great outdoor shopping mall experience. Being from the East Coast I am used to malls being enclosed. This mall is set up just the same except its open air. Its wonderful. Bright and airy with lots of great stores. Highly recommended!
This shopping center has ample parking. As well as mixture of retail, restaurant, and grocery. There are also multiple financial institutions in the same shopping center includinh Bank of America and Wellsfargo.. The CVS is open late (not sure if its still 24 hour during COVID 19).
Cool place to get a lot of different things! Lots of food and shopping options.
Had to pop in here to get a sweater for the City at Ross because I forgot mine. Cant say I was able to enjoy the while shopping center but the location is awesome on the harbor. Big parking lot, clean shopping center. Looked really nice.
Is a good place for chopping and enjoying the beach yesterday is beautiful sunset
Great place to shop. There is a ice skating rink here during the winter holiday, also food trucks come most weekends, but I highly advise against using the car wash place that is here. If you are like me and you play close attention to the condition of your car, you will notice after you leave this car wash your car will be scratched up and the wax leaves streaks. Definitely come here to eat and Shop but not wash your car
Excellent knowledgeable customer service, Joe helped me find what I needed was very informative and fast and easy check out ...plenty of parking.
Both Safeway and Trader Joes is located here, and both tend to be quite busy. Parking can get full, but youre bound to find a spot as people dont stay for too long and leave quickly. Overall clean and busy shopping area, generally safe feeling.
I went to the local laundry mat and was able to wash and dry without standing in line. Drove around the beach area and found a park space in front of Sushi Cafe where i unloaded my fine art matls and completed my art project from a week ago Mariner Park shocker. It was nice to see people dress according to the hot climate: fair to light color schemes, short, jumpers, swimsuits, t-shirt, tents, lite boats and floater-low tided, towels, one restroom open no line, facets open. Parking was hard to find even though it was about 6:00 p.m. You have to compete with residental or mall parking. Because I love the outdoor and the smell of spring in with summer breeze which was prevalents the shore gets a 8 on the scale today. ENJOY Karen
I stopped into Safeway has station at rush hour. The man working was busy and still helpful and friendly. Thank you for that! Great customer service.
I love that they try to have different activites going on, whether its Earth Day, Island Pride day, or Easter celebration. Sometimes they really miss the mark by not filling in some gaps for the activities or relevant food/ vendors, but I commend them for trying. The Off The Grid option is very nice, and the shops they keep seem to mostly be ones people frequent, as opposed to stagnant storefronts struggling to bring in business.
A nice mall. Not a huge selection but has various food and clothes stores. The Korean bbq place is good. There is a trader Joes and a Safeway. They also have a play area that my son likes to play on. The parking is massive here. Right across from the beach. They also do food trucks, off the grid, in the summer and have ice skating in the winter. We go here quite a bit for sure.
Store is always clean and well stocked with courteous and knowledgeable employees. I purchased a name tag and had it engraved there. The paw print holiday stockings also really caught my eye
Its laid back... People are mellow. Great bike or walk or even bus if you like.Safeway and Trader Joes tend to be very crowded so you have to kind of figure out what works best for you and leverage your time wisely parking can also be a bit of a chore but again if you bike or walk you dont have to sweat it make sure you try out the new Korean place its fantastic
Their free music shows are quite often very good and there is always plenty of parking. The food selections are slowly and steadily getting better. The off the grid Saturdays are great. The shopping is limited but Paganos is a good local hardware store with a lot of the basic stuff you need to complete your DIY tasks. Everybody seems to love Trader Joes. Close to the beach and thats great too.
A clean outdoor mall. There are several outdoor places to sit and recharge your phone, however, not a single one had electricity.
Came here with an out of town visitor who had been told to try Five Guys. Parking was easy. Food was yummy. Guidelines for healthy eating were ignored.We ended up throwing some of the fries away because a large is way too much for two people having burgers.Traffic getting *to* Alameda was nasty but thats a regional issue not a local one.
Been a resident of Alameda for over a decade and I can say I love how convenient south shore is. The variety in stores regardless of the occasion I have so many to pick from. Always love Safeway, Trader Joe’s, Petco etc. They also have some mom and pop shops too so not just mainstream franchises. I liked how over the years stores, play grounds and amenities were added. Such as charging stations, benches with tons of seating. Fire pit by Alameda Beauty Center. It’s a cute little shopping center that I always enjoy. From groceries to random shopping trips to stores.
Storefronts that open to several large outdoor walkways offering a casual beach like shopping experience that puts most people at ease. A variety of stores that offer mid range to upscale pricing makes for comfortable purchases no matter if ones on a budget or not.Many food options are also available.
Love this mall. Nice choices of retail and eateries. My favs, Mod pizza and five guys. Safeway has gas station. Trader Joes next to Safeway. I usually go to both. From a movie theater to an OfficeMax, they have quite a veriety to choose from.
Great location good selection of stores and activities for the community.Safeway, Walgreens, Trader Joes, OfficeMax, Kohls, U.S. Post Office, Sees Candy, Panera, 5 Guys Burgers. I have been here in the winter when they have an ice skating rink and summer when they have food trucks. Its a community meeting place to work and relax. I like this shopping center.
Shopping center at Alameda has a little bit of everything. I was able to take care of my phone at Verizon and grab some lunch from Nob Hill Foods which always has a great selection. What more can I say about a shopping center other than its pretty well monitored and the traffic light isnt so bad there.
Its a nice shopping center with many useful stores. Parking is pretty easy and ingress/egress is straight forward. It backs up on to the bay which doesnt seem like a feature that is fully taken advantage of.
Nice neighborhood shopping center. Variety of stores, Safeway grocer with gas station, Trader Joes grocer, full service US Post Office facility, couple of branch Banks, discount and upscale retailers, restaurants, bars. Hosts some periodic special events, particularly at holidays. Back side across the street from Alameda shoreline offering views of San Francisco skyline. Lots of free parking in lots & on side streets.
Have always loved this mall. Great surroundings. Nice selection of stores and eating establishments. Located across the street from the beach which makes a nice place to enjoy some of the great food while soaking in the views of SF and the bay.
Special needs Extreme Makeover because its not public friendly! Is super crowded, where people are trying to cross to get into their cars. They have the problem of the buses and cars going in the same direction as people walking. And when people are trying to get out of their cars to walk the store, they have the problem of walking in the street where cars are going back and forth and then buses are going by. This parking area was not design with sidewalks for people to walk on safely to get to the stores.The next problem, theres not enough shopping area for clothes. Most of these stores that do have clothes are design for small people! they do not have the proper clothing design 4 normal weight people. And the way the clothes are put in the store sections, are messy! dont make no sense, its scattered, in these different stores, Ross, Kohls and TJ Maxx. The clothing are not put in proper sequence. There are more concerned with designs, instead of putting things in sequence and what the clothing are used for. And then theres the issue with the quality of the clothing. The clothing dont last and clothing shrink or clothing start to fall apart.
It has many stores and restaurants that I visit on a regular basis. I make a special effort to go there.Safeways gas station is a great value. Trader Joes and a huge Safeway next to each other!Petco, Bed Bath and Beyond, Paganos hardware, and others make this a great stop.Tons of parking.
Beautiful, beautiful setting.....by the water! Every kind of store imaginable is there......well, not quite every kind. But you get my gist. One thing though, its not a mall, i.e. under-one-roof shopping area.
The shopping center features a Walgreens, Super Safeway, Trader Joes, Bed Bath & Beyond, and various other services and restaurants. Food trucks on some Saturdays. Plus, AC Transit runs bus lines through the shopping center so it services lots of folks in our community.
Ive lived in Alameda for almost half of my childhood and coming back many stores have come and gone such as blockbusters which is no longer their, but this is a nice place to come out to hang with friends or just do groceries which you can go to Safeway or traders Joes for. Restaurant selection in terms of Google cost rating $$ mid tier cost. I believe the only fast food their is five guys and McDonalds.
I go there mostly because the Safeway and Walgreens are open 24/7. Safeway is a miserable excuse for a grocery (my kingdom for a Publix!) but its always open. The Walgreens is pretty good, but I wish the shopping center security would do more to keep aggressive crazy vagrants from bothering customers.
Nice variety of shops. Although some of them tend to disappear due to the high rent and competitive atmosphere. Its always crowded I dont like that but I know that is good for the businesses. I am not a mall kind of person
Kohls, Trader Joes, Ross, Starbucks, Applebees, Carters, T.J. Maxs in addition to several other stores and restaurants to choose from. Not all businesses are reopened at this time. Call in advance to confirm locations hours. Businesses require face masks to enter at this time.
Pretty nice little mall. Lots of good places to shop here. Parking is pretty insane. Sometimes they have food trucks. Having Safeway and Trader Joes next door to one another is very convenient!
Clean, outdoor mall with plenty of parking, Great for discount (TJMaxx, Ross, Big5, Carters), small store (Old Navy, Kohls, Bed Bath & Beyond), grocery (Safeway), drug store (Walgreens) and gas shopping. 1 family restaurant and several eateries but No department or high end anchor stores. Busy car wash and post office. Convenient Bankers row along the major street west side of the site.
Wow!,This shopping area is huge but not uncomfortable. Safeway and Trader Joes are here and so is the Safeway Gas station. Great retail and restaurants here as well. Made me feel like I was shopping in Pleasanton!
Love this shopping center. Most of my shopping needs are served here. My local post office and commercial grocery stores are found here, along with several other useful stops, like Daiso, Chase, BofA and Wells Fargo banks, Ross, TJ Maxx, PetCo, Paganos Hardware, Big 5, Walgreens and Office Max. Not to mention its all right next to the Beach! I frequent this shopping center multiple times a week 😁 Also... every 4th of July, they host a musical performance for the Public! Usually, the Sun Kings (our fave local band😊) perform and put on one hell of a show (for all you Beatles Fans... youll Never see a better Beatles Tribute Band than these guys!!😉).
24 hour pharmacy and grocery store. Very convenient. Obey all posted speed limits or 25 mph. Alameda Police will pull over any vehicles driving 4mph above speed limit .
South Shore in itself is nice. Its just a security guard that has dreads. Im pretty sure hes white or hes very light in complexion. Is a very very rude. I would work on customer service with him. He didnt seem to care what was going on with my issues. You said it wasnt none of his problem?
Mid range surburban shopping center that is not going broke. Clean, plenty of parking and family friendly. Both chain and local shops. Full service car wash and banks too.
This is an ok shopping center. Since the renovation it looks much nicer, etc. however, there is no higher end anchor here. One positive is that since it is outdoor shopping, you can your dog with you for a walk.
The service was slow, orders came out cold.They remade the orders and they still came out cold. People were walking out stating that they were discussed and didnt want to wait any longer. My party ended up late to Church. Spoke with management, she discounted the bill and gave a coupon for 10% off the next visit. Some received a $5 card off the next meal.
I like shopping here because its very convenient for me. Its a small mall yet it has most things youre looking for without having to drive to a bigger mall. It is kid friendly and offers a small play area for toddlers. They have Carters, Crazy 8, Old Navy and Kohls. The also have a TJ Maxx and Ross store. Theres a Starbucks and Bagel Cafe. They have an Ulta store, Bed Bath Beyond, Petco, Color Me Mine, Loards ice cream and Ritas Italian Ice & Frozen Custard. Theres a Safeway and Trader Joes, McDonalds and Burger King. Sometime they have events for the kids depending on the holiday.
Core of the center is nice for kids and has a playarea for the wiggles, food trucks on the weekend is pretty rad. Close to the beach too. Way too many activities here for adults haha I dont see a gaming center whats this place needs for the amount of kids. Somebody put in a VR cafe or virtual racing for the gamers.
Trader Joes, Safeway, Walgreens. All regular stops for us. Nice to have them in one place where we can make little pit stops and get most everything we need. It would be nice to have a mini Target there like they do on Shattuck in Berkeley. Itd be more convenient not to have to drive to the other side of town when needing to make a Target run while making all the pit stops. I do like the option to get petrol there using my Safeway card for a little discount. Ross and the Saturday morning food truck scene make it even better. Altogether, a great center.
Super family friendly park. Fun free outdoor concerts all summer. Grassy area to spreaf a blanket or a chair. Taco vendors available. Special wine corral for adults. Lots of fun stuff for the kids. Hula hoops to play with. Dance area in front of the stage. Walk along the water see water life. Only con is goose and duck poopy everywhere. Watch yer step😎
Good selection of stores - Safeway, Trader Joes, Bed Bath & Beyond, Ross, TJ Max, etc. Decent eateries, various banks. post office, and gas station.
Its a wonderful outdoor shopping center situated near the Alameda beach with lots of store, something for everyone! Also, if you get hungry choice of fast food up to 5star dinning.Outdoor playground for the children and the child in you. Once the shopping is complete, just walk over to the beach and take in the sunset.Love Alameda South Shore Center!
Like this place . Kids play area is the added bonus for parents with kids. Especially lije their seasonal events. Lot of kids friendly programs. Parking is not at all an issue.
Very nice mall complex. It features stores such as Ross, TJMaxx, Old Navy, Trader Joes and many more. It also offer an ample variety of restaurants for any budget and taste.
Love the outdoor shopping. Christmas tree and Santa are there to take pictures too. Live music inthe summer, ice skating inthe winter, off the grid food trucks Saturday, and cute little shops and restaurants. Theres still some vacancies but its getting better all the time.Free parking right next to the beach.
Love to shop here in South Shore Center. There is a lot of stocks and yellow tag was great. But it was in special days. It was OK. I can have a lot to buy with a great deal.Great service as well.
Great selection of stores and dining. Has a great central courtyard with outdoor seating, events during the summer, and my 6yo loves the installed playground.
Whole in the wall spots sprouting in between big sized stores. Its ok. Fix the damn potholes in the lot. Nice folks strolling but be cautious when approached by folks even if they have pets on a leash.
Nice atmosphere but not enough shopping. Many empty store fronts, only 1 shoe store. They need stores like Finish Line, Foot Locker, Victoria Secret.
Been going here since I was little and they have spruced this place up a lot. Everything looks newer and cleaner. Theyve opened up some great shops and restaurants. I like that it still doesnt get too hectic here. Nice family place
Sees Candy samples are dope and bowld has the best fried chicken in Alameda. Nothing fancy but efficient and the people that work in the shopping center are great.
Ive been going to South Shore since I was a kid. I definitely miss the Mervyns, KB Toys, and the Sanrio store, but I guess this current rendition is okay. Got a busy Trader Joes and Safeway for your grocery shopping needs with plenty of parking. TJ Maxx if youre low on home decorations. Old Navy of you need disposal Ill fitting clothes. Got a few places to eat ranging from casual to sit down. Theres also a kids play ground and its next to the beach.
I love this mall. The is the place where you can come and run all of your weekly errands while getti g exercise. The beach is nearby as well so you can so take a walk and just sit and enjoy the water.
This is one of the main shopping centers on Alameda island. Walgreens is 24 hours. Theres a Trader Joes, a Safeway, Daiso (wooo $1.50 fun). Lots of parking but it can be a bit nutty. Most things you need can be found here. Oh and its right next to the SF Bay. Beautiful view of SF!
Just a strip mall, but at least theyve made it fun for kids with the outdoor play area. Sad that the locally owned beauty supply store went out of business. Conveniently located though, and close to the bay.
I really like this shopping center because of its amazing location, ease of finding parking and the stores, supermarkets and banks and even the gas station in it. Truly everything in one location in an outdoor setting.
Ive going here since i was a kid. Its gotten better. Has most of what i expect from a mall. Chipotle and sushi house are a treat. Sees candies has always been here.
Has a lot of character to it, though parking is a downer at times. Can run pretty cold due to the waterfront location. I feel like this place could have better stores and be a hit.
Great shopping center, has the usual stores like Safeway, Walgreens, Office Max, Trader Joes, Kohls, Ross. Convenient location and good safe neighborhood. Good parking space and plenty of food places. We have a Daiso, Starbucks, Applebees, Five Guys, Subway, Big 5, McDonalds, Burger King, Beverlys and many others
Concerning the Santa pictures, am highly disappointed with the work of the photographer, the picture is so empty, she should stop having persistent one way conversation. She lacks the spirit of the season, no decoration in the background of the picture, not even part of the tree. I felt like a pure waste of money. Would have gone elsewhere but it was on the 24th. It was all about my baby, it was her first Christmas picture.
Wonderful shopping experience nice weather cant ask for more
Great space for single shoppers as well as families with children. Just few steps from the beach with stunning views of SF and San Bruno Mountains.
Offering everything from plethora of shopping experience. Stock your pantry with items from Safeway, Trader Joes, or Weight Watchers. Kohls, Ross and other specialty clothing. Unique layout allows walking, but ample parking as well.
Veriaty of shops and dinning places. Busy in Saturdays. Love the local food trucks great options if you dont want to eat at the mall strip of foods. Great deals on many locations. From kids wear to House.
Great place to shop. Lots of great stores including Khols., TJ Maxx (favorite), Ross to name a few of many. There is a ice skating rink here during the winter holiday that is small but still brings out a number of families and frie ds into the holiday spirit, also food trucks come most weekends with great choices and all different cuisines depending on what your feeling like. There is also a car wash located within the shopping center as well as a sporting Goods and a big sized pet store that sell all the necessities necessities for the furry friends at home. South Shore has definitely improved its appearance keeping up with renovations and adding in new popular stores that most peeps like to go shopping. The only down side that leaves my review of South shore a 4 and not a 5 is because they blew it by removing the Foot Locker shoe store where I used to go and stand in line hoping to get a raffle ticket gauranteeing me a pair of the most recent or retro Michael Jordan basketball Sneakers. Bring Foot Locker back South Shore and boost that rating all the way to the top because with out the F Locker you willnever get to a 5 through my eyes !!!
New stores and clean walk ways! South shore is in the process of been modernized. Great views 🌅 when you walk back near the beach area.
Wish they would stop bringing in low end stores. I grew up in Alameda, South Shore Shopping Center had high end boutiques & fun places to shop. Now I always have to drive out of town to purchase clothing and or gifts. TJ Max, Ross, Target ect. cheapens this lovely Island. Im giving it 3 stars only for the grocery shopping.
+ Its alright. Couple useful stores. Lots of parking, 24hr drug & grocery stores, gas station (albeit always packed and overpriced), banks, discount clothing, etc.- a few food choices, nothing unique & nothing that stands out.
Serene beach with quiet waves and soft water. Chill atmosphere on a Saturday. Small hometown feel. Lovely. You could swim in winter on cool day. Water is chilly but ok.
This would be a better place if Stephanie wasnt working there. She doesnt know how to do costumer service. I mean she is very rude.All because I returned a screen protector that cracked and fell off the next day i got it at that very same store. Pls teach her how to do her job. Thanks
Love this place , especially because its right next to the beach. Literally has every store for all of your shopping needs, grocery and retail , icecream parlor , paint and sip, dentist office, and office depot and of course applebees , great place to catch a break and be happy for an hour .
This mall has everything, clothing stores, shoe store, pet store, sporting goods stores, banks, places to eat and a fast food place, convenience store, post office, and 2 grocery stores. Best of all theres a beach across the street.
Lovely beach, the water her are nice temperature wise, much warmer than any SF beach! Its clean, not super crowded, and a great place for an afternoon hang out.
Its self-explanatory that this is a shopping center, restaurant and eateries, as well as local hang out. Given that it is near Alameda Shoreline Beach Area, its phenomenal to visit and also wine and dine. It meets your every seasonal needs to the point. Been coming here for years since I was a kid!
So So many shops and eateries here. Its something for everyone here. They even have a play area for the little kids. Notice I said LITTLE KIDS PLAY AREA. If your kids is older than 10 he or she should be playing over there and knocking down 4yo bc his or her big behind thinks their a Running Back in the NFL. If you do have an older kid, take them to the batting cage thats right down the pathway.If you need banking its a Walls Fargo, Chase and a Credit union within the Plaza. If you need groceries its a Safeway and a Trader Joes here as well. Its not too much that you would need that this place doesnt have. Its also a huge beach area about a quarter mile away from the shops.
Not many stores here, sjnce the remodeling took place years ago..its always been short of businesses opening here. While a nrw business pops open theres another one closing next door. Its sad but the only dept store hete is Kohls and Ross, tje same stores you find every where else
That wedding dress shop was so great and helpful . My daughter was inpressed thank you so much we will be back !
Tons of stores and places to walk/ seat. Beach is across from the street. This place has taco trucks every so often and bowling alley is near by. + public restrooms in between Safeway and trader Joes in the security building.
Nice place to walk around and buy stuff that you need, Parking lot is huge so it wont be hard to find a spot.
What do they not have?? OMG!!Grocery- Traders Joe and Safeway!Pharmacy-Walgreens!Food- Sushi house, Five Guys, some cocktail and kitchen, Chipotle, Subway, McD, BBQ, Panera, Jamba, Starbucks and the list goes onShopping - Kohls, Old Navy, Ross, TJ Maxx (this is the first time ever Ive see TJ Maxx and Ross in the same shopping complex)Banks - BofA,Chase and WellsfargoLets say after shopping like maniac you want to mail yourself something..dont worry they got you covered, there is USPS too !! :-).
Nice and quiet, shopping stores are doing very well cleaning the counters and shopping cars.
I remember when South Shore Center was an underutilized space with tremendous retail potential. The concerted efforts by developers and businesses have made it a nice hub on the East, shore-side of Alameda. Surprising number of convenient amenities. The Off The Grid and Ice Rink pop-ups are icing on the cake!
Well, its a big outdoor mall. I often go to the Trader Joes; every once in a while to the Panera; occasionally to the Jamba Juice; and I have filled up with gas at the Safeway gas station. Theres also a Safeway super market, an Applebees, and several dozen other stores and restaurants. Like I said, its a big outdoor mall.
Its a great location down by the water. The beach is right there, but we were there for the ice skating. It was the mini ice rink at Skate America I think? But we had a fun time, and theres lots of parking.
So much to do here. Lots of shoping and places to grub. There are several sweet shops likes Sees candy and a Gelato pop shop. The Ross is open till 10:30 on weekdays!
This outdoor mall has so many options. From Trader Joes a vegan favorite, to a carnivores delight, Total woman fitness is the place to be if you like to meet, and to find someone to help you eat your meat.
Has improved over the years plenty of parking great shopping for various things something here for everyone.Right across the street from the beach where you can relax after a tiring day of shopping or after dinner romantic stroll on the beach.
There are a variety of major chain stores here such as Ross, Bed Bath & Beyond, Sprint, Paganos Hardware, and Lens Crafters and a Dental Chain. You can find Trader Joes or a fast food restaurant and grab something to eat. In addition, there are two major banks, an Office Max, and Walgreens store as well. Not far from this mall yet on the island is a Target in another well equipped mall.
The shopping is great its beautiful inside. Even if you dont shop there, this mall is still worth seeing.
Been coming here since the early 80s.Its a great place to explore and it changes by season.But, dont go...its underused...And everyone likes it that way.But seriously folks...go!
All my favs are here: my bank, Safeway, Trader Joes, SEEs candy, JAMBA and much more. True one stop shopping. Oh, and the Bowling Alley for kids fun :-) Public transportation friendly with plenty of parking for drivers.
Notoriously known as the ghost mall, this place has seen 20 years of 50% vacancy.You would think that the market demographics of Alameda would attract businesses to this location, but sadly not. Much of the foot traffic and shopping occurs on Park St, where there are a wide variety of dining options, coffee shops, and little shops to visit.Perhaps Southshore Center should lower its lease costs to attract businesses.
I had to drive quite a long distance in order to find the stores. Otherwise nice. Oh and the parking lot driveway markings need updated there was confusion in parking lot traffic.
Has everything from cafe, grocery store, pet store, sporting store, beauty supply shop, fitness center, restaurant, gas station, banks, daiso, bath n beyond, carwash, masseuse, mani-pedi, dentist,... All in one place.Lots of space in the free parking lot.Not sure what its lacking. Maybe I should start from what it actually missing. Hm.... Boba place? Frozen yogurt shop? A Walmart!!! Ha.
A nice mall kohls, safeway,pet co.,Walgreens .the Safeway is 24hrs as is the Walgreens. Pet co has a clinic on occasional weekends(check there schedule)great no b.s. ,cheap vaccination and check ups.other stores and some decent restaurants.
Theres a lot of shops like Ross, Carters, Old Navy, Daiso, etc.! Great place to hang out and enjoy the breeze. It changed greatly from 6 years ago and it looks awesome. I usually go to Southshore just because its a safe place with no ghetto people around.
A good variety of stores and restaurants casual & fine dining. All this anchored by trader Joes, Safeway &TJ Maxx to name a few...oh yeah, Starbucks there are 2.
Very nice shopping center. Great shops . Fantastic restaurant. Several very unique shops along with the old standbys. Well kept and pleasant outdoor spaces.
South shore has many good places for breakfast, lunch & dinner. There are 2 grocery stores, Safeway &TraderJoes, also Ross, Kohls, TJ Maxx, childrens clothing stores, Walgreens, Bed Bath& Beyond, Paganos hardware, 4 banks, Safeway gas station, post office & many other stores. You can find anything in this mall & the beach is right across the street.
Ease of parking, great shopping and dining choices. The only thing missing is a tribute, other than a mural, to the boardwalk carnival that used to be there.
Good selection of stores. Old Navy, Bed Bath and Beyond, Trader Joes, Safeway and other well known chains. Food trucks on Saturdays.
Im always coming here. Its a nice little shopping centre. They have good places to eat at and on saturdays they host off the grid. They have an ulta, tj maxx, and ross. My favorite shops. They also have a shop called modern mouse for those looking for special items, some from local artists
Havent been here in years. So many good stores for shopping. Lots of parking. Will definitely be back.
Im a big fan of the Alameda south shore area. It has a 24 hour Safeway and a 24 hour Walgreens pharmacy. It also contains tons of other businesses and the AMC bowling alley isnt that far away. When my infant developed a fever, cough and was teething ridiculously bad I bundled him up and caught an Uber to Safeway at 2am.i grabbed him some medications and did some light grocery shopping and was home by 240. My only unpleasant experience was the bank branch atm located inside said it was ejecting my card but didnt dispense it so I ended up having to leave and cancel it
This place has gone crazy with flagship stores! Old Navy...Ulta/Total Gym&Spa...ModPizza...Petco... BedBath&Beyond...Trader Joes... Safeway...love this place plenty of parking right on the Beach! I go there all the time!
It has a traders Joes as Safeway next to each other. Theres also a Wella Fargo and other fast food restaurants. If your staying near the airport at the hotels this plaza has everything you need.
Very nice place to shop clean orderly most everyone is friendly and of course its near the water so who could beat that as far as the Ross shopping area I just think they need more supplies
This place has everything you need. Food. Sweets (Sees Candies, anybody?). Cute stores (namely modernmouse!). Groceries (safeway AND trader joes!). Car washes. Sushi restaurants. Places to recycle and get $$$ back. They even have a post office!
I like to walk down the middle section because you are exposed to most of the stores. This center is pretty much a once stop shop for everything.•bed bath & beyond (kind of messy)•beverly’s fabric & craft (kind of pricey, would rather go to micheals)•big 5 sporting goods (has been there forever)•carter’s (they always have sales like they are closing)•charming charlie (never gone in because everything in there are too cute... )•daiso japan (what? everything 1.50??? unless marked otherwise)•kohl’s (if i need clothes and dont want to spend too much)•office max•old navy•pagano’s hardware store (always thought it was home depot )•party city•payless shoesource•petco (go in just to see the aninmals )•ross dress for less (man the lines are long)•safeway•sprint•the gold spot jewelers
Variety of stores. Safeway Fueling Station. Plus 24 hour Safeway and Walgreens.
There’s much of what you need here without moving your car: banks (JP Morgan Chase, Wells Fargo, gas, big5 sporting goods, clothing (t j Max’s) office supplies and candy!! Sees! Add to that a full service car wash and bed bath and beyond and you’re in for the complete outdoor shopping experience right onlong beautiful SF bay.
Dollar store, beauty store, pet store, 2 grocery stores, lots of fast food or sit down dining options. Ross, TJ Maxx, Kohls. Literally something for everyone here. Plus a 24hr Walgreens right next door. But get on the AC Transit by 10pm or its gonna suck getting out of Alameda.
This is a pretty run-of-the-mill shopping center, Kohls, Old Navy, Safeway -- but if thats what youre looking for, it is fine. Hosts a food truck pod every Saturday, which is why I go there.
Great hoge Trader Joe. Lots of stores including Kohls wonderful Japanese Restaurant Sushi House and a beautiful view of South Shore San Francisco Bay
I spend a lot of time here due to working nearby , always plenty of parking I go to Starbucks , Kohls , charming Charlie , Panera , Jamba Juice , Ulta , Safeway , Trader Joes , Walgreens , Safeway gas , Chase bank , eyebrow threading place , daiso , subway , bagel street cafe ... they have a little bit of everything !
Has variety of useful shops including Trader Joe’s, Daiso, Petco, etc as well as banks to meet all your needs. Also has one of the cheapest gas stations on the island.
Great, outdoor mall but still a lot of vacancies and turn over of shops. I wish they would put in a Hallmark, Bath and Body Works, a Vans store or surf shop.
This place has Trader Joes where I was going to shop along with many other stores, but parking can be a hassle. The people can be in a hurry so you must drive slow and watch for others.
Upgraded version of South Shore from when I was a kid. Very pretty, but costs have skyrocketed. Would be nice to get a Dollar Tree back for all those simple items. And maybe Target or Walmart on this side of the island
Its next to the beautiful bay. All of your favorite chains are there. Its also near downtown with local shopping so just about everything that you want is right here.
Great shopping center for Alameda across the street from the beach. Many great stores and places to eat. Can get crowded on weekends. Parking can be difficult to find sometimes. Love this place.
You can feel safe on this side. Very nice stores,plenty of parking, they are planning to open more stores still many places available to rent for business.
It doesnt have a lot of stores, but it is along the beach. No problem with parking, there is a lot of it. They have all the big box chain stores and fast food spots.
Quaint trendy both can be felt here..kind of eclectic vibe...food and clothing both found here along with banking and gas ..from savemart to trader joes or burger to jamba..just a bit of everything..across street bowling and across another street you have the beach ..So whether a local or traveler its a good stop
This shopping mall was absolutely great and awesome. There a lots of shops and restaurants to try. We had a great time here.
Its a nice place to walk around. Next to Alameda beach which is nice. Large parking space and a few good budget friendly stores like Ross, Marshalls, and Daiso.
This outdoor shopping mall has changed over the years. There has been a massive renovation project and it is more modernize. There is still remnants of how the mall use to be like if you go over to the side where a laundromat and diner is. Which is over by the office depot area. You can shop and dine in the area.
Great place to go eat dinner..I went with my love ones the place was clean and neat. Lots of room for space.Restroom clean and safe to use.
This strip mall is across from the Alameda beach, it has a cool selection of stores TJ Maxx, Ross, Old Navy, Charming Charlie, Kohls and a host of eaterys. The Alameda bowling alley is on Park St of the Mall.
Security is lacking. Police only protect thier own. Videos of assaults get lost when they dont support what they want. Time to remove bad law enforcement staff and management.
Modern and clean lots of different department store and place to eat. Open space to walk around. Wonderful weather year round.
Really cool antiques fair here on the last Sunday of a few months a year. You can look up their schedule. Its fun to go to that!
South Shore Center has really grown and created an identity for itself. Its expanded yet had plenty of parking. But, their shops on the small within the Center may be a bit challenging to find as the signs were not that informative. The area by Trader Joe can be a zoo so use caution when walking in the parking lot.
Smattering of types of stores, including grocery, hobby, hardware, banking, and restaurant. plenty of parking, though pretty busy at times. relatively well kept grounds.
Lots of variety here. Good place to get tour errands done, all in one location. Groceries, check. Lunch, check. Coffee, check. New Shoes? Yup. Massage? You got it. Waxing too.
There are a lot of food options and unique stores along with some basic staple stores.
This is a very good local shopping center. Lots of stores with lots of parking. There are lots of people around most of the day. It is clean and well kept.
Its convenient, I can walk my dogs or do my exercise on the beach and than do my grocery shopping and pick up food for dinner as well as gas up at the same place . I love it!
Fancy outdoor shopping center. Landscaped colorful.. fun. Lights at night. We love charming Charlies.. trabbucco. And old navy
Nice place to shop and dine. Has Trader Joes, Post Office, and great Korean BBQ.
Very impressed with this shopping center. Having grown up in the area and been away for 20+ years, I was glad to see so many changes that has revitalized the plaza.
Alameda South Shore is my favorite hangout! From fancy to fast food restaurants. Trader Joes, Safeway, there are shops cheaper than the local thrift stores. Ok that was a secret, but now its out. Sorry 😊
Safeway, Trader Joes, Jamba Juice, Old Navy, Ross, Party City, Applebees, TJ Maxx, Walgreens, Chipotle, Five Guys, Subway, Big 5, Sees Candy, Mod Pizza, Bed Bath and Beyond, Starbucks, Color me mine, Khols, Ulta Beauty, Sprint, Mc Donalds, all so much more.
This shopping center has come a long way in the past 20 years. It is now modernized and has several magnet stores, banks, a gas station, post office, restaurants and many small shops. Crime is low in Alameda.
Im not really a fan of malls or being gawked at by mondaines, but they have a lot of stones and some nice places for grocery shopping. If you are in any way eccentric be prepared for the stares, tho.
ASSC has become a pretty trendy place in the East Bay. Many famed stores are here - TraderJoe’s, Safeway, Kohl’s, Daiso, Starbucks, bagel street, Panera breads, OfficeMax/Depot and many others. I am particularly enjoying visiting Starbucks, Daiso, Loard’s ice cream Bowl’d Korean and Trader Joe’s. Walking paths are good for strolling and family hang out.

2022-06-27Shopping here is like at home. Restaurants? Grocery? Clothing store? The best of quality. You got what you need and enjoy it within. Beautiful place and the staffs are very friendly. They are observing health protocols and of course the place is very clean. I am enjoying this place when I need to unwind from the stress of life. So, If you want to distress? Just come here and you will experience a stress-free moment. Parking space is not so crowded. I will recommend Alameda South Shore Center to all of my relatives and friends who are very fond of shopping. Buying relieves stress. Lets shop!

2022-02-20South Shore Center is both a unique and a great shopping center because it is situated by the beach. Its also close to a big Sushi Restaurant, a Post Office, a Bowling Alley, a walking distance from a small movie theater, and not too far from the Oakland International Airport - probably a 5-minute drive... The shoppers here are also great shoppers because Ive seen less Police activity here... The Center also looks like its relatively new. But its probably well maintained thats why it looks like new.

2022-04-08Space is limited. Ill make it short. Southshore is excellent. But these past weeks a family has been asking money with cardboard, stroll ers on the sidewalk in the corner of Otis/in the traffic lights. Some people give n some ignore but this just create a needless traffic in the c

2019-01-31I love coming to this great shopping Center in Alameda. The shops are great from restaurants, grocery stores, clothing stores, household needs, childrens playground, laundry Service, alterations Service, Nail Salon, Banks, gasoline Service station, and more, everything in one shopping place with ample parking lots for visitors.It is walkable to Shoreline Drive, so you can park your car and have a stroll along the waters of Alameda and have a scenic view of the Bay before you do your shopping at this Shopping Center. The US Post is also around the corner. There’s food trucks on Saturdays as well. It’s worth it all to come here!

2021-12-11Recycling is back at South Shore! The recycling center, Jado Recycling is behind Ross. They pay cash on the spot for your soda cans, glass beer bottles and plastic water bottles.
