The Grove

Lovely outdoor mall with a popular
Farmers Market on site. I believe
Frank Sinatra used to eat here! So it's alright by me!

Lots of nice and "only in LA" shops here, however some of the shops really need to do better with their quality control. Lots of stains around the clothes here, mainly due to people trying on stuff and leaving random makeup stains everywhere. I noticed this was a huge pattern in almost all of the clothing stores in the area. However, it was really clean for an outdoor shopping district and the environment was nice. There was a cute little fountain and some nice little restaurants around.

This is a nice place for a date. The lights at night are pretty cool. The food is really good.

Next to the world famous LA Farmers Market, this newer classic style center is a classy place to go hang out, go shopping and dine outdoors and indoors!
The complex features a wide outdoor pedestrian street lined with beautifully styled storefronts, restaurants, theaters and seating areas.
There’s an open pavilion near the east end where events are held daily, including concerts with local musicians! The sound fills the area of the plaza and outdoor cafes with an extra ambience of listening pleasure, apart from the cool retro music piped in over the sound system speakers.
Visitors will take a time out from walking and shopping and stop to enjoy the free entertainment. They often sit or lay around in the grassy area by the fountains. Unfortunately, the awesome fountains were under renovation on my last visit here.
The Grove is also next to the popular Pan Pacific Park, so park goers can step or wheel over and check out the Grove and Farmers Market in one stop.
Those who park in the enormous parking structure at the grove, have an added advantage of leaving vehicles in a secure, centrally located spot with restrooms. Access to the Grove, Farmers Market and Pan Pacific Park may be preferred for longer stays on excessively hot or rainy days, within the enclosed garage.
The idea of an outdoor mall works in Southern California, with the normally great weather! Although planning to come here without checking the forecast may result in a bittersweet experience. As it was when eating hot food outdoors in a heat wave, or when a girlfriend was leaving a fashion store in a downpour, with her haute couture!
There is a streetcar trolly that can take passengers from one end of the mall, to the other.
The entrance off of The Grove Drive includes a looped drop-off, pick up, ride share area, as well as a helpful valet service.

The Grove is popular shopping, fashion, dinning and lifestyle destination. Having outlets like Nordstrom, Zara, Vince, Nike, Apple, BMW, Sandro, Michael Kors, Sephora and many more. For entertainment you have AMC and for dinning cheese factory, La Pizza, see’s candies, Little Italy etc. The cozy and lively environment and last but not least farmers market and food counters which have a lot variety and chance to cherish. Getting parking tough.

Great placed to go with the family lots of shopping and restaurants,

Lovely, but the weather was a bummer 😕 rained 🌧 all day. Valet was so helpful....they called a taxi for me

Great place for shopping and eating and just chillin'

I Love the grove it’s an nice outdoor shopping mall, with lots of stores and restaurants, lovely little train that drives through the grove. Don’t forget to visit the nearby farmers market.

I have been many times at the Grove, a stop we make when in the neighborhood. Outside the Christmas holidays season, I found that the shopping experience was limited, and the diversity of smaller brands left a lot to be desired. The permanent farmer markets are the clear highlight of the place, offering fresh and delicious options that are unique and flavorful. However, the other shops within the mall were fairly bland and predictable, with few surprises to be found.

The mall itself is nice and clean, however, the lack of interesting shopping options made the place feel somewhat underwhelming.

While there are plenty of places to grab a quick bite in the farmer market, the sit-down restaurants within the mall were limited and unremarkable.

Overall, I would hesitate to call it a great spot to visit outside of the holidays period and whenever they have special occasions.
