Town Center Corte Madera

Glorious outdoor patio furniture, beloved walkways, a multitude of multi-colored potted plants, ushering one into a very beautiful outdoor shopping experience.

Lovely

I love sitting by the side of Safeway at those long benches, staring up at Mt Tam, catching a tan, and indulging in a Nflix episode, or my audiobooks.

Super lucky Marin folks

I love the town center in Corden Madera, but whoever designed the parking lot all the spaces are too small

Where is security?! I'm a worker at the mall and it feels like recently it's been a zoo here. Which is odd because for the last year or so it's been way better. All of a sudden all the crazy people are back, there was a fight in the parking lot last week. The local teenagers are a menace, they zoom through the mall at breakneck speed.

I honestly think she needs an industrial cleaning cart so she wouldn't use the water ever again from this lovely fountain to clean stuff around this upscale shopping center

Smaller shopping mall and everything is outside. Lots of outdoor seating available and since it's usually good weather, it's a nice place for dining, coffee and more. They have a decent amount of stores and restaurants. Everything is kept clean.

Beautiful outdoor shopping center with a nice variety of restaurants to choose from. The Container Store, Eddie Baurer and REI are very nice but the food choices is probably why most people visit the Town Center.

I've always liked this shopping center, even when I was a kid. But man oh man, it has changed so much over the years (for the better, I might add). But it wasn't until I recently revisited the Town Center in the midst of the Covid-19 lockdown that I truly appreciated how pretty this property is. No joke - this doesn't feel like a mall. As another Yelper so aptly described, it feels more like a small European village.

That being said, most European villages don't boast a Crate & Barrel, Safeway, and CVS. But let's face it, if you're a shopping center, you're gonna need those anchor stores if you wanna attract suburban shoppers. But I'm quite impressed with the other merchants that they've assembled here. It's an eclectic mix of restaurants and retail.

When it comes to restaurants, they have a nice collection of fine dining (Il Fornaio, Flores, Pacific Catch, etc.) and fast casual (Blue Barn, Pig In a Pickle, World Wrapps, The Counter, and more). So this ain't your typical mall food. No Sparro pizza or McDonald's here. Granted, you'll still find the inevitable Starbucks. But if that's not your cup of tea, the Town Center now has a Philz Coffee (which seems to be quite popular with the Millennials in town).

More than anything, this is a beautifully landscaped shopping center. It's not just another mall. It's a comfortable, sunny place where you can spend the afternoon. Plus, they have a Farmer's Market on Wednesday and live music in the summer. Every time I come here, I discover something new and surprising. And I think that's the ultimate compliment for any business.

I've been coming to the Town Center since I was young so witnessing the recent remodel felt like part of my childhood was gone. Like another review mentioned, it had a Euro village feel. I loved the old brick walking stones and the original clock tower which gave the shopping center more character.

These days you'll find a more modern mall. They updated the walking stones and made the store fronts more modern. There's also new funky outdoor seating and landscaping. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy certain aspects such as the new fountain for the iconic elephant in front of Barnes and Noble. I'm glad they didn't remove the mural on the side of Wells Fargo, which has been there for 20 plus years.

I usually grab a bite to eat at Blue Barn or The Counter and window shop at REI or Urban Outfitters. The days of affordable stores are a distant memory.

I have seen a countless number of stores open and close throughout the years. Some last months while others last for years. Sephora and Philz Coffee are the newest additions while PF Chang's and CPK recently closed.

I was here when this center just opened. Back in the day I used to work at Ultra Lucca, which became AG Ferrari, and then finally closed. It wasn't a really high end mall back then, but wow has it changed. I grabbed a Peet's coffee and took a walk down memory lane.

With Sephora, Barnes & Nobles, Rei, Crate & Barrel, Sur la Table, and Athleta the place has a different vibe. It's nice to see Louis Thomas, a family clothier is still there.

Having my heart set on going to have a burger, I resisted going into some interesting eateries like World Wrap, Pig in a Pickle, and Blue Barn.

A beautiful facelift of this 20-year old center made it almost unrecognizable to me. The charming Elephant fountain is still there. I took a seat to people watch.

This outdoor mall is great . It was kind is strange to try to shop & enjoy it .
Sephora has a very long line :(
But the bookshop was good to walk right in , it's a big store , lots of wonderful gifts & wrapping papers , toys , cards , and more , starbucks also .
The counter is good and kind of fun , but I did not go by to see what they are doing currently .
Sadly the mall lost SLT , but luckily it has Crate and Barrel . I love Ethan Allen , I have a few pieces from them . Classic & well made furnishings .
I will do a bit more shopping , but let's face it , this holiday is challenging us all .
Hard time to feel comfortable spending , yet we seek normalcy and familiarity.
I want to throw caution to the wind , but we never shop w out grabbing a sit down and a bite , today it was order mobile and grab it with out contact .
But , u know , we all will get to the other side , soon I hope .
That's about it , I have to explore more here , to see what stores are still there .
