A waste of money. Had potential to be nice but not anymore. The set up of the mall is just bad. Most of the stores are trash. The food court is a mess. The Sears there makes me feel sad every time I look at it. They try to put in new stores but these stores are disappointing. This mall is awful, it’s a shame we couldn’t have a nice mall that everyone could enjoy. Bath and Body Works isn’t too bad and the movie theater is pretty good. It’s frustrating living here and having the only local shopping center be this mess.

Personally not that exciting a mall. I really only come here for the Vans store or the movie theater. Otherwise, its usually crowded and chock full of kids, more so than what you normally expect from a mall. I usually get in and get out ASAP. There are a few restaurants that are pretty good right outside the mall though, so if you want to eat somewhere other than the food court, check out some of the good restaurants on the perimeters (specificially the BBQ that Im failing to remember).

Northgate mall is a very good shopping mall. I would not say that it is amazing and certainly does not have the most high end shops, but it has a good variety and fits in well for the area that it is in. It is also the only shopping mall in Marin with this type of stores like Victorias Secret, Pac Sun, Tillys, Forever 21, H&M, Claires, etc. It is definitely targeted at a younger demographic but has stores for all age groups.

There really are very few reasons for me to drop-by Northgate Mall these days. The shops and restaurants are geared towards the teen set, but the Northgate Theatres are always reliable. Theres plenty of parking, a place to quickly charge an electric car and if you have teenagers, your best friend on a rainy school free day.

This place needs a major face lift and revitalization with a second floor for more stores and space for people to shop and hand around I know parking is an issue as much as traffic in the area, but you have to consider that this is the only one stop place to go and have fun when its raining buckets is not enough for Marin.

Parking sucks 30% of the time. Door dings might happen. But there is security around so you can feel more safe about you and your car. Tons of trash blowing all over. But the stores are on point! I love the ROSS and it has a great Quiznos ! The Safeway is huge and is alright I guess. I only come here for RoSS really.

I agree with Emily H: "Really lacking good stores, the old mall before the renovations was SO much better! This mall is cold, seems empty, not a lot of stores to chose from, the food court is very disappointing, and they dont even have the old arcade they used to have! I miss the old Northgate"

This mall has put in some "green" parking spaces up front for preferred vehicles which is rude and discriminatory. I will never shop here again when people in a Toyota Pious can park up front just because they bought into the latest global warming scam. They have lost my business forever!

This strip mall has a lot to offer. Several places to eat, I suggest trying BJS Restaurant and Brewhouse. Amazing food. Great atmosphere. Theres also a BBQ place and an Applebees. Very clean area and lots of parking. Pretty easy in and out, its California so theres always traffic.

It was really hot here and nobody has A/C, so we saw a movie and grabbed lunch. Theater is awesome, they have candy by the pound (serve yourself) and the facility is nice. The variety of food in the food court is very unique, with many different regions across the world covered.

Plenty of parking spaces not alot of shade unless you drive to the very back and park under the parking lot building. There is a car charging station by BJS. The stores are pretty good, but constant changes. Check their website to see the stores that are open.

Not my favorite. The restaurants arent great. Most of the stores cater to teens. Sears is a relic and Im not big fan of Macys. The movie theater is good enough and the playground entertains the kids. I like the sees candies and chipotle. BJs isnt bad.

The layout of the place is really weird and narrow. Not many stores to pick from and the main corridor is very dark for some reason. The place can defiantly use some improvements but it does have potential to be a great place to hang out and shop.

A little to big for me, but it was nice , I had to drive to different parts of the mall , because the stores I needed were to far apart, its ok for younger people, but I had my mother , older gal , not good for elders and handicapped people..

This mall has affordable stores and a limited food court, there really isnt much here compared to other malls, although Peets and rite aid are a bonus in my book. Theres much spread out between the 3 Northgate lots so check it all out!

H&M , Forever 21, Victorias Secret and other great other stores. Its the best shopping spot in whole Marin and its much cheaper than Corte Madera shopping area where you can find all other Macys, Banana Republic.. etc other brands.

I generally come to this mall for the closest H&M clothing store to Santa Rosa, theyve got a fairly standard array of stores, the mall seems fairly active and is close to the highway. Its nice but not mind blowing.

The renovations over the past 15 years and store variety have improved the mall very well. Victorias Secret and other great stores for budget shopping. Easy to find toilets throughout the mall entrances too.

Dylan Acosta

Over the years the mall has had so many changes. The local college kids dont even like to go here that often. Great for kids and familys! Anyone looking for work, this mall always has a place thats hiring.

Its always good experience to shop there. Its never crowded, maybe except holiday season. Great sales and good choice of restaurants and coffee shops. I would recommend to all.

Es un lugar muy bonito y amplio y tiene de todo con buen parqueo

Ricardo Licea

Mainly indoor mall with veriaty of stores to shop at. Macys and Sears anchor the Ends of the strip mall, while also having a small food court and movie theatres.

Raqshan Khan

Its a fairly good mall due to the movie theatre, but the relative size and variety of stores leaves much to be desired. Other than that a friendly environment.

Charles Sternberg

Terrible movie theatre. Staff is very rude and there is terrible service. Dont come to this theatre because there are much better theatres in Marin

Michele Kfouri

Sadly, this mall seems to be "dying". There are way too many vacant store fronts. Several national franchise restaurants have closed recently too.

Not very good for the brands I like to purchase, but the restaurant choices, snacks and food court are Good! They make the mall worth going to.
