It's an unassuming little mall near the hustle and bustle of the intersection of Broadway and Cambie. Although there isn't particularly much to look at, it is a nice and cozy place to buy a coffee and rest for awhile at; the interior has a strong 80's feel to it (which is CRITICAL, in my books, to achieving a good rating haha). It also has an interesting looking little European bake shop on the... more

Weirdest Mall Ever.
But I Love it!! Has mostly everything I need.
I come here everyday for my Tea or Coffee break.

I only come here for the gym, Kin's market and Safeway, other than that there is no real purpose to the mall. I think that rating it a 3 is a bit much. It does house a lot of medical practices and a make-up school, however, as far as shopping is concerned as a mall, it's less to be desired. The food court is also sad as well. Parking is a nightmare as it is like parking in the a@s of an ant.

Whenever I'm in the neighborhood I usually stop in here (mostly to take a break from the rain.). It's a cute artisan mall with a lot of small independent shops and carts. I think it's one of the reasons I like this mall-between franchise restaurants like Subway, A&W and Starbucks, most of the retail here are small independent shops. There is a wide variety of services and lots of nifty craft... more

I love this mall. I don't like being in crowded areas so it's always refreshing to walk around here. There's a selection of restaurants upstairs, grocery stores, gym & yoga, and small stores that carry unique items you don't find in the busy shopping malls. You can get a lot of errands done here in a day. This place is clean and bright, just the way I like it.

I only come here for Steve Nash/Fitness World, Safeway & Kin's Market. Not even free food at Kirin's will lure me (well, it might). Just lacks any big names for me to do any shopping here.

I'll give the extra star for the heritage decor inside.

Part of the reason is the parkade entrance/exit on the side street sucks, but Cambie exit is good if you're going that way. Tight spots,... more

I like the heritage feel of this shopping place.

Neat shopping center with select specialty stores... If it has what you are looking for, then you will love it here, if not, you will really dislike it.

Why you might like City Square:
-bikram's yoga
-nice, clean, well equipped bathrooms
-new body energy club (great health products and yummy smoothies)
-fancy Kirin's Seafood Restaurant
-Safeway and Kin's market for your grocery shopping needs... more

In terms of being a mall, City Square Shopping Centre should instead be renamed City Square Business Centre. It's more of a business place than a "mall" place, not a teenage hang-out for sure.

City Square has the basics-groceries, a large foodcourt and some coffee shops. It is also an office hub with medical offices, and beauty salons. Especially convenient for those in the neighbourhood and... more

the only times i'm really ever in here is to go to the bikram's studio... i've explored it a tiny bit and i know it has a fruits & produce market, a clothing store (actually it might not even be there anymore because the last time i visited it, it was having a closing sale), a safeway, and a parking lot. it's a tiny "mall" (i don't know if you could even call it that) and there's not much to... more

I'm a wanderer. This means that sometimes during my break I go to the mall or close by stores (e.g. Michaels) and aimlessly wander.

The mall architecture itself is actually really awesome. Inside the mall is another old, stone building that half houses Blanche MacDonald Centre. If anything - go there to see this.

There is a Steve Nash Fitness Facility, Safeway, Starbucks, Bikram Yoga,... more

Home to Safeway, Fitness World, a beauty school, a wine store, and a couple of random shops that I've never had the need to enter, City Square is kind of a ghetto mall that parades around like it's not.

It's pretty though.

City square dental: Modern office with TV's in the ceiling. I had gotten a verbal quote on a white filling replacement but then went to pay and it was over double the quote. They told me there was more to do. I should have been informed and given the option to get almagam instead. Make sure you get a written quote. Otherwise this place is good.

So, City Square isn't actually a mall like you might be used to. It's more utilitarian...it's not a hang-out mall or a spend the afternoon at the mall kind of place. There are a couple of useful stores- Kin's Market, a great kitchen store and a really good beer and wine store. Mostly, people come here to go to Safeway or Fitness World. It is busy on weekdays because it has medical offices... more

我年輕時的回憶

this mall is strange.. half glass, half castle with a mish/mash of random stores. oh and blanche macdonald is located in one of the castle towers.

City square has free wiiiii fiiii! And the health store makes great choco peanuts butter protein shake!

Also Blanche Macdonald has lovely students that make the mall more cheery and Bikram's Yoga has taut yoginis that up the karma level.

yep,

it's City Square for cheery models and taut yoginis.

Weird little mall with weird little shops. Highlights: Cook-shop and the beer and wine shop that sometimes sells things for less than the BCLB (how do they manage that?). Letdowns: very lame dollar store and that strange lady's clothing shop that seems to cater to somebody's crazy aunt (many floral dresses and bejewelled tops).

In it's name you think that you may get some mass shopping done here, some big box stores maybe lurking here, and your money will be spent happily with tons of variety, well, think again, the name may have 'shopping centre' but I don't know how else to describe this place. I come here usually to get to the Fitness World on the 3rd floor, and have rarely walked around here. The place is usually... more

This place isn't really for shopping for clothing.

A good place to get groceries at the local Safeway, go for a workout at the Fitness world upstairs, sit down and have some food in the food court, have some Chinese cusine at Kirin upstairs, grab some wine from the wine shop, buy some kitchenware from the Cook Shop, grab a coffee or tea from the tea shop upstairs (Cultured) or Starbucks. These... more

True to it's name this is more of a shopping centre than an actual "mall" due to it's lack of apparel type stores.

However there is a lot of good stuff here! They have a broad range of specialty stores, dr's, dentists, spa/hair salon, grocery store, dollar store, coffee shop, farm market and a liquor store open until 11pm EVERY NIGHT! I like my liquor so the late night liquor availability... more

Vancouver's hidden mall. Free Wi-Fi.

I just moved in the Fairview neighbourhood and I really love having this mall a short walking distance away. I love the stone walls and the glass panels everywhere, besides, it's so convenient, after my workout at Fitness World, I can just go grocery shopping at Safeway or at the farm market for fresh fruits and vegetables before heading home or downtown with the new Canada line! I just wish... more

Unlike other malls in Vancouver, City Square takes a Spartan approach. It's never really been able to find its niche so the retail outlets that occupy the lot are constantly changing and kiosks are always shifting and moving. With its ever-revolving retail door, the only mainstays that come to mind are Safeway, Fitness World and Crankpots.

It's a shame that no retailers have managed to be very... more

A small, intimate, fairly exlusive mall exists on the corner of Cambie and 12th Avenue: Welcome to City Square.

I used to go work out at the large, 24-hour Fitness World located at City Square, and would usually stop in at the main-floor Safeway to get some groceries after. There was always ample parking, and the mall is clean and bright -- a nice experience for those who are visiting for a... more
