Pavilions

I always look forward to visiting the Pavilions whenever in the area! It's fun to browse the shops and makes me feel like an upscale shopper! There are also a number of excellent restaurants within also! Some of my favorite places are: Williams & Sonoma, Talbots Petites, Soma, Pavilions Shoes & Gifts, Cafe Bernardo, Piatti Ristorante & Bar, & Wildwood Kitchen & Bar. I love the upper class feel to this shopping center. It's such a nice change from the usual chain store malls. Lots of original stores, shops and places to eat. Calm, casual shopping is more my thing and this is the place to get away from the crowds of pushy people with uncontrollable children and teenagers. While you won't find discount department stores here, they make up for it with specialty merchandise that you may not find anywhere else. The shops are neat and clean, with pleasant atmospheres. Employees are friendly, polite and acknowledging when we enter the door. While I have to admit that as I grow older and on a fixed income, shopping in general is losing it's luster, this place lights a romantic spark as to what classy shopping is all about!

Tranquillity, beauty and restaurants! The Pavilions has it all. Once considered only an upscale shopping location by many, the addition of great dining places has attracted a welcome population of the older and younger, families, pet lovers and groups! And the discovery of a smaller and more intimate area has become very appealing to them all. While some businesses have come and gone, the hot restaurant scene continues to be the anchor which keeps the Pavilions a top destination!My favorite two restaurants, Piattis and Cafe Bernardo, are here! Also the very popular Ruth's Chris Steak House and Wildwood Bar and Grill. Which are both always packed with people. Four very different food menus and atmospheres from which to choose. All with bars and outdoor patio seating. And I know Piattis even rewards you with all day happy hour on Sundays if you bring your pet :-) By the way, all four of these establishments offer happy hour!!! It truly is a foodie Mecca!One of a kind clothes stores to the well-known, lingerie specialty boutique, high-end jewelry, and my favorite Williams-Sonoma! All spread out in this lovely, walkable, meandering, brick shopping area! I have more fun window shopping then actually buying :-)!Once the sun sets,the Pavilions turns magical. All the twinkling lights appear and it is just beautiful. No matter what the time of year. The holidays are upon us! The Pavillions truly is the place you want to come and leisurely enjoy special moments with your family and friends! You will not be disappointed.I hope to see you there!

Great Little Shopping Center Tucked Away Off Of Fair Oaks BlvdSITREPI have been here several times now over the last few years for several different kinds of activities: for shopping, for coffee stops and for parties. THE SETUPNow that Insight Coffee has a shop over here, I find myself popping in here for a quick brew after I've stopped off to see my Dr. at the Kaiser Permanente just down a block or so, grab a pasty (maybe), but definitely to get a nice hot brew or a delicious iced tea (depending on the season or time of day).THE LAYOUTBut besides INSIGHT COFFEE, there are so many other stores to enjoy as well that I find myself perusing - either by myself or with friends - which include:* The very fancy clothing store JULIUS* The very contemporary women's clothing & accessory store MADAM BUTTERFLY* And the delicious *food porn* cake & pastry shop SUSIECAKESThere's also a rotation of cars that get stationed right at the entrance of the plaza - this go-around there was a Fiat and a Range Rover that my sweet friend Bambi did a "Vanna White" for me with:http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/the-pavillions-sacramento?select=d-fqu-AGZ9RWq3W1iApkDARACE FOR THE ARTSI've also enjoyed attending some fundraisers here at Pavillions, including two "Race For The Arts" during 2 different years. Always a fun time with lots of different food, many varietals of wine, and some great entertainment.THE LOWDOWNThe Pavillions is always a nice stop any day of the week, whether for simple grab of coffee, or a more elegant fund-raising event.

Next to the Loehmann's Plaza shopping center, The Pavilions is the second best shopping center in the Arden Arcade area of Sacramento.My favorite places are of course the restaurants! Ruth Chris, Cafe Bernardo and Piatti's are some of the best restaurants in the business. Berkley Bar has great bites and an amazing Happy Hour. Insight Coffee is outstanding and has the best mocha I have ever had. Lastly, newcomer Susiecakes holds its own with homemade cupcakes, cookies and cakes.There are also a few places to shop which don't involve food which mainly consist of a handful of clothing stores, a paper/card store, and a jewelry store. As you can tell, most people come here to eat!Parking is usually very easy with plenty of spots for everyone, unless you come during peak times which are usually lunch and Happy Hour/Dinner when spots can come as a premium.The shopping center itself is very nice and well kept with nice brick lining the walkways and buildings and nicely trimmed bushes and no trash or shady characters. I will keep coming back to The Pavilions as long as I'm in the area!

These guys are super nice. Car wash is awesome and detailed. "Then I saw her face! Now I'm a believer!" "Not a trace, of doubt in my mind!" "I'm in love, oooooooo I'm a believer I couldn't leave her if I tried"This song popped in to my mind because of this place.

I love shopping at the Pavilions, it's a beautiful center, with manicured landscapes and clean inviting areas to sit and relax. The parking is good, and it's an enjoyable space to walk around and window shop. The upscale shops and great eateries are not to be missed. My favorites are Julius Clothing store, SusieCakes Bakery and Williams & Sonoma along with InSight Coffee Roasters. Everything here at the Pavilions is so nice, you really just want to linger here just a little bit longer. The clean & classy environment make shopping and spending time here a wonderful experience. I also like that instead of a large traditional parking lot or street parking, here at the Pavilions the parking is more spread out through the whole center. A stop at the Pavilions is a smart & classy way to spend an afternoon.

I honestly love the pavilions, the property is so clean and very calm. They have security guards dressed as customers so its not as intense to see a cop walking around. You will always find parking in the pavilions, and all of the stores are good quality stores. During the holidays its amazing, they go all out for christmas and its so joyful! They have lights on every single tree and will put out huge decorations in the middle round- about, its very inviting. Its a great place to have lunch and then walk around without having to be in a rush of people like you would at arden. Its an outside shopping center so all of the stores are spaced out. I work at Lucy which is in the pavilions, and i love walking over to insight coffee and just being able to sit and enjoy an iced tea on my break. The pavillions occasionally will have events going on in the center, i know they have a car show where some people bring their really old style cars and people will walk around and just look at them. Also they put on the annual ART festival. The ART festival always draws people in, because they have food,jewelry, art, crafts and music vendors all come can set up throughout the pavilions. Its a fun all day event!

Pavilions is Sacramento's finest shopping center. Great restaurants and great stores like Julius make this a fabulous place to shop and dine. This is a safe, clean well-ordered place to be.

Great scenery. The stores and restaurants are looking so nice during christmas! I can smell all the foods it's making me hungry.

I usually go to Scrub Boys but decided to try Pavilions because it's near my gym. They did an okay job. It was pretty expensive and areas were left uncleaned. My experience was neutral. One thing I found weird is they unplugged my dash cam. That's fine I guess - still weird. But they didn't plug it back in. I didn't realize for FIVE days. If I was in an accident I would've been pissed.
