Reviews of Columbia Square Plaza (Mall)

Byron Powell

Busy but has everything you need from coffee, awesome food, groceries, hardware, banks, haircuts dentistry, and even a post office in the drugstore. One stop shopping.

Sirustar

Friendly and efficient staff. No complaints here. Decent parking and close to Skytrain. I approve of this establishment!

Steve Noel

I come here for my cat food at Bosleys, groceries at Save On and sometimes take out at the Taco place or BK. Lots of parking and super accessible

Jesmina Biserovic

Fully equipped and walking friendly plaza with every shop at your fingertips: bank, liquor, Chronic Tacos!, drugstore, grocery, pizza, sushi, Medspa, nail spa, when a pricy pancake house :)

Tyler Grusendorf

Is a good little strip mall with a drug store, save on more, a few smaller shops, and a couple of places to eat. I live nearby and use the plaza quite often for my shopping and dining needs.

Strength IN Freedom

Lots of variety of shops ,from save on foods to an animal hospital ,shusi,Boston pizza, banks,cibc..basically everything you need in one place which is convenient. Reasonable prices in most places (average) not covered so when its raining not a place to just walk around. Positive all together

Beverly Henry

I love this mall. They have a Cockney King restaurant for the best fish n chips, a great little dollar store, a Save On Foods and a smaller Rona store. It's perfect for all my needs.

Bob

Went to Cockney Kings, for Halibut and Chips. They're well organized around covid passports, and surrounding procedures. Great friendly and prompt staff. Super prices. Great seafood selection on the menu. It was moderately busy, even at 3:00 in the afternoon . And, - the food tasted TERRIFIC! Still the best in the lower mainland!

Big Bad Ben

Really good service. I never get upset when I have a problem because they fix it right away. Very friendly staff. I'm glad the TD across from them closed my account making me come to BMO.

george henry

Great area . Has all the little stores ya need. Just watch out for the junkies.

Mara Brousseau

I visited Bosley Pet store in Columbia Square. They always have what I need for my dog, cat, and wild birds And the always offer to carry it out to my car. Love it there!

Rodney Full Circle

I go to Columbia Square quite often. May have a good array of stores that serve Community well. Place is always kept clean and they have not gotten into the bad habit of charging for parking. I've never had a bad experience in relation to this Marketplace. The Boston Pizza is always fun. The Save-On-Foods is a smaller store but with good service. The Burger King is a bit slow there and I do wish they could make it a bit better. I like the TD Canada Trust and Cockney Kings is always good for quality fish and chips. The sushi restaurant there is not a fancy place but the food is good. It is very rare for there to be no parking. you have to be careful what exit you use as sometimes there can be congestion due to the popularity of the entrance at the Cockney Kings. Gratefully there is more than one way to get into the marketplace parking lot. It's a good place and I like there.

Mark Coderre

The shops are great! Feels like a community for sure. The plaza needs to rework the parking, very inefficient.

angelwingsaglow cozart

This Safeway is much brighter and friendly. It's enjoyable shopping their. Stay away from the Surrey one. They treat you like your a thief. Being followed by under cover security. Making sure you don't leave their lot. Even if you shopped in their store. I asked the employee if I could run next door to get Chinese noodles as they don't sell those. She told me I can't leave their lot. I have to shop and leave... There is no friendly customer service. So I will never return. Every other Safeway I have been to though has been a pleasant shopping time.

Keira Mason

Good selection. Parking lot can be a bit of a nightmare

Ronnie Larson

Not a bad little plaza.. has lots of food places to choose from. Save on foods, shoppers, BC Liquor store, hardware store. Check it out

Tyler Kelly

Nice little shopping center would go back.

yeetus thatfeetus

Good super market but in my opinion you could get cheaper at Superstore.

Brad Wilde

Columbia Square is a sh€£ show of nonsense. Parking is like having shingles, it's always tough to turn and it's always painful. And there's always the steady parade of shady folk doing their zombie walk to the drug store for their daily shoplift or to the liquor store for their daily shoplift or to the Rona for their daily shoplift.

Lowell Kingston

This shopping centre has many different types of stores. In New West wha sets it apart, is it's numerous restaurants. Burger King, Subway, Cockney King's fish & chips, De Dutch, Boston Pizza, Hayashi Sushi, Chronic Tacos and Starbucks. It also has Save-on-Foods and the BC Liquor store.

Archie Henderson

Nice smaller mall. Some ready to eat food places, coffee shops, restaurant, Safeway, dollar store, shoe repair, Fido mobile and movie theater. Bank machine at the RBC. Play area for little kids.

Jim Chow

Went there for fish and chips at Cocky Kings, One of the best place for it.

Allen Mar

Nice little shopping plaza offering a Supermarket, Pet Supplies, Dental, Fabrics, Hardware, Shipping/Receiving/Mailboses, Dollar store, Fish & Chips, Banking, Coffee, Pizza, Burgers, Dutch food, Pharmacy, and more!!!

S Dedic

Great lots of things in one place, from coffee shop to restaurants, grocery stores, banks, walk in clinic etc... lots parking available.

Fernando Aragon

Great location and stores are good

Elise Weatherby

This is a decent place to get things done but the parking configuration could be better if I want to get coffee, groceries, send a parcel and pick up something from the LC you end up either driving around with in the parking lot or spending a ton of time lugging stuff to your car. There is not really any covered parking either. It is however good for walking shopping trips.

Rosie F

Smaller save on, but still has a lot of stuff. If you need weird stuff, do not go here as they are a smaller save on. No self check outs. But still, I think they have a solid selection of things. Their staff is very nice. I've seen some customers harass the cashiers though. Stop that, you Jerks!

Robin

Recently visited this plaza. It does have some good restaurants if you like to grab a bite.Cockney Kings Fish & Chips is a good spot. It also has save on foods which is very convenient.

ken rosadiuk

Well located at bottom of the hill in New West. Has a Subway, Starbucks, Shoppers Drug Mart with Canada Post, Save-On, Cockneys fish & Chips, and awesome Chronic Tacos.

L Akk

This small Plaza with several food stores, liquor store, Shoppers, outside eatery and coffee shop with outdoor tables, benches and water trickling. I call it 'relaxed shopping'

Jason Low

If you're in new Westminster quay side there great restaurants around area and think it IGA food shop Boston pizza fish and chip shop Burger King Starbucks pet shop drug store and more also government liquor store

Ryan aka Dj Whalleywood Mudgway

Not a great selection to choose from ,although tends to be overcrowded and frustrating if you're in a hurry partly because it's one of very few/ only shopping plaza's in the downtown area of New West. Still thankful for it and it's a place I frequently attend.

Malcolm Lee

???? Just don't like the layout Any public washroom facilities?? All shops close their washroom by saying out of order, do you believe it ???? Starbucks, Safeway.......

Kevin Smale

Nice little shopping area but there were a lot of people hanging around who seemed possibly drunk or on drugs, made us not want to stay long so we ate and left.

Jayson Wing

Pretty cool little plaza. Has an excellent Boston Pizza and a really good BCL with alot of variety. Save on Foods is great too. Plenty of fast food places like Burger king & Subway which meh, but overall has what you need, no complaints ???? ???? ????

Adam D

There's not a lot to do in this plaza. The Save On isn't great, and the pharmasave is a miss. There's a Starbucks like every other street corner in this city. The good? Fish and Chips if you eat that, and the Boston Pizza is decent for happy hour pints...but there's so many better pubs just a 5-10 min walk away

Vasanth Ravichandran

Awesome place with a wide variety of selections

Cp Jat

Neighbourhood shopping complex with some grest dinning options.

Ruby Baljit Sabharwal

Almost everything is there.....very convenient ????

Ian Mason

I'm really happy that it is close to home. We need a good dollar store to replace the one that closed.

J. Lalonde (Creeboi80)

Its convenient if your living close to Stewardson way plus there alot more amenities here as well

Mr .G

Bob Muskego (Zero)

Personally I find this area a great place to unwind from the dreary commonplace of day to day life. Especially at the end of a work week. Everyone's usually very friendly although in a bit of a rush.

Gary Boyd

Average shopping centre. Could use some better food choices. BP and BK bleh..,..the Dutch Place bleh much much better Dutch place at River Market.

Michael Methot

Good selection of stores and services.

RespectivelyMe

All the basic needs are here, a grocery, a bank and even a hair dresser and dollar store, as well as a liquor store when you wish to treat yourself. The Boston pizza is open late and the Dutch is open early for eating out. The square is kept decently clean with lots of parking for use. The homeless come around alittle at night but do not make a massive disturbance. No all star business to draw you in but worth a passing drive through to see what it offers you

Regner Blok-Andersen

It's a plaza... With stores... I guess I can rate the parking, which is ok. Dunno how else to rate this... It has food, liquor, and DeDutch.

Glenn Redbear

Many good offerings here. Cockney kings fish and chips, chronic taco, California style Mexican restaurant, good sushi and Starbucks along with many choices I frequent less often.

kim wilson

I love this small it's got a bit of everything from Fabricland to Save-On-Foods to Cockney Kings and the dollar store as well as the liquor store and pharmacy

Selina

groceries and liquor or a quick bite to eat. that's what this plaza has to offer. I think there's also a pharmacy here and some kind of gym?

Ethan Cote

An enjoyable shopping complex for all variety of products... Parking is easily available.

P Casey

Lots of great places to shop here. Also has good medical related services as well.

Avis Unwin

Small mall but has a few good stores medical Dr's upstairs

Manuel M.

Great place to walk. Many stores.

Wendy Porter

Nice plaza and easy access to sky train. The movie Theater has reclining seats, nice!

Trevor Cross

A great grocery store. The staff is very nice and helpful. The only thing I dislike is that the store can be very cramped in areas, and not in others. The space could be organized better. The worst is the check out lines and having to line up down aisles, and it makes it hard to see where the shortest line is to line up in.

Robin Sukorokoff

Line signs are confusing at first, but slow down, read them for directions! A note to staff, the music was really loud, with the masks, hard to hear staff, all else great.

Nadege Schedler

Huge store with many options!

Alexandra Laviolette

This little plaza has it all! Even a Fabricland!! It's close to my work so I end up going here a lot. Usually to the Save on Foods. There's lots of shops in the plaza. Vapestreet, Pharmasave, Burger King, De Dutch, Boston Pizza, Menchies and much more!

Starlette

I go here relatively often as I do live closeby (about a five minute walk) and it has quite a variety of stores that makes living in the area incredibly convenient. The parking lots and store fronts are kept very clean, and you wont find errent shopping carts taking up space in thr parking lot either. The stores I frequent the most also seem to have the most friendly and knowledgeable staff. So 5 stars from me.

Gurveer Kaur

Its a little plaza and one can accomplish many tasks in one go. Save on Foods, Pharmasave, Boston Pizza, Yoga & Fitness Center, Menchies Frozen Yogurt, Buck & two, Fish and Chips restaurant, Bank, Veterinary care, Eye Care, Starbucks, Subway, Haircut salons, Liquor store and few more stores makes it easy to shop in one go. There is ample parking space available.

Clifford Dorosh

Busy place.a good Verity of shops and restaunts.

Adam Niiranen

Lots of parking, things are pretty quick.

Danny Tse

Excellent little strip mall in the heart of downtown New Westminster, BC. Several fast food places, a bank branch, Rona Reno center, UPS locker and IGA grocery market are among many businesses. Visited Burger King for a quick bite was the reason for my visit today.

T. M.

The Best Save -on-Foods the Best veterinary clinic the Best Pharmasave the Best Fish and chips and boston (its open late) how can you go wrong. Oh! There is a liquor store too! (Its a late one too) (if you partake of that sort of thing) customer service in New West is excellent!

Marcia marcinha

i just love this particular Save on foods. They have the best kaiser buns, allways fresh. they are very good in terms of safety and very polite and helpful people.

Jarrett Viczko

Good array of stores and services. All smaller shops, even the ones you'd expect to be big, but most everything you need on a dash-out trip is here.

Glenn Martin

I didnt go in so i dont know my girlfriend loves fabricl and

Kam zen

I love Save on food, best products, great quality and bigger reasons its Canadian store

Todd Kahtik

Visit Cockney Fish and Chips on a regular basis in this plaza. Parking is tight, but the food and service is wonderful. Do enjoy this location.

Alan Arthur

Cockney kings best fish a d chips in the mainland hands down

Chun Au (Chunster)

This place has a variety of shops including a Safeway, bank, Starbucks, dollar store etc. The problem is that it always has a garbage smell. It gets really bad on a hot day. Junkies shooting up in the public does not help it's image.

Solomon Belsher

Not a terrible plaza I found that it's setup is personally kinda cluttered but all round includes alot of stores for just about anybody's needs.

Komal Saxena

Spacious parking - that's was I like. And every store is so accessible... Love New Westminster

Bradley Munro

Good mix of stores Cockney Kings best fish and chips in the City

Leo Girl

Great place to shop and browse!

James Cobalt

Save-On-Foods is a lot more expensive than the Safeway to be found about a block-and-a-half away. There is also aBoston pizza, drug store, Subway, a couple of banks, a fantastic fish and chips joint, a chronic tacos, and a pretty great dollar store. All in all, a four-star place to visit. I'm there almost everyday.

pamela hyson

Nice small quite mall Under ground free parking

FilmBizDude

It's close to me thus very convenient. Offers a variety of shopping and dining destinations. Always clean with plenty of parking.

Chris Deger

Great place, has a few cool spots and good food

sheri cormier

Not my favorite place to hang out

Suzie Kottke

Lots of parking and walking distance to every store needed to go. There is a parking time limit and do not suggest leaving vehicle and walking away.

Amanpreet Randhawa

Fast food, Dessert shops, Grocery Store and good restaurants can be found in this Plaza

Erin Kerr

A nice cozy little area of shops and restaurants here, such as the delicious Cockney Kings Fish & Chips. And there is also a Save On Foods. I love going to Fabricland here which has been there for as long as I can remember. If you have pets, Bosley's is a great place to find everything you need.

Luke Matz

Everything you could want is here Boston pizza pharmasave rona sushi burger place td bank de dutch b.c liquor store pet food laundry mat welfare office and a bunch more

Patricia Sheppard

Small mall but the dollar store is going out of business ...everything is 50%off right now ...not sure how long

Stuart Weatherby

It's okay, it's nice that there is a rona there but the selection is really limited, the grocery store also smaller than usual .

Yasser Alnassri

I was given a ticket for unfair reasons I think. I went there to do something at TD bank, then later I went to safe on foods. Even though my vehicle was marked during two separate visits, I still got a ticket. I called the number and they said they don't have an in and out system. too unfortunate I had to pay the ticket but I am not there ever again.

Mubra Asghar

Doctor's office there and pharmacy alao

Olivier Martineau

Very nice and personal feel when shopping there, very helpful and cheerful staff.

Sabrina Georgees

Super convenient to run in grab what you need and leave. Although it's a smaller store and they don't carry certain item. Busy lot and getting to it has become an extreme challenge due to the new traffic and street pattern.

Ivan Narayan

Easy to get too. Plenty of parking and not too busy. Lots of grocery and restaurants and easy in and out. Lots of covid friendly dining and shopping. Close to quay and other dining as well. Easy walking distance to 8th street and to other new west attractions.

Glenn Atchison

Busy retail area. Lots of activity, Starbucks, Burger King, to mention just a few. Lots of choices.

Mark

I bought a cooked ham it was way overdone I put it in the bin as I have no time to return it .

Anna Kowalewski

Decent shopping center. The ups store staff are super friendly and helpful

Barry Holland

Looks like Google GPS is broke!! I was behind this mall about a block away 3 days ago for an eye appointment!

Joseph Jallad

Nice plaza lots of stores and food options.

Lisa Hotomanie

Lots of shops surrounding the free parking lot: groceries, alcohol, fabric, yoga, insurance, drugstore, Burger King, fish n chips etc.

Mitch Bain

A good variety of stores with London Drugs, Canadian Tire, Mark's, WhiteSpot, Tim Horton's, Coldzone Liquor store, Kins veggies, MacDonalds, and many more places though it can get busy. So check it out you will be amazed.

Irena K

You need to buy a food for yourself or a pet, buy some meds or see a doctor, have a coffee or enjoy you food at a restaurant...then visit Columbia square. Everything what you need is located there. Very convenient place with lot's of parking.

Sam Kellett

Great mall with lots of stores and parking.

Dar Corr

What do you want me to say? Large outdoor mall, it has a Chronic Tacos. Needs a bigger general store. That little Pharmasave doesn't have much. It does have a tiny, yet surprisingly useful Rona.

Rick Pappin

I only went into the Walmart and it is poorly laid out, and crowded and messy. The space was originally designed to be a Woodward's grocery store and just doesn't work as a Walmart!

Joanne K

Great Canadian grocery store that is always a pleasure to shop at

Ben Greenfield

Except for parking, it's has a good spread if shops

Rob Ekins

There are some good places to eat and shopping right there and a well stocked liquor store. Optometrist up top and Physio.

M. Berry

This mall is an ok one around New Westminster. There are places to eat, coffee shop, pharmacy, a Loonie and grocery store also. There is a nail salon, a Liquor store, a bank, and even a Walk in clinic! The only but very annoying problem, is the parking lot and the traffic! There are cars everywhere always but it gets worse around rush hours. I honestly think drivers go THROUGH the parking lot to avoid traffic jams on the major or streets around it. That is annoying and dangerous, too many cars coming at you from different directions. It is especially bad when trying to back up to leave your parking spot and leave the place. One has to be extremely careful when doing so because of all the cars coming on different directions and not precisely at low speed. It would be good to put speed bumps and have local traffic control authorities make unexpected appearances here and there, to check for speeding vehicles and the like. Maybe after a few tickets, drivers will either be more careful,or avoid using the parking lot as a short cut altogether.

Steve Epp

Convenient location for Skytrain users, has pretty much anything you need. The Rona is tiny, don't expect any lumber.

P D

I love New West. It's a one stop shopping, everything you need mall. Terrific fruit and veggies store!!!!! Great food court. And, located centrally in the heart of New West, lots of GREAT food places, auto shops, everything!

James Belcher

Went to shoppers mart. Great place to go if u need something Real quick. Run in run out fast and Quick. Love it. Great service...

John Irving

A solid small Save On. Friendly staff, good selection. Park underground for free while shopping. No hassle and I have always found a spot.

michael greggain

Some one from there decide to call impark and have my fiance car towed when not even there for one Hr and she had called kia 24 road side Assistance and have it towed to a dealer to get it services do to Mechanical problems, the same towing company that was going to toe it had itin there ward

Patrick Labonte

Employees that work here have to pay for parking!! Or they can go park in the neighborhood somewhere. Fairly lame if you ask me.

Eric Hansen

I just wanted a coffee while waiting for my car to be serviced. It was nice see all the different shops available.

David R

Come here to eat at Cockney King fish n chips. One of the better fish n chips places in the region.

하헌호

If you need parking space around there ,you should park this area for couple hours free.

B Costalota

Nice open air mall. Decent variety of stops and services. Plenty of free parking.

Darrell Sovdi

Helpful friendly staff. Reasonable selection with convenient free underground parking

Sharilyn Buchanan

It is very easy to find. The stores are laid out well. There is a real variety of stores and businesses available. Lots of parking.

Peter Ushijima

A convenient strip mall with a good smaller sized Save On as anchor tenant. There are various restaurants such as C-lovers and Boston Pizza along with Burger King, De Dutch Pannkoek, and Burger Heaven is across the street. The mall contains many services including an insurance provider, UPS, a Bosleys etc.

Colin

Like all stripmall type areas, parking is a nightmare and whoever designed the traffic flow system must have failed all those classes at university. However, there is a good diversity of shops, including a couple restaurants. If you plan on going to this Shoppers Drug for mail, give yourself an extra 30 minutes to wait in line as it can get quite busy.

Bil E

Good little mall with a Starbucks and liqour store. What more do you need? Food? Done. Restaurants and groceries available. Got gas after your pig out? Rexal has you covered for pepto. There's even a dollar store for what ever that's worth.

C C

This area is a strip mall with quite a few different stores. Most of the stores here are restaurants (fast food chains and sit down restaurants). There is Cockney Kings fish and chips that I'd highly recommend as it has an all-you-can-eat option that you can't go wrong on!

Steve Forbes

Convenient location, Pharmasave/post office, Rona, SaveOn, BC Liquor, restaurants/fast food, dollar store...etc, free parking, several ways in and out. Open WiFi throughout the premises

Jennifer

A nice square, good atmosphere, and a number of stores incl a big Save On, even a BMO. The great fish and chips restaurant Cockney Kings is there too. Also there's a Fabricland and Bosley's, plus a Rona on site, and a Boston Pizza, if you get hungry while you're buying. A good shopping experience!

Richard Platko

This grocery store always has top of the line products and fresh vegetables I am Too pleased with the selection and quality of products that are available

Dee Jay

Hosts a variety of shops and service establishments, Save On , RONA, Pharmasave, banks, a clinic. Convenient place to go to pick stuff up on your way home.

austin hogan

I was never hear. And I don't know why google asked me to contribute my knowledge and experience gained from visiting this place. But if I were to have visited and tried some pizza possibly a drink at Colombia square pizza. My rating and review would be based on flavour of the pizza.. Was the place clean? Points taken off if they have bad English. Points added if for the amount of attractive people in the pizza joint. I know this is useless to you. But I'm trying to get one of my google achievements. Maybe I'll go give it a try.

Lia Burhanuddin

Menchies is near by, so that's great. While walking alongside the water and enjoying the scenery, taking some pictures.

Jem Purdy

It's smaller than regular stores but at least the meat dept is friendly and adept to watching their counter before a line up grows. Royal City location is hard to get service when their back is turned to you and staff are grumbling to each other, and the older ladies appear to be so bitter and angry when they do tend to you. Columbia is not like that at all.

Steven Bennett

Ministry Office I Live In Newestminster Now

Eric Stephan

Cool place all out doors. Ok . All you needs for life. Ps stay away for B.K.

John Cordrey

It's good fresh food with butcher to cut meats mind you breads are made with mixed batched flours or frozen products from boxes
