Westfield San Francisco Centre

Hands down on this Location. This Mall is centrally Located right in the City. Adjacent to the Famous Cable Car on Powell St (This Cable car would end up at Fisherman’s Wharf) Union Square is a block away…
Convenient Location with Lots of Shops to choose from. Hollister, Zara, Abercrombie, H&M to name the few…
Feeling Hungry? No problem they have the whole Lower Street Level Food court to fill you stomach and hit the Road after…

This mall is pretty impressive — and not just because the escalators are curved. The store variety is quite good and I think there really is something here for everyone.

Huge selections of mid-​high end stores. Don’t see what you like? Walk 2 – 3 blocks and there are other shops and boutiques around each corner. Best city ever!

I LOVE THIS MALL! It has a little bit of everything from delicious foods and the most popular retail stores. I should mention Nordstrom is ridiculously huge here. It’s really pretty here during the holidays and I normally do christmas shopping here. Some stores here are expensive, but it’s reasonable being in the city. There are tons of escalator so this mall can be a bit confusing. This mall is pretty touristy so don’t be shocked as to why it’s always crowded. I do recommend anyone to check this mall out. It’s beautiful and one of my favorite malls! I know i’ll be back here soon to do some shopping. Also, this mall does have a movie theatre all the way at the top! You can take escalators there and an elevator. The top dome of the mall has cute projector stuff going on sometimes throughout the day, there are more restaurants at the top too!

Westfield is a veritable vortex of tourists that are either rabidly eager to spend exorbitant amounts of money in the spirit of American retail or blissfully unaware of the lack of bargains offered at this mall. During my last visit, I was lucky enough to just be the travel guide for visiting family that took on both of these characterizations.
There’s a lot of higher end stops here, but for those looking to browse through more affordable wares, there’re a few standard mall staples speckled around, so long as you’re okay with frequent floor-​hopping. My afternoon of shopping pretty much exclusively took place right outside, on Powell Street: much more my scene and much more in tune with my budget. My two hour sojourn at Westfield itself was mostly just me carrying bags and sitting idly as my cousin made her rounds at Tory Burch, Kate Spade, and Tiffany’s. I will admit, most of my disappointment with this mall stems from its lack of solid quality seatage. There are always droves of bored husbands and antsy kids looking to pop a squat while they wait for mom… the race to get to a comfortable-​ish chair can get cutthroat.
If you’re in tourist mode, Westfield is a spendy spot worth stopping by, but I’d recommend spending more time right outside: prime people-​watching opportunities. Ditch your bougie temptations and soak up the Union Square sun.

Great mall in San Francisco off Market street. I’ve been coming to this mall since I was a little kid. It has changed a lot since then. It has gotten bigger and more stores added over the years.
Very large mall with a ton of selection of stores and food. You can definitely find what you are looking for!
I’m not the best to advise about parking because I’ve always come here when visiting at a nearby hotel. This mall has public parking and valet parking. if you are not driving there are tons of public transportation options to get you to the mall.

This mall is really world class, it has every kind of shop that you could want, and then some, all in a beautiful space. The Nordstrom is just the best and beautiful to walk around. The food court on the bottom floor is definitely better quality than your average mall food court. Often filled with San Franciscan’s and tourists!

Parking: Very hard to find — took me 1 hour to find one
This mall has a lot of high-​end stores, but also has it’s fair share of stores for us middle-​class people. It’s always nice to walk around and see what I would like to want, but only shop at the stores I can afford the merchandise. It’s a pretty big mall and enjoy the variety of stores it offers. I like the amount of shops and restaurants they have. There is a wide range of stores.

This place is huge, impressive and has a lot of great shops, but I map so I know what shops and where they are located would be so helpful.
We entered from Market Street looking for the Lucky Store and fumbled around trying to find a map. We finally had to ask one of the kiosk vendors and endure a 10 minute sales pitch (that would have gone on later had I not been trying to squash it the entire time).
It wasn’t until AFTER we found Lucky, shopped and left that we decided to take an elevator down to the main floor, that we found the map tucked in the hallway. Who would look there when you have such amazing curved escalators?

Pretty cool mall. Expensive and luxurious.
Pros:
— Wide variety of stores and restaurants at the top and bottom of the mall
— A Century movie theatre at the top
Cons:
— Expensive but it is expected
— If you go past the mall from the financial district — it gets pretty damn ghetto

We dropped in to this mall not realizing just how many shops were inside! I really liked the selection of high end to affordable so shoppers of all sorts were walking around. It was a Sunday and raining outside so I’m guessing folks were also seeking some refuge from the weather outside. Because of the building in which it was located, some of the building features we were pretty (glass dome at the top of the building). If you have some time to kill and want to do a little bit of window shopping. You should drop by!

The iconic Westfield San Francisco Centre has been popular since day one. This is probably due to its central location near Powell and Market in downtown San Francisco and direct access to BART and MUNI at the Powell Street Station. Locals and tourists alike wander around the shops in the original circular mall and the newer Emporium addition.
This is a great place to spend lots of money or people watch. Most of the stores are standard suburban fare, and quite frankly most locals get the same stuff online instead. Their food court is a destination with more upscale options and is often a convenient meeting place.
Love it or hate it, Westfield is now a central part of the San Francisco experience.

Fantastic mall in San Francisco! The first 3 floors are filled with an abundance of shops! The food court/​emporium located is on the lower/​bottom floor (phenomenal, btw) which is a must stop by if you are there.
The 4^th floor and above are dedicated to Nordstrom. The escalators are one of my favorite things to do here, lol! ;) The curvy but smooth rides allow us to view the whole mall from different angles and levels, which is an experience worth coming for in and of itself!
I would definitely recommend stopping by here for your shopping and eating needs, if you are in the area! :D

I have been here multiple times now and the experience is always positive. This mall is chock full of stores, both affordable and high end. Mostly, I come here for Lupicia (tea shop). In addition, the food court is probably the best I have been to in a mall in America. Sad the Blue Bottle is gone though!
I can’t say anything about parking because I always take public transportation here. The location is very central, so the mall can get extremely crowded at times.
Unilocal 100 Challenge — 2016 [8/​100]

Best mall in the city of San Francisco. Nordstrom and Bloomingdales anchor the ends and there are 4 floors of all types of shops. You have almost everything with the exception of major appliances or electronics.
I really like the food court in the basement and eat there a few days of the week.

I cannot say why I hate malls but I do. I came here in 2007 and was amazed by the sheer size of this place. I have been in here a few times when we come down to SF to work. Usually, it’s bringing family that came for a visit– they ooh and ahh like I did. My stepmom at that time was excited to say she was at Bloomingdales– okay then.
We came last Sunday and they were packed, then I remember why I hate malls. My husband was heading to the Tumi store and we had to walk around while they monogrammed his bag.
It’s a visually appealing mall with curved escalators and fancy stores. If you love malls you will probably stroke out in here but if you are like me– have a small panic attack until you reach sweet freedom of the doors to the street/​which just so happen to be close by on all accounts.
It is worth going whether you love or hate the thought of mall shopping.

Direkt im Herzen von San Francisco in der Market Street befindet sich das Westfield San Francisco Centre. Eigentlich waren wir schon ein wenig shoppingmüde nach den vielen Outlets und der Umrechnungskurs zum Euro war auch nicht besonders attraktiv.
Das Einkaufszentrum wirkte auf mich sehr edel und die Anordnung der Ebenen und die spiralförmig angeordneten Rolltreppen sehen sehr surreal aus. Im Jahre 2009 schaffte es das Shopping Center in das Finale der Wahl «World’s Best Shopping Center».
In den ca. 180 Stores findet man unter anderem American Eagle Outfitters, Banana Republic, Coach, J. Crew, Tory Burch, Timberland, H&M, Zara, Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch, Adidas, Boss und viele weitere. Mein Sohn konnte ein paar Schnäppchen bei Abercrombie Kids ergattern.
Für das leibliche Wohl ist dort auch gesorgt. Man findet hier Restaurants in allen Preisklassen oder auch nur Snacks aller Art und ein Starbucks darf natürlich auch nicht fehlen. Wobei ich auf jeden Fall Peet’s Coffee & Tea als Kaffeladen vorziehen würde. Im Center kann man das kostenfreie WLAN nutzen.
Das Westfield San Francisco Centre sind täglich geöffnet. Die Öffnungszeiten sind von Montag bis Samstag von 10.00 Uhr bis 20.30 Uhr und am Sonntag von 11.00 Uhr bis 19.00 Uhr. Insgesamt bietet das Einkaufszentrum eine gute Auswahl an Geschäften und die Anlage ist sehr interessant gestaltet.

So, the escalators go up in curves. Hold on, take a breath. WHAAAAT?! THEY SERIOUSLY CURVE?! One thing, that is smart about the way the escalators work, is that you literally have to walk on the other side everytime you get up another floor, so this means that you’ll have to pass by other shops located closer to the escalators (good marketing technique — the rent for these shops must all be around the same price if that’s the case, unlike other malls that probably charge the mall directly in front of the escalator a way higher rent fee).
I honestly can’t even count how many levels there are in this mall — it’s ridiculously large with a cinema and some tech companies closer to the top floor, a grocery store located at the bottom floor and tons of shops in between. I think Nordstrom takes up a couple floors closer to the top as well.

I like this mall. I like how Westfield mall has all the variety of foods at the food court. My favorite ground level btw. Yeah it will make you feel like a real true San Franciscan shopper.
The negatives: A couple of days ago, I was in the Westfield Mall during the evenings, right after I came from the Powell St. Station. Let me tell you. The mall felt so freaking humid in there that I had to run out of the mall to get some fresh air because I could not breathe in this hot air. I was running around in the mall for 10 mins so I could find the exit door within this big mall. Not to mention the Powell St. Station was so freaking hot as well but there is a reason for that, only due to a lot of homeless that like to sleep in at night. That’s why the heater is constantly on now.

Only in SF can you find a 7 story mall (well maybe elsewhere but I’m not aware of it). Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom as anchors and so many other shops including a theater. Food court on the bottom along with Bristol Farms. A great place to escape the chaos on Market St.

The restored Emporium’s old dome is beautiful. When I go to SF on BART I like to walk in and stand under it. I just know that sometime after this store opened in 1896 or perhaps after the rebuild in 1908 my mom or my SF ancestors stood in the same spot looking at the dome. I am pleased to see the Emporium sign near the food court is in the same font that that the Emporium and later Capwells used. The combo of the classic beauty of building and the modern stores is visually pleasing. On my next trip here I plan to take my camera, the mall offers a lot of opportunities for interesting photos.
Perhaps because I’m not a shopper I’m overwhelmed by the number of stores that fill the seven floors. There certainly must be something for everyone here, maybe even for me if I wandered into some of the stores. I might not be a shopper, however do like to eat. The food court is great although it is very busy and often hard to find a place to sit. The Emporium was a destination for generations of people in the Bay Area; I think the Westfield Centre is too.

This is a nice mall. It didn’t have every store I needed but a mall is a mall lol I love shopping. What woman doesn’t? The have this area of cool winding escalators.

Pros:
–What it lacks in width it makes up for in height. Nordstrom for days.
–If you’re looking for free wifi, go to the standard stores like Nordstrom and Starbucks.
–Definitely something for everyone here, especially if you are looking to escape the rain.
Cons:
–Pricey, touristy, and doesn’t isn’t that big in width.

This is an unbelievable place for this mall in San Francisco! Westfield San Francisco Centre has it all delivers incredible high-​end fashion clothes and shoes especially some remarkable food courts too! As I found the entrance to the mall by using the elevator nor the front door, the atmosphere is quite breathtaking just like visiting to a contemporary museum! The concept is much modern made filled with the additive Renaissance touch.
This mall has some remarkable stores like Bloomingdales, Zara, Nordstrom, Burberry, H&M, and many more, so you can find some incredible clothes and shoes easier to buy! There’s also have a movie theater just located at the very top of the mall, so you can watch the latest movies here for a short movie break too. Finally, the food court sections is outstanding! I can order some great meals like my favorite restaurant: Buckhorn Grill.
Parking at Westfield San Francisco Centre can be challenging. You can park it at the nearest surface street parking nor the nearest parking garage available. Otherwise, you can ride a bike, walk, or use public transportation easier without the hassles.
In the end, Westfield San Francisco Centre is the coolest modern mall right in the heart of San Francisco. A well, worthy visit! My rating: 4 solid stars.

Nice shopping center in the middle of the city, connected to transit and walkable from anywhere downtown. Lots of nice restaurants and food court options & upscale dept stores. There are a few random shops and stalls/​carts on the lower levels that remind me of b-​malls though.

Love this shopping center, especially around the holidays. You get a range of retail shops from $$ to $$$$$.

Westfield is a nice, fairly high end mall in the center of San Francisco. There is a nice food court in the basement. I like how it connects with the Powell Street station. It location makes it hard to avoid if you are in San Francisco.
There are a ton of shops and a department store, Bloomingdales.
Ok really it is just a mall. But its a nice one, on several floors. I don’t do a lot of shopping here because I am from Oregon and most of the shops are there (but without sales tax).

Westfield San Francisco is a fantastic mall because it has everything! It has your major department stores like Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s; it has trendy stores like Zara, Express, and Sephora; it has a major food court on the bottom floor, a café style restaurant on the top floor, and little food shops on every floor; it has designer shops like Michael Kors and Kate Spade, and it has an AMC theater at the very top of the mall.
I love coming here to buy truffles from Godiva Chocolatier, and shop at Sephora, Express, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale’s. This mall is definitely one of the most upscale malls in the Bay Area, but it is located in Union Square which is known for being upscale and pricey.
The Westfield San Francisco is always a location I stop at when I am in Union Square.

It may have been a bad decision to try to come to this popular mall in downtown SF on Black Friday, but as it turns out it really wasn’t that overcrowded an experience. There was none of that Walmart pushing and rudeness at these upscale stores. It’s not like Nordie’s was gonna have anything marked down 80% or anything like that. This may not be a mall I’d come to on a regular basis to do everyday shopping, mostly cause I live in the East Bay, but I’d want somewhere to park the car easily to load all my mall bounty into after shopping. No, this mall is more for the experience of being in SF during the holiday season and seeing many of the stores I’d like to browse but not actually buy anything. The food choices here are far above most of the Westfield malls, like the one out in Roseville, or even my main mall Stoneridge in Pleasanton. Yeah, those malls have big ass parking lots!
Here, I like the palatial feel of being inside and the grandeur of it all. The Nordstrom’s and Bloomie’s are nice and do carry a bigger selection of the higher end brands of clothing. The other clothing stores are all here too, anything from Nine West, to American Eagle to H&M. I love H&M, I remember them from back in Europe. I came here with my sis and Mom and we all seemed to be on the same wavelength on what we wanted to see. This was way better than coming with the BFs or Dad, who we may of had to just drop off at the Nordie’s coffee shop so they could surf the internet all day!
The food selection ranges from food court level to upscale restaurants in the «Under the Dome» area. MY China is Martin Yan’s sponsored restaurant, serving supposed high end Chinese food, but for high end prices. I wanted to see the hand pulled and thrown noodle demo, but it wasn’t going when we were there at the time. Other fancy eateries include a fancy pizza place and the Lark Creek Steakhouse. We skipped the food in the mall as I had a fellow Unilocaler’s suggestion for great Thai food nearby.
I had a great time wandering the mall and having it pretty all new to me, I supposed if I lived right nearby in SF… like I was really rich to do that, I might come here more, but it might not be that special of a trip. If you haven’t been here, do come just to see the sights and maybe dine in a restaurant. We didn’t actually buy anything, but the shopping sure was fun!

It can be overwhelming if you plan to spend your lunch time shopping there. My advice: just take a store at a time. I actually went to visit a PoPo but it was closed for renovations, so I will have to enjoy the free terrace that SF offers to the public until done. Meanwhile there is so much to shop and see at this beautiful and central mall. Very spacious and nice to watch restaurants area on the top floor and nice to know the history of the dome thanks to all the info displayed on the walls.

Nice multi-​story mall across from Powell St. cable car turnaround. Definitely on the upscale side. Spiral escalators similar to Ceasars in Vegas. Otherwise nothing really special about it.

So you want to shop at a mall in the center of San Francisco, but don’t know where to go? Look no further than Westfield San Francisco… Centre! Corny tagline aside, I definitely a fan of this place, not only because I used to work in the area but because it’s such a convenient getaway from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco life.
Two things that immediately caught my attention, and they can be found at opposite ends. Walking in from the Nordstrom side, you look up and you’re treated to a striking 7 levels of (correct me if I’m wrong) escalators. Coming in from the other entrance, there’s a dome at the top floor aptly named «The Dome. It is a striking feature, atypical of a mall layout.
Location is everything, and a neat tidbit is that at the Concourse level are exits that lead to the POWELL BART station. You can bypass the need to go out in the cold or rainy weather (because it can get that way) for the warm and toasty underground system. Not only is it a beautiful and comfortable indoor space, but accessibility is more than a plus in my book.
Lots of change constantly happening at the mall from month to month, so I won’t go into detail on the retail options available, but one thing is for sure — if you’re looking to tap into your inner (window)-shop-a-holic, then you’re sure to find yourself at the Centre.
Factoids:
Food court? Check.
Movie theater? Double Check!
Garage? Walking Distance from the mall.
Views of the San Francisco skyline? –Ish, but definitely attainable (enter hidden route to the rooftop).
Why the rating? Not to dog on the security, because I’m sure they do everything they can to put up with the ‘characters’ frequenting the mall, but I do give it one star less because it seems to me there’s a limit to what they can and can’t — protecting others from potential dangers that occur.

Not a bad place to shop! My family and I came here on a Saturday afternoon and it was busy. It’s located near Union Square and Tenderloin District so you should expect a lot of tourists coming in and out.
I like the spiraling escalators in the mall, I think it’s a cool concept. The food cart is a bit small compared to other places but they still had good food. There are a lot of shops as well. Nordstrom and Bloomingdales has a beautiful and spacious layout here. People are friendly too.
Transportation isn’t too bad because I find that it was easy to get here. The mall is right next to the Powell Station for BART and the Muni stops by as well.

Für San Francisco und die Innenstadt selbst ein grosses Einkaufszentrum. Natürlich nicht so riesig wie die Malls ausserhalb, doch auch hier habt ihr eine grosse Auswahl an amerikanischen Bekleidungsketten.
Ihr habt ihr neben dem typischen Food Court auch ein schickeres Restaurant bei Nordstorm. Dieses serviert wirklich leckeres Essen für angemessene Preise und man hat eine schöné Stadt-​Aussicht inklusive.
Free Wifi ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Nur die Karte finde ich etwas unübersichtlich, vor allem hängt nur eine in der Eingangshalle und natürlich stehen alle Touristen davor.
Zum Shoppen und zwischendurch stärken ist es aber auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlenswert! Vor allem, wenn es draussen kalt ist und windet. zieht euch aber nicht zu luftig an, die Klimaanlagen funktionieren in SF trotzdem weiter. :)

Enorme centro comercial en pleno centro de San Francisco. Aquí encontrarás todo tipo de tiendas, desde Michael Kors, Foot Looker, Benefit, Abercrombie, Adidas, Camper, Guess, H&M, Zara, y un montón de marcas que no tenemos en España (o que cuesta encontrar).
Me llamaron mucho la atención las escaleras mecánicas en forma circular (en España no las he visto nunca aún!).

Ahhhh Westfield. It’s like being back in Australia! And not in a good way. As a teenager I spent way too much time in shopping centres. After school, on the weekends, hanging out at the food court and then doing «laps» of the centre. I’m ashamed to admit this but hey, if Unilocal isn’t a form of therapy then I don’t know what is. Now days, I avoid shopping centres as much as possible.
I’ve been to this Westfield a few times and while sure, it’s big and has lots of shops, I really don’t like it all that much. The people on the pop-​up stalls are SUPER pushy and I even got grabbed on the arm by the GHD girl on the weekend. She’d used the charming intro line of «how do you normally style your hair?» (read: you look like a total mess today) and then grabbed my arm to try to style my hair even though I was clearly saying no.
The actual shops are pretty good (especially if you like being up-​sold on every purchase) and there’s lots on offer here. But when I’m travelling, shopping isn’t my preferred activity so I just get in and get the hell out again as quickly as possible.

I attended a startup & tech social yesterday at the W Hotel.
While there I got to see a vision of the Bespoke space happening at Westfied Center downtown.
This is a venture envisioned by the CEO of Westfield and the minds at Westfield Labs.
Bespoke is space for meeting, events and demonstrations focused on retail-​related technology.
If your startup wants to have any of the above, space can be rented by the day, week or month. Cool. Rent what you need and what you can afford.
I got to use an Oculus goggle to see what the space would look like in 360 degrees.
Impressive!

Le Mall du centre-​ville de San Francisco.
Pour nous, européens, la perspective de passer une journée dans ce genre d’endroits n’est pas forcément des plus exaltantes, mais tout américain qui se respecte aime flâner et tuer le temps au sein de ces temples de la conso.
Preuve en est ici: outré les incontournables enseignes de mode (Abercrombie et son petit frère Hollister, American Eagle Outtfiter…), Westfield propose un grand «food hall» dans lequel vous aurez l’embarras du choix pour manger à tout heure asiatique, américain, latino…
A voir.

Was waeren die USA ohne Malls? Um einen Gang in né Mall kommt man nicht umher, und wer will das schon? Da das Wetter in San Francisco echt schlagartig wechseln kann und es gern auch mal einen ganzen Tag ununterbrochen durchregnet, kann einem das Westfield schonmal den Tag versuessen. Hier gibt’s alle großen Marken, sowohl was Essen, Accessoires und Kleidung angeht, Beauty-​Boötes, Kosmetik, eben alles, was man sich vorstellen kann. Meine ersten Stopps sind natürlich immerhin Läden, die es in Deutschland nicht gibt, aber das kostenlose Wi-​fi war auch schon oft hilfreich, ebenso wie die Toiletten.

Je né viens que pour la partie «food court» situé au sous-​sol du centre commercial
choix nombreux de cuisine en passant par des coréens, chinois, soupes, mexicains, burgers… en tout cas il y en a pour tous le goûts et surtout pour pas très cher! idéal pour des petits creux ou un faim de loup entre les séances de shopping, visite et de ciné dans le coin.
