Crossroads Shopping Center

A perfect shopping location in the area. It has many shopping options and most likely will have all those that you are looking for.
Right from the grocery, you have gift shops, apparel shopping, sporting needs, home needs, arts and crafts and also many dining options.
Overall, the best place either for a quick shopping or for a shopping at leisure.

I got arrested AGAIN in this shopping center’s parking lot. But I wasnt in the CROSSROADS MALL!!! I am sorry Bellevue courts, I thought I could purchase a Kombucha at the 24 hr supermarket NEXT TO THE CROSSROADS MALL before I worked at 5:30 am. I seriously DID NOT KNOW. 12 days @ Score. Good times giving heroin addicts massages because they cramp up when they detox.

I enjoy shopping at Crossroads. There are many food options and they just upgraded the dining area which is more appealing.
I wish they had a few more clothing options but all in all its a good place to walk around and shop.

This mall is just simply okay. It has a good food court even though I would red flag a few places like ai sushi. It feels really disorganized and It feels like it has an identity crisis. They have everything from an old navy to multiple craft stores to a barber shop? They have a few cool gimmicks like uncles and the comic store next door but other then that I feel like they’re just trying to cram this mall with whatever they can. I personally come for Daiso and the petco. While occasionally grabbing a thing or two from the QFC. Once again this place is okay but the only thing that is really worth dropping by is the food court! Especially if you went to Bellevue square mall nearby and were disappointed by the lack of a food court. They also have a small stage in the center of the mall and I have seen plenty of different bands play. Please drop by and make your own decisions, don’t be surprised if you find a few hidden gems among the stores here!

Since I moved to Seattle I have always liked this place. Why two stars? This summer I came I bought coffee from Starbucks and sat on a table in the middle. I noticed a gentleman sleeping on the couch. He was sitting and it seemed he ate because he had a to go box next to him. He had a bag like a computer bag. Anyway after 30 mins or so the security guards (two young ladies) are touching his foot with their foot to wake him up. I felt sad for him because I think they should have handled it differently and not this way.

This review is for the treatment I’ve received from mall management, particularly from Sue Popma (
) regarding an offensive flag they currently have prominently displayed in their food court. I first spotted this flag three weeks ago and immediately contacted the management team to help educate them on the historical significance of the flag. After ten days with no response, I reached out again and finally got a response. They told me they were not «cultural experts» and didn’t know the history of the flag. This is understandable but from there they did not even attempt to make amends or open a dialogue about changing the flag. They have since ignored my further attempts to discuss this situation.
I have been shopping at Crossroads Mall for over 25 years but I will not be returning until they make the change.

I love this mall! It’s walking distance to my house, which only adds to the love. I think it generally has a good selection of stores, a great selection of food (both in the food court and around the perimeter of the mall), and the performances they put on on specific days of the week and Saturdays makes for cheap local entertainment. They do game days as well, which I’d like to get in on at some point.
My favorite places in this mall are the library, QFC, Old Navy, Jo-​Ann Fabrics, and Dress Barn. My kids love Uncle’s Games, Party City, and Michael’s. We all love the movie theater right there, Petco, and Creatively Yours for the occasional gift-​making (albeit a little pricey). Although we don’t go often, I like having Starbucks, Half Price Books, Bed, Bath & Beyond, and Daiso Japan there.
One black mark for me was the disappearance of Famous Footwear. I’m not happy that it left and Ulta came in its place. I wish something other than GNC were coming as well. My kids are older, so WiggleWorks and the toy store aren’t great uses of space for us, and we never go in Pier One Imports, but it does add to the family environment to have those places there. Overall, we are really happy with this mall and all it has to offer! I’d love a DSW or Famous Footwear back though ;)

I honestly wasn’t sure whether I wanted to check this place out, but after finding out they had a Daiso, I decided that I had to go. The Daiso here is bigger than the one downtown and the one in Chinatown. I wish I was able to browse the area a little more. First thing I noticed was how big the food court was. The mall is a little odd in that it looks a little run down in some parts, and really high tech in others. I do enjoy the stores offered in this mall. Passing by the Wiggleworks area made me wish I was a kid again so that I could play on the colorful structures. It was definitely an eye catcher! I would like to return again one day to see all of the stores, as I did not even get a chance to browse the half price books store.

Cool Mall with lots of fun kids stores. Huge food court too.

Love this mall for what it is. Low key, casual, easy to get to. I can swing by the library, check out Uncles Games, stop for groceries, half price books and a meal, and with good parking and no high pretentious people. Yup!

The first time I came to this mall I did wonder what exactly was going on, had I entered some kind of time warp. Firstly it seemed there was only a few stores inside with an enormous food court and I was underwhelmed.
However, the second and subsequent times I have visited I have really appreciated the place.
Yes the food court is enormous and has many different cuisines but that in my eyes is a bonus.
The things which draw me to this place time and time again are:
— the fact that there is an Old Navy, Joann’s, Michael’s, Sally, half price books, Bed bath and beyond and party city not to forget Daiso Japan, qfc and Barnes and Noble in close proximity of each other.
— the fact that there are stores inside and outside of the mall.
— a movie theater and climbing center.
— the 25c rides for kids, the toy shop, children’s haircuts and of course wiggle works which my daughter was not keen on.
— a library in the mall.
What is not to love about this place?
Yes it is old and could do with some upgrades however, part of the charm and appeal of the place is that it is slightly old fashioned.
There does seem to be a few empty stores hence my 4 star review. However in my eyes it is closer to a 4.5.

If you want something low-​key/​down-​to-​earth then stop by this mall. This mall has a proper ethnic food court, budget friendly stores, grocery store, library, and the dept of motor vehicles to renew you car tabs. This is a very, very, very random mall.

I personally love this place. People, who complain this mall is ghetto or this place isn’t Bellevue Square (or should I refer to it as «Bellevue Collection» now?) Or Bravern, are missing the point or are at this mall for the wrong reasons.
IMO, this mall is very good at attracting its targeted audience and it keeps them coming back. I am not really their targeted audience but I have so many memories here from the early 90s and I think I «get it.» I used to hang out here with friends near the food court, had my first movie date with my first girlfriend at the theater (Contact with Jolie Foster in it), and now I come here to entertain my kids at Wiggleworks and Crossroads Toy store. This mall has gotten some upgrade over the years but it is pretty the same as it used to be. Yet it somehow enabled certain businesses that typically would no longer survive in other places to survive at this mall! For example, they still have a comic book store and a game/​magic card/​90s toys store here and these stores seem to do very well. All the kids hanging out at these stores even look like my friends from the early 90s (they dress and act like them I swear!!!). They play chess and magic cards even to this date. I wonder where these kids come from… time machine from the past perhaps.
This mall also has a King County Library (although small) and my kids love it here.
IMHO, this mall serves its intended purpose and I keep coming and spending my money here mostly for nostalgic reasons.
You know what will be super cool at this mall? A 90’s coin-​op video arcade. Right in the middle of the mall. Boom. Please make this happen.

Love the diversity of this place. It’s got a bit of everything for everyone. Has this unique old school vibe that’s hard to find in today’s mega corporate shopping malls. From the QFC at one end, to the giant chess board, the people playing Magic cards and chess, the small performance stage that features local bands and kid’s dance groups, to the food court that serves OK food, and the diversity of people that you find here, it’s incredible. Let’s not also forget the movie theater and great ramen shop on the outskirts of the mall. I hope they never change this place as it is a true cultural gem in the heart of NE Bellevue.

The food court is the best part of this shopping mall — there are so many different types of food! It was my family’s favorite place to have dinner since we could all have something different but still sit together.
They’ve spruced up the mall quite a bit in the last few years, including updated décor and adding more shops and boutiques along the outside of the mall. Half price books is a staple, and the French Bakery is a favorite.

Although i don’t stop by crossroads daily, i know alot of people who do! They love it here and so do i! I’ve lived in the area all my life and im always happy when i come here for lunch. We got the movie theaters, the food court, the clothing store, the book stores, uncles games, the comic store, King County Library and QFC. Not to mention the big chess board and tables for tabletop games. (Excluding the record store and party city cause i DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM). This is a lively place! I see seniors, kids and young adults walking around the mall. Back in middle school, i played music with my school band at crossroads. People enjoy the music up here! This mall is mainly known for the food court so don’t compare it to Bell Square. This mall is a community mall where you will see familiar faces and families. We also got the community center and the park behind the mall and a golf course. Oh almost forgot, there’s a starbucks for those addicts who need their coffee. There’s many different things to do here but most of the people come for the food. I recommend Bamboo Wok! Great job guys! Love your food. The pizza joint is also a favorite of mine although the people behind the counter are not friendly. The food is good however. The only place i dont recommend is «Ai sushi». They gave me and my husband bad sushi and we were sick for 4 days and customer service was crap.
So overall, crossroads is a fun place to have meet ups, catch a movie and shop for kids/​families. The atmosphere is nice, the food is good and i bet you will have a good time! :)

First time here. Did some Christmas shopping and everyone was very nice considering the number of people and the traffic. Mall is big and clean with a large selection of stores to shop from.
We even stopped by the Tesla shop so I can show my nieces and nephews how awesome the car is. They each took turns sitting in the car seats in the back and sat in the front seat. They loved it. Too bad my phone was dead otherwise I’d taken photos!
Over all great place to shop.

Many people in Bellevue prefer the upscale Bellevue Square to Crossroads, but I’ve grown very find of this mall’s community feel.
It’s much smaller, with a little less variety, but it’s much less mobbed and had more offbeat stores like a ceramics works go and half price books. These are great for holiday shopping!
And it’s truly a destination, with a music stage, library, DOL, gym, theater, health clinic, craft stores, and community room. It’s actually way more fun to be there and people watch than other malls.
They also have the best food court in the state — hands down. It’s bigger than southcenter, with far more variety: from Starbucks to Pirogues, to grocery stores and bakeries… It’s awesome.
Plus, it tends to be less expensive and thy don’t only have clothes and jewelry.
The parking lot wraps all the way around the mall so even at Christmas you still can get a decent spot.

When I was much younger, along with my brother, Crossroads was the perfect destination for my parents to take us. Bookstore as we were all avid readers? Check. Random stores to wander through? Yup? About 15 different food options for each of their disagreeable children to pick their own? Yup!
And now, every time I come home, somehow we end up at Crossroads. Usually because a trip to Half Price Books is much needed (and HPB, please come to Oregon and show Powell’s how to price used books!). The HPB is always smooshed to the gills with books, and I rarely walk out without 2 – 3 books. This holiday trip alone yielded 2 trips and…7 books. Oy.
The food court is huge with a huge spread of options. There’s many food places that have stuck around since I was in middle school, which speaks to their quality — and some various newcomers that seem to rotate in and out. There’s pasta (Ziti Pasta, delicious penne al pompardo), O’Char Thai (try the red curry), Papaya (Vietnamese, try the phở!), Tanpopo (Japanese, go for yakisoba), Papazzi Pizza (great deals, good pizza), Crossroads Café (breakfast all day!). And those are just the ones I’ve tried. There’s sushi, a fish place, India, soup place, Hawaiian grill & Greek. Can you see why my parents literally gave us money and had us choose our damn selves?
Also nice about the food court, it’s huge & well kept up cleanliness wise. You’re supposed to bus your own table but there’ s a ton of workers who swoop in and clean up after the… less inclined to follow polite etiquette peeps. There’s also chess games & such near the grocery store entrance.
The smaller stores have always changed throughout the year but the big stores — Jo-​Ann Fabrics, Bed Bath & Beyond, Old Navy & Pier 1 are stalwarts. As of this review, there’s a record store, Dress Barn, Famous Footwear, Hallmark, a child’s play space thing (which makes me UBER jealous not to be a kid right now) and a hair salon. A King Country library outlet thing & a comic store. Also a spa place & new Brow type bar. And QFC rounds out the end. PHEW.
The layout is extremely open and parking is rarely a problem. There’s also a lot of close by stores and a movie theater within walking distance.
This is literally the only mall that 54 minutes in I don’t feel like tackling somebody or ripping my hair out. I heart Crossroads!

As far as malls go, this place does the job. You have everything from the standard food court options to a QFC, Barnes and Noble, and lots of other small-​scale stores and restaurants. You will not find any of the major anchor stores like Target or Macy’s making this a more intimate and localized shopping experience as opposed to places like Bellevue Square or Redmond Town Center.
They also have a seasonal outdoor market which is open on Tuesdays and offers a wide variety of locally produced products from fruits and veggies to crafts and other services. There’s also a movie theater for your entertainment needs and they often hold live music events in the food court area. They even have a giant chess game on the floor of the food court which is always in play and always draws a bit of a crowd.
