Cherry Creek North

You can spot the Cherry Creek North shops even by driving in the heavy traffic next to it. It’s so beautiful and eye-​grabbing that it makes this part of Denver look elegant, empowered and overall targeted for the affluence. The only problem is at a left turn at the light, it requires you to make a U-​turn, and it may cause a collision. This is the hardest way to get to that side of Cherry Creek North. The shops come with so much on its plate and ready to serve its every consumer with whatever it may want to throw at him. There’s California Pizza Kitchen, Urban Outfitters, a furniture outlet, beautiful walk on pathways and patios for all people to stroll through and valet parking too. This is my most chosen and favorite shopping center and it’s known for that because I pass at least two other different malls to get to this side of town, which is about 30 minutes or more (mostly half an hour on my good days!!) to get to the Cherry Creek North, pass it, and then find the additional parking for the actual mall-​like stores inside. All these parts are filled with amazing restaurants, shops, walkways, parking, bike parking too, and surprisingly more. It has overall the best service from people too. It’s a fancy mall and I couldn’t ask for more or less. It’s perfect and it shall stay perfect.

Talk about a walkers paradise! Cherry Creek North has literally everything you want all within a few blocks! Tons of great restaurants, wine bars, shopping and neat stores. And Cherry Creek North is CLEAN… what a bonus! The area seems very safe, and there are a ton of ways to stay busy out here. Also, I have never seen so many coffee shops in my life… they are everywhere out here! Definitely the Premier area of Denver, and a fun spot to get all your shopping done, or grab food and drinks with friends

This was not my first visit to North… but in all likelihood my last… Arrogant and small are the adjectives that come to mind… A misunderstanding with payment led to a very poor response on the part of our server and a slightly less than condescending attitude on the part of the manager on duty. Everyone at the table has been or is involved in the service industry and NONE of us would have behaved in this manner had the tables been turned. SHAME on you NORTH…

I’ve warmed up to Cherry Creek North, it was not love at first sight but it’s now an everlasting love.
Cherry Creek North offers:
–A large pedestrian walking mall
–Boutique Shopping
–Home furniture Shopping
–Restaurants with stellar outdoor patios for those nice days
–The best Starbucks outdoor patio in Denver (the one on 2^nd)
–Some of the worst parking in Denver (I’ve earned enough parking tickets for a lifetime)
–Cherry Creek Annual Arts Festival
–Newly constructed apartments/condo’s bringing the masses to the Creek
You can easily take the afternoon and stroll through the mall and enjoy a cup of coffee, take in some shopping, enjoy some lunch on a patio and take in the Denver sun. Some of my favorites include Harmon’s, Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, Cherry Creek Grill, Patxi’s, and So Perfect Eats.
Keep an eye on parking especially if you park at a meter, two hour limitations are a known evil and the parking meter people are on it within seconds upon expiration. If you think you found street parking with no meter, check for the permit parking only signs or you will pay the price. If you’re going to spend more than two hours in the area I highly recommend choosing a parking garage instead of street parking. Just trying to save you a ticket or two (thank me later).
Cherry Creek North has a lot to offer and with all the new construction, only more businesses and restaurants will be opening. Come enjoy the changes to one of nicest neighborhood in Denver, maybe I’ll see you at Starbucks.

The premier living, shopping, and dining area in Denver. However, you may never get to walk around it. Parking is not only a nightmare but the lack of parking is sanctioned by both the city officials and the developers. Enjoy if you are one of the few that can find a parking spot reasonably close to your destination.

This is a great shopping and eating district. I love that you can either walk or ride your bike from store to store. The variety of cute little boutiques and high end art galleries makes this a very special place.
The amount of amazing restaurants located here is awesome. It is a place my husband and I visit regularly. Every year we help sponsor the Grapes and Galleries event located in Cherry Creek North. This event helps raise money for the Home Builders Foundation. We support this foundation that helps remodel houses for handicapped individuals. I love that Cherry Creek helps this event become one of the best events all year. It also allows everyone to see what new little boutiques are located here.
Cherry Creek North is truly a gem hidden in our beautiful downtown Denver.

Nice outdoor shopping center. Love that it has many restaurants and most of them, just like the stores, are not big name stores you find everywhere you go. CCN is nice place to walk around when the weather is gorgeous. Plenty of people come to CCN but it’s never as crazy and colorful as the 16^th St Mall.

I really do love Cherry Creek North when it’s not crowded or under construction. It is a great eclectic mix of local shops mixed with national chain stores and restaurants. The parking situation is trying, though there is a lot off of Milwaukee where you can pay an exorbitant fee not to deal with circling around and trying to find a meter. Also, be sure to pay your meter! I always max out the machine to be safe, since the meter maids here are vultures and will ticket you if you are literally unlocking your car while the meter expires. Yep, it happened to me once. I highly advise walking, if possible.
My favorite spots in CCN are True Foods for lunch or dinner-​truthfully, I think they have the best drinks. The artichokes at Hillstone and Cherry Creek Grill are worth the wait. The best mom and pop soup salad and sandwich shop is So Perfect Eats-​upstairs on Fillmore. Two fun, artsy shops are Show of Hands and the Artisan Center. If you are in the mood for a burger be sure to hit up the Cherry Cricket, They also have really good Bloody Mary’s. Looking for a great bra shop? SOL on Detroit is the bomb! Those girls will hook you up no matter what your size. There are plenty of other great spots to check out and an art festival that draws big crowds during the summer.
I would like to finish by asking people to drive slowly and be respectful of pedestrians in this neighborhood. Don’t expect to get anywhere quickly and know that there are two schools within 1 block. Please help keep our neighborhood children safe.

Great place for shopping in Denver. Such a beautiful neighborhood with a nice array of restaurants and shops. Parking can be difficult but there are a lot of metered spots to shift through. Cherry Creek North hosts a lot of higher end retailers and trendy eateries. Nice place to walk around to kill time and is conveniently located next to the mall.

As far a pretty, easy to navigate out door areas, this one is very pretty and very nice.
It’s cherry creek, what else would you expect!
Tons of dining options, over priced shopping, and oh the people watching!
Parking can be tough, and i’m definitely not sharing my tricks!
Go early weekend mornings and enjoy the quiet!

Oh how I love this neighborhood. Well I even loved it more when parking was free. It is not even the money just the idea. I don’t shop there as often as I did but when I do I certainly enjoy myself. Just window shopping and watching the people and dogs is fun.
The sidewalk sale is something I try not to miss. Nice expensive product on sale. It did seem items were more expensive this time around but I did pick up a few things that I am very happy with for my upcoming travels.
I love boutiques because what I find there I can’t always find in the department stores. While I have cut down my shopping sprees I still like to shop. We all have our vices. Food and shopping seem to be mine.

One of the best ped-​malls in the city (16^th St Mall is automatically disqualified b/​c of the tourists), and some unique shops and restaurants. My favorite spot is Hapa.
Parking is pretty bad — expect to walk a few blocks from the north. The development board should be praised here though, it’s always very clean, there aren’t any broken sidewalks, dying trees or really anything out of order. The shops are expensive and the restaurants a bit overpriced but it’s more about walking around, people watching and living the good life for a couple of hours.

This is one of my all time favorite shopping areas. It is different from downtown shopping such as in NYC or LA, since the shopping there is super crowded and condensed with stores. This shopping area did not have that many stores, but it did have stores that I like and that were brand name. They were spaced out nicely and it was pleasant to walk around in the area. My boyfriend and I went to lululemon, kate spade, hermes, starbucks, and several others around the area. We stumbled upon a nice wine shop that had free wine tasting which was really fun. This area seems to also have a lot of cool and nice restaurants that I definitely want to check out next time I am in the area. It is nice that the actual mall is across the street, since there are more stores there, but this outdoor section is good for warmer days. I can’t wait to come here again!

This shopping district is one of my favorite places in the city. It’s completely accessible by bike, it’s totally walkable, and it’s filled with independent shops and restaurants. Parking can sometimes be a hassle but I’ve managed to get lucky more than a few times. I must say that I’m glad they decided to ditch the old parking ticket machine system in favor of the convenience of meters.
Cherry Creek North hosts several fun events throughout the year. Coming up here pretty soon is the annual Cherry Creek Sneak, always occurring on the last Sunday in April. Runners participate in 10-​mile, 5-​mile, and 5k races, among others, and the proceeds benefit Food Bank of the Rockies.
CCN is also the location of the annual Cherry Creek Arts Festival, which has been held every summer since 1991 during the July 4^th holiday weekend. It’s always a fun time and a chance to see many different kinds of art from all over the country.
And, for the past 40+ years, the midsummer Cherry Creek North Annual Sidewalk Sale brings forth the best deals you’ll see in CCN all year. Prices from tons of businesses in the district are slashed on clothing, jewelry, art, accessories, home furnishings, etc. It’s the perfect time to stroll around on a delightful Denver day and snag some bargains.

A nice mix of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants in the «Beverly Hills of Denver.»
CCN provides a nice alternative to visiting the mall across the street, especially when the weather is nice. Nice spots to hang and people watch and a few new primo patios as well.
Several new restaurants have popped up over the last year and with all of the residential and mixed use projects in the works it seems that CCN will be in a state of change for the next couple years.
N.B.: Given that this is a ‘high-​end’ shopping district they surprisingly do a miserable job (read: they don’t do it at all) of keeping the streets clean during the snow. They really need to fix this as it does deter people from visiting.

Nice shops. Great neighborhood for walking and people watching. Parking is problematic (limited and expensive). It seems that every time they landscape to make things more attractive, they shave a few parking spots from the total sum.

I give Cherry Creek North an «A-​OK» rating really based on my shopping preferences alone. CCN is not really a shopping center as opposed to a collection of stores in a neighborhood making up a several block radius… so not really a mall. Across the street is Cherry Creek Mall. Both places are high end shops and while they are trying to go for diverse in your shopping options it is more like «chic eclectic». Personally I like the stores along Broadway. I think I am getting the true meaning of eclectic there.
Even though I do not go to this shopping area often there are some notable draws there. They have a Whole Foods there, Tazu (A sushi place), Wizards Chest (A costume shop) and Ten Thousand Villages (Specializes in imports from villages around the world, a non-​profit).
In the past I was drawn to Bolder Dash (A mens clothing store), a great gelato place and Indigo (a restaurant). I was sad to see these places went out of business except for Indigo; the management staff went from table to table trying to be courteous but were actually food Nazis in disguise.

Having grown up right next to Cherry Creek North, when I came back in to town I was happy to see that it’s still so nice. It’s still such a great place to take a stroll, do some shopping and grab a bite to eat. The parking is a bit tricky, but I’ve always found a spot somewhere on the street.

This area is awesome!!! Spent all day today shopping and eating with my wife. The flowers and landscaping are beautiful for a place in the middle of the City. We will be back.

This place rocks! Loved coming here… except for the fact that Mr. Public Street Parking Enforcement Guy wanted to give me a ticket for not having my license plate on the front of my car.
Bull Donkey I say! Great place to go for a two hour stroll, grab some overprices crepes and gelato and heckle people for overspending on merchandize and services that can be had at a vastly cheaper price elsewhere in town.
Note: I don’t actually spend money at these places… just find the atmosphere cool during a warm spring weekend.
