Our Shopping Expert Says:
A mall that has it all? This mall comes pretty close! The Shops at Tanforan is the San Francisco Peninsula area's most exciting mall. Recently remodeled, this lovely mall has so much to offer from a two floor food court, lots of children's activities, great anchors (Sears, JCPenney, and Target) and of course amazing shopping (over 110 stores)! Stop by the mall on Tuesday afternoon for power hour shopping where you'll get special discounts at participating stores—sounds like fun to me!
Need to buy a gift for a friend? You are in the right place. The Shops at Tanforan has numerous cute gift shops like Blue Heaven Gift Shop, Hallmark, Spencer Gifts and Things Remembered. You can get clothes for your entire family here—you won't have to shop anywhere else but at the Shops at Tanforan. There's Old Navy, American Eagle, G by Guess, Nine West, Foot Locker, Victoria's Secret and more. If you have the kids with you take a break over at the kiddie rides where they will have a blast. More fun is no problem here as you can literally hop over to the Tanforan Park Soft Play area—it's the only children's soft play area on the Peninsula with spongy carpet and safely enclosed so enjoy it while you are here! Stop by Starbucks and grab a quick coffee to drink while the kids play. You can pop into Target after you play for some convenient shopping—they even have an escalator for your shopping carts!
A cool dining experience is what you'll get at The Shops at Tanforan. Head over to the two level food court where you can choose from over 20 eateries representing just about every cuisine out there! Let your palate lead you to Aloha Island barbeque, BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse, Green Salsa Fresh Mexican Grill, Saigon Cuisine, Sarku Japan or The Grape Leaf Mediterranean Cuisine. For dessert, get some goodies at Anderson Bakery, Cold Stone Creamery, Monster Desserts, Scoopful Ice Cream & Candies and more. The Shops at Tanforan is the place to be if you're hungry!
The Shops at Tanforan are just a quick 15 minute drive from San Francisco (about 10 miles south). Take I-380 and exit north on El Camino Rd. The mall will be on your right. Remember these directions—you'll be coming back to this mall when you're in town again!
