El Paseo Shopping District

Extra Space is exactly what I needed during my move. Ariana helped make everything easy and eliminated so much stress. This place is 10/10 recommend to anyone needing somewhere so store their things. I felt like my belongings were in a safe place! Thank you Extra Space!

This is a beautiful outside mall with shopping and eateries. Love even just walking around here and up and down El Paseo. Great scenery, food, and shopping businesses. It is also very pretty at night to walk around when everything is lit up. Would recommend checking this area out if you have not been. Great location!

Very Beautiful, Awesome Food, Lots of Shops & Fun!!! GO EARLY & BEAT THE HEAT.

This was Tommy Bahama's. Great food again. They were a bit to short staffed for about 45 minutes, but our server was still great and we didn't notice. I had the BEST drink. It's called Miss Sunshine. I could only have one because I wish I wasn't driving I would have had more...so yummy. My husband had the margarita which he really liked. For dinner, we started with the lobster bisque that we split-yummy. I had the spaghetti squash bowl, very good and my husband had the Cajun pasta and added shrimp. Both portions very big so we had leftovers.

El Paseo Shopping District,located in scenic and popular Palm Desert,California is a great day or night destination trip for great outdoor activities,shopping,dining,gallery visits and sightseeing! Located about 1-2 hours from Orange and LA Counties so you can definitely make this a nice day trip and you won't be disappointed! They have great places to grab breakfast,lunch and dinner as well drinks and coffee specialty shops.

I mean, El Paseo shopping district! What more can I say excellent place to dine and fantastic shopping! And then of course everything in between!

Beautifully landscaped, luxury goods outdoor mall. Amazing coffee from the Italian cafe.

Beautiful looking luxury shopping in the heart of Coachella Valley. LV, Tiffany's, and Gucci, just to name a few.

The El Paseo Shopping District offers high-end designer stores and boutiques, fine jewelers, art galleries, and a diverse selection of upscale to casual dining options in this 9-block area in Palm Desert. Manicured & meticulously planted raised median on El Paseo displays a multitude of outdoor artworks as one strolls or drives along the "Rodeo Drive of the Dessert". There are free yellow courtesy carts which operates seasonally from mid-October through May to shuttle people along El Paseo. Street parking can be difficult at times, however there are two parking structures at The Gardens on El Paseo and at El Paseo Village. Also, many storefronts have some parking behind them.

High end and also cute boutiques the absolute best destination in the desert for shopping. We made a day of it got so many special cute teams. The LV here is awesome and has a very good assortment for a non major city LV. So nice to be able to shop OUTSIDE

El Paseo feels like that one friend who's stylish but never makes you feel underdressed. Palm trees, pretty shops, art galleries you wander into on a whim, and restaurants that somehow pull you in even when you swear you're not hungry. It's polished but easygoing, made for strolling, people-watching, and taking your time. Desert sunshine, good food, and no rush to be anywhere else.

I love this whole area - full of some of the best shops and it's nice to stroll around here. It had been a while since I had visited and I'm Glad I was able to go back and shop again. Love the selection and proximity to everything around.

One of my absolute favorite places to shop. Many high end stores are located on this street. You wont find any bargain stores here When you shop here it is an experience. High quality items everywhere. And you wont go hungty. Many fine eateries are found up and down this street. Just a great place for shopping and eating in the desert.

I don't know if I came on an off day (though it was a Saturday afternoon) but most shops and galleries were closed which was disappointing. We ate at Porto Via which was great and there were some other restaurants as well but was hoping to do some shopping. I will say the White House Black Market was great and had a good selection with great service. There were also a couple cool antique stores that we browsed but was hoping to see more.

This is a really beautiful area with so, so many shops, restaurants, beauty places, art galleries, and just about everything you can think of. They even have a small outdoor mall called The Gardens. This place reminds me of Rodeo Drive, which is high praise. We went there on Thanksgiving actually and I thought it was like two blocks, but it's more like 6 blocks with shops on both sides. They have a nice pretty middle section with statues and designs. They have a Tommy Bahama's and a central Starbucks as well as a Pandora and Sephora. Lots of jewelers and miscellaneous places to check out. I was very impressed by this street. Look forward to coming back when more places are open.

Came here to spend a couple of hours checking out the regularly priced shops such as lululemon, Athleta and let's not forget the uber expensive shops. Pictured are avant-garde items from one of the many art galleries on this Blvd. Starbucks and CA Pizza Kitchen are also on this main blvd. Recommend coming here to browse, shop or buy.

Fabulous shopping center! Great restaurants, great stores and a complimentary shuttle if you are tired of walking! Who needs Rodeo Drive?!

Fancy shopping district in Palm Dessert. I spent a morning walking the sidewalks here and enjoyed the few sculptures throughout, window shopping (it was earlier in the day and most stores were closed) and the nice median lined with Palm Trees. There were a few galleries, restaurants and coffee shops sprinkled in to the high end retail. While, I myself, couldn't see myself shopping here, it makes a great place for a morning stroll and some light people watching.

Wished I could have spent way more time shopping there. Ran out of money LOL The shops were so much fun to go into and so much fun to find fabulous things to buy. Worth every minute of it!

Cute outdoor shopping area, but it's very hot during summer. They don't have much shade or the water sprinkler thing to help the shoppers to cool down. Shop selections are not that great...they have about 4 high end stores, LV, Gucci, BV and Tiffany and others are just smaller or independent stores. Parking is free and it's located at a structure.

Lots of shopping, art galleries, restaurants, fun events! Stagecoach's opening parade with the Budweiser Clydesdales, food festivals, concerts, etc. Our faves are Porta Via for cocktails. Mama Gina's for all night happy hour. Larkspur Grill for live music and food! El Paseo hotel is just fun to walk around and see all the art and the restored air stream!

For my review #499, I would like it to land here at El Paseo Shopping District in the 'City of Palm Desert,' CA. Which is only about 20min of a drive away from Palm Springs, CA. Aside from Desert Hills Premium Outlets, if you decide to travel to Palm Springs, CA. area, you should definitely stop by the 'El Paseo Shopping District.' I would consider this District a Tourist attraction as well. Stores such as 'Saks Fifth Avenue,' and 'Brooks Brothers,' existed here in El Paseo Shopping District. There were plenty more, but I needed to scroll down my camera roll to bring memories back. This is another long overdue review. This is one of the more beautifully designed shopping Districts in town and definitely offered free parking. I recalled that I was last here prior to the Pandemic. This is another long overdue review. This is a very convenient District to shop at due to plenty of free parking. It requires some walking if you want to stop and take lots of selfies, but definitely worth a trip here if you are already at Palm Springs, CA.

High end shopping, beautiful and clean, lots of parking. Lots of restaurants! Almost like the Rodeo drive of PS

The "El Paseo Cruise Night and Car Show" was fantastic time for car owners,car enthusiasts and the community alike! The event took place at The Gardens On El Paseo Shopping Center in beautiful Palm Desert,California.The cars started rolling in around 2 P.M. and there was a fantastic,eclectic gathering of over 100 cars-exotics,vintage,hot rods,classics,lowriders ,muscle cars and trucks! Car owners,enthusiasts and visitors were enjoying great fellowship and car talk! Then at around 4 P.M. the cars hit the streets for a great cruise on the boulevard.. When you go you can park on the second level where the cars are at and then walk downstairs to see the cruise- great photo ops here and throughout the The Gardens On El Paseo Shopping and Dining Center. The El Paseo Gardens There are numerous places to grab a bite to eat to make it a nice dinner night too! We had a great experience at The Gardens On El Paseo Cruise Night! . . . . #elpaseocruisenight #elpaseogardens #thegardensonelpaseo #carcruise #carshow #palmdesert #ilovecars #godisgood #seetheusa #alfaromeo #chevrolet #dodge #ferrari #ford #mopar #corvette #lotus #exoticcars #photografxworldwide #classiccars #hotrods #musclecars#carphotography #palmdesertcalifornia #desertlife #carlife #dinnernight #family #sachsfifthavenue #iloveshopping

Billed as the Rodeo Drive of the Desert, there are many high end stores here, for certain. At the holidays, there are lights galore, which make driving or walking through at night a feast for the eyes. We did drive by the heart of the shopping district last night and oohed and aahed at several giant trees of lights, plus the center divide trees wrapped in even more sparkling lights. Even our 14 year old nephew thought it was pretty cool, and he can be hard to impress. I always enjoy when merchants create festive window displays, and there were many shiny, colorful designs to brighten the scene. It's beginning to look like the holiday season is in full swing in Palm Desert.

What a delightful day enjoying a wonderful collection of stores and restaurants. I love the art galleries that are sprinkled in between the shops. Stores were friendly and welcoming. Definitely felt the resort vibe, but it was fun to join the wealthy crowd for a few hours. Even the cars parked along the street felt a little like a fancy car show.

Kinda disappointing, came on Sunday and it seemed like everything was closed and the street was so quiet with not many people walking or shopping. Although the area is well kept and neat with some beautiful signs of El Paseo, it's just a little too quiet and not much.

This is a great place to shop. All of the restaurants and stores are clean in both the interior as well as exterior and they put on great events that bring visitors together including trick or treat where 95 pct of stores participated. Also although its not a mall in the traditional sense it felt like a strip mall in the way that you can visit most of the stores without having to cross the large parking. There is definitely a focus on aesthetics as well as convenience with decent sized fountains and ample seating on benches and in front of restaurants that don't feel restricted to that specific restaurant the tables are in front of. Additionally there are beautiful views of the mountains as you walk around - shopping with a view :-)

Really enjoy walking the shopping district. So many varieties of shopping experiences to enjoy. The Garden is great for shopping and walking.

I love this road, and it's not about the really cool stores. They are everywhere, but there are a bunch. Are you looking for a new Tesla? They've got it. Do you need some jeans? Lucky Brand is on the road. Do you want a nice new silk Hawaiian shirt? Tommy Bahama is nearby. Do you like to eat? They've got Mexican food, a diner, Starbucks, a seafood restaurant (Pacifica), and a host of other choices. These are all great, but for me, it's all about the art. You've probably got about 10 different art galleries, and they all had something that I enjoyed viewing. They were all different, as they all seemed to have a unique focus. El Paseo is a great place for a number of reasons, and I'll be back next time I'm in town.

Like nice cars? Like to people watch? Like to walk? El Paseo is a great place for all three. While here, my husband spotted a Shelby Mustang, a Snake something or other, and some other apparently lovely, fancy cars in pristine condition. As you can see, I'm not the car aficianado, but they must be something special for us to have circled the block four times, then parked to get out and have a closer look. El Paseo is nice for a stroll and to window shop, looking at things that in a million years, I can't afford. Lovely benches align the streets, so sit down and have a gaze. Shops range from upper-end luxury to above-average chains.

It's the "Rodeo Drive" of Palm Desert, and some would say it's better than Rodeo Drive because you can shop at the Gucci, Brooks, Saks, and many other high end stores without the high end attitude of Beverly Hills. But it's not all high end--there is really something for everyone--they even have a large Apple store (where they actually asked me if I needed help when I entered--very unLAish) and Banana Repulsive and Ulta and BoBoolemon and OldBalance and Mastroes (best steak) and Wofgang Hockey Puck and Armando's Mexican and Sushi and Burrrrrberry, and a ton of Art Galleries mixed in and many many more businesses too numerous to list here. No visit to Palm Springs or Palm Desert is complete without a stroll on El Paseo. It's a Mirage in the middle of the Desert that keeps growing and growing. It has such a great feel to it, and you will feel good here too--it truly is one of the best shopping environments in the US. It is blocks and blocks of streets that are really a well joined outdoor mall, and that is another thing that is so unique. Sitting outside Starbucks or Coffee Beans people watching El Paseo with the stunning mountains in the backdrop on a Sunny afternoon is heaven. Best of all: Parking is free on the streets, and in the lots in the back of the stores. And don't forget, as you walk down El Paseo, on the backside of the stores on the North Side of the street are more great stores and restaurants fronting the 111. And business owners have taken notice of the status of El Paseo and it's growing more quality on the North side of the 111 in the El Paseo area. Unless you are totally opposed to art or dining out or shopping--go check it out at least once. I never knew it existed until someone showed me it a couple of years ago, and now I am a convert and never miss a chance to spend some time there.

My husband and I were in Palm Springs for a few days, so we were curious to explore Palm Desert too. Heck, the name sounds pretty to two people originally from New York. We happened to come on Black Friday. We easily found a parking space a block away from the main street with shops. The sidewalks were a bit crowded, but not overly so. Many of the shops were high end, so we mostly window shopped. I recommend looking for the ladies clothing store with the three cute little dogs in the window. There was also a great art store, a bit rich for our blood, but fun to browse nonetheless. We did have lunch at the California Pizza Kitchen, which happened to be quite crowded. We purchased a few pairs of shoes at the Clark's store for my husband, the service was great. Other than that, it was mostly browsing. This was a really fun place to take a stroll through. We enjoyed people watching too!

This is THE shopping destination in Palm Desert. Very tastefully done, all relatively new and in the same style. Most of the year it is just too hot too wander a vast outdoor space like this, making it a better option for morning or evenings. They have all the big name upscale designers as well as a few locals, art, jewelry and restaurants, anything you could want to do in Palm Desert is located in this area, a must see if in the area.

The Rodeo Drive of Palm Desert. Fun to window shop but unless you've got deep bank accounts it's not your typical shopping trip at the mall. Mainly empty, high end clothing boutiques, ritzy interior furnishings stores and art galleries. The art displays along the open space and medians make for great selfie shots. It was a beautiful walk though.

I love this street! There is something for everyone. So many great places to eat - Mastros, Sullivan's and Mitch's for Steak, Kitchen 86 has Boom Boom Shrimp and Wood fired Pizza. , Beaux Arts Cafe for crepes. Tommy Bahama has a great Crab and Avocado salad. Armando's is authentic Mexican food. Wilma and Frieda is delicious for Breakfast. JC's Cafe is my go to for simple lunch. Il's Corso or Mamma Gina for authentic Italian. And so many unique stores that are one of a kind - and some favorites from Louis Vuitton and Tiffany, Williams Sonoma, Janie and Jack but the small stores too. My husband loves the shirts I got him at Tommy Bahama. For casual, I like Fresh Produce and Chicos for day wear and Grayse for bling. So many hair salons to get all dressed for dinner or spa like Body Deli. It's fun on the first Friday of every month when the cars cruise on the street and the Art Galleries open their doors. Reminds me of Sorrento, Italy where in the evening everyone strolls the main street with their babies in strollers and dogs on leash window shopping. My friends that come in to visit, I suggest they stay at the Hotel Paseo and they love it. Such a great experience. Can't wait for Friday night since I am going to watch the First Friday Festivities again since it's starting up. I love living here. It's like a cruise ship with so much to do.

So cute and posh! Loved walking around in the area. Checking out the stores and having a margarita.

The fact I've lived in the desert for almost 30 years and watched this shopping area grow from nill to one of the most enjoyable places to shop in all of Southern California..priceless. The shopping here is one of a kind. Proud to see the growth!

We come to Palm Desert to eat and shop. We normally stay nearby in either La Quinta, Palm Springs or Cathedral City. La Quinta is the closest so overtime we stay at the local resort we always make a pitstop in El Paseo. When we come it's never busy. The busy times I suppose is probably during the holidays. Every time we have came, there is barely anyone walking the strip of high end stores. It's kind of like a ghost town, which I like. I hate crowds. We have our usual stores that we stop at - Burberry and Banana Republic. There is a restaurant that is next to Saks that we really like. We don't ever discount Tiffany's or LV of course! We love Mastro's!!! Definitely your high end area, but plenty of free parking on the street and lots in the backside of the shopping centers.

Nice outside shopping! Palm Springs is HOT, obviously.... so the misters along the walk was sooo nice. I love Blonde! Super cute gifts there. I'd definitely recommend shopping after 3pm.

Great shipping and food. Bought nice pants from Talbots for my mother in law. It was great to find her favourite store1while on vacation.

This is the "strip" in Palm Desert. Mostly high end boutiques offering apparel although there are also salons, parfumeries, and kitchen supply stores. I was able to buy some nice shoes at Mephisto and some of my favorite shower gels at L'Occitane en Provence. We also enjoyed drinks at the AC3, the new food and drink establishment at the Hotel Paseo.

This shopping center has really improved the last several years, additions of the Apple Store, Anthropologie, Teavana and most recently Mastro's Steakhouse. I was here New years eve day and never seen this plaza so busy. Parking on the street was impossible so parked in the complimentary two level parking structure located in the back. In addition to the newer stores you'll find the only department store Saks Fifth Ave and retail such as Banana Republic, Brooks Brothers, Tommy Bahamas, True Religion Jeans, Williams Sonoma, Between the Sheets and many other retailers. In addition to Mastro's for dinner you'll have choices at Sammy's Woodfried Pizza, Pacifica Seafood, Tommy Bahamas and Sullivan's steak house. Happy shopping and dinning at El Paseo Shopping District.

Christina S. and the other Yelpers have done a good job reviewing El Paseo. Speaking as a former Palm Desert resident this is the best place for shopping. And I think the shopping has improved a lot in the last 5 years. In addition to the new high-end shops, some more moderately priced stores have opened up too (Lucky Brand, Anthropologie). Shops that I enjoy, that I think are worth checking out: BB One, Trio, She She Clothing Boutique, J. Crew, and I like the Saks Fifth Ave here. The Pottery Barn is also good. There are several good restaurants in the area. Sullivan's, Pacifica, Mamma Gina's, and Sammy's Woodfired Pizza are worth checking out, and that's just to name a few. There are many others. One thing you have to remember is that a good majority of the people you see shopping at El Paseo are NOT from the area. Those hoity people that you're seeing are visiting from other parts of California (mostly LA and Newport) or they're out-of-town snowbirds. If you don't want to be bothered with those people then I would suggest going to the desert in July, August, or September. :)

Since we were in the area we decided to check out this shopping area. It's pretty big and just stretches along a long road, with some staple stores, unique stores and grassy/seating areas and artwork. Overall, a nice stroll if you have time to kill but nothing super amazing.

IF YOU PLAY POKEMON GO READ THE FULL REVIEW. This place is like the wanna be rodeo drive of the desert. Dont get me wrong, lots of high end shopping & dining here. You've got an apple store, and a Tommy Bahama's but the center looks very dead for a reason, It's built up instead of round, and the street is so big, and the desert is so hot that if people aren't actively buying things or eating, they are back in their cars ASAP because its so hot. so all that beautiful scenery goes to waste. HOWEVER IF YOU PLAY POKEMON GO THIS IS THE BEST PLACE IN THE DESERT GO GO TO TO PLAY POKEMON GO HANDS DOWN. Just don't walk in the gardens at night or security will get mad.

Very nice area, too hot to shop at noon, yet close at 6pm, a small rodeo drive in the desert

Love this stretch. Gotta give it 5 stars simply for the blaring Yacht Rock soundtrack that serenades me while I shop the strip. Loggins, McDonald & Christopher Cross meets The Apple Store & Wilma & Frieda's. Honestly, what's not to love?

Are there any retail shopping stores not open in this area?!! Seems like every single retailer is available there. It's like a relaxed Magnificent Mile of Palm Springs!

Very disappointed. Expected a trendy shopping experience with little boutiques and cute places to grab lunch. Nothing close

Everything is great except the hot weather Some great brands there. Environment is so good. Had to have an ice cold drink when walking along the street.

Hubby & I were trying to figure out if the locals who shop here are the old money or nouveau rich. I couldn't believe all the hoity-toity cars parked & zipping by. Mercedes SUVs seem to rule the streets but also a lot of Caddy Escalade SUVs, BMWs, 3 Maserati's, Roll Royces, Lexus and a Bentley. Many of the cars had either out of state license plates or Newport Beach as well as other areas of So. Cal. The folks who shop here are rather unfriendly. You smile at them and they stare at you with their overly plastic surgicalized faces. We saw no less than 4 plastic surgery practices on El Paseo. Lots of jewelry stores (22) with big old rocks in the windows and get this, you have to ring a button on the door before they let you in. Tiffany, a haute couture store, designer shoes, restaurants and ample art stores (19) can be found. I was surprised to see common folk stores like Banana Republic, William Sonoma, Chico's, Brighton, Coldwater Creek, J.Crew (in the Gardens - a building with other stores), as well as Talbots. The stores are not so much interesting as looking at the expensive cars. They even have a Maserati displayed on the street for sale at a mere $140K. Oh, wow. What a bargain!

As the day cools down, don't come here, they roll up the sidewalk by 7p. This is supposed to be the hot spot for shopping, but not nightlife. We came here around 6:30, so I don't have much to say except half was already closed!

Great window shopping, nice walk. High prices. We usually walk through when we're in town but rarely buy anything except maybe at the wonderful spice shop which is a favourite.

El Paseo is not just the over the top younger sister of Rodeo Drive for the seasonal on their holiday that it always was as a kid. The addition of the Gardens added more upscale shops (Saks, Coach, Louis Vuitton, Kate Spade, Juicy Couture, Tiffany & Co.), but it the shopping district also gained more. Affordable middle of the road installations like Banana Rebublic, (Ann Taylor) Loft, Pottery Barn, Teavana, Apple, Sephora, Janie and Jack, J.Crew (both questionable on the affordability) etc., arrived. It also brought Tommy Bahama cafe, Sammy's Woodfired Cafe, Pacifica, Mastro's Steakhouse, Sullivan's Steakhouse, and now William & Frieda. All I know is that this took a sleepy shopping town and injected some life back into it. Westfield even came in and turned the Palm Desert Town Center around shortly after. Those who were not around during the ice skating rink era may not appreciate how Palm Desert has changed, but in my estimation it began on El Paseo.

There are plenty of shops here but the foot traffic here is very light and there is a lot of vacancy! Lots of decent stores but all in all this looks tired. Way too many galleries for my taste but still some nice offerings.

As a subscriber to Palm Springs Life magazine. This shopping district is promoted very heavily. I decided to come here to check it out. In the magazine it is larger then life. I come here in person it's a small shopping district. In fact I felt let down from this place. There are lot's of parking at this place. A few high end stores. But that's about all it has.
