Westfarms

This is probably one of the livelier malls in Connecticut. Has some mid and high range stores. Also tons of good feeding and snacking options around.

We love coming to Westfarms Mall! We visit pretty often, and it’s always busy on the weekends, but we’ve never noticed any safety issues. The mall has a great mix of stores, and even though some shops have come and gone over the years, there’s always something new popping up, which keeps it fresh and interesting. Even if we’re not shopping for anything in particular, we enjoy just walking around, taking in the sights, sounds, and energy of the place. It’s the kind of spot where you can window shop, grab a bite, and soak up the atmosphere. There’s always a little something for everyone, from shopping to people-watching. Westfarms Mall has that classic mall vibe but still feels lively and welcoming, and it’s one of those places we keep coming back to because it’s just an easy, fun outing.

Westfarms Mall is a great shopping destination with a wide variety of stores to choose from. The mall is clean, well-maintained, and provides a comfortable shopping experience. With plenty of retail, dining, and entertainment options, it’s a great place to shop, dine, or just walk around.

I recently hired Union Masonry & Waterproofing for a brick step rebuild and I couldn’t be happier with the results. The team was professional, on time, and explained everything clearly before starting the work. The craftsmanship is top quality and the steps look brand new. They kept the job site clean and finished the project exactly when they said they would. If you’re looking for reliable masonry work in the Boston area, I highly recommend Union Masonry & Waterproofing. Great service, fair pricing, and excellent results!

This mall offers a great selection of stores to shop in. It was a bit crowded, but expected on a Saturday night. The dining places are located all over the place in the lower level, which I really didn't care for. Having a food court makes things more convenient. Ie; we tried dining at Sallys Apizza, but the wait to be seated was 1.5. We had to walk to the other end to try to find a place to eat but there weren't many selections to choose from.

Was just at the mall and very highly disappointed in the stores that are in the middle of the hallways or the runways rather that sell the hair irons! The lady yelled at me because I told her no I wasn't interested and the gentleman that was with her told me I couldn't afford it and started screaming and swearing at me! Very rude very disappointed in West farm to have these people be able to talk to customers that way

Security doesnt do anything but walk around. Don't bother calling them if someone steals. They let unlicensed animals walk through the mall. The customers and staff have no common decency or consideration for others. Its not like it used to be when rainforest Cafe was open. More temporary stores than permanent, and more anchor stores are leaving. I am wanting a change in our mall. Actual leadership and BE PROUD to say yes I go shop here etc etc etc.

It's been an incredibly long time since I've been in this mall. Felt good to revisit. The 'You are here' button on the layout map we looked at, needs to be in standout colors like yellow or orange. Took us a while to find it. It was so dull, it blended in the background.

West Farms is a great property with great tenants and parking. It is clean and safe and I have never had an issue going there or working at Apple. One trend that is disturbing is the kiosks (some not all) in the main corridor of the mall act like carnival barkers and low-class flea markets. Upscale folks do not decide to buy photos, fix their phones, buy sunglasses, take beauty treatments, sign up for Infinity/Comcast based on a survey or intercept by an aggressive salesperson or beautiful woman. it is so annoying. I honestly can't remember what happened to me a few days ago as I was having a low blood sugar moment. I just remember being very uncomfortable. Still a wonderful mall after all these years. The Mall tried to kill WEHA Center in the 60's. Recently, Taubman got caught allegedly financing or influencing residents to oppose Blue Back Square. lol The mall has Nordstroms and Apple, period. It is great. Blueback has Crate & Barrell. LaSalle (WEHA Centre) has owner-managed local shops. We are very lucky in Central Connecticut to have great places to work, shop & eat. Buy local !!

One of the last viable malls left in CT. Westfarms was my favorite for decades and has still been able to keep my interest by having higher end stores and usually attracting higher end clientele. I'm all for a day or specified time where a mall would charge you to enter and give it back to you as a shopping credit so that you don't have to shop amongst people who suck.

A large and clean mall with plenty of stores. There are two levels and you can find quite a bit of high ends stores here. I deducted a star because there was no designated food court. I'm used to malls with food courts and a selection to choose from in one area. The food establishments were scattered throughout. We went the Friday after Christmas which was why the mall was packed. Parking was easy, we parked out near Nordstrom in the parking garage. This is a great place to shop, people watch, and get your steps in.

Nice mall with lots of availability for shopping clothes, shoes, food, and decor. They decorate nicely for the holidays too!

Westfarms has great anchor stores. It's not too far from Massachusetts. Only drawback is that there is tax on clothing. All stores had great service. I can't say that there is value because that is in the eyes of the shopper.

I don't go to the mall often, but when I do, walking through is never a pleasant experience. I'm trying to get to where I need to go minding my own business and I'm attacked every five feet from the people at the kiosks trying to sell me whatever junk they have. I would really love to be able to walk through and not have perfume shoved in my face and someone trying to get me to let them touch my hair. I'm good, thanks.

My first time visiting this mall was on Black Friday. It was so nice to see people out shopping again. The mall is clean and has every store you can imagine. I can't wait to visit again.

Honestly, this is probably the one and only mall left in CT that's worth the drive. A bunch of other malls have so many businesses that have vacated. This one has had the same, but unless you were coming specifically for Lord & Taylor you're out of luck, it's going to have everything you need there.

As far as malls go, Westfarms is pretty nice. They've redone the bathrooms since the last time I went, and I'm very happy about the number of hand sanitizers spaced around the mall still. I wish there was a food court here instead of just individual restaurants.

This is definitely one of my favorite malls ever since the Westfield Mall in Meriden started lacking in shops. There are a bunch of common named brand stores here like Hollister Co., Loft, North Face, Lush, Apple, etc. Definitely check the rest of their shops out on their website. Walking around the area and window shopping is always a fun feat when it's a dreary day out! Everything is usually looking pretty clean and polished. The bathrooms seem to be cleaned regularly and the trash cans aren't overflowing with garbage. Security staff in most areas. Parking is fine, nothing really to complain about. Overall, not a bad place to spend a few hours!

Great mall with decent shops. Only problem was seating, there is no seating on the second floor that I could find.

I love this mall compared to Buckland. It's clean, the stores are more established and of a higher quality than Buckland, and there's even covered parking in the garage near Lord and Taylor. There are coffee places and restaurants and an Apple store and clothing and shoes options. You can even find your next piece of Tiffany jewelry here! The only reason I go to Buckland anymore is for comedy shows at Funny Bone, but if I'm shopping and heading to a mall? This would definitely be the one I'd go to in the Hartford area.

We were down the road in Manchester and had pretty much shopped the area. Checking Yelp for other malls we saw Westfams. When they have 3 different main entrances you know the mall is huge. Lot of nice stores and the mall itself was very clean and quiet. I liked that they had chairs pretty much everywhere to sit and plan our next shopping experience.

Same old staple mall, it's super busy again since Covid but with some turnover of stores. Great place to walk around, kill some time, have a bite/snack, or even...play Pokémon go. Yes, it's full of stops, gyms, and some raids. Enjoy! Also- when you go, you have to stop in munsons for a small piece of chocolate, definite requirement.

"The upscale shopping mall".....Housing quite a few name brands LV, Tory Burch, MK, coach, anthropology, J.crew, pottery barn, William Sonoma..and lot more. The very first thing that comes to mind as u walk in is "lavish"......Laid out really well....can't believe this is almost 40 years old.... Ofcourse constantly being upgraded... You will find them remodeling something or the other all the time. The only downside with this mall is that it lacks good places to eat.

Very small mall . We walked the mall and saw the shops in one hour. Great for killing time and easy to get to from Hartford convention area.

Great mall with a good selection of high end stores. I went to a mall in Trumbull to avoid another trip to a mall when in west Hartford, but I was surprised to learn that our Mall in West hartford is much nicer and has more businesses than Trumbull.

Huge mall with some stores that are hard to find, like the Disney store or the up and coming Untuckit. I'm pretty happy with the selection that I find when I go there. There's plenty of restaurants and it's close to Corbin's Corner and West Hartford Center for more shopping.

Though this mall is quite a ways away from our house, it's almost always worth the trek. It's got the important anchors stores like Nordstrom's, Macy's (they've even got a separate men's and house wing), etc., a bunch of nice boutiques like Louis Vuitton and Tory Burch, as well as the tried-and-true go-tos like Ann Taylor, LOFT, and lululemon. The one surprise I had a few weeks ago was that there was no Abercrombie & Fitch here, though the kids' abercrombie exists, so if you have an A&F return or exchange, you'll hafta shlep to Providence Place Mall. All in all, it's a big mall with all the basics and then some (including a random Peleton platform in the middle?!), which makes for a nice one-trip shopping stop. Especially if you've got little ones in tow to see Santa or check out the Disney store. However, the one downside is the fact that there's no real food court. Sure, you've got the attached restaurants like P.F. Chang's and CPK, and the fast "sit downs" like Dunkin and ABP, but if you want a place to lounge around, graze, and people watch for a while, you're outta luck. Despite this small quirk, I am very happy that we've got this mall, and I'd gladly make the trip for some decent shopping. Woo hoo!

I am a mall girl from way back. I like to get a coffee, do some shopping, get a bite to eat, do some more window shopping.. etc. Westfarms has a nice variety of stores. The mall is clean and bright. Parking isn't to terrible. The Starbucks is handy and centrally located to fuel walking around. It's really a great mall to spend time in except for the people who harass you from the kiosks with/about samples. It's makes shopping unpleasant especially if you are making the rounds shopping. I've been asked 6 times already this morning. I've ended up avoiding those sections of the mall just to avoid being accosted. It stinks :(

Came to here to shop around with the family after brunch at the Cheesecake Factory. The mall is bright and clean. It has lots of stores to choose from for everyone in your group. I also loved the food selection especially the Cinnabon. I love that it has a parking garage for those wintery snowy days like we had. The mall was spread out so it didn't feel very crowded. I would definitely stop here again.

A decent mall which has a number of good stores and which is why this is my go to mall. This mall has high brand to low brand stores plus Starbucks and restaurants... The Mac cosmetic, Disney store, Macy's, Jcp, anthropology, bare minerals, Clair's, H&M are a few stores to mention. California pizza kitchen, bricco, frozen yogurt and much more for lunch/dinner. The parking is huge and is good during winter time too. The Black Friday night is good to shop here!

This mall has been my saving grace many times. I still drive to this Nordstrom's from NY from time to time. Would be a 5 star but the Macy's has really gone down, as they do not carry many of the brands that they did previously. They have the closest Aveda to me as well!!

Somewhat disappointed especially with Macy's. The days I went there were quiet and it was a struggle to get service in Macy's. A fee places to eat dotted around the place not no food court area. Lots of parking.

I remember going to West Farm's Mall 30 years ago. It was lot different back then. Certainly a lot more causal and kid oriented, since then It's grown and become far more sophisticated with more expensive and yuppier type stores. For most of my needs that are other malls that I prefer but West Farm's has found it's niche and exploits it well. Last time I was there it was packed and parking anywhere near the mall was difficult to find and not very many stores inside were vacant so I guess it's doing pretty well in a lousy economy. One good thing, at least for shopping, is that the entire area around the mall has developed into a vast smush of stores which makes coming here convenient if not particular pleasant to look at.

Next to Danbury, this is my favorite mall. They just need a Lush, and then it might trump Danbury for me. Kind of odd configuration with corridors, but there's a decent mix of stores. An obvious omission is Old Navy, but it's right across the street so no big deal. Give me Sephora and the Body Shop and let me eat at CPK and I'm a very happy girl. Free of the raggies and hood rats of other malls (Meriden and Waterbury, I'm looking at you) this is a very respectable mall that should meet most people's shopping needs. Yes, there's Nordstrom, Tiffany, Louis Vuitton and Coach galore, which are out of my price range, but there's a decent selection of reasonable mall staples to keep me happy.

I have a long history with Westfarms. Having grown up in Bristol, it was always the closest mall. I have memories of going to the mall as a kid, driving their in high school when I first got my license, and now I even take my kids to the Santa near Christmas time. There are some great elements to the mall, and some things that I wish were improved. On the good side, Westfarms has a great selection of stores. Many of my favorites, including Brooks Brothers and Tommy Bahama, have shops at the mall. It is a bit more of a high-end mall than others in the area, but there is a good variety of stores at different price points. There have been a ton of new stores coming in over the past few years as well that have improved the selection even more. On the downside, for a mall of this size and quality, the food options could be better. There are some chain restaurants and quick-stop places, but I always feel like they could have much better options. There is some good news on the horizon though, as Shake Shack is apparently moving in across the street (where Sears used to be). All in all, I definitely recommend Westfarms for shopping at almost any price point.

Don't shop from Forever 21. I personally saw an employee bully another employee with my own eyes. & the cashier spoke to me so poorly. I'd rather shop online

Found this mall in my travels. Was looking for a Lord and Taylor store which this mall has. Plenty of close parking. The mall property is clean and security was plentiful keeping the grounds safe. I see another trip to this shopping venue in my future.

This mall has Nordstrom's, Macy's, Sears, LV, Pottery Barn, True Religion, gelato, nail salons, Anthropologie etc. It's slightly on the higher end side compared to other malls because of stores like Nordstrom and Anthropologie. There's also the Rainforest Cafe which is a fun place to grab lunch. They also have Dunkin Donuts (which I noticed was popular in this city). This is the best mall you'll find in Farmington.

Great Mall. There are a large variety of stores. I'm giving this mall four stars because I am constantly being harassed by the parade of people working at the kiosks to purchase their products. They just can't seem to take no for an answer. It makes my whole shopping experience so stressful.

I like to come here, although I'm not a big mall person. There are a lot of good stores here, especially high end stores like Louis Vuitton. They also have a starbucks, which I also like. Almost always the place is hopping with people, shopping or just hanging out. I was dying for a Louis Vuitton purse, which I couldn't find the size I wanted in the store in NYC, so I took a chance and came here, and voila! they had the purse in the size I wanted! The staff was helpful, although I felt the first time I arrived, they were a little slow to assist me. I wasn't able to tell if they were just giving me a chance to browse, or if because I was dressed in jeans.... I don't want to make assumptions. Either way, once I got assistance, I was in and out, and was pleased with my purchase.

1:45 from where I live. but definitely better than any malls you will find in Nashua or Manchester. This is a higher end mall, so you will find your Tiffany's, J Crew, Nordstrom's and Lord and Taylor to name a few. This mall literally has everything I need, except for a food court. They do have a starbucks and a pretzel place. The line for starbucks was packed. Also, it may be a tad hard to find parking here, I personally got lucky. They could also use a couple more restrooms throughout the mall. If you want to dine here, they have Brios Tuscan Grille and P. F. Changs. There are couches inside the mall if you get tired, you can sit at.

This is probably my favorite mall in Connecticut. There is no food court, but so many good places to eat throughout the mall and right next to it. Also, there is a huge variety of different types of stores to shop in. Not to mention, a great variety of shops for both men's and women's clothes.

Quite a large mall with shops on the higher end like Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, Tiffany & Co. No food court but there are restaurants in the mall. Nice interiors, convenient parking (parking garage and grass parking lot), currently undergoing renovation.

I love this mall! It's amazing and has a lot of stores I love! I really love the smell of the store! Me and my family love going to this mall! I love the PF chang's there! I love how it has a bath and body works, Abercrombie and Kids, justice! I totally recommend this mall!

It is the nicest mall in the area and has a few higher end stores. Ie: Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co, Norstrom's, Tory Burch and a few others. The anchor stores are there but the mall does not offer many stores that are trendy. Hope to see that change.

I go to Westfamrs and I go often. This is one of the most conveniently located mall by me. At just a 10 minute drive, I go here when I'm bored or when I have time to kill to just wander and shop. They have a lot of high-end stores I love: including Tory Burch, MK, and Tiffany's. I also do love the anchor department stores, which include Macy's, Lord and Taylor, and Nordstrom's. They also have the staple "fast fashion" stores, like Forever 21. This mall is very clean, and surprisingly not filled with groups of high schoolers "hanging out". Parking is ok, though during the holiday season, it can be a nightmare. I do love this mall, because it's just the right size -- not too big and not too small. At the same time it has all my favorite store, all in one place!

Anna Wintour is to Vogue as Westfarms is to Connecticut...just about the best thing that could happen to colonial New England! If you are a shopper, and in Connecticut, this is your place! Stores from Louis Vuitton, Tory Burch to Madewell, Lulu Lemon, Free People, and sooooo much more!! Come here on a rainy day and shop til' ya drop!

We only recently got to Westfarms and have had good experiences there. It's a mall, of course, and there are good and bad things about that. This one tends toward the upscale -- Tiffany, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, Tommy Bahama among them -- but there are lots of mid-priced stores, too, most of them familiar to mall-goers anywhere. We think that's good and brings in a diverse group of shoppers. Our personal favorite is probably Nordstrom, a huge department store with two floors and a well-trained, knowledgeable staff to help you. The other anchor stores here include Macy's and J.C. Penny, so chances are you can find most anything you're looking for. It also boasts an Apple store and a Microsoft store. Interestingly, the mall doesn't have a food court (small food outlets and chains like Burger King are located on side corridors), and in general its restaurant selections are a bit below mall averages, we think. There is a centrally located Starbucks, and while we don't consider that a plus, it does appear to draw long lines. We've had no issues with parking; the covered lots are great in inclement weather.

Call me a mall guy. I've been to every mall in the state and this one is the best. It has the best stores, the best layout, and the best parking. More importantly it has what truly matters: it has the best chicks and MILFs. So if you guys aren't into shopping there's always nice eye candy available to pass the time. I guess, look but don't touch. I'm not sure why, but this mall doesn't have the same problem the other malls have with inner city rejects congregating in the corridors. Maybe they're intimidated by the mall's fortress-like construction or maybe they're too busy ogling the big screen TVs across the street at Best Buy. Whatever the reason, it just works. At this mall paying customers reign supreme, not gang banging schmucks who don't have a pot to piss in. So three cheers for good old fashion materialistic consumerism. You'd think those Richie Rich schmucks in Fairfield County would have the best mall in the state. But they don't. The best mall in the state has an address inside Hartford County.

Disclaimer: I work in this mall. Best mall in CT. Westfarms Mall has an abundance of high level designer boutiques (with more, such as Tory Burch, coming soon), the largest Macy's in the state, wonderful sit down eateries (try Brio) and some of the usual quick serve establishments. It even has a Dunkin' Donuts! Sarah D. Is right...in the last year or so things have been changing. This is by design as mall management has been looking at leases when they're up for renewal. When management no longer desires the store to be in the mall, they either refuse to renew or up the rent--gets rid of the undesired tenant. Also, a few smaller boutique stores have gone under (77kids, for example). But Westfarms will be filled again, from what I'm told, by late summer or early fall. Pros... Large number of higher level designers Large amount of covered parking Active mall management that keeps storefronts active and occupied Ticketmaster at the customer service center (on 1) Very safe (I've frequently walked out of my employee entrance late at night with never a problem) Cons... No food court (this is by design) The kiosks in the middle of the corridors (keep walking, they'll stop hawking to you) Mall cops tend to be a little too aggressive with employees concerning parking (guys, if I'm parked at the end of a yellow row, that's not inconveniencing a guest...stop it with the warnings. Besides, I'm absolutely not the only one who does it). Many have mentioned parking. Here's the trick...find a spot and TAKE IT. Don't circle around and wait 20 minutes for the family of 12 to pack into the minivan, holding up traffic just so you can get the spot by the door. Walk a little bit, enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. If it's raining, use the garages and stop circling...park your damn car. Once you understand life is not about getting the spot by the door, everything will be far less stressful for you. Seriously. All in all, of you want or need to go to the mall, this is the mall to go to! You'll escape a lot of the problems brought on in other shopping centers in the state and have access to some pretty high end fashions.

Really cute mall/shopping. Stores include high end makeup stores, Tiffany and co, Louis Vuitton. Restaurants are also in here. I was in CT for work and my iPhone broke so I came here to go to the Apple store and had myself a shopping spree.

They've got a Nordstrom, which automatically makes me a fan, but the mix of stores and restaurants makes this the perfect place to spend a rainy day off. It's a clean and bright place that feels upscale, but not obnoxious. Nothing cutting-edge, but no empty storefronts, so they must be doing something right. Tips: * If you're coming from more than 50 miles away, go to the Info Desk upon arrival and show them your license; they'll give you a list of special discounts, some of which are actually useful. * If you have a stroller or a wheelchair, be aware that there are relatively few mall elevators. Be prepared to schlep back and forth to use them. * There are a lot of sitting areas scattered throughout the mall, but if you want one in relative privacy (that's not a Nordstrom Ladies Lounge), try the hallway next to Louis Vuitton's mirrored exterior. It's always empty. Maybe normal people are intimidated. * Stop at Trader Joe across New Britain Avenue on the way home, so you won't have to make dinner in your exhausted state.

LOVE this mall!! I'm so glad I live close by...although every time I find myself at Trader Joes in Corbins Corner, I somehow find myself at West Farms a few minutes later. The temptation is too great to deny. Teavana, Sephora, the Apple Store, Nordstrom, Restoration Hardware and some pretty upscale stores (Cole Haan, I'm lookin at your lovely self) make me a very happy shopper. The overall layout is comfortably walkable and quite enjoyable, although I usually dislike malls. Some decent food choices available (California Pizza Kitchen, Rainforest Cafe) although not much of a food court for a quick bite-- most of these are sit down places which seems odd to me for a mall.

Coming from San Francisco and Los Angeles I didn't know what to expect in terms the quality of malls around here. Westarms did not disappoint in terms of high end options. As much as I like buying my clothes from Sears and JC Penney I needed other options and Westfarms delivered with Nordstrom and several other stores of that caliber.

I love West Farms Mall...not only does it have all of my favorite stores but it also has some great places to eat! I always find something when I am searching for a gift or for something for myself. Lots of great kids stores, kiosks...it has a starbucks and a fabulous smoothie place...and a Pinkberry. The parking lot is almost always packed but I find that parking in the Nordstrom's parking garage is a sure fire way to park somewhat close to the door. I've always had friendly and courteous service at all stores I have visited,...even the more ritzy places like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany etc. This is my go to place for almost everything...even just walking around and window shopping!

My friend and I went to hot topic my friend got a Panic at the dico shirt and I looked for a BTS shirt there were out of stock but I can blame them it's BTS, ARMY'S snatch up anything BTS but the cashier was one of the nicest people I have ever met she was so kind. She put customers first, she was so amazingly nice. We also went to the dragon breath stand and they were amazing they are priced very well it was $7.99 for a good size cup and dipping sauce. There was many other stores we liked as well but we were on a little bit of a time crunch. Overall I would highly recommend to anyone. :)

This is the nicest mall in CT. Everything you could ever need and none of the little punks loitering the place on the weekend like in other CT malls. The store selection is great: Apple, Williams Sonoma, Nordstrom, Sephora, Tiffany, Louis Vuitton(!!!), Solstice, Coach, J.Crew,Martin & Osa, Restoration Hardware, etc. The restaurants are okay, and I actually like the fact that there is no actual food court. CPK, Ruby's, Rainforest Cafe, Uno's, Au Bon Pan, etc. Whenever I need to hit up a mall, I never cringe if I know Westfarms is in my future. During the holiday season this mall has valet parking, too!
