Some great little shops here. Pampered Pet, Shawarma Station, and M & M Meats which has some to die for gluten free frozen desserts to take home. Also Bank St Animal hospital is here and they are really great and fair priced too. Wendy's too if you are hungry for that kind of food. Many gluten free options available there too for eg chili, baked potatoes, Jr bacon cheeseburgers with lettuce as the bun..I just think they need to update their look a little more. They have been pretty much the he same since I moved out here 15 years ago

The mall itself is a nice mall with a good selection of small businesses, however with a new owner in the last year and a half it is seeing a slow but steady decline in upkeep. Where maintenance has been done it has taken an extra length of time to complete and not done to the standards expected of such a retail and office site. It's unfortunate that the retailers get stuck with a new landlord who is penny wise and pound short.

  • cheryl chongsiam

The parking is confusing because the entrance and exit are narrow and congested. I only go to Towngate for Bocca Juice (terrific ice creams), and Sweet Castle (or is it Castle Sweets?) which has the most beautiful and delicious cakes/ cookies/baklava. I drove out of my way for them. There's also a decent amount of other little shops ie M&M, Dynacare, produce depot, a pet store, jewlery shop, a pharmacy...

  • George Adaimy

Not the biggest shopping mall in Ottawa and not the best selection of stores... but conveniently placed location and have some good stores like the Natural/ Organic store and now the first "Mon Petit Coco" Breakfast restaurant... very good place that i frequent In Montreal ;) Lots of free parking and accessible by the train and bus station of OC Transpo!

  • #Canuckupnorth

Went to Dynacare and used their online checkin function and it works great. Put my name on the list, met up at my appointment time, was met with a smile, whisked into the blood-taking booth and out the door in 10 minutes. A mixture of technology, functionality, personal attention with respect and professionalism and efficiency.

  • Denis Lalonde

I come every weekend with my mom, for breakfast every weekend this is the far most delicious meal And Sam our waitress is the bomb also with the rest of the personel You want a amazing experience for breastfast or other meals this is the place to come great job to the cooks I will keep comming hands down

  • Tara Davidson

I am giving this plaza a 5 start simply because produce depot, Gabriel pizza (sit-down restaurant also serving breakfast!) and shawarma station are great finds in the area all in one place! If you want get produce, pizza/pasta/breakfast place and awesome meat and cheese pies plus shawarma then come on by!

  • Filip Sz

Great place for buying produce and if you line Arabic food. They have a gelato place that does crepes, a shawarma shop that makes awesome meat pies and cheese pies, a Arabic grocery store that serves great meat, smoked BBQ halal restaurant, and an Arabic sweet shop.

  • wonder world

Great place to hang out with buddies. Service is really good. You can hang out as long as you want, they won't bother you. They change coal at frequent time. Also you can bring food from outside and eat there which is really convenient.

  • Zak Omar

Nice location of stores and businesses. Compact parking lot with consistent wrong way drivers. Wendy’s drive through line can be busy at times blocking main traffic. The traffic light to exit onto Bank street is super slow and means at

  • Sohrab Ebrahimi

Very much like other shopping plazas except this one is newer built and more food oriented. The parking lot can be hectic as in other places but be sure to check the hours before visiting since some shops close earlier than other places

  • Nael Yasin CPA, CGA

The hours of operation cater to both early birds and night owls, making it a flexible choice for all shoppers. The well-maintained premises and friendly staff across the various outlets enhance the overall pleasant shopping experience.

  • Louis Hébert

Awsome place to get Sharma and Pet stuff. The only complaint I have with this place is that the parking lot is horribly designed, creates a lot of blind spots and I've seen quite a few fender benders happen while eating.

  • Julie Line Lalonde

It has a animal hospital, Pampers pet it has everything you need for all pets, if you like shawarma then you'll love Shawarma Station, Wendy's restaurant, Produce Depot very good grocery store, and many other store.

  • Jason

I mostly come here for the Wendy’s but there’s also a bank, the UPS store, the groceries store I’m pretty sure is like a fruit or vegetables place and other places. It’s an alright Plaza not anything bad about it.

  • NIESHA R HEWITT

  • Sherry lacasse

I went to the nail salon for a pedicure, which turned into a manucure as well...the ladies there are so great and accomodating. Clean inside and they dont try to upsell like the other salons.

  • Khalid Siddiqui

Excellent Shopping Plaza with excellent place of dentist and hygienist: Sparrow Dental, Shopper Drugs Mart and some good restaurants such Shawarma Station. Tim Horton is on walking distance.

  • Ian

Went to Produce Depot on Easter Sunday because it was the only place open. Very lucky! It was great. A cross between T&T grocery and farm boy. Good quality and selection. Not just produce.

  • Jason Ward

Mango vapes top notch check em out, grab a JBC at Wendy's after. Maybe a tasty shawarma for dinner? Or just some fresh produce what ever you need, also stopped at UPS store it was great.

  • Steve Buell

Produce Depot has improved remarkably over the last few years. I find I am shopping there more and more. The seafood counter is well stocked and very clean. This section was not so in

  • Andrew Thompson

In spite our arrival before closing hours, the staff was very rude, unhelpful, and refused to serve us. Staff here absolutely need customer service training, or back office work.

  • Marie Sarah Cardinal

Dislike can't even sit down in peace or enjoy a meal or smoke a cigarette without people going towards you always why can't they just go around No offense I like my own bubble

  • Katrine Deburggraeve

This is not a mall. It is an outdoor strip. It has very little store..including a gross Value Village that needs some good cleaning, sun tan place, chinese food and pharmacy.

  • Laura Chretien

Lots of restaurants...fast food, pizza a d sit down. Excellent produce and fish market...parking lot is a little odd to manoeuvre with unusual one ways that nobody respects!

  • Tina Ouellet

Come here to Gabriels for breakfast, and the pet store for dog food…. Clean with free parking, although Sunday mornings can be busy, especially Gabriels for the breakfast….

  • Mohammed Asif

Sweet Castle makes amazing desserts and delicious brewed coffees. A must go place for middle Eastern sweets like Baklava, Mamoul, kunafa and other array of French pastries.

  • Marc Prud'homme

Mr. B. Is a great place. The food is so amazing. Mouth watering. There is alot of space. The service is on point. I never want to go eat anywhere else I love it that much.

  • Pierre Fakhouri

Its only grocery store is Produce Depot, which is quite expensive compared to other stores. It doesn't have much, and the mall across the street has a lot more to offer.

  • Abdalah Dia

Good local shopping mall with groceries, cheap convenience, fast food options, medical centers, and a bank. What more could you ask for in a local shopping center.

  • Shauna Martin

I've been to the subway in the lone Star. I find this parking lot to be completely ridiculous, hard to get it out, especially when the bigger trucks come to park.

  • matthew pleice

Towngate news is a very nice owner and reliable for the production he carries and produce Depot has the cheapest lunch meat I've seen in Ottawa and good-quality

  • Michael McKeough

This ones been around a while. A little bit of everything here. The parking lot is tight and the one ways can be confusing if you've never been there before.

  • Louis Mathurin

Weny to Gabriel's for diner. Food is always good . Ihad Gabriel's lasagnia. Excellent . Wife had a steak done the way she likes it. Very very pleased.

  • Mary McEwen

Lots of choices for many different needs. But... I'm just wondering why there is a picture of your trash bins out back when looking up the Lab/X-ray?

  • David J. Baxter

Not really much in this plaza other than medical services, a bank, a Wendy’s, and a small pet store. Parking is the usual mess in a small plaza.

  • Carol-Anne Lavergne (Caro)

Really useful Lots of convenient shops and restaurants I go there pretty often because it's close and I can get alot of things in one area.

  • Andrew Raff

It's a standard strip mall, with a grocery store, a pet store, a small pharmacy, some other stores you'd expect. People are nice though.
