Northpark Plaza Shopping Center

This traditional neighborhood Irvine Company center has all of the basics one would expect to find: a full-​service grocery store, drugstore and gas station.
The anchor is a good sized Albertson’s with everything found in the well-​known grocery chain including deli and bakery. The CVS pharmacy takes care of the drugstore needs. The Chevron has lots of pumps, a nice mini mart and very courteous staff. The Starbucks is ridiculously crowded, pretty much anytime of day or night. The Brueger’s bagels has a very wide selection and very reasonably priced.
For food the best bets are the Jack in the Box and Chipotle, as well as the Round Table Pizza. There’s also a donut shop, ice cream place and bakery-​café. I’m not intentionally omitting the other places, just can’t get everything…

Drive carefully in this parking lot! This center has everything!!! Grocery store, starbucks, happy nails, chipotle, breuggers, gas station, and subway, and cleaners!
Parking is hard to come by in the mornings and at lunch because of the high school nearby.

Northpark Plaza is a standardized shopping plaza that contains a supermarket, a pharmacy, a gas station, and a few fast food places. One can get many things done here aside from bringing everyone to a big restaurant where one pays for the ambiance. There’s a few banks and a Bank of America ATM in the Albertsons too.
The stores here include a Jack in the Box, a gas station, a Rita’s, Albertsons, Chipotle, CVS, Starbucks, and other places like that. The best coupon available on the Irvine Company website here is for 10% off at Rita’s.
Not a lot of parking gets occupied at this location, so one can park pretty much anywhere and walk around in the plaza.

I have been coming to see Jackie the on-​site esthetician for over ten years now. I literally get stopped on the street at least once a week asking where I get my eyebrows done! I have referred both men and women and it’s honestly always such an incredible improvement once they see her. Who knew eyebrows were so important?! Jackie is expert in both waxing and threading, as I have had to switch from waxing to threading due to a conflict with a facial product I use, so I’m familiar with both methods! Not only are my brows always on point, she is incredibly professional with all your other waxing needs and is extremely thorough. I honestly have no idea what I’m going to do if she ever retires.
In addition to Jackie, the entire staff is great and super friendly. I am always greeted by name and somehow the ladies always remember and ask about the goings-​on in my life no matter what nail technician I end up with!
Everything is clean and affordable and they have a large selection of gel nail polishes, if you’re interested :)
I never feel rushed to get out of the chair at the end of my pedi and there is rarely a wait although I do recommend making an appointment just in case.
Did I mention affordable?! Gel mani/​pedi is 50. Eyebrows are only 10, seriously she could charge 500 $ and I would probably still come. I’m not kidding.
Anyways, seriously ask for Jackie!!! You and your brows will thank me :)

This is a pretty decent center — it can get really busy during lunch time… and thats actually the only time I have been there.
I know someone else listed some of the places in this center, already… there is also:
Chipotle (Use the app on the Iphone to order, and avoid waiting in line to pick up)
Postal Annex (Friendly customer service for dropping off Fed Ex packages)
Happy Nails
CVS Pharmacy
Brueggers Bagel (I get Friday breakfast here often for the office — Big Bagel Bundle comes with I believe 12 or 13 bagels and 2 tubs of cream cheese)
Starbucks
Subway
Jack In The Box (Seriously the friendliest service in the drive through I have ever experienced)
Chevron Gas Station
Champagne French Bakery (I have not had the best experiences here… soggy bread on premade /​prepackaged sandwiches which I do not understand at all in a Café like this)
Donut Star (Great donuts, VERY friendly, they dont take American Express)
(I tried to not duplicate the other users list but I cant remember everything they listed)

Nice, convenient, clean and safe shopping plaza with a variety of businesses to suit your every shopping need. My go-​to spot for running errands when visiting Mom and Dad. The only thing it’s missing a retail clothing store. Plenty of parking, but the layout is not well planned with oddly placed parking spots that can easily cause some accidents if you’re not paying attention!
Here is a list of some of the businesses in the plaza:
Starbucks
Juice It Up
CVS
Albertsons
Chevron
Champagne Bakery
Cherry On Top Yogurt
Round Table Pizza
Subway
Hallmark
Northwood Animal Hospital
Chase Bank
H&R Block
