San Jose Market Center

I’m glad to live super close to San Jose Market Center which is about a 2 minute drive! They mostly have everything you’ll ever need. They have a Target, PetSmart, and Marshalls. For food, they have Panera, Wing Stop, Subway, Starbucks, and El Pollo Loco. Not only that, but San Jose Market Center also has a Chase!
Parking was never a problem for me here. You’ll also casually see police officers around this area so it’s safe. Also a tip, when you’re leaving and you want to go west bound, go in the middle of the market center with the stop lights because if you exit on the other roads, you have to go east bound because it’s a one way.

Love the Market Center! Has everything I need all in one spot and all walking distance from each other. I think I come here at least once a week. Have met up with friends for food, and so many useful, convenient places to run errands.

Convenience is the key!
Trader Joe’s, Target, Cost Plus, Chase, Smashburger, BJ’s! Just some of the places I frequent. There is so much more here…
All in one plaza, plenty of parking and close to downtown. I’m not really seeing a downside here… the plaza is also always clean and well maintained

San Jose Market Center is a thriving area that I like to walk around. I park just about anywhere and walk. Sometimes from end to end. Because I can.
My very first love at this place is of course Cost Plus. Second is Trader Joes. Then Smash Burger. Target can’t be ignored either. There’s Thai food, yogurt, pet store, a game store, pasta, office supply store, soup, two Starbucks (one is inside Target). A bank, another pizza place B.J. A craft store. A mani/​pedi place. Beauty supply store. A dentist. Marshals. A Chinese restaurant. A spa. A few more that I don’t care for really. Lol!
So all these for the people that lives close by. It’s the convenience of it all. I love it!

i just came from this place and the property mgmt. company is extremly irresponsible. the sprinklers were running and outside of the Office Depot were 2 sprinklers that were messed up and spewing hundreds of gallons of water into the parking lot. Hello people theres a major drought currently in progress. Get your maint. crew out there now!!! And these dont appear to have been something that just happened. they have been like this for a while. I know because i am a contractor and i am familiar with this stuff. I will check back during next water cycle to see if fixed. The repair should take all of 5mins. and the matrl. should be about five bucks. So there is no excuses acceptable in this matter.

WHAT… THE HELL is wrong with the people who shop here!!! Every time I come here. something bad always happens!!! From the wicked old cat lady who cut right in front of me, along with 15 others in line at Trader Joe’s (this…or I caused a HUGE scene because of this btw)…to cars always cutting me off to turn into the parking lot… THEN to the dumb broad who was an inch close to hitting me with her car while I was in the DAMN cross walk (not even exaggerating)!!!
…again…what is it with the people who shop here?!!
I love the convenience of all the shops in one place… I’m just deducting all of the stars for the crazy people I encounter here.

This shopping center has a few useful stores and places to grab lunch, but the traffic is a nightmare. Seriously, if you are designing a shopping center I recommend you look at this one as an example of what not to do. Entry/​exit points are perpetually congested, there are limited opportunities to turn left onto Coleman, and the driving lanes on site are extremely narrow. The stores are too spread apart to really walk, so you’re forced to drive in the mess too.

I love this place because it offers so much of what I need, all in one plaza. I almost feel like this can be a health plaza because there is a Sweet Tomatoes, Trader Joe’s, Jamba Juice (although it is high in sugar and carbs …), GNC and Target!
I am usually here once, if not more times a week taking advantage of all of these stores because I am loading up on my weekly grocery list, plus random odds and ends from Target and sometimes protein from GNC.
Parking in the Trader Joe’s area is pretty much terrible, but other than that it’s not too bad! With the new addition of Smashburger and other restaurants this place is awesome!

Target, Marshall’s, Cost Plus, Michael’s, Petsmart, soon to be BJ’s, Chili’s, chevy’s (?!), European Waxing, Panda, L&L, Smashburger, Sally’s, T-​Mobile, Chase, El Pollo, Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Panera, nail salon with the star, Carl’s Jr., Office Depot, Torrid, Gamestop, Pasta Market, Baja Fresh, Sweet Tomatoes, Blue Mango, Trader Joe’s
From my memory. I am here way too often. Let’s be honest, when I’m bored and too lazy to go anywhere far away, I like to walk here from Japantown and kill time at Target. I can probably live here without anybody knowing. There’s food, WiFi, clothing stores, and fast food.
What they should build is a gym. I know there’s one further down the road at the other plaza where In-​N-​Out is, but come on. Let’s get one here! We can expand that empty area near the freeway next to Jamba Juice and Starbucks.

The perfect addition to San Jose!!! Close to home with all of the necessities.
Target, Marshall’s, Office Max or Depot can’t remember, Trader Joe’s, Cost Plus, Torrid endless food choices such as Smashburger, Carls Jr, L&L, Pasta Market, Wing Stop, Tutti Fruitti, Jamba Juice, El Pollo Loco, Panda Express and coming soon…
BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse!
This place is smaller version of The Plant in San Jose. It is in a prime location near downtown. One star off because they need more than one light to get in and out, if you exit on the wrong area you will have to drive a while to get to make a U-​Turn.

All my grocery & shopping needs in one!
Trader Joes, Target, Marshalls, Sally Beauty Supply, & Michaels, Cost Plus!
I like to swing by this one stop shop on my city detour down to highway 87 to avoid 101traffic on the way home.
I wish they had better food selections, though. They only have greasy fast food places …

I love my little market center for these reasons:
I can walk here from home
The Target is decent
The Marshalls has improved
The Tmo has the best customer service ever
Trader Joes– because I hate actual grocery stores with all of that club card
nonsense
The kids and I love Tutti Frutti
Jamba Juice, Subway, El Pollo Loco, Panda Express, and Wing Stop– no
explanation needed
Sally’s Beauty Supply — excellent customer service and great selection of products
Cost Plus– super cute accessories and gifts
Panera– because they will slice a loaf so that you can have fresh bread
and the best thing about my market center? They have a drive thru Starbucks… for
when I want my caffeine, but I dont feel like wearing a bra and getting out of the
car.
Thank you San Jose Market Center, for making life a little better for Alameda
residents!

I tend to go here because of all the different places to go. The seedy beggars are getting old and tired, The ONLY reason I frequent it is because it is the only place to go shopping for food, grab coffee and hit up Target, etc.

You get it, this place keeps me HAPPY!

I shop here at least twice a week, most at Trader Joe’s or Target. They have lots of parking but it can still get crowded at peak times (Sundays) near the more popular stores. There is also a Chase bank, Cost Plus, Starbucks, Subway, Yogurt shop, Michael’s, L&L bbq, and a slew of other smaller food places. One annoying thing is that there are only a few ways to exit, and they all go out onto Coleman, at which point you have to go down a ways and then U-​turn to get back onto Taylor. They need some more decidated left turns out onto Coleman, would improve traffic flow a lot.

Plenty of decent stores but this place is just a complete nightmare as far as getting in and out is concerned. The parking lot is enormous and clogged up by SUVs that drift at a glacial pace. Moving across this abysmal parking lot to get from Target to Trader Joe’s seems to take longer than the actual time spent shopping at Trader Joe’s.
It quickly got on my list of places to avoid on weekends. Glad the new Target opened just off 237, making it possible for me to avoid Market Center all the time now.

I have been anticipating the opening of this Panda Express for some time now. It’s finally open! hooray! This one is done up really nice and has seating outside which is perfect for summer evenings!
I was a little disappointed with the amount I was given for my entrée. My favorite is the spicy eggplant. I order this dish at every Panda Express I go to. I was given plenty of white rice, but only 2 pieces of eggplant and the rest was tofu. I also tried the walnut prawns, which is similar to the orange chicken, yet with prawns. Again, I was not served very many pieces for the extra $ 1 that is charged for this dish. A little disappointing. I am not a big eater by all means. In fact usually I can never finish an entire 2 entrée meal and have to save for another meal time. I was able to finish this 2 entrée meal with a lot of rice left over.
This location is open until 11:00 PM which is perfect for those who need a little snack late at night.
I am just happy that this location is open now and I have a place to go to get some «really good fast Chinese food»

Yes its 5 min away from me so I may be a little partial but damn this place is awesome.
Chevys happy hour $ 3 beers and well drinks CHECK
Wingstop! need i say more
Target! everything i could really want or need for the house
Petsmart, mehh they dont carry my dog fod but the pupperonnis are cheaper here
marshalls! can u say $ 10 shoes and $ 2 candles LOL
+more and more
and Once panda opens up! dizzamn im gonna be here everyday!

It’s so nice to have all these stores in about 5 mins driving distance! I get almost all my shopping done here. Trader Joes, Target, Marshalls, Michaels, World Market, Pet Smart! I go to Panera for tasty mochas and pastries and do my work with the free wifi in the nice seating arrangements.
The food selection is alright. Right now Wings is the best in the food category with Blue Mango in 2^nd place, I’m looking forward to the new Panda Express annnnd most excited for The Pasta Market opening! If this is anything like the one in mtn view/​los altos, I’m going to find it hard not to come here every week! Yummm.

I went to Petsmart doggie day care with plans to leave my dog for an hour or two while I shopped at Trader Joe’s, Target and the World Market. I also planned to check out a restaurant for lunch. To my dismay they don’t offer the service. Why don’t the stores get together and do this.
This could give a boost to the stores as well as Petsmart and draw a lot of people.
