There are a lot of helpful and handy stores in the City Square Mall.
A smaller independant market,
A larger chain grocery,
A handful of cell phone retailers and a Dollar store to name a few.
It's a good spot to go if you need essentials, or if you wanna just browse around and grab a coffee from the coffee stand at the second level. -

Weird little mall with weird little shops. Highlights: Cook-shop and the beer and wine shop that sometimes sells things for less than the BCLB (how do they manage that?). Letdowns: very lame dollar store and that strange lady's clothing shop that seems to cater to somebody's crazy aunt (many floral dresses and bejewelled tops).

A small, intimate, fairly exlusive mall exists on the corner of Cambie and 12th Avenue: Welcome to City Square.
I used to go work out at the large, 24-hour Fitness World located at City Square, and would usually stop in at the main-floor Safeway to get some groceries after. There was always ample parking, and the mall is clean and bright -- a nice experience for those who are visiting for a specific reason.
Otherwise, it's not much of a place for browsing. With only a few small stores and kiosks, there's not too much to see. However, there is a nice, bright food court and plenty of coffee shops -- it's a pleasant space to grab some lunch with a friend or a cup of coffee and some dessert.
Now, something about the building itself. It's quite spectacular (I heard when the mall took over the site, the original greystone building wasn't completely destroyed, and some of the original walls were actually incorporated into the new structure), with a gorgeous glass roof and plenty of large windows, filling the entire mall with light. -

Unlike other malls in Vancouver, City Square takes a Spartan approach. It's never really been able to find its niche so the retail outlets that occupy the lot are constantly changing and kiosks are always shifting and moving. With its ever-revolving retail door, the only mainstays that come to mind are Safeway, Fitness World and Crankpots.
It's a shame that no retailers have managed to be very successful here as the building itself is beautiful. -
Review from Simon K.
Not small in size, compared to the other so-called malls around the city, but one that decided to go the non-commercial route, with no real big-box stores, but many small, different businesses, aside from the food court, and the grocery shopping at Safeway.
There's alot of parking in this mall, and it is all underground. As long as you buy something from somewhere here, I think for $5, then you get an hour of parking free. If you go workout upstairs at Fitness World, just remember to stamp your card, and you get 2 hours of parking.
This mall is actually in a very good location of the city, and hopefully over time, and how the area has grown, hopefully this mall can attract some good businesses, and life back here. It has interesting architecture, as they have kept the old 'school' structure (I think it was a school', within the mall. -
