The Point

Wish we had a spot like this in Orange County. Smittens Ice Cream (originally from SF), Sugarfina, Madewell, Mendocino Farms, HopDaddys, and for some reason lots of athletic wear stores – the Point is on point! Lol had to say that one.
There’s ample parking and it’s a great place to just hang out with friends. There’s cute seating throughout the center plaza to spend a nice afternoon people watching. There’s a lot more eateries than shopping, but I can imagine more stores coming in in the near future.
If you’re in the area, check out the plaza!

The Point is a new, clean, and poorly developed property. It’s failure to deliver a complex and experience befitting this location is a disappointment, to say the least. The property is situated on a corner parcel with sweeping views of Los Angeles, the airport, and downtown LA. Of course, they erected a structure with restaurants, shops, & a large patio that take advantage of an expansive and unique view. Right? Wrong! Instead, The Point offers no views from any vantage spot in the shopping center. This complex is an exercise of initiating a development with absolutely no vision.
I understand that there are zoning laws and that plans must get through city approval, but this project is a meager and castrated entity. Instead of producing a destination complex with extremely desirable restaurants that take advantage of a magnificent vista, the developers have presented a complex offering no views and forgettable eateries and shops. What could have been something truly special is instead, just another small shopping center.

This shopping center is one where all the shops and restaurants are accessible from outdoor walkways. It is a nice relaxing place to wander about and to just enjoy the fresh air!
I love the over-​sized lamp, colorful fish & flowers murals, water fountain, and the seating areas. I haven’t been here at night nor when it has been cold, but there are fire pits here, too! There’s also grass to sit on (especially when there is planned entertainment like concerts) or for children to run around on. For your entertainment, there is a Foosball Table just waiting for you to give it a go.
It wouldn’t be a shopping center without shops and food! The shops look inviting from the outside, but are more on the pricey end. There are shops which I haven’t heard of or are new to the South Bay. You will find Lou & Grey, Lucky Brand, Marmi, Michael Stars, and more here! What I am most interested in is the food. I’ve only eaten at Hopdoddy Burger Bar. I would like to try Mendocino Farms, North Italia, and I can’t wait for the Smitten Ice Cream place to open!
If you feel the need to exercise while here, you can go to SoulCycle. Or if you want to be pampered, Vicara Aveda SalonSpa, is available.
It is easy to get to and the parking is just convenient and is plentiful! I prefer to park in the spaces near the Sepulveda Blvd entrance. I think most people park nearest the ShopHouse & Superba Food & Bread. Those spaces get crowded really quick!
This is a nice addition to El Segundo! The developers wanted this to be more of an experiential place rather than a place to shop, eat, and leave. You should go check it out!

This place is definitely a nice addition to South Bay. It’s got a colorful, clean, modern vibe and a small but good array of shopping and dining.
The outdoor plan definitely takes advantage of our beach weather with plenty of outdoor seating and shade. It’d be a great place to bring my future kids, ya know, if I was into that sort of thing (since dogs aren’t allowed).
Overall, all of the shops and restaurants are solid but highlights are definitely North, Mendocino Farms, Shophouse, and SoulCycle to work off the calories from all the aforementioned. Parking is free, but it definitely gets crazy during lunch.

Gorgeous, new plaza! Great addition to the South Bay! The South Bay was in much need of a place like this, because my BF and I are always looking for a place to walk around/​hangout, and this is perfect! So many places to sit and lounge around, love the furniture, especially the cushioned chairs and lamps! I like the large fountain with the firepit in the middle of the plaza. Walking around at night, it does feel a bit too dark-​they could use better lighting for the evening. Looking forward to coming here during the daytime. They have a stage and a lot of grassy areas to sit so I’m looking forward to coming here for some shows/​concerts. They do not allow dogs here, at first I was bummed to hear that, but I understand that they would want to keep the grass clean for people to sit on and children to play.
Everything here is brand, spankin’ new, and a lot of places are not even opened yet. Honestly, I wasn’t too interested and actually kinda disappointed in the store selection. I had never heard of some of the stores that I walked by, and some of the ones I have heard of, just weren’t too interesting to me, but there are other shopping areas nearby like the H&M across the street.
I’ll just be coming here for dining and lounging. We checked out North Italia for dinner, and it was pretty good. Can’t wait to check Hopdoddy and Mendocino Farms during upcoming visits.
Plenty of free parking, I’ll definitely be hanging out here! :)

The mall is a little smaller than the malls in the Valley. Whats nice about this mall is the outdoor fresh air from the ocean and most of all the sunset.Priceless.
I was out here today to look at a piece of property to possibly put a Restaurant location out here.
To let you all know that Shop House is part of Chipotle. A must try.
So many different eateries that I would have wanted to eat at. Next time.The one location that stood out was North Italia. This establishment is all open and you can see the kitchen as the cooks prepare your meals.
Its been a few years since I’ve been out here and they have done a great job in developing this whole area of El Segundo. Very nice.
The mail has a couple of nice feature’s.one is the water falls. To be able to sit outside and enjoy your meal by the water fall is priceless. So relaxing.
There still building in this mall with several retailers coming in.
The parking can be a challenge in the coming Holiday Seasons. The parking lot is not to big. They do offer Valet parking. Not sure what the cost is.
I was excited also to know is they have a concert series out here every wednesday at 6pm. I saw tonight a tribute band to Journey.Escape.They where very good.
Overall a plus in the development in this community.

@ThePoint_SB!
I’m going to get straight to the point! I love The Point! The Point is the South Bay’s newest premier destination for shopping and dining and I am loving each and every place. I got to visit today and really was impressed walking in.
The outdoor feel is so refreshing. I love the al fresco dining! The restaurants opening up are awesome! I got to try North Italia today and liked it a lot! I’m planning to eat at Shop House later this week and True Food Kitchen soon as well! I can’t wait to try Smitten Ice Cream. Can you tell how excited this foodie is?
I also am super excited to check out the stores! Michael Stars! Lucky Brand! Soul Cycle! It’s a great variety of retailers.
My point is simply that The Point is on point for a place of fun, shopping, dining and hanging out!
