The Shoppes at Pembroke Gardens: Where Pines Goes to Stroll, Sip & Shop

Not Just Shops

When people ask where to go in Pembroke Pines for shopping, dining, or just a walkable afternoon vibe — The Shoppes at Pembroke Gardens is always at the top of my list.

Why Locals Love it

• Walkable Outdoor Vibes – Think tree-lined walkways, fountains, and boutique storefronts.

• Dining for Every Craving – From brunch, to sushi or cocktails.

• Events & Entertainment – Live music nights, art walks, and family activities make this more than just retail.

• Shop Smart – You’ve got national favorites alongside local boutiques and lifestyle shops.

Whether you’re grabbing coffee, clothes, or a cocktail — it’s the perfect spot to spend a few hours.

Insider Info:

• Happy Hour is a Hidden Gem: A few spots here offer weekday drink and appetizer deals that regulars quietly take full advantage of. If you’re into craft cocktails and patio vibes, keep your eyes open.

• Brunch is a Weekend Ritual: Sunday mornings can get packed — locals know to join the waitlist online before they even leave the house. Pro tip: early birds enjoy the quietest experience (and shortest lines).

• Evenings Get Social: From live music to late-night desserts, the evening energy turns up. It’s a great place to walk off dinner, people-watch, or meet up for a casual date night.

• Parking Hack: If the main entrance lot is full, swing around to the rear entrances — there’s usually a pocket of open spots with less foot traffic.

Mike’s Take:

What I love about this place is that it’s more than shopping.

It’s where people go to hang out — grab coffee with a friend, take a stroll, or catch a sunset dinner.

I’ve had client meetings here, family nights, and solo walk-and-thinks.

It’s walkable, clean, and has something for every pace of life.

If you're new to Pembroke Pines, it's one of the first places I tell people to explore — it really shows off the lifestyle here.
