Guide to Coddingtown Mall

BIGMallrat's Editorial Review

We really liked Coddingtown Mall in Santa Rosa. The giant rotating sign outside is a city landmark. This mall really is a treat to visit.

Atmosphere

Coddingtown Mall has the most beautiful ceiling I've ever seen in an enclosed shopping center. It reflects the redwood surroundings of Santa Rosa.

The mall is light and bright and really pleasant. The interior corridors are wide and easy to stroll. You can tell this was an open air center at one time because the floor is noticeable higher in some areas.

Stores

You will find a nice selection of stores as well as some community-oriented one-of-a-kind stores. There also is Macy's, JC Penney, and Gottschalks as anchors. Plus, Ralph's supermarket for the neighborhood.

Food

You won't find a food court here, but you will find a pleasant offering of small eateries and sit-down restaurants scattered throughout. Some favorites include Narsi's Hof Brau & Grill and Sweet River Grill & Bar.

Parking

Plenty of free parking is available.

Location

Coddingtown Mall is conveniently located off Hwy 101 in Santa Rosa CA. Just look for the giant sign.
