The building itself is very beautiful. It has several boutiques, restaurants and local art stores. Prices are a little bit higher than average but you can find unique stuff

The most beautiful mall I’ve ever seen, but there aren’t very many good shops. Due to Covid, most shops were closed. Was very disappointed that the Battery Park Exchange was closed

This is a beautiful building. Unfortunately a lot of the shops were closed and the others were meh, however, some of the shops were cute!

One of the popular place to be in Asheville is Grove Arcade. It was very beautiful and also a center of attraction. Didnt visited any store in particular as It was overwhelming looking at the place. The holiday mode was still on. The christmas tree and the lighting were fascinating. Loved the stores from outside but due to time constraint couldnt visit any of them.

I love this shopping mall~ Definitely worth a visit even if just to admire the building. Although Ive been visiting since I was 12, the atmosphere still leaves me spellbound ( definitely look up when you walk inside ). Favorite shop inside is Asheville NC Home Crafts, such beautiful yarn and tool options as well as handmade gifts! I apprenticed with one of their artists a long time ago when the shop was in a different location in the building and still use those skills today~ Theres also outdoor vendor space where local artists can sell their work, very well designed space! The history of the building is worth looking into as well~ This a very special place to me, I hope others enjoy it as much as I do.

A wonderful collection of shoppes! The arcade opens at 8am but the shops don’t open till 10am. Spend some time getting breakfast around the corner if you can!

Upscale shopping center with higher end shops and unique ornate items. Very clean and well built with beautiful shops and higher end goods. No food available here but it has its own parking surrounding this covered shopping center. Large white building in commercial sector of Asheville.

A great selection of unique shops and great restaurants all located in one building. Close to the center of downtown Asheville.

Perhaps not what I was expecting based on reviews and online information? Unique building with interesting architecture and history. Outside are some tables of local crafts. Inside are a few small shops and places to eat. If you are visiting and out exploring the streets its an interesting walk through.

The yarn and crafts store was fabulous. I had a great time talking with the ladies who work there. I wish that I could shop for my yarn there all the time and not just on vacation. Lots of yarn to choose from.

Shopping mall, art gallery, local business and restaurants all in the same place. There are places for outside vendors too. Architecture of the building , both interior and exterior are worth looking at closely. Some of the shops are really interesting like grandfather clock shop, yarn shop.

Absolutely beautiful historic structure in pristine condition. Shops are mostly local and a bit pricey, but its worth a walk around just to admire the building itself. So glad this structure has survived all these years. Check out the middle of the building for some posters with history of the place.

Nice shopping center downtown, cool architecture, shops are worth visiting.

Review №21

The name does not do this place justice. The exterior of this giant building is ringed with a variety of good restaurants and youll also find great craft booths set up along the Battery Park side, but once youve explored the exterior, make sure you dont miss the interior of this building. (There are four entrances, one at the middle of each side.) It is architecturally and historically a treat to behold and its history is illustrated on tablets at the center, around the elevator. The interior also houses a good number of quaint little shops of interesting variety and if your feet are tired from a long day of exploring, theres always Wake, a luxurious foot spa located right in there, too!

Great assortments if shops and street side vendors. A must visit destination in Asheville.

Review №23

This is a very nice place, however, the shopping could be way better based on the building. I have heard rumors of a restructure if they are true this will be a great place to shop in about 6 months!

Photos from Mountain Made in Grove Arcade. Its a really nice place to walk around inside and shop when the weather is bad. There are also shops outside.

The shops are of a very particular taste. Their best customers are probably each other. The architecture is beautiful, but thats all I found interesting.

Beautiful place inside, with high ceilings and sky lights. Definitely worth walking through. Most of the shops were only okay, but youll find a few good ones!

My favorite crystal store lives here. Go to Enter the Earth. They have some of the most beautiful specimens and they know their rocks. They are super helpful and good hearted.

Small indoor/outdoor shopping mall with some unique items in an old converted federal building. Not very busy during the week. Has a few restaurants around the outside that looked good for lunch or dinner. Also, has a nice coffee shop. Parking around the outside is metered.

The stores weren’t appealing at all. We were in and out in 5 minutes and only walked into a furniture store, which was good if that’s what you’re shopping for. Stay on the streets for the best shops.

I moved away from Asheville at the end of 2015 and when I moved back March of 2019 I was pleasantly surprised of all the “little upgrades” downtown has gotten, especially the Grove Arcade. Being able to use a credit card for parking is awesome I purposely stopped at the bank to get a roll of quarters before coming becuase I remembered before I moved away that’s all the meters would take. So glad to see the parking at the Grove Arcade is now modernized making it easier to update your time while you’re shopping in all the great establishments

Historical gem in downtown. Houses offices upstairs and little shops downstairs and outside. Its a small elegant mall! Come inside for clothing, crystals, jewelry, and other unique handcrafted arts! Tour the outside for restaurants, a wine bar, a champagne bookstore, and an outside craft market with local vendors!

Once a US Government building for military operations. The Grove Arcade has been transformed into a adaptive reuse miracle. Used for a variety of purposes, the structure contributes greatly to the streetscape and historic aesthetic of downtown Asheville.

Great spot to feel the light of the outdoors, indoors! When the weathers not great, this is a bright, open spot to come to. Quaint shops and small tables line the atrium, including a side entrance to Malaprops - an amazing bookstore and coffee shop and champagne bar!

Lots of great shops, but be prepared to spend! $$$ We road the Trolly and got the history first, which made it even better.

Great array of shops. Not leaving five stars because they find jewelry store I went into smelled of mold. The stores without carpeting did not smell of mold. Since mold is a neurotoxin that can make people very ill I cant give a 5 stars on this property.

This whole town is an incredible step back in time. I spent hours just walking around & looking at the unique buildings & the old quaint streets. The Grove Arcade was especially interesting. All independent owners displaying their crafts. No commercial junk, just authentic wares. I highly recommend going to the Grove Arcade as you discover Asheville.

Grove Arcade is a favorite place. Enter The Earth is a wonderful store with all kinds of stones and minerals. A book club meets at Sante Wine Bar and Food. There is a store I enjoy with an eclectic collection of decorating items. There are two clothing stores that are fun to look, too pricey to buy.

I was expecting more but we were there on a Tuesday where I think a lot of shops are closed on Tuesdays. It also seems to cater to wealthier people which was not us.

Gated snug and polo shirted, this place is more than just a few miles from downtown Asheville. But it has a great view and it can make a very good cocktail. And the staff is helpful and friendly.

Shops are great, architecture great, however the guest WiFi has me completely shaking my head. To use the Arcades quest WiFi one needs to register with your email address and then verify it from an email they send you....if one cant get on the internet (thus the need to use their WiFi) how can you verify your email?????
