The LAB Anti-Mall is a small, fun, and eclectic shopping and social space in OC. Its standout feature is the colorful and creative decor, including a cute wishing tree, which creates a lively and inviting atmosphere. The area resembles a lush green park with stores nestled between the greenery, offering a unique shopping experience. The stores are diverse, ranging from clothing and local small businesses to non-dairy ice cream, vegan donuts, plants, crystals, and bars. Visitors find the environment very creative and artistically inspiring, making it a great place to meet friends, family, or clients. It is a perfect spot to sit, chill, and chat, with many places to relax and enjoy food, drinks, or shopping. The staff across the stores are friendly and helpful, providing good service. Despite its small size and some parking challenges, many appreciate the vibrant, community-oriented vibe of the Anti-Mall, making it a highly recommended place to visit for a fun and relaxed experience.
A unique and very bohemian off-the-radar collection of original shops, hidden bars and excellent restaurants in a back-street plaza designed and curated over time with real artistic intent. Definitely worth a visit. Go see it before it becomes a victim of its own success.
