Department Stores in Walnut Creek, CA

“I had a great experience at Macy’s thanks to Ellie. She was incredibly helpful when I was choosing a perfume and really took her time to make sure I found the perfect one. She was very polite, patient, and genuinely kind throughout the whole process. What made it even better was that she beautifully prepared a gift box for me, which made everything feel extra special and thoughtful. You can tell she truly cares about her customers.”

“Nhien Ngo at Nordstrom Walnut Creek is the definition of what a personal stylist should be. For over 20 years, he has been my go-to for building wardrobes that are sharp, sophisticated, and always on point.

What sets Nhien apart is his precision. He knows my style and fit so well that it’s rare for him to miss. I’m someone who loves fresh clothes but doesn’t enjoy the grind of shopping. Nhien removes the friction. Whether it’s tailoring a look for work, curating something polished for a night out, or even pulling together casual fits that still look intentional, his touch elevates everything.

Even after moving out of state, he makes it seamless to shop with him. Nhien curates digital lookbooks for me, complete with sizes, notes, and styling tips. All I have to do is click, and the pieces land in my cart ready to go. It’s fashion made effortless, but never impersonal.

From shoes to jackets, scents to slacks, he creates wardrobes that are cohesive, contemporary, and individualized. Working with him feels less like shopping and more like being styled for the life you want to step into. Nordstrom Walnut Creek is fortunate to have him, and if you want to look sharp without the hassle, Nhien is the man to call!”

“Clean, comfortable, well run. Not a small feat considering generous 11 PM closing times (12 midnight this past holiday season). Prices are a bit high, but leavened by frequent door busters and clearance discounts. Staff once cheerfully went out of their way to help me find odd-sized boxes in the back of the store. This location stands out even in a well run suburb like Downtown Walnut Creek as a consistently enjoyable shopping experience. Among the very best of chain retail in 2026.”

“This tj Maxx is ok, they don't keep alot of things stocked the way they should so it makes for a pretty dismal shopping experience but overall it's pretty good. I'll be going back to get certain things there.”

“I’ve been shopping at this clothing chain for years and years, I say at least 30 years. They have them in quite a few locations. They have one Napa, Lafayette, Walnut Creek, and I do believe Moraga. They have a wide variety of clothes for men and women and children, this is fascinating for a small chain. They actually have a teenager department for girls and two sections of the women’s department, one for the very mature woman. They even have a shoe section with a very good variety. Also Jewelry and purses. I forgot to mention on the woman’s side, they have undergarments and sportswear.
It truly is amazing the variety of clothing and other things they have in these stores. And the prices are decent. Don’t miss out is my suggestion.”

“Love coming here and finding brand names for really great prices. Still found a great selection but the place has gotten a little bare. I feel like they used to carry more bigger brand names. Nonetheless still really enjoy coming here and the prices are still incredible.”

“I have visited this location a few times. And honestly, based on my visits, I can believe that this location is much nicer than the one in Antioch. Although, I probably wouldn't drive half an hour to here to get what I needed; I could if I want. Anywho, we were in the area on Nov. 24, 2023, and it was Black Friday, so we decided to stop in and see what kind of deals they had. And honestly, I was a bit disappointed. The sales that I have been seeing said "30% off", which isn't much of a deal. I was in the need for pajama pants and some socks so I picked them up. I scanned them, and they were on sale. I also bought some accessories for my new phone, and I was pretty disappointed with the fact that they weren't on sale. While we were checking out, I decided to use my Target Circle rewards (like I do usually), and the person who checked me out suggested I spend a certain amount to get the discount. I didn't get their name, but the way they explained it to me was very helpful. And everything went through without any issues. Would I come to this Target again? If I am in the area again, maybe I may check it out. Since the Pittsburg Target closed down, I have mostly been going to the one in Antioch and this Target is out of my reach. I like how there is a parking garage underneath, which is nice especially in a place where parking is AWFUL.”
