watters creek

It is a perfect combination of shopping & dining in a beautiful natural setting with trees and water features. Great place to just walk and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Many great spots for photos. There is really great variety of yummy eateries, especially the Cheese Cake factory & Bonnie Ruth’s Bistro. There is a good mix of stores to shop to your heart’s content.

Very pretty with lovely mature trees, winding pathways, small brook with ducks, open grassy areas and footbridges. Great variety of eateries and shops. Whimsical, cute and attractive window shopping. A very pleasant environment, so much more pleasant an experience than shopping at a mall.

Watters Creek is unlike a typical shopping complex. In fact, it's hard to think of it as a shopping complex at all. The layout serves well, ample parking in any of the numerous garages/lots on the outer perimeter . The selection of stores is typically high-end, Gymboree being the only children's store. There is everything from coffe and ice cream shops to pizza, sushi and everytype of sit-down restauarant. Try Bonnie Ruth's for a special treat - whether having a meal or just heading to the bakery for a coffee and treat. Watter's Creek makes excellent use of the warm Texas evenings with loads of outdoor dining, outdoor spaces and free entertainment. Check the schedule to take in a kid's movie under the stars or a free concert. The grounds are well-maintained and very attractive, overcoming the 'shopping complex' feel with thoughtful landscaping, a creek running through the village green, bridges, and a unique sitting area with outdoor fireplace in the heart of the complex. Here several restaurants meet in in an intimate alcove that evokes the feeling of a European village. There are restaurnats good for brunch as well as lunch and dinner.

We had just dined at Panera Bread which is on the edge of the shopping complex and took a stroll through the outdoor shopping center with my spouse stopping at the first dress shop. Across the street there is now another coffee shop that replaced the Starbucks that closed and this one had crepes in addition to coffee and there was a very large crowd. In the same area the park area is under construction with some added improvement. Parking is always at a premium however there is a garage behind the shopping area and one can usually find a space there. The management of the center is keeping the place looking nicely as there were still lots of flowers in bloom and the little creek was full of running water.

Watters Creek is more like a destination than a shopping trip. All the coolest shops and great restaurants can be found here. There is a creek running thru it. A huge green lawn where they hold concerts and have movie nights. Just a great place to go!

This is a nice shopping area, however the number of stores and various items for sale is rather limited. This looks like an upscale shopping area when you first drive into it, however there are some vacant retail spots. We also noted at least one spot is occupied by the local police department. The day we visited there was plenty of on street as well as garage parking. The on street parking requires a payment to the meter and if you are going to shop for quite some time I suggest you park in the garage as feeding the meter is time consuming and forgetting will get you a ticket as the patrol was constant. Hated to see the Starbucks go out of business and trust a new coffee shop will move in. Adjacent to the shopping you will find several restaurant and a grocery store. There is a small creek that runs through the property.This is a relaxing area to spend a short time just waking around the area.
