Where to Shop, Dine and Treat Yourself in Beachwood

Beachwood is where style, flavor and community converge. From luxury, sought-after retail anchors and curated boutiques to chef-driven dining, next-level fitness and restorative self-care, this is a city designed for discovery — and for gathering together.

Beyond an Experiential Gathering Place

Known for luxury brands, Beachwood Place has always been more than a shopping destination. It’s where memories are made.

For generations, it’s been the place for first job-interview outfits, holiday errands, last-minute gifts and the simple ritual of “meeting at the mall.” Now, the iconic center is stepping into its next chapter with a new management and leasing team at the helm: Trademark Property Co.

“Beachwood Place is one of those rare properties that already means something deeply to its community,” says Trademark President and COO Kevin Kessinger, a Northeast Ohio native who spent many weekend days growing up at Beachwood Place.

Thoughtful retail positioning will include intentional placemaking and retail adjacencies that align with the mall’s anchors — Nordstrom and Dillard’s — and inviting additional sought-after brands into the fold that complement longtime tenants such as Coach, Aveda, Sephora, TUMI, Zara, H&M and others. 

“Beachwood Place is an icon among the Cleveland market’s retail offerings, with a nearly 50-year history as a top shopping destination in the community,” Kessinger adds. 

Consumer insight overwhelmingly points to Beachwood Place’s legacy as a “place to be” and gathering hub, and this input will help drive plans. The early focus is on reengaging anchors and key tenants, exploring new food and beverage concepts and introducing exciting programming. Trademark has partnered with local consultant Maria Macali of Fleurish Strategy & Marketing, who will advise on activation adjustments and outreach.

Trademark is also exploring ways to create a bridge between indoor retail and outdoor community space, while embracing what makes an enclosed center work in Northeast Ohio’s cold weather months. 

Mayor Justin Berns acknowledges the role of Beachwood Place as a meaningful community hub for work and play. “It’s more than a shopping destination,” he says. “It’s also an environment for professionals on the go, providing options to connect to the energy of the community.”

Economic Development Director Catherine Bieterman agrees, pointing to Beachwood Place as an experience that offers “productivity and pause” for the business community and guests. 

“There’s meaningful social gathering that takes place here,” she says. “Meeting a friend to browse boutiques or explore new arrivals creates space for real conversation — uninterrupted, face-to-face connection that strengthens relationships.”

Beachwood Place will carry on its tradition as Northeast Ohio’s premier fashion destination for style, dining and everyday favorites. A purposeful evolution will ensure its relevance for generations to come.

Brent Willis, general manager at Beachwood Place, says, “Beachwood Place has a strong foundation and a clear opportunity to evolve into a more experience-driven destination that reflects today’s customer. Our focus is on elevating the environment, strengthening the retail and dining mix and creating a place where the community wants to spend time. We’re actively identifying targeted opportunities across the property to enhance the experience and bring new energy to the center.”

Dine, Nosh, Treat Yourself 

If you thought your kid would never swallow squid (ika) or gobble up a half-dozen tuna rolls, Funshi is changing the tune and on a roll with fun for all. The robots deliver — for real. It’s a revolving sushi, ramen, boba bistro that’s family friendly and built around a conveyor-belt system where small plates glide past your table. Grab and try. 

“Kids feel excitement, parents feel relaxed and everyone feels welcome,” says Co-founder Christine Xiao of the woman-owned business. AI-driven robots send trays to tables. Server staff members follow up with hospitality and then some. 

Xiao explains, “Funshi is sushi and fun. That’s what we have!” 

The fresh-casual spot also offers ingredients that were received within hours of serving. Boba is made with premium tea and fresh fruit. And more kids love sushi. “It’s not processed — it’s straight from the ocean, really healthy food, and all ages love it,” says Xiao.

Two decades of serving up scoops and smiles in Beachwood, Mitchell’s Ice Cream Co-founder Pete Mitchell recalls times when he and his brother, Mike, regularly visited a Beachwood bookstore and local restaurants with their parents. 

“There are school events and all kinds of community activities that go well with going out for ice cream and gathering with friends and family,” says Mitchell, whose Beachwood customers remember moments with ice cream on top: birthdays, after games and concerts, with grandparents, as first dates and just because. 

“We’re so proud to be part of the fabric of the community and being part of bringing people together in Beachwood,” he says. 

Beachwood faves? Caramel Fudge Brownie, Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, Cookies ‘n’ Cream and Wildberry Crumble. “While these are popular, many people are very passionate about their favorite,” adds Mitchell, naming his: Lemon White Chocolate Cookie, a seasonal offering.

More Beachwood Shopping — What a Find! 

Yes, you can have the bag, the dress, the shoes — don’t forget the sunglasses. Check any splurge guilt at the door. Cleveland Consignment Shoppe makes all this possible as a women’s fashion upcycling cornerstone. Brands like Chanel, Burberry, Gucci and Louis Vuitton live here. 

Steering the style helm is Gianna Gaspar, who studied fashion design and construction at the Art Institute of Chicago. “We focus on making high-end designer items accessible,” she says of lightly or never-used inventory that generally retails for double the price you’ll find in the shop. 

Stylists steer guests toward one-off finds and help pair pieces for special occasions or everyday. Gaspar calls out a personal favorite find: embroidered Dior heels. 

Importantly, she adds, “We are reducing waste and giving items a second home.”

Spelunking for all things home? The all-encompassing selection at Spaces Consignment Showroom spans the ages. Its inventory consumes 26,000 square feet of showroom space — slightly over a half-acre and not quite the size of the stretch from touchdown to center field. Floor to ceiling, visitors find wins and “are shocked when they see the space,” says Alex Sweeney, third generation owner along with his family. (Sweeney’s grandmother started the shop.)

Finds span from furniture to lighting, art, home decor and rugs. Add Spaces’ estate consignment liquidation services, along with moving (and removing), packing and staging. 

Sweeney stresses: Items at Spaces are “the real deal” unlike pre-fab pieces that may carry appealing price tags but lack style, grace and staying power. After more than 50 years in business and recent revamping, the family-owned treasure trove is a go-to for longtime clients, and first-timers wonder, “What took me so long?”

A Healthy Fit

CycleBar is celebrating 10 years in Beachwood. The experience is equal parts coach, DJ, friend and that mentor who’s going to push you one step beyond. 

Joe Purton opened this CycleBar, the first in Northeast Ohio, because of the community. The CPA and finance professional who worked as a health care controller for over 30 years had always turned to cycle studios as an energizer, breather and place to gather.

All this plus giving back through CycleGives is why classes grow, relationships build and members (and guests) find “their place” here. “We opened our doors with the goal of building something meaningful for this community,” Purton says. “What we’ve built is far more than a fitness studio. It’s a place where people challenge themselves, support one another and keep showing up.” 

Purton and team are setting the tone for the next decade with throwback themed rides, rider milestone recognition, community celebrations and more.

T3 offers programs for ages “6 to 106,” says Collin Taylor, training director overseeing operations for training that includes youth, adults, sports special skills, and small and big group sessions. 

“Everything we do is about health, strength and performance,” Taylor says, emphasizing the symbiotic relationship with UH sports medicine and inspiring facility with three stories of windows, leading-edge equipment and vetted trainers who are committed.

“Coaches know your sports schedule, your birthday and your dog’s name, and the level of individualism we have here leads to building relationships and consistency to come in, train hard and work toward goals,” he says.

At CORUS45, a rockin’ combo of strength, endurance, cardio, balance and flexibility begins with slow moves on a spring-based machine. Cue up a “killer fast playlist,” curated by Founder Hillary Zashin. What happens next is up to you. 

While traveling during a career as a prosecutor, Zashin discovered this high-intensity pilates workout. She brought her version to Beachwood and now Ohio City. “I wanted a full-body workout where you were one and done,” she says. 

While low impact, Zashin says the 45-minute classes that feel every bit as personal as a one-on-one “hit all those muscles.” Moves are named after songs, such as “Stairway to Heaven,” with the studio’s name a nod to Cleveland’s rock-and-roll roots (CORUS) and throwback 45 records.

Spoiler Alert 

A legacy of full-service salon and spa services and a reputation for thoughtful pampering is what guests appreciate at Dino Palmieri Salon & Spa, where an approach of “always evolving” introduces fresh experiences, modern looks and an ever-changing menu of self-care.

Located in Life Time Beachwood, the LifeSpa and its selection of wellness and beauty offerings is an enticing, “why not?” transition from fitness or social time. Spa Leader Natalie Gagliano says the luxury services unlock access to the club’s other wellness amenities: hot tub, sauna, cold plunge, cafe. Plus, there’s entry into club fitness. 

For some, a LifeSpa appointment is the appetizer to a full-body engagement. But that’s optional (and remember, at no cost with an appointment). Not a member? LifeSpa is open to everyone. 

Gagliano highlights the spa’s lines of vegan and other unique products, along with clean options for hair, face, skin and nails. There’s a master brow artist on staff, hydra-facial specialists and a barber. Go all in. “Utilize the whole club,” she encourages.
