The LAB Anti-Mall

This shopping center caters to the under-40 crowd, toeing the line between being eclectic without being too commercialized. Boutiques, gourmet donuts, and a vinyl record shop are a few of the unique businesses that make up the Anti-Mall. There's also plenty of modern art that make it one of the most Instagram-worthy places in Costa Mesa. When you get tired of the high-priced consumerism of South Coast Plaza, head over to the other side of the 405 for a fresh experience.
