Large shopping center to get everything you need in one area.
My family went from food grocery to retail shopping easily. There are some dining options here if you get hungry. Panera for soups/sandwiches or check out Smashburgers for some good burgers. They have family restaurants like Applebee's and Olive Garden with Outback Steakhouse for those that want some yummy steaks.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Nov 22, 2020Previous reviewCame here looking to stock up on a few items because the one near us (Cropsey) were missing some supplies. During Covid, certain items are in high demand but short supplied =(
Needed Fresh Pet food log (Cropsey's refrigerator was OOO), hand soap refills, kosher salt and always looked for clorex wipes & bounty.
It was also limited stock here (but that is to be expected). Long lines as usual. We came in and got what we could find and left.Mar 18, 2018Previous reviewI come here usually to shop at BJs, bedbath&beyond, target but I haven't come here in do long since a BJ opened near me (crospy). I like that I can go to Panera here since the one in bay ridge closed down. Great shopping area with large parking lot.

I have been here some years ago and it has changed over the years. The place reminds me of a outlet center.
There are many stores to shop from. They have a food court section where chairs and tables are placed outdoors. The grounds are well kept and lined with flowers and greenery.
Definitely recommend this placeHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 1, 2016
I am at this mini outside mall all the time shopping at least six different stores.
it's very convenient and close to my home.
I spend a decent amount of money at the stores here for different types of merchandise.
I'm so glad that they built this mall near me so between Gateway 1 and Gateway 2 I've got just about everything needed.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Lesly M.New York, NY321Dec 27, 2021
Terrible customer service! I brought my mom shoes for Christmas , the shoe size did not fit her, I went to champs Sports to exchange the shoes the lady that attended me, was so rude and when I asked for the shoes that my mom wanted, anther customers came in and asked for the same shoes that my mom wanted she went to the back to look for the shoes and she gave the pairs of shoes to the other customer and told me and my mom
That was the last pair! I was so upset because we asked for the shoes first, overall terrible customer service! Never going back.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Aug 7, 2018
I remember driving by what use to be a dump on the belt parkway and was pleased to see what it has become. The mall has a good selection of stores and parking for days. Just don't park closer to shoprite on a busy weekend, you'll never find a spot.
There's a good selection of stores. I have my choices of favorites, shopping is easier during the weekdays as it gets crowded on weekends like any other mall
I really liked what they did for the neighborhood
Hopefully there's more to come
If u haven't been to the gateway mall it's worth visiting ...right off the belt parkway and there's stores in the back of the mall as well.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Ceren A.Brooklyn, NY114911978555Oct 24, 2016
If you do not drive or live around the neighborhood this is not the place for you. I first had come here back in 2008 as the best shopping option rather than taking your time to go to city but still was about $20 by cab so it was not rational much :)
Recently I have been here couple of times with my brother on his way to office. There is Target with Starbucks in but always lined up. Bath and beyond, Home depot, petco, etc. and there are dine options such as Olive Garden which also has wait for tables most of the time but in general this complex center is quite okay considering the number of the stores, parking space and distance to Midwood.Helpful 9Thanks 0Love this 6Oh no 0 - K.

The most helpful staff, kind polite and friendly can't ask for better. This is my second interaction with Francois, super knowledgeable and handsome what more can you ask for.

This is cool and very convenient mall in the community that has been maintained over the years. It recently expanded with additional stores and a huge supermarket and its great to see my old neighborhood being uplifted and providing jobs for residents. But like any other shopping area, it gets cray cray on the weekends and/or holidays and I try to avoid the area like the plague. Sooo many cars trying to get in and out and it can be a hassle. Forget about trying to get something to eat in one of the restaurants on the weekend, long waits.
Overall I love being able to drive to Target and/or Best Buy for something quick. Its definitely worth checking out especially with the free parking. There is also a public bus that stops in the immediate area and seems like a short walk to the shops.Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - May 30, 2015288 check-ins
I love this shopping mall. If you need something and don't want to travel far, then this is definitely the place for you. I love the new renovated look of Gateway Center. There are so many stores to suit your every need. This is the best thing in East New York right now.

This is currently my most loved location for shopping. I used to go to Kings Plaza to shop because it was the most convenient place for me. It was close and has many shops. Unfortunately, the recent changes made to the mall made it hard for me to find things I like. My sister decided to drive a little farther and we found the Gateway Center. Its great!
It is not too far, has a great parking lot, a variety of food, and many places to shop at. Majority of the shops and restaurants here offer great service.
I highly recommend this place for people living around the area (especially lazy people like myself). Why bother traveling far into Manhattan or even farther to Queens or NJ when you have something so close haha.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
