Uptown Whittier

Fun doesn’t stop where the campus ends. Just a few blocks from the College, Uptown Whittier boasts cafes and restaurants, a movie theater, clothing stores, a farmer’s market, and dozens more shops for students to explore and enjoy.

Here are just a few slices of Uptown life. What hangout will you discover?

Unwind over a delicious latte at La Monarca, Starbucks, Bark Coffee, or The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. (Because college life runs on coffee. So much coffee.)
Catch the latest movies at Whittier Village Cinemas. ($6 all day on Tuesdays).
Update your look at Melrose, Haute Mess, Ember and Stone, and more. (New school, new you, right?)
Grab delicious boba at Chillin' Tea House, sushi at Pho & Roll, tacos at La Chiva Jr., or pizza at Brickhouse.
Buy locally grown produce, dumplings, French pastries, and more at the weekly Farmer's Market, every Friday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Find your next jam at Lovell’s Records or your next ride at Legends Boardshop.
Browse the shelves of Undercity Comics or Friends of the Whittier Public Library Bookstore.
Expand your night life at The Whittier Brewing Company, The Bottle Room, or The 6740 (for students 21 and over).
Surprise your friends with a dozen donuts from Winchell’s or the perfect gift from Local Fixture.
