Maybury Farm
Restaurants
My fav Novi hangout. A Novi option to consider for weekend brunch or an evening meal.
Toasted Oak Grill & Market
A great option for a meal after shopping at Twelve Oaks, especially when your group wants different types of food. You can also make it a separate dessert stop rather than planning a full meal.
The Cheesecake Factory
Great food, awesome drinks, good vibes, another family favourite - highly recommended!
Sedona Taphouse
Very close to Emagine. A casual option when you want burgers and a setting with a little personality. The automotive theme gives this recommendation a different feel from a standard shopping-mall meal.
Ford's Garage Novi
Real Detroit Style Pizza. A family favourite. Must visit if you’re in the area.
Buddy's Pizza
Beauty Restocks & a Little Self-Care
Beauty stops for replenishing everyday essentials, exploring a new routine, or making a little time for yourself. These are useful places to browse before deciding what deserves a place in your makeup bag or bathroom cabinet
A practical beauty stop when you want to combine skincare, makeup, and haircare shopping in one visit. Consider booking a service separately if you want to turn an ordinary restock into some dedicated time for yourself.
Ulta Beauty
A useful stop to include in a Twelve Oaks shopping afternoon. Location: Lower level near Nordstrom at Twelve Oaks Mall.
What it offers: A beauty-shopping stop within the mall; the official mall directory confirms its location.
SEPHORA
Puck this - If you want to combine any Amazon returns with Sephora shopping spree.
SEPHORA at Kohl's
If I’m at 12 Oaks Malls there’s a fair chance I’m here. I love Macy’s because it caters to most of my shopping needs.
Macy's
Because this also has self-care! This is my top recommendation at Novi if enjoy massages and facials as much as I do.
MassageLuXe
Arts & Entertainment
The best movie experience in and near Novi! Bonus: there are a host of restaurants and breweries around the place to grab a meal or drinks at before/after the movies.
