Quality/Quantity - My wife tricked me into coming here with her…read more.. She said we will be in and out, but 2+ hours later... Can you add a bar, or brewery here!?! I do not even like Starbucks here... And I used to frequent them often. I did find a few shirts I liked at Marshalls, but did not buy as I just have way too many. Discovered Tesla charging stations "hidden" in the rear of the center, see picture. I have to admit, when we did NOT know better approximately 20 years ago, we used to come here often. But the environment has changed, and not for the better. Way busier, more car break-ins, more poor drivers, etc. And really no brands that I personally shop. Plus, we now have the Livermore outlets! Which is still my favorite! Atmosphere - 23 businesses, see website. Crazy busy on weekends. Limited parking. Potential car break-ins; see parking lot signs. Public restrooms near Starbucks, good luck. You do not even have a rideshare drop off/pick up area. Open 7 days a week. Service - Depends on where you shop. Price - Outlet pricing. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1998, we have been customers since then.

I wish this place is open earlier. Weekends can be packed…read more Kinda hard to find parking. So I go on weekdays. It's pretty chill. I really just go to 3-4 stores there. And I like it because I don't have to do long walks from one store to another. It has 3 food places, which include Starbucks. It's a closer outlet and it's not crowded. My type of outlet.

I've been here for Rigatoni's, Bank of the West (Now BMO), Health Unlimited, and iSushi. On the other side was a Safeway, Ross, Castro Valley Bowl along with other businesses. This place is usually pretty busy, lots of different types of businesses here!!

Lots of parking available right now. Usually it's packed. *this was written in the moment of a…read moreprevious check-in. Update: after coming to the Village Shopping Center additional times since my above comment had been notarized, there are days or perhaps certain times of the day where the parking lot appears empty and it is easy to find parking, while on the majority of times / days I have been - they are usually packed with hardly any parking avail. Sometimes I have been lucky to snag a spot where someone was just about to back out. The spaces are kind of tight and narrow pathways, drive slowly! There are a lot of businesses that have remained here since I was a child and student at CVHS. Lots of new fronts and name changes to others. I haven't taken a stroll around the entire center, but there's a drug store, ice cream parlor, discounted home goods, apparel stores, fitness businesses, specialty goods and boutiques, bakeries, coffee shops, cafes, restaurants, the bowling alley is still here, nail salons, juicers, and more. Since its the holiday time, they had a tree lighting ceremony advertised. I thought that was a nice community event that might bring people and families together, though I questioned where the tree was going to be due to the tight space. I would want this center to continue to have a lot of business - good businesses here. I want to see CV's downtown area become an area that I would like to frequent or go to vs. driving to Danville or Walnut Creek or San Ramon. I hope there would be ways to create more parking around the area while increasing the businesses or being strategic in which new businesses should open to create a thriving atmosphere.

Good restaurant here however horrible parking. I enjoy the restaurant here, has a good variety of…read moregood, Japanese, Chineses, Mexican, American breakfast and more stores here and there. Great place for small business. Parking is horrible Pay parking from like 7-6pm or something. Even on weekends, which sucks since you think you pay eating at the restaurants, it be free like most places. Best advice is to go across the street to Safeway or the other business since those lots aren't charging. Even the street parking near pelton plaza is charging. But other plaza don't. The enforcers circle the lot and only this lot only. Went to go pick up my drinks, left a minute. Came back for a ticket. Looks like they stake out to check if drivers leave for a moment and ticket them right away. Watch them patrol the plaza, they don't leave, just circle the same plaza and watch. Rewriting this since my previous post got flagged for "not enough information about my experience as a customer" Never happened before especially if I wrote a 2 sentence review

I used to come here way back when quite often, but I'm happy this mall is still here and open…read more I come here mostly for Mens clothing, which they have a lot of, rather it be casual or suits. They also have a good selection of dress shoes for men if you can find your size. The prices?? Well, they are decent, not as cheap as before, sometimes, you might be able to negotiate the price in some stores. Don't quote me on that though, if you know what I mean. I always see my folks in the jewelry section, so there's that. Located in East Oakland (Yeah, that's right), the larger parking lot is in the back, which I suggest since it's easier to get in and out of. Maybe it's me, but I've always liked coming here!!

"Greenhouse Marketplace" is a large open-air shopping mall in San Leandro, CA. It was opened in the…read moremid-1980's, and its website says it currently has 44 tenants. It's got a prime location right next to the I-880 & I-238 freeway junction. Why is it called "Greenhouse" Marketplace? Because before this triangular piece of land was developed into a shopping center, it was the home of rows of greenhouses. You could see them from the freeway. Long rows of glass topped greenhouses. Today it's home to a variety of stores, shops, and restaurants. It's a nice place to stop and take a break while passing thru town. Anchor stores include- Safeway, CVS, and FoodMaxx. What's negative about this place? There are some empty storefronts. The parking lot has a weird design. It probably looked fine on paper, but in reality, it's like "free style" driving. Cars are coming from different directions and there seems to be a lack of stop signs and/or traffic flow signage. Then some people think it's okay to just drive across empty parking spaces. I've never had a problem because I always stop before someone runs into me. But if you are in the area of Lewelling Blvd & I-880, drop by and visit the Greenhouse Marketplace. If you enter from Washington Ave, you will be greeted by a McDonalds and a Jack in the Box. Lots of free parking!

This is a solid shopping center in the downtown area. I'm attempting to review all of the places in the center and almost forgot to review the center itself! There is a nice selection of food, services and shopping here. There is a Walgreens for your home and personal needs, including prescriptions. My only complaint about the center is that the parking is less than desirable. It's always a waiting game no matter when I go. I usually ah e to park and walk a little bit to get to my desired location. All in all, this is a nice little shopping area for our town. I'd be even happier if things stayed open later but as long as a double check hours before going, I am usually good to go.

I got my first pair of these last year, loved them, and the fact I was able to get some pairs for $40 (more than 50% off regular) is a great deal. Something I learned is to ask the employees to see if they have extra sizes in the back. The shoe selection for the 9.5 wearers has been kinda weak though. While they have more shoes out on the racks, I feel like the hidden gem is harder to find. The shorts, hoodie and crew neck selection has been pretty solid lately as well. I lot of them are in the $19-30 range. My workout shirt wardrobe needed a refresh, I was able to find a bunch for $14-20. As someone who doesn't like paying full price online, this store continues to be a staple whenever I'm in the area. Selfishly I wish they had more golf polos lol
