Nonetheless, it's a great mix of retail boutiques & dining although you better bring a good chunk of change because the vast majority of it is pretty upscale. Some of my favorite spots here are Alfred Coffee for a quick pick-me-up, K Chocolatier for the best chocolate truffles EVER, and cb2 for housewares/furniture. I'm pretty sure they're not technically part of Malibu Country Mart (although more or less in the same plaza) but Broad Street Oyster Co and Prince Street Pizza are also worth a stop. There are quite a few fun outdoor features like a ping pong table, an oversized Connect Four board, a playground and sandbox for kids, and lots of outdoor seating. On a nice day it's fun to just come and people watch. There's also a Whole Foods with a really nice hot bar and olive bar if you want a cheaper food option for lunch. Gets pretty busy on the weekend and parking can be a challenge. There have been times that we've had to park across the street before. Worth a visit while in Malibu.

What a disappointment and a horrible way to treat customers. I will obviously not be returning.

Encore is a small clothing shop in cross creek shopping area in Malibu. While this shop had been…read morehere for a few years, it was my first time inside. To be honest, Fendi dragged me inside and liked the blue tie dye hoodie. The shop staff, maybe the owner, was cordial towards me and Fendi. There was a beautiful print long kaftan like dress that caught my attention. Upon inquiring, the shop owner was delighted and wanted me to try it on. This dress was the priciest item in the store, it figures! I'm always drawn to the spendy stuff :( When I don't have Fendi in tow, I'll return to try in on...although I know for a fact loose clothing looks better on a hanger than on me :/ form fitting looks better on my physiqué. The shop mostly has things tourists like. Everything from sweatshirts, hoodies and baseball caps in tie dye and labeled ' MALIBU' It goes without say, most locals will not wear this labeled MALIBU. Nonetheless very eye catching and cute and probably cool for some and worth a look see visit.

A shiny big hat inside Encore drew me in, see the pic. It was expensive, and I was told of a celeb who bought one. I looked around at the clothes, and they were more than just sharp, they were fun. And I'm a girl who loves to have fun. Then I spotted those green glasses on the counter. Tried them on, with the green outfit I was wearing. Found out they were on sale for 20% off. Enough. I was sold. But......the strength I needed had to be ordered, so that was done. And a few days later I got the call to pick them up. Obviously, service here is perfection. And friendly to boot. I told Encore's proprietor, Diana, all about Yelp. And now I'm telling Yelpers all about Encore. And not everything at Encore is expensive. My glasses ended up costing 50 bucks, not bad for great quality. And I got a matching green case as part of the deal. I would have paid 30 bucks for reading glasses at Walgreens, and they would have been ugleeeee, and minus the cool case. Momma Yelp will be rockin' those sweet green specs at the Holiday event, look out.

Packed with creative displays, quirky collections with Black Mirror vibes, random little nooks and crannies, and a backyard that feels like a bomb went off at Facebook Marketplace. A good spot to browse and wander. If you're coming to thrift, though, prepare yourself emotionally. Prices are not what anyone would call "thrifty." We did manage to uncover a treasure chest of 60s vintage silk scarves priced at $12-$20, so miracles do happen. But on the whole, it's about a three star spot for thrifting: finds, but very expensive. Staff was hands off, which I actually appreciate when browsing. Overall, a good place to wander around and take photos while pretending you might actually buy that $400 vintage letterman's jacket.

This is a review of the quaint little two-building shopping center on the west side of Topanga…read moreCanyon Boulevard in Topanga, just south of the post office and north of Topanga General Store. When I was a kid, I loved the TV show CHiPs. The show started when I was too young to form memories, but they showed reruns of old shows while they were still making new ones, and I have memories of watching so many of those. When my younger nephew was about eleven, we started watching CHiPs together, and my brother and I would laugh and reminisce about all the times we as children would make fun of just how fake the car-crash scenes were. But the show has its serious moments too, and for some reason, my nephew really liked watching it. Eight years later, we still haven't gotten through all of it, but about two years ago, we had just watched season 5's episode 5, "Weed Wars," before I drove down to Southern California to visit my parents. On one of our crazy excursions, I decided to try to find the filming location where Ponch and Jon enjoy ice cream with some down-on-their-luck kids and some obligatory hot women in the obligatory three-shot freeze frames that end almost every episode. I was a little discouraged at first, but we did randomly run across one of my dad's former students' architecture office, although he wasn't there at the time. I was ready to give up, but as we exited the shopping center on the east side of the road, I noticed what looked like the general store from CHiPs down below the grade on the west side of the road. Sure enough, it was the same general store! And the little courtyard in which the gang enjoys ice cream was also here, although the table setup was a little bit different. I had found it! and only forty-two years after that CHiPs episode was filmed here. I really really really wanted to recreate the closing freeze frames with my parents eating ice cream at the tables with weird expressions like Ponch and Jon, but forty-two years later, there's no longer an ice-cream shop here. I was going to go to the general store to see whether they had Drumsticks or any other sort of ice-cream-cone-looking dessert, and then I remembered that the complex on the other side of the highway had an ice-cream store, so yes, I drove my parents back across the road, which was way more complicated and time-consuming than I thought it would be, and we got ice cream and then walked back across the road, just for my photo shoot. Sadly, my parents have not given and probably will never give the green light for me to post those crazy photos on Yelp, but I'll ask again, just in case. It was one of my happiest moments of an otherwise very dark first three months of 2023, which included getting COVID, having my home of almost twenty years burn down, and losing a great uncle. The center itself is cute. Despite not having an ice-cream shop, it does have adorable little thrown-together shops that remind me of Carmel, circa 1987. Sadly, Carmel is super froufrou and exclusive and expensive now, so you won't find random candle shops and custom-hat shops there the way you'll find them in Topanga Center. The center comes right after or right before a major turn in Topanga Canyon Boulevard, depending on which direction you're coming from. It can be easy to miss, and if you do miss it, you might have to drive a bit before there's a safe place to turn around. While the shopping center across the road is on top of a hill, Topanga Center is below the level of the road, so be careful as you're driving down, because the ramp and parking lot are old and in pretty bad shape. CHiPs fans, you must come here and recreate the ice-cream freeze frames!

I'm here about a year later reposting this review because I guess the owner had it removed. The way…read morethe owner is attempting to censor me should be extremely telling.  I still think about this horrible experience every time I'm in Malibu, which is almost weekly. I went to another business in the plaza well after Zuma Jay's had already closed. The parking lot is extremely small and spaces are limited, so I ended up parked in a spot directly in front of his shop. I had a friend with me who stayed in the car, and I left it running because I was only going to be gone for no more than five minutes. I was upstairs in the other business for no more than 90 seconds when the owner stormed into someone else's establishment looking for me, yelling at me to turn my car off because it was blowing exhaust into his shop. And I say this because it is relevant, I drive a brand new, well maintained, luxury vehicle that does not just sit there emitting fumes like that. If his concerns were valid (they weren't) there were so many other ways this could have been handled. His shop was already closed. He could have simply closed his door, waited, or calmly approached me when I came back. Instead, he chose to come into another business and aggressively attack me.  When I finished my business and walked downstairs, I saw him trying to yell at my friend, who was still sitting in the car. She didn't engage with him because she genuinely thought he was a crazy homeless man harassing her. This interaction was completely unacceptable and left a lasting impression. I would stay away from this place and spend your money at a more respectful establishment that knows how to treat people professionally.
