Toy Depot is filled with all kinds of toys, which is great. But, the employee working there wasn't very nice. After picking out a product I wanted to purchase, I couldn't locate where the checkout stand was and realized once I did, some guy was sitting there asleep! I had to make some noise for him to wake up so he could ring me up. What the heck?! I get the place was empty, but sleeping on the job??? To make matters worse, his attitude towards me was unacceptable. Seems like he was grumpy from me waking him up from his power nap. I gave this place 2-stars instead of 1-star because I found what I wanted there.

Usually I'm passing through this center to go to Jo-Ann's. Half a lifetime ago, I worked in the…read moreplaza at a store that is no more. There have definitely been many changes over the years. It's not a glamorous shopping center, but it is large enough to provide a hub for some popular stores, and essential services. In addition to Jo-Ann's, Ralph's, HomeGoods, and CVS are long-time anchors. Recent addition, Marshall's, will soon has a neighbor in Tuesday morning building out now. Many small service businesses tuck in, like a dry cleaner, Lay-La Threading, a marshal arts studio, and tropical fish store. Food-wise, Carl's Jr. has a stand-alone location, recently fully renovated, with drive-through. Snapper Jack's Taco Shack is on the north end, near Jo-Ann's. Alpine German Deli has been a fixture for almost three decades. And Topper's Pizza - puh-leez. Let's talk white sauce sausage pizza. Amazing! Popular with families and sports teams, they keep late hours, which is unusual in T.O. Around the corner from Snapper Jack's and Jo-Ann's is the charming & delicious Little Calf Creamery, plus a florist and an urgent care clinic. I may have missed your go-to place in the plaza, so be sure to write a review, too!

The Lakes has really gone downhill when it comes to maintaining businesses. It's such a shame as…read morethe grounds are absolutely beautiful and they have plenty of parking here which would make this an easy and convenient destination for shoppers and diners. I'm assuming the rent must just be too high here as they can't keep businesses open for long. I feel for the businesses that are still here, there are pros and cons. I guess for the businesses that are still standing there is less competition for them which maybe is a plus but the bigger negative is that without cute shops and 50% or so of the businesses empty, you really are losing foot traffic. I really hope they can find a way to bring the lakes back to its former glory. As a positive I appreciate that they have kept the lakes and grounds nice. It's definitely a nice little path to walk after dinner and transports you into a more tranquil, beautiful place. I do like the restaurants that are here and just wish that there was more variety though and even some cute little stores to shop. I do hope Erewhon coming to this shopping center might give it a little boost. I understand not everyone wants these kind of stores creeping from LA into Ventura County but if it's going to bring business and some new eyes on this side of town, then I'm all for it. The lakes used to be a place I frequented when I first moved to Ventura County but much less over the years as businesses have come and gone. This area is very promising and I do hope we will see some growth in the next few years.

From Pier One to Tilly's, with Starbucks, Jamba Juice, Noah's Bagels, Men's Wearhouse, and other…read moreshops thrown in, this center came along within the past 15 years or so to anchor a spot on Moorpark Road at the foot of Thousand Oaks Blvd. A large fountain highlights the area with the food vendors, complete with rustic flooring tiles and landscaping to soften the space. It's somewhere you can hang out for a while and let the city's bustle pass you by. Don't count on the WiFi service, though. Something about the composition of the buildings seems to absorb the signals, so it's not the best place to try to work or even update something on your cell phone. There is plentiful free parking on the Moorpark side of the buildings, and also an area to the north side that can also be used as an overflow on that end of the plaza. While not a huge mall, the smaller, laid back venue seems to work well for this part of town. The Oaks is several blocks way, and ditto for Janss Marketplace. I like the way that the landscaping evokes a semi-tropical feel, adding to the casual appeal. We recently enjoyed sitting by the fountain, cool Starbucks' refreshing drinks in hand, followed by a browsing session at Pier One. All good!

It is an outdoor mall like the Village at Topanga. I come over here for retail therapy, to watch a movie or two, to entertain myself or have lunch and get my steps as well. Plenty of parking. Restrooms are clean. Enough eating places to choose from as well as retail stores. Dave and Busters is new (new for me because I haven't been here in a while ). Good entertainment for all ages.

Gorgeous day today and oddly there wasn't a crowd...could be because everyone was ducking down cold beverages inside a restaurant. Plenty of parking today so maybe everyone was at the beach. Anyway, it was a great family day. Funny we talk every day but when we get together it's like we have seen or heard from each other in a year. Gabbing and grubbing was lots of fun today. You can walk all around The Shoppes but you can also hop aboard the trolley, which is probably a great thing on the hot days. Target and a handful of spa like establishments so one could easily do a Target run, get a mani/pedi, lunch and treat afterwards and make a day of it. Nice change of scenery for those of us in the South Bay.

Just in time for the holidays, I took a series of several classes and started a new hobby. Since then, the center has evolved, even reconfiguring the layout of the buildings. It's now a sprawling "campus" of various buildings. The inner hub has lots of basics like Ralphs and Trader Joes for groceries, plus RiteAid, independent food places (pizza, Greek, Chinese, Italian, boba, vegan, etc.), Western Bagel, fitness studios, and a host of services. The outer buildings house banks and other financial service businesses. Chain restaurants like BJ's Brewhouse, Chick-Fil-A, and McDonalds help fill out the overall space. Parking is free. It can get tight at some of the sections of the center at busy times of day. Located at the northwest corner of Westlake and Thousand Oak Boulevards, it's an anchor location for the Westlake Village portion of Thousand Oaks. If you see a business listed with an address in the 3800 block of T.O. Blvd., it's probably in this center.
