Malibu Lumber Yard

Fun addition to the area! While there are not many stores, I love pretty much every single one which is rare. Usually there will only be a store or two in any other area that I like but here I can stroll through the area and find great things everywhere! Well maintained, tons of seating, and prices are not as bad as you would think given the area. Service is super nice at all the stores too, so glad I stopped by!

its nice to have a local lumber yard in town. so we don’t need to go all the way to HD in the VAL! Good service and good selection

Love to visit when my best friend is here from France. We enjoy the laid back Malibu vibe and the cool shops! Great sandwich shop here too!

The Malibu Lumberyard is a small elegant shopping center with about 15 stores and restaurants. At their opening, I believe there were more as the upstairs was filled out and now feels vacant. The shopping center has had some turn-​over since opening several years ago. Larger stores such as J Crew, Kitson, Madison, James Perse, remain as does Café Habana which has alway been the best place to eat.
There’s a really cool-​looking Quicksiliver-​Roxy concept store and Intermix has a good sized place. The shopping center prides itself on being a «No Paparazzi Zone» and their laid back décor. I love the aquariums and open seating areas plus the free valet parking.
Every now and then, the LumberYard becomes very crowded, but do to the low volume stores, it’s a relatively quiet spot. I miss the chocolate box place, but there’s no way they make it.
I was happy to see the gallery finally re-​opened after being close for a few years. Nice place to venture around and there’s other spots close by worth checking into.

Save outlet mall purchases for another day; enjoy boutique shopping, a nice Italian restaurant, and an awesome beach-​side environment here in Malibu. Ping pong is ‘on’ outside the James Perse shop, right by the hanger-​like Maxfield (JP’s dad). Just take PCH up past Pepperdine and follow all the Range Rovers to Malibu’s Lumber Yard/​Country Mart complex for plenty of free parking. Farmers market on Sunday for those gluten-​free dog bones you cannot purchase elsewhere. A hit!

My number one favorite shopping mall.
Love the wood deck, fresh ocean air, and nice sophisticated atmosphere of the mall.
If you’re a girl you’ll mostly feel like you wish you had more money. They have super hip boutiques like intermix, madison which always have good selections for clothes/​shoes and accessories, and usually they’re kind of pricey! Well I still go there and shop though.
There are good restaurants which I really love too. Always good to be back to this mall.

This place has California charm. And not old outdated charm like the country mart. The architecture is inspiring. The lower level shops are high quality. The upper level needs better leasing but this should come. It is much more adult focused — no big kids play areas. The retailers are high quality to fit the locals and tourist. I hope it can expand in the future because more of it would be great.

First time to visit Malibu. I was shocked at the lack of trinkets shops. I love to buy trinkets for the employees I supervise but was not able to find anything. The shops are unique. The place we ate was sub-​par, service was delivered by a very arrogant waiter and then to top it all off I got food poisoning. Over all sad about the lack of shopping and tourist knickknack opportunity.

Jim and Steven: You rule! Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge! All the best, 3P

Wood hasn’t cost this much since the great depression. A $$$ lumber yard? hahaha, must be Malibu.
Ya feel me?

Not a huge shopping center, just a good small selection of shops.
Go shopping, grab a bite to eat at Café Habana and then get some desserts at Crumbs Cupcakes and Chocolate Box Café.

Great place, protected from wind, beautiful setting, cool stores, comfortable seating area.
I do feel sorry for the fishes in the aquariums.

Wait, this is the Country Mart, isn’t it? No, it’s over there. Across the street. Sort of…
The Lumber Yard doesn’t have a Home Depot or Lowe’s. Just a Kitson instead along with a few other shops and restaurant. Best thing is the have a branch of Crumbs Cupcakes and Chocolate Box Café. For fashion, a guy isn’t going to find much here beyond the tacky Kitson although James Perse is pretty nice. They had a food truck outside as well albeit it was Pressed Juices while I was there and so I guess it’s really a juice truck. Still decent, overpriced shopping center save for the über-​tacky Kitson.

Yay!
This is a cute little shopping area, rather small, but cool and fun. There’s a tiny little aquarium and a ping pong table to keep kids occupied while you shop (if you need that relief) and a few seating areas and some comfy chairs outside of James Perse if you need to relax.

Not sure what all the fuss is about. It’s interesting and has some cool stores, but it’s not WOW or anything. The aquarium is small and I actually walked right by before I noticed it. The James Perse store is probably the most interesting thing here.
The bathrooms are totally gross and there were little girls running around barefoot in there. Gross!

Considering there aren’t that many places in Malibu to chill with character this place is pretty good. It is small and I can see during the summer months it is probably really crowded and hard to find seating. With little kids there are some stores you can shop and walk out with expensive useless toys or just plop them in front of the small aquarium (small). They can run around… there are a lot of dogs so if your kids are afraid of them maybe you don’t let them run. Next door is the Country Mart area… where there is a nice kids playground in the middle. Park there or here and just walk.

This is a cute LITTLE shopping center with essentials such as James Perse, Intermix, La Perla, Maxfield, Alice + Olivia, Crumbs…
The vibe here is the complete opposite of The Grove. And I mean that in a good way. While The Grove is a shopping center that is almost always overcrowded and well honestly not such a good place to actually shop, MLY is more upscale, next to the ocean, has some quality shops and is right across the street form the malibu country mart.
If you’re going to be in «The Bu» stop by the lumberyard, but dont make a trip just to come shop here its TINY and any shopaholic will tear through this place in 45 mins flat.

Love the look of this place! However, the hype about this wonderful, awesome new mall in Malibu was misleading. My hubby and I were ready to spend a couple hours shopping around and checking out the architecture of the mall only come to find out that it is TINY. It’s not necessarily a bad thing that it is small; but I feel that you should know before you get too excited.
The Lumberyard has a very relaxing feel to it and it just calls out to you to sit down and relax in their extra comfy chairs all throughout. We enjoyed a nice conversation up at the top deck with the sun shining down on us. There was a gelato place that looked delicious and a cupcakery, Crumbs, that had some delicious cupcakes. It is like a doughnut shop but for cupcakes! We loved it.
Definitely check this place out if you are in town — but don’t travel to Malibu just to see it.

I was looking forward to experiencing this shopping area, however it took less than an hour and beyond the fact of the coolest, smallest Jcrew I have ever meandered through or the purchase of some delicious mini cupcakes from Crumbs I was perplexed on the hype over this place.
It is a cool little stop if you have an hour, otherwise much better places to go and experience.

OK, I have a new favorite shopping center. It is architecturally inspiring — designed around a central courtyard with picnic tables and lounge chairs. Today there was a outdoor bar b que going on, but we had Crumb’s cupcakes for lunch instead. There are just a few shops here – but they are fabulous – Alice + Olivia, Theory, James Perse and Maxfield. There’s Juicy and Ron Herman and Madison nearby as well.
There’s a ping pong table too in case your boyfriend loses his shopping enthusiasm…
This is a really relaxing, fun and vacationy place to shop.
