Nice area to relax, shop, eat, and visit some really cute little turtles and giant koi fish

Huge shopping center with several department stores and many restaurants too. Also has a furniture store, Daiso etc. There is ample parking. Very popular place.

I absolutely love Krispy Kreme! Being from southern California, all of the locations were shut down, so I couldn't ever find one. Now that there's one just down the street I go rarely so I don't get burnt out on it and my husband isn't a donut person so I always end up eating a dozen classics by myself! They are always warm and soft and bring that childish nostalgic memory of my mom giving birth to my little sister and asking my grandma to go to grab Krispy Kreme. She did, of course. When she got back with 1 dozen of those heavenly, sweet, sparkly, round pillows my mom exchanged with grandma my new wrinkly, cranky, winey, sweet new baby sister with the box and she ate evERY SINGle one while we watched. Pure torture. But my lovely grandma went back and got 2 more dozens for us all. And now my mother gets a FaceTime every time I am eating these, and we laugh about thet 22 yo memory. BUT I must be fair, every single time I've gotten coffee there, it tastes like water. Stick to the donuts. Skip the drinks.

I CANT EVEN WITH THE SHOPPING CENTER. it is so cute and i love going to five below 😍. and the fact its right next to the veranda makes it TWICE AS good. anybody looking to go here i suggest going to Fuddruckers too.

The willows shopping center is a great place for family significant others daves daves or just A-day out they have many activities they have shopping eating ice cream, And family activities. I do recommend this place for a great day out.. I love bringing the kids here They truly have A-blast we either go shopping theater theater or gaming. Regardless of the activity you choose you will have fun.

The over all place is great. There are lots of stores and restaurants you can go to. For example, theres Jamba Juice, Eureka, Krispy Kreme, Old Navy, Ulta Beauty and more.

Always enjoy the variety and quality of the shops present. Customer service is also great.

Nice, upscale(ish)selection of shops and eateries. WAY too crowded without enough parking. We ate at Texas de Brazil. The service and food was on point, but the noise level was very high. Their interior design offers NO sound dampening too the point that it took away from the experience.

Fun place to shop around.. ! It's two level shopping mall, clean, lots of eater, kids friendly, spacious, open lounge to rest and shop, parking and public restrooms convenient. Free ♿ to disabled..plus point.

Amazing place to shop for everyone pleasures and beautiful setting for date night with friends and love ones. The Veranda movie theater is amazing place to watch your favorite movie at and you have restaurants galore at your feet everywhere you turn.

The shopping center has public restrooms marked on the map but they're locked down so don't bother. Checked at 3pm on a Sunday. Thumbs-up to the REI though!

It's got Eureka Jamba juice, Daiso and REI, I'm in heaven.

Trying to escape the heat from my home we came to Ocean Beach for a little fun. My kids did not come prepared for the drop in temperature! Having grown up in San Francisco I knew to bring extra clothes and especially a sweater. We had a lot of fun despite the cool weather. The sand is so soft, it felt great between the toes!

I believe I was in the center to go to the Krispy Kreme. I was getting my dozen donuts for my birthday for a performance I had going on. I was there quite early in the morning, I want to say about 11:00 a.m., so there wasn't that many people in the area, but it was a lot of traffic in the area just to get into the center. Not the fault of the center though. Just how traffic works on the weekend.

Nice shops, I go here for a facial but there is also a store for workout clothes and shoes, old navy and restaurants.

The Willows has been around for quite some many years and although there have been numerous changes to the various stores or restaurants, the quality is always top notch and generally well priced.

Everything you need in one convenient location! I stopped by here after visiting the water park just blocks away. Had a nice lunch at Panera and noticed a lot of great shops to check out for a future visit. I had no problems with parking on a Sunday afternoon. Will come back to check out more for a future visit!

Ike’s sandwiches is great but I’m upset that the REI still isn’t doing the climbing wall

This place has seen better days. Still a couple of decent restaurants and blessedly Panera Bread has remained in place, but the center desperately needs refreshing. If there's an argument that 'brick and mortar' retailing is failing then this shopping center...which only a few years ago was a bright spot in CC County...tops the nearby Sun Valley Mall as a view of the past.

Lazy Dog Restaurant is a favorite of my husband and I. We are eating our way through the menu and have never been disappointed. Every time ~ go to appetizers are the Fried Devil Eggs and the Calamari

There always seems to be a lot of traffic in the parking lots but things are spaced out enough it’s generally not too much of an issue.

Not in love with all the speed bumps and stop signs and customers not stopping or slowing at intersections but the stores are good and the people working there have always been helpful and patient. The not fun stuff doesn't keep me away, it just slows me down...

I like coming to this side of the shopping center, not because it has Daiso and Half Price Book Store, but it's quieter, more parking and easy to get and walk around in. Across from Half Price Books is the Halloween Store, and the other corner would be Jamba Juice and Old Navy.

Took my granddaughter there for her 21st birthday and she loved it, good food is always even for a vegetarian

We've loved this place for years. Fuddrucker's is a favorite, Their ostrich and elk burgers rock! The Daiso store there is wonderful. We've also had some celebrations at Lazy Dog and Benihana. For the old timers, remember the sushi palace with the boats that belonged to Joe DiMaggio's nephew? We STILL miss that place!

I’d give this a 4 star because both Khabir Pass and Los Pericos are great restaurants, but the parking lot is like an off-road adventure and needs repaving and this reviews is do’s the shopping center as a whole.

Lots of new stores and felt clean and safe

Love visiting Krispy Kreme and Panara Bread. Free parking. Trees offer shade.

I have been to this area in over 5 years and I have say it's awesome! Plenty of places to eat, outdoor hang outs and entertainment.

Went to the bookstore on a whim looking for a book and they had it I still read a lot of books so this is a great place

I had the bacon wrapped bison meatloaf. It was very tasty. Service was friendly and attentive. I recommend Lazy Dog to anyone wanting a casual place for some good food.

I've been going to the Willows since it opened. It's never quite made it, though it has Half Price Books which is an awesome store but unfortunately, more empty stores than occupied ones. For the most part it's just a parking lot for the Veranda next door.

Our car got broken into. The local business had a camera pointed where we were parked and refused to help with footage. Be careful when parking here!

Very nice shopping center. Great grocery store!!

Krispy Kreme and Fuddruckers are my go-to's but theres lots of good choices all around

I had a great experience there and an even better salesperson. Darius helped me a great deal. I explained to him my vision and he produced it along with options. He was very eager to assist me with all that I needed.

The donut place drive thru line is always crowded and if you parked anywhere nearby, good luck when you are trying to leave. It is a very badly designed parking lot. Other than that, the parking space is good and they are close enough to get to all the shops around the lot.

Its really mice to go there with some one or just for a walk most of. The places ar close do to covid but still ia good place to go

Went In July 10th to get my son donuts for his 13th birthday. A dozen donuts is about 20$ now and they tasted like they were days old. I was surprised at the big jump in pricing from the last time I went but atleast they used to always have fresh good donuts. This made me never want another Krispy Kreme ever again 😢

My first time there, it was nice.

Love panera. Outside seating is well coordinated and have plenty seatings for most customers

Glazed doughnuts were not fresh. They tasted like they were day old.

Good experience!

Nice

Dine at Lazy Dog the food is delicious.

Need some extremely overpriced winter wear or ski/snowboard gear? You have surely found the right place then. Don't even think about coming here if you make less than six figures

Love this store

Place is pretty good. Some restaurants, some bars, shopping places around this, and not far from the theater. Came for Daiso. Had to wait outside for a bit, but didn't wait for long. There's a few Pokéstops around the area, so didn't get bored.

REI helpful and got what I wanted

Clean. Nice shopping center. No too many creepers. Lol

It is nice shopping center to go to because the banks and the shops located there are well kept and easily accessible. I like the parking lot and they are spacious and it is easy to park there.

Great place. They are very friendly. Food is very tasty. If you love mexican food it's so worth it.They are so worth it.

I come here often. I shop at Half Price Books. Also, sometimes I'll pick up lunch at the sandwich shop across from Half Price Books.

Love the donuts so fresh . Not very busy, but it was lunch time.

Lots of people and lots of traffic..went to Fuddruckers and had lunch the restaurant was very clean and up to covid standards. Had a good lunch

We shop at REI, Half-Priced Books, and Fuddruckers; happy they are conveniently located.

Went to Krispy Kreme. Only drive through available. Ordered a dozen glazed and a dozen mixed. They asked if I wanted to chose the mixed. No, as I didn't want to hold up the line. When I got to work, they had put 3 glazed in the mixed box. Hello? I already had a dozen of those. Didn't think I had to specify NO GLAZED in the mix. Live and learn.

I like shopping there

It's not so crowded as other places and I have been always able to find a parking space close to where I am going.

Always nice to visit The Willows Shopping Center. Went to lunch at the Panera Bread Restaurant. Very Yummy!

Awesome

Enjoyed window shopping over the Easter Holiday. Some shops were closed. A few were open and I ventured in.. Nice variety of trendy and fashionable clothes, plants, accessories,candies ...lots of staff on site yet...too busy to welcome customers in or acknowledge. But, it's typical retail shopping . A few store are beyond exceptional..Will continue shopping ..

This is a nice shopping center located in the Concord, California area. It is close to many nearby communities. While it is an older more mature shopping center it has been fairly well maintained. The parking lot has easy access and entrances to all the shops in it are close by.

I just went there this afternoon found a parking spot right up front was helped very quickly I got in and out very fast. It probably helps that all the restaurants are only doing take out so there was plenty of parking but it was a great experience I would recommend for anyone

It's REI now(and for many years), not Any Mountain. They went out of business. Great bike shop. Honestly I don't use their service, but they're super knowledgeable, cool and professional. The store has had everything I've needed when I needed it at a fair price. Oh, they have all the other sporting stuff too! Lol.

Great place to visit! Many great stores and restaurants, (especially Benihana's Restaurant!). Easy parking and I love to shop at REI. I do most of my Christmas shopping at REI in the Willows Shopping Center. I can find something special for everyone on my list.

Very nice a quite Shopping center. It can get busy but the stores are mixed well with shopping and eateries. Nice place to go for and outdoor shopping day

Went to Bank of the West only to find out they were already closed. There was an employee inside who was very sweet to help my friend, who just had knee surgery, get what she needed. Thank you!

Used to come here as a kid gor Chucky cheese. This time was for krispy cream lol i didnt do anymore than that but it looks clean and BIG!

Nice center. Variety of shops and dining.
