Natas Pastries on Thousand Oaks Boulevard has closed its doors. This Portuguese bakery and eatery opened in September 2017. The owner will be focusing energy on her original Sherman Oaks location, which has been in operation for 14 years.
The Thousand Oaks location opened in July 2017 at 2388 Thousand Oaks Boulevard.
After the shock of hearing that both Brendan’s Irish Pub and Restaurant locations closed their doors today, it was another surprise to hear this afternoon that Cafe Firernze in Moorpark is also closing its doors…TODAY.
Management indicated its lease had ended after 11 years in operation and they were unable to reach an agreement on new lease terms.
Let’s hope for some better news as we make our way into the new year.
Very sad to report that today, Brendan’s Irish Pub and Restaurant announced that it has closed both its original Camarillo location and its second location in Newbury Park, next to the Palm Garden Hotel.
The Agoura Hills location closed earlier in 2019.
Brendan’s Camarillo originally opened on January 15, 2011. I was there when they were unloading items shipped in directly from Ireland to decorate the place. They’ve had a good nine year run there, but still sad to seem them go.
Brendan’s Newbury Park opened on October 8, 2012.
No word on what’s next for these locations. The Newbury Park location is physically connected to the Palm Garden Hotel and Spa, so it would seem there would be a desire for a new operator there soon. Stay tuned.

Joining a growing list of local area Subway closures is the Subway in the North Ranch Gateway (aka TJ Maxx Plaza) at 30817 Thousand Oaks Boulevard, Westlake Village. This is disappointing to me personally as I’ve been to this Subway a number of times and always enjoyed it.
Folks may joke about how many Subway Sandwich eateries there are, but there really has been a noticeable drop, with Subway closures in Newbury Park (two of them) in 2016, at Janss Marketplace Thousand Oaks a few months ago, Subway in the Simi Valley Civic Center Plaza last month and the Conejo Valley Plaza Shopping Center in June 2016.
Eric S reached out via the Conejo Valley Guide Facebook Page that the Subway located in the Simi Valley Civic Center Plaza at 2667 Tapo Canyon Road recently closed. That takes the Subway count in Simi Valley down to 3 locations. www.subway.com
Theresa C sent over this picture via the Conejo Valley Guide Facebook Page indicating Bubbers Bowls, a place that served up acai bowls, juices and smoothies at The Shoppes at Westlake Village, is closed. I can confirm that the website is down and no one answers the phone.
Five years ago, in October 2004, Bowl of Heaven opened here and a couple years later changed their name to Bubbers Bowls. If you're looking for another acai bowl option in that vicinity, I will say that for $5, the acai bowls at the Costco food court is not bad! My youngest enjoys the acai bowls at Ubatuba in Thousand Oaks.
