No one wants to listen to the banging & yelling of skateboarders while they're trying to enjoy a relaxing dinner, and last time I was there, one driver in the parking lot was yelling obscenities at another driver & threatened to "cap" them. This doesn't create an atmosphere that's going to attract families or out-of-town visitors. Perhaps it's time for University Plaza to invest in a security guard or two.

Prices were on the higher side, which isn't surprising for the area, but it was still fun to browse. A bit disappointing that several stores were closed during my visit, so it felt quieter than expected. I've heard they host a Poodle Parade here, which sounds adorable -- I would've loved to see that! Overall, a pleasant but not particularly memorable stop.

Just had an awful experience with Mike the crossroads employee. Maybe he's been here too long maybe…read morehe needs a raise? In the dark at 530 this morning he placed cones behind my car. He was wearing all black so I didn't know who the person was or why he was doing that and I didn't confront him. He then walked away. Imagine you pull into a public parking lot open to the public, run in to Safeway and get coffee and a donut and sit in your car to read emails while you have your morning snack and along comes a guy in all black who starts placing cones around your car. I waited until he was gone and I got out to move them so I could leave and out of no where he comes running up saying 'I'll do that!' Looking back on it all I was parked at the end of a row of spaces so he could have coned off all the spaces except mine and none of this confrontation would happen. Anyway while he moves the cones he asks if I work there. What the heck? You're in all black placing cones around cars early in the morning and then asking people if they work for Safeway? I ask him if he works there because he is the one placing cones around cars. I called the management to complain and got an actual human being on the third call. So grateful for that! That's excellent customer service. Expressed my concern and then found the guy again later who now had on a high vis vest on and driving an official crossroad vehicle. When I asked him for his name (Mike) he asked for mine. Seemed a bit confrontational when I told him I wasn't giving my name. I'm the customer who was trying to use services provided by the crossroads shopping center being treated poorly by untrained staff with a police ego, bad form crossroads. Do better. Stop confronting customers after hours in the dark while wearing all black.

My experiences with The Barnyard go back many decades. I have a dear friend who lives nearby,…read morehaving settled there after college. She quickly learned about places that locals love when the tourists aren't out in force. It was really helpful to learn from her insider knowledge during trips to visit her. When I used to live in the Bay Area, Carmel jaunts were more frequent. Now that I reside in SoCal, it's not someplace we get to visit that often. As such, it was a treat to get a chance to get back to The Barnyard recently. Our pal suggested meeting at From Scratch for breakfast. She relies on their food, and the location in The Barnyard is an added plus. Parking is free, and there's a reasonable amount of it. Now that I'm older and my knees not as flexible or forgiving as they used to be, I became aware that the many undulating levels and staircases throughout the property add visual interest, but mobility challenges. We entered from the north and it took a bit of navigating to find the restaurant. As we didn't want to be late meeting our friend, we didn't fully take in all there was to see about the unique architecture and many flower beds and other landscaping features of the shopping center. We were there on a Monday morning and it didn't seem like a lot of the shops were open yet at 10:30 a.m. It was definitely on the quiet side at that day and time. I did note a few upscale boutiques for clothing and home decor. If the weather had been nicer, and more time free for shopping / browsing it would have been great to wander around after breakfast. I did love seeing the large rows of Pride of Madeira flower bushes on the perimeter of the property. They show off well in this center where many lovely flowers call home in a unique setting.

Whether you're visiting Monterey for the first time or you've been here before, it's a great place to shop, snack, and enjoy the coastal atmosphere.

While we're there it's always nice to stroll around the grounds which are impeccably and beautifully maintained. Alas, accessibility is not a strong suit as there are small groupings of stairs everywhere you turn! The stores are mostly upscale with accompanying prices; if you have good taste - but desire a bargain - you'll have your work cut out finding it here. Also many stores seem to be closed several days of the week. I'm not sure why, but The Barnyard has been near deserted on our last couple visits. Deserted to the point where it seemed we were the only people there! Such a difference from downtown Carmel which is usually bustling. It would be a shame to see this beautiful place go under, but they need to do something different to attract customers...
