My favorite grocery store is here, Safeway, and they carry everything i nerd for the kitchen. From produce to cakes to meats.

Sunshine Donuts and Coffee offers good donuts, delicious bagels and tasty handheld breakfast items. Their coffee is good too! There is a Dry Cleaner here and a couple of Real Estate Offices.

Shop and dine local folks, let's keep our businesses alive!

I live around the corner from the shopping center and used to frequent it several times a week…read more However, I don't know who is responsible for the property as a whole but they need to get it together and clean it up. It doesn't matter what time of day you go or to what store ...the entire plaza looks like a trash dump. In front of VONS and the cleaners and the bank the trash cans are always overflowing and there is trash blowing all over the lawn and sidewalks. I don't understand how anybody who owns a business in there can walk into their store and walk by all the trash and not do something about it. I have taken my business elsewhere. It's starting to look like downtown Santa Cruz.

Stopped by Crossroads Carmel before checking into my hotel downtown. It's a small, cute shopping…read morecenter with a handful of eateries and boutique shops. 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.

Missing limbs. Stressed. Toxic Painted shells. I wanted to help offering jungle bedding and food and they would not accept. The sales woman was rude and rolled her eyes at me. I offered my number in case one got sick and another employee ripped the number when I walked out. I have been polite. I have stopped by 4 times for the past 3 months and have seen little effort of improvement. No animal, no matter how small, deserves to be doomed to a shortened, horrendous life.

Changes Color In The Sun - How Fun!!…read more Dol Sol sells clothing and accessories which change from white/clear to a color in the sunshine. Monterey tourist T-shirts, board shorts, tote bags, frisbee, hats even nail polish. This shop is fun to just play in as there are little UV "charging stations" all around the shop so you can run around and hold each item up to the UV source and watch how and what color each item morphs into! Black and white ladies board shorts = pink flowers ooooh . . . clear glitter nail polish = sparkly red nails sweeet . . . clear child's headband = multicolored red/blue/green ahhh! After playing with just about everything in the store ended up with a couple $3 key chains and some hair clips for $8.

Selection of restaurants, stores pretty good. Parking lot is pretty extensive…read more The one down side is the quality of character of some of the people attracted to the shopping center. 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.
