From day one, she made us feel so confident, cared for, and completely at ease. Maddy (Megan's assistant) was just as incredible -- the two of them together are an absolute dream team. Even when we sadly got rained in, Megan and Maddy went above and beyond to create the most beautiful, graceful indoor setup. We completely forgot about the weather because everything inside was so stunning. The food was incredible, the communication was seamless, and every detail felt next level. On top of that, we had to make some last-minute modifications due to my dad's health, which understandably brought a lot of stress and big emotions. Megan and Maddy handled everything with such grace, compassion, and understanding. The way they supported us during that time is something we will truly never forget. We are beyond grateful for Megan, Maddy, and the entire team at The Crossings. They made our wedding day feel effortless, deeply personal, and unforgettable. We could not recommend them more.

Admission to tractor ride included picking a vegetable and animal feeding/petting. The market is adorable, and we really appreciated that many of the ingredients used in the prepared food sold are organic and locally sourced. We ordered the pizza and salad, and both were fresh and delicious; our kids enjoyed them too. Parking onsite is limited, but we had no trouble finding nearby street parking and walking over. There were also plenty of clean bathrooms, which is always a plus when visiting with young children. Overall, a fun, relaxing experience for families. Great place to take guests.

Lime zest was sprinkled over the cookie in addition to some coconut flakes and a glaze over part of the cookie. Definitely a re-buy. Tried a new-to-me Kombucha as well. There are so many items in the market, but it doesn't feel crowded. I was able to get the last bag of Steep & Sourdough English Muffin Sourdough Bagels. I just noticed that there is a little sticker on the bag - Best in Show from the 2026 San Diego County Fair. Now I'm extra-glad I picked them up! I wish the pizzas offered a vegan cheese. The tacos had one vegan taco, but as an fyi, their beans are vegan. There is a great open space for picnicking, playing, or watching soccer! Fun little playground with a great tree to play on.

We were looking for a venue that felt like an elevated backyard wedding, and this perfectly fit the bill. The flow of the event space from where the ceremony is held, to the cocktail hour, to the reception to the dance floor felt like everywhere had a specific place and purpose, but allowed for guests to still have places to talk outside of just sitting at the if they didn't want to be on the dance floor. It still felt like everyone was in the mix of the night, even if they were playing some provided games like corn hole, or sitting above the reception area and viewing everyone else from above. We got so many compliments of the space as well as the food! Personal Touch dining is included in the venue fee, which was such a relief because they had the best food options and amazing staff! I didn't have to worry about anything involving catering because everything was handled for us. Side note, we randomly got so many compliments about the garlic mashed potatoes and the mini churros in chocolate, LOL. We got so lucky with Ashely W. as our event coordinator throughout the process and the day of. She was so calm cool and collected the entire day, kept us on track with our agenda, all with the smile on her face. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a seamless, beautiful elevated backyard wedding vibe!

Stopped by Kids & Coffee on a short staycation in SD, and it was incredible! The space was so much…read morebigger than we expected and had plenty to do for our kids. Our oldest loved the large play structures and the youngest loved the trampoline and block building area. The cafe team was great and served us quickly, and we were impressed by the number of food items available. The coffee was alright - not amazing - but not terrible. One thing to note if you go is that the café is tucked into a corner so not every seat from the café has a line of site to the play area. And if you have drinks, you have to stay in the café. So if you were planning on having a relaxing coffee, while watching your kids from afar, that is not exactly an option. My only note for improvement would be for the staff to do a little more to help manage particularly physical/destructive children, if/when the parents are not doing enough. When we visited, there was one young child who was running around knocking kids over, knocking over blocks, and just generally being really hyper. That is totally understandable for a young kid, but the parents were nowhere to be found, and the staff clearly looks concerned, but didn't really do anything to help mitigate the situation.
