Mendocino Farms - CA 95008

This sandwich spot knows how to pack a punch of flavor - whether you’re a meat lover or all about the vegan life - this place is a must-visit! My vegan Banh Mi sandwich had fresh ingredients and creative combinations that made me rethink what a sandwich can be. The sweet potato soup was smooth and velvety with a touch of savory depth. Every Thursday, kids eat free, making this not just a great place for a meal but a welcoming space for families. Plus, they throw in crayons and coloring pages to keep the little ones entertained. Friendly staff and generous portions - this is the kind of spot that keeps you coming back.

The staff was friendly and the food was great. I love the guava lemonade! I appreciate the wide variety of vegetarian options. Restaurant was clean!

Our family go to on Thursday for their special. The outdoor seating is great. Staff is friendly and prompt

Such a spacious and cute location with lots of outdoor seatings! Lovely decorated with wall plants and string lights, it's automatically a Yes for a dog mom like me who loves to bring their fur baby with them in all the eating adventures. The inside of the store is lovely as well with ample lighting and variation of bar-type seating areas by the windows or more private booths. You spot again the plant decoration throughout the store which makes the inside just as refreshing and inviting as the outside area. Head straight down to cashier area, order whatever calling for you, grab the receipt from with the order number on it from the cashier and feel free to head back to your table. You can grab a cup too and self serve yourself water if needed to. Once you're back to your table, scan the QR code on the table and enter your order #. That way, the staff know where you're seating to bring your orders to. I love that they have a screen with the menu displayed on an iPad-looking device which each is attached to each cash register. I can easily pick what I want from the menu there without craning my neck to look at the menu on the TV far away :) We ordered the Chimichurri Steak and Bacon and Chicken Pesto Caprese sandwiches. Our orders came out quickly and were neatly and cleanly presented on a metal tray. I love the portion and the sumptuous amount of veggies in each sandwiches. My chicken pesto Caprese sandwiches has shaved, roasted chicken breast, fresh mozzarella, marinated red peppers, basil pesto, mixed greens, balsamic glaze drizzle (600 cal) on panini-pressed clabatta! It's juicy and flavorful with a hint of balsamic vinegar and made me want to take one bite after another. My friend enjoy her sandwiches as well :) Overall, it was a lovely experience for us. I forgot to mention that the staff was polite and courteous as well which was a plus for me.

So sad this is a summer season soup and summer is almost over but go get the Hatch Chile Corn soup now! It is soooo good. I had it paired with the Not so Fried chicken half sando combo and was so happy. I went back a few days later and had the exact same thing again. Yum!

Went today for my birthday! I had the Mama Chen’s Chinese chicken salad and I'd say it was pretty good! Unfortunately (I know this'll sound weird) the fork's texture was very disagreeable and bugged me throughout the whole meal. If you're sensitive to different metals in cutlery, I'd keep this in mind! Besides that, the portion was huge, which was great! But I also would've appreciated a bit of more protein. Service was super nice too. Overall; decent place!

I visited Mendocino Farms during a slower time of day, and Luis still went above and beyond with his service. He was incredibly helpful with my order, patiently answering all my questions about ingredient modifications and making sure everything was just right. When I asked about Diet Coke, he let me know they didn’t offer it at the fountain machine, but instead of just saying no, he offered a great solution and let me know I could still order one separately. It was a small but thoughtful gesture. He also offered to have my salad dressing on the side without me even having to ask. Luis’s attention to detail and genuinely kind attitude made the whole experience feel personalized and easy. He’s the kind of team member who makes you want to come back!
