Great place for a quick healthy and tasty bite. I ordered avocado quinoa salad and Italian roast beef and I just loved them. I can eat these every day.
I have been coming here for a year now. I love their Avocado Quinoa salad. I always get the same dish. It’s very tasty and delicious. I have had their sandwiches too, they are equally delicious. Highly recommend.
My first time trying the salad at this location. Ordered the Pink Lady Beets & Goat Cheese Salad and surprisingly it's so delicious. I am not s beets person but the pink Lady beets tastes like fruit and sweet. Goad cheese is creamy. Definitely will order again next time. My other friend ordered the modern Caesar salad, the "Not So Fried" chicken sandwich, the Mendo's original pork belly Banh Mi and the farm club. All the sandwiches taste so good and the Casear salad has this special housemade super food krunchies made it very special. Will definitely visit again soon. A must try if you are in the areA.
I love Mendocino Farms! The quality is terrific and it is consistently good. Everything is very fresh and they are meticulous with accuracy. If I've ever had a problem, they are quick to either fix it or offer me a promo code to come back on them. Pro tip: if you're coming for lunch, it gets BUSY. Come early and/or order online and pick up your order. Schedule it for the time you want it ready and then you can just grab a table and eat there.
Great place for a quick sandwich. The vegan Bahn Mi is really good. The tofu was cooked well and the veggies were very fresh. We got it to go and took it to the beach which was perfect. This location is inside Whole Foods, but it has a separate entrance. The employees were very nice and they have plenty of seating inside to sit down and eat.
The Peruvian steak was awesome and and the Vietnamese sandwich was also very good. Service was not all that good our food sat on the counter for over 5 minutes while the staff just stood there looking at it before someone decided to deliver it tell her table
Its cocktail hamburgers were perfect for catering! I ordered 2 kinds - steak and chicken. My guests loved them!

A Sandwich Study of Heat ($10.25, can be requested gluten-free) is made with shaved, roasted turkey breast, smoked gouda, smashed avocado, chili aioli, jalapeno relish, tomatoes, and romaine lettuce on a panini-pressed rustic white. A side of salsa quemada can also be requested. This is a refreshingly light turkey and avocado sandwich that comes with a side order of heat. The smoked gouda help cut through the heat and adds a creamy and smoky layer to the overall flavor. The salsa quemada is a must as it adds a robust flavor with zesty and spicy kick. Rating: 4.3/5
Drake Farms Celebration Sandwich ($11.45, can be requested gluten-free) is made with Creminelli prosciutto, Herbes de Provence-marinated Drake Farm’s goat cheese, fig chutney, basil pesto, slivered almonds, arugula, and lemon on toasted buckwheat. This sandwich is a perfect blend of sweet, salty, herby, creamy, and nutty. Imagine a charcuterie board served in a sandwich! I am in love with this sandwich! It would be great paired with a glass of wine from the Hangar Bar. Rating: 5/5
Mendo’s Chicken Cobb Salad ($12.45) is made with shaved, roasted free range chicken breast with balsamic glaze drizzle, a blend of butter and romaine lettuce, Applewood smoked bacon, crumbled bleu cheese, avocado, grape tomatoes, red onions, and hard-boiled egg with mustard vinaigrette. Chicken can be substituted with carved steak for an extra $1. This is a healthy-portioned salad and has all the essential items of a cobb salad. The dressing is just little too mustardy for me. I think I would request a substitution of balsamic vinaigrette next time. Rating: 4.3/5
French Green Beans & Drake Farms Feta ($4.50, gluten-free) is made with shaved fennel, Kalamata olives, and toasted almonds in a creamy lemon salsa verde dressing. This is an absolutely beautiful deli salad! The green beans are crisp and sweet. The feta and Kalamata olives add just the right amount of salt to the mix. I am not a big fan of fennel, but having it shaved into the salad actually works for me so the flavor is not so intense. The almonds add a nice crunchy texture and nutty flavor. Rating: 5/5
Curried Couscous ($4.50, vegan) is made with roasted cauliflower & carrots. I love Israeli couscous! They are like little pearls of goodness. The curry flavor works really well with the couscous adding its fragrant flavor and aroma. The carrots add a slight sweetness and color to the salad. Rating: 4.5/5
Marinated Red Beets & Quinoa ($4.50, gluten-free) is made with citrus, green apples, dried cranberries, honey roasted almonds, Scarborough Farm’s baby arugula in a citrus vinaigrette. I love quinoa and could eat it every day! This salad is amazing with a vibrant purple color. It leans more toward the sweet side from the beets and slightly tart green apple. The arugula adds a bitter flavor which balances well with the sweet and tart. The citrus vinaigrette helps to brighten up the salad as the quinoa absorbs all of these great flavors in every bite. Rating: 5/5
Always great. Lower score for atmosphere, but it's in a Whole Foods so that really isn't their fault.
This place is great! A must if you don't mind spending a bit for great food. I had the vegan bbq sandwich and it is amazinggggg. Even my coworkers who are vegan order it, it's that good! Their sides are amazing and their salad are big enough for two. Please stop by if you are thinking about it!
I could eat the avocado superfood salad every day of my life and never get tired of it. It is always extremely fresh, and it’s delicious even after taking it home. So many salads are soggy and sad when you opt for take out, but everything from Mendocino travels well and is delicious. Even your leftover salad for the next day is still good. That’s like unheard of! This is my go-to spot whenever I want something fresh and delicious. Never had any problems with ordering and crew is always friendly. So glad it’s nearby!

Great place for fresh food!
It never disappoints me. I'm coming back for more soon!
Staff was extremely friendly! Just my own personal opinion, but there are much better sandwiches places. I got the chimichurri steak and instantly disappointed first bite
Excellent food, great service
I had the Peruvian Steak delicious .
First time here and I'll be back for sure. You can tell they use first quality products. The steak bacon sandwich was superb. Caramelized onions and grilled bell peppers added the needed sweetness to hit the perfect balance of flavors. I got the potato salad and I can say it's one of the best I've ever had. The mustard flavor holds the key for a super taste... I just loved it.
Fantastic place for quick bites. The employees are happy and quick on their feet. The food quality is consistently high and service was satisfactory.
Ordered dine-in, take-out and catering. Appreciate their ability to make things happen very quickly without mistakes.
