I feel like Merenda came out of nowhere. I think they are really about a year old at this point,…read morebut I only recently discovered them when I was up in Newberg and searching for a quick grab and go lunch. They are located in Dundee across the street from Red Mills Market, and neighbors to Fratelli Wine Bar so you could make a little afternoon of it exploring these fun spots. They have a good amount of space in their parking lot, but if it does fill (which can happen on the weekends), there is plenty of parking along the road. There is some seating inside and out, all pretty casual, but nice to have the option. I've only ever ordered to go, but they are quick and typically have sandwiches ready in 5-15 minutes (the latter only at their busiest times). Their menu is tight with two salad options, five sandwiches, and a couple coffees/teas. Also worth mentioning the gigantic brown butter chocolate chip cookie and delectable sounding gelato (pistachio, stracciatella...moo crunch?!). I have had probably half the menu items at this point, and all are good, but my favorites are the #1 sandwich, Morta along with the ceci salad (and cookie, obviously). Since they are so quick, don't waste time while you are waiting on your order, and make sure to peruse their fun snacks, soft drinks, and merch. The Torres potato chips are where it's at, and while I've resisted temptation thus far, I really want to get my hands on the Sockerbit gummies. Once you do receive your order, you will be swooning over the adorable presentation. I know you're thinking "t's just sandwiches," but they make them feel special from the paper wraps with the cute Merenda tape, to the red and white picnic check napkins. I generally venture up there only once a month or so, but Merenda has become a strong contender for favorite lunch spot in the area. Oh, and I always forget, but you can order online too!

This was the perfect stop to grab a lunch to bring along for a long day of wine tasting…read more I got the prosciutto sandwich and it was to die for. Creamy cheese, veggies, and prosciutto. The bread was soft but still had some bite to it. I also got the truffle chips which were such a fun change compared to the regular chips you see. We ordered online and process was smooth. Employees were helpful and friendly. It didn't fit in with my wine tasting but I was intrigued by their pistachio cold foam matcha.

Great restaurant! Services was kind and incredibly fast. I am really impressed with their menu. We…read moreordered two pizza's and a salad and everything was delicious, super fresh. I loved the ambience. They have mostly in-door seating with a small outside patio. Seating is broken into two areas, feels very open and you can see directly into the kitchen if seated in the back room. Also, they do brunch! I have never been, but if it's anything like dinner, it's probably very good.

Our order said it would be ready in 20, but we ended up waiting an additional 30 for it. The mushroom pizza looked amazing on the menu but was totally unacceptable. The crust was hard as a rock and the toppings were SPARSE. I mean, you can see in the photo. There is cheese on the middle half (or less), 3 total mushrooms, and then raw red onion. I am surprised they weren't embarrassed to serve this to us, as it was shocking to open. We tried to have some but it was honestly hard to eat and just didn't have any flavor. I feel like the photo should really tell the entire story here.

I have dietary restrictions, so the bartender went out of his way to help me find things on the menu that could be made to work. We do not remember his name, but he is a keeper.

They are a pleasure to chat with as you have a drink at the bar, happy hour or not. Except yesterday they were admonished not to talk with us so much although it wasn't busy, so I guess we will not be going as much anymore. That really saddens me, but they hired someone new I think that's more about efficiency than begin as attentive to customers, especially us older ones with stories. Oh well...things change.

Briar Rose Creamy, which specializes in cows milk cheese, offers an open window for sample tasting, which is accessible after driving down a gravel road in Dundee. Their cheese is served on cheese & charcuterie boards at nearby Dundee Hills & Willamette Valley wineries. We were offered samples by the cheese maker's husband, who shared the story of their business, her journey from her early days at Cowgirl Creamy in Marin, to starting her own company, & advised us on their offerings. While tasting, we could see straight back into the cheese making facility, with people busy at work. It just doesn't get any closer to the source than that. We enjoyed each Briar Rose cheese we tried, but particularly the Butterbaby, a soft bloomy rind Guernsey cow's milk cheese, and their sweet, tangy, spreadable formage blanc. I wish they had been tasting their semi-soft cheese washed in Riesling and wrapped in Spruce bark, called Strapping Evelyn, but it wasn't available to sample the day we stopped by. We picked up several cheeses to take home. A must for anyone who likes an authentic farm stand experience.
