The food is great! The food is delicious and I enjoy the indoor and outdoor seating options for this location! The staff is always friendly and welcoming and the service is quick and reliable! Love this place.

Nice place with great selection of salads and sandwiches that are creative and healthy. The staff was accommodating. The ambiance is nice. There's an outside area and inside with self serve drinks. You order your food and they deliver to your table. Efficient and fresh food

I have always wanted to try the sandwiches at this spot. The menu just looks so delicious, definitely not the run of the mill standard options. I went here with my niece, we were in this area and we needed to grab something quick to eat. There were quite a few items on the menu that looked nommy. We ended up getting 3 sandwiches: 1. Chicken Parm Dip- Chicken, Mendo's krispies, melted mozzarella & parmesan, pomodoro sauce, basil, Calabrian chile aioli, on toasted sesame roll served with extra pomodoro for dipping -I got this sandwich, I swapped out the sesame roll for focaccia bread. This sandwich was super delish, incredibly spicy. I think I made a good choice with swapping out the bread. The bread was sort of toasted, it made me of a crispy buttery crouton. I will say the pomodoro sauce was delicious. 5/5 2. My niece got: Peruvian Steak -seared steak tossed in a spicy aji amarillo sauce, melted Oaxacan cheese, tomatoes, red onions, shredded romaine, herb aioli, on toasted potato roll. They swapped potato roll with ciabatta bread. -My niece also loved their sandwich. The combination of flavors hit the spot. This one also was a bit spicy. 5/5 3. I got my sister the Prosciutto & Chicken- chicken, Italian prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, crushed honey roasted almonds, basil pesto, balsamic glaze, tomatoes, on panini-pressed ciabatta -My sister also enjoyed their sandwich. All the different flavors mixed together, she made a note of the crispy roasted almonds. "how delicious!' 4/5 The flavors are top notch, they definitely take the time to put together amazing unique combinations. However, I will not lie, the size of the sandwiches are pretty dang small for the price you pay!?!? I think my niece's was the most expensive, I think the sandwiches were got ranged from $14 to $16. That is nuts since the sandwich itself is very small and you do not get anything else included. No chips, no salad, no drink, no cookie.. We did get 2 drinks, I was very excited for the passion fruit black tea, but it was way too floral for me. The Guava Lemonade was tasty and the pomegranate mint lemonade is even tastier. They sweeten their drinks with Agave. These drinks are homemade. This place had lots of seating, it's cute inside. The staff was patient, kind and helpful. My mouth was on fire from eating my sandwich and he was kind enough to give me some aioli to help it calm down. Would I come here again? Probably. I would love to come back more often but it's just so pricey. Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Food:5/5

Mendocino Farms is a farm fresh staple! such a variety of sandwiches and sides. some of the Sandos have too much bread. they offer seasonal options for a fun Friendsgiving with cranberry and Turkey additions, and veggie options too. lots of seating and catering offered, perfect for your and your group.

I love Mendocino farms when I'm in town but a special shout out to Eddie O. The service received was exceptional service I've received in a long time and he went above and beyond. Great recommendations and food as well!

11/10 recommended. I had a work lunch meeting today here at Mendocino farms and was absolutely blown away. There were only four of us but can see that we could likely easily get up to a party of 10 or 12 of us with no issue in the space here. Maybe more. Really loved everything about the food and the staff and the facility here. Even the parking lot was plentiful and the easy to navigate and get a great spot. Walking in from my second row. Parking place, the big menus and people waiting to take your order right away was just great and it made the decision-making experience super easy. Medium sized indoor space with probably around 40 places to sit (about a dozen tables) but also another medium-sized outdoor space with an equal amount of chairs and a bar space that was really comfortable to get up into a stool and sit at even as a big guy. I'd even like to highlight the bathrooms here with it being a gender-neutral bathroom on the left. Just pleasantly surprised all along with how clean and great everything was. Now let's talk about the food.... WOW. Today I ordered the half sandwich side dish combo with the turkey, bacon, avocado Club and curry couscous. I could not get enough and raved about the couscous to my coworkers. I got some of the passion iced tea here and fell in love. Paid me. Think about getting sun tea that mom made in the summertime with a little bit of fruit in it for just the right small amount of natural sweetness. As we wrapped up my work meeting I was thinking my wife would really love something here if I brought her home a dish. I ended up getting another half sandwich side dish combo to go as well with the Chicken pesto caprese sandwich, the curry couscous again, and a cup of the Lemon Chicken & Farro Soup. Even after almost an hour drive home, my wife raved about the meal. Right sized portions and incredible taste across the board. I'll plan on making this place one of my regular spots going forward. Thanks for the great service and food today!

Cesar Salad Wrap and GOAT salad

My favorite place to eat! My partner and I come here at least once a week because we know it will be consistent, fresh, healthy and delicious. The staff here is incredible. They are so friendly and quick to help. The manager is always so welcoming. The outside patio is so nice to sit at, the heaters are a nice addition if it's a bit chilly. We always look forward to coming back!

Outside seating was pleasant since they have patio heaters which made the experience better, inside seating is very small and it gets crowded. The tables have a QR code that needs to be scanned so then you need to enter the number on the receipt, I suggest you keep your phone with you. We did wait for more than 15 minutes ffor a salad and a sandwich. The food is not worth the 15 minutes of waiting. It is a better alternative to fast food and maybe I'll give it another chance in the future.

This is truly ridiculous. I tend to like Mendocino farms because I find the quality and amount to be worth the value. I ordered a 1/2 sandwich and small side salad. The salad is smaller than my hand. The box isn't even full. This isn't a salad, this is the amount of lettuce that should've been on the sandwich. On what world is a half sandwich and this handful of greens worth 12$. Fingers for scale.

Jenny N.

I truly love their sandwiches. The "Not so Fried" sandwich is my favorite. Mendocino Farms makes it perfectly. The chicken is crispy but not greasy. When you dip it into the tangy mustard barbeque sauce, you will taste the most delightful flavor. Additionally, if you like pickled red onions and mustard pickle slaw, you'll really enjoy it in this sandwich. The texture, the flavor, and the crunch are everything.

Edit: order was 51 minutes late, which is unacceptable. But they refunded the order and further made it right.

Family owned since the 1970s. I met Dave the owner today and got to chatting with him. :) Learned…read morealot! The food is delicious... known for their sandwiches! They also have smoothies, their "world famous cookies", candies, chips, etc. It's one of the oldest sandwich shops around. Quality ingredients with friendly staff. I used to come here a lot more in my 20s... I'm 35 now. It's always been consistent. I've never had a bad experience. There is seating outside you can eat your food at. Inside the shop, it has an old beachy sandwich shop vibe which I hope never changes. Great memories coming here. Will continue to come. Expect to spend around an average of $20 here.

Cheese Shop and Sandwiches in La Jolla Shores is super popular with locals and tourists mainly for…read moretheir sandwiches and oatmeal cookies. This shop on Avenida De La Playa, which is the Main Street closed off from cars, so people can walk freely, but parking is a challenge. The cheese shop can't be missed, with the green ivy covered store front. It's standing round only, no seating inside but limited outside seating. You order from the counter and they bring your order to you if you decide to sit outside. I selected the popular sandwich: Turkey, Jack Cheese and Avocado on sourdough bread with every veggie: lettuce, tomato, red onion was all it had. Just baked from the oven were the famous oatmeal cookies in caramel and chocolate, looked so yummy I didn't order any but the guy behind the counter complementary gifted a pair to me, so nice, friendly and cool!! Inside the shop didn't appear clean, I would describe the ambiance as divey. Sat outside and shortly my order was presented nicely wrapped sandwich and warm cookies. Took pics and took a bite and my consensus is that I was not a fan of this sandwich because I really prefer smoked turkey and not plain turkey. The sandwich looked subpar, the layering of ingredients weren't assembled as aesthetically layered as it can be and tasted just ok. My pup usually doesn't like smoked turkey or unfresh meats but she liked this plain roast turkey, which means it's more likely fresh and pass her approval. She also ate the contents of the sandwich sans the bread and onions of course. The oatmeal cookies were a real treat and lived up to the hype, kind of gooey, yummy and good for you...hence oats is fiber! As a cheese aficionado, this shop is not really a cheese shop with no abundant cheese selections. The shop should just be named sandwich shop, since sandwiches and candies seem to be their cash cows. If you're looking for a cheese shop, this isn't the place, but it might the place for a sandwich. Recommend
