I have to admit that when Mendocino Farms came on the scene, I scoffed at it and thought I'd never eat there. Mendocino is a cool little artsy town (actually unincorporated area) in coastal Northern California and I am just not into the name being associated with a sandwich place. But I ate here twice during the Northwest Flower and Garden Show in February, and doggone, if I didn't turn into a Mendocino Farms fan. First, if you're ordering at lunch, I highly recommend ordering online and then doing a pickup. Thanks to the Yelpers that gave me this pro tip in their reviews! My hubs and I did this twice and we only had to wait 5 minutes or so for our orders while the people who ordered at the counter had to wait A LOT longer. I liked everything I ate here on both days and so did my hubs. The nice and efficient sandwich maker fellow here is really good at his job! We've had the Farm Club, Turkey Avo Salsa Verde, and the Build Your Own. We both like how you can choose what bread you want, whether you want it toasted, pressed like a panini, or regular. You can adjust your toppings. For someone with a few food allergies like me, this is super helpful. We ate our sandwiches there as the place has good seating, is clean and airy, and the sandwiches are really tasty when they're freshly toasted or pressed. Very satisfying and all the ingredients looked and tasted like QUALITY. Next time I need a delicious lunch in downtown Seattle, I will be ordering again from Mendocino Farms. read more

3.5 Stars Back when I lived in LA, this chain was all the rage so I am delighted they've moved up the coast! They are a sandwich and salad spot with sides, with a fresh "California" spin. We got food delivered from here! They were pretty slow but to be fair we placed a gigantic order. Check the calorie count because omg, that Golden Cobb Wrap did not feel like I was inhaling 1,200 calories! I also had a green juice and the kid's chicken tenders. The Cobb Wrap was super salty and the chicken tenders were really good :) read more

Great spot for a delicious lunch in downtown Seattle. Though expensive I have never had a bad meal at this or any other Mendocino Farms. My favorite is their club sandwich but am also a fan of their Not So Fried Chicken sandwich which basically has crispies to simulate a crunchy batter. Portions are huge and quality is great, so you get what you pay for. Oh, and their lemonades are all so refreshing, pomegranate mint is my favorite. Highly recommend ordering online beforehand because they make each order fresh which can take a while, especially at peak lunch time. read more

Great spot to grab a healthy meal in Seattle. There is a lot of corporate people at this location so it does get crowded during lunch but line moves fast. I got the avocado quinoa salad and it was pretty good. I loved the crunchy quinoa bits in it and it tasted very fresh. They don't put too much dressing here which was good because I don't like when salad places do that. They also have sandwiches and wraps and some other sides. Would recommend. read more

Downtown LA, Downtown Culver City, my past in LA is peppered with great memories of the mouth-watering vegan sandwiches produced with unflagging quality and taste from Mendocino Farms. The sophistication of the "California palate" with casual Asian-, Latino-, and Mediterranean-inspired salads and sandwiches are the specialty of this chain. Healthy, flavor forward but with rounded mouth feel. YUM....the American melting pot is beautifully represented here (**current insecurities and hostilities notwithstanding.**) For me on a personal gut-brain connection, the vegan Bahn Mi hittss! I come close to weeping when I taste it because it transports me back to my Culver City days -- lounging on the grand staircase across from Sony Studios and the historic Culver City hotel. Basking in that golden sunshine and snarfing down the deliciously toasted bread containing pickled carrots and daikon and expertly grilled tofu, is a warm memory. If there is any comfort food I'd go back to repeatedly in the American culinary landscape, it is the vegan Bahn Mi. That's high praise coming from someone for whom culinary novelty and unusual palate is my zone. Don't miss the sophisticated drinks...their lemonade mixes are equally Asian-, Latin- and Mediterranean-inspired, complex, and zingy. With friendly service, the excellent sandwich-soup-salad combinations here make me just, well, HAPPY. This branch is rather clinical in architecture with far-too-big picture windows in downtown Seattle. Mendocino Farms should have done more of an intimate interior design rather than this awful cold glass wrap around. Yeeuuuuch!! read more

If I could give them a 10 for service I would! Can't describe how amazing they were to me when I told them I had allergies to some of the ingredients in the sandwich and salad. They made sure to remove the allergens from the order and it was so delicious...didn't eat there but the ambience seemed fine and very welcoming. read more

I come here for the Prosciutto & Chicken sandwich and the Lemon Chicken & Farro soup. I would try other things, and I have, but I know I will wish that I ordered my fav sandwich. The Prosciutto & Chicken is an elevated sandwich that has all these yummy flavors combined into a filling panini pressed sandwich. The crunch of the crushed honey roasted almonds intermingled with the basil pesto and balsamic glaze is chef's kiss! The Lemon Chicken & Farro soup is delicious! I ordered my food online and picked it up without any issue during the designated pick up time. read more

I came here for elite week and was very satisfied! I went in the evening and I feel like Mendocino farms is a very underrated place for dinner. There aren't many premium sandwich shops that are open around this time. I ordered the Peruvian steak sandwich. It has the perfect amount of spice so that it adds to the flavor rather than takes away from it. It was toasted perfectly. It didn't travel super well (got a little messy) but it didn't affect the taste whatsoever once it was out of the bag! Be aware that it gets extremely busy during lunch time and I would suggest ordering ahead. read more

We went as Elite members on "Elite week" at the Westlake location the one on 4th was too crowded plus no parking The salads and sandwich were freshly made, refreshing and yummy Idk if being Elite members made a difference as we were served quickly while others waited for their orders.

I visited Mendocino Farms as part of the Yelp Elite Event. I've dined at Mendocino farms before, but at a different location. I've tried a few of their salads and wanted to try a sandwich this time. This location is very spacious and comfortable. A huge plus for allowing dogs to dine in too! PERUVIAN SANDWICH - 4/5 The server recommended the Peruvian sandwich which consists of steak tossed in a spicy aji amarillo sauce, oaxacan cheese, tomatoes, red onions, shredded romaine, and herb aioli. I also added avocado. The sandwich was warm when it arrived and the bread was crispy and toasted very well. It wasn't too spicy and had a good amount of meat complemented by the tangy sauce. Ingredients were very fresh and portions were good. The crunch of the bun was a standout for me. If you're in the mood for something lighter, the salads are a great choice, but Mendocino Farms' sandwiches hold their own too! read more

Loved this chain when I lived in Socal. So excited for them to be here now. Its a great space - easy to find - walkable if you work or live in downtown area. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They recommended the no so fried Chicken Sandwich as a crowd favorite. I added a chicken farro soup and guava lemonade. Yum! read more

Mendocino Farms is impossible not to love. My favorites will always be the first two locations I would frequently visit in LA and Marina Del Rey, but this is one I come to often as well and it's very convenient to the downtown offices. The employees are lovely and always kind, even in the lunch rush. Lately, without fail, I get the Thai Chicken and Mango salad. It is so good. It may be one of the only salads in the world that is truly satisfying. There are so many textures and their shaved chicken is really, really good. If I'm not at Mendocino, I normally pick out a salad's chicken. Here, you enjoy every bite. read more

The service was quick and friendly, which was a plus. We ordered a chicken pesto sandwich, and it was ready in about 10 minutes. The sandwich itself was just okay. The strangest part was that the bread was hot, but the chicken was cold, making for a confusing mix of temperatures. However, the bread was quite good. Would I go back? Maybe not. read more

Mendocino is a good lunch time spot. You can order online and their pick up system is quite efficient. The staff is super on top of it. I went during Yelp Elite Week and got the chimichurri steak sandwich. A bit messy for a work lunch but it's a good portion. read more

Extremely good Thai mango salad. Beautiful, healthy, and satisfying. Great service. Will be back.

Mendocino Farms is a fantastic fast-casual option in Seattle. I wish we had something like this where I'm located, lol. My friend and I stopped by a couple Saturday evenings ago hoping to enjoy a meal with fresh and healthy ingredients (like vegetables) because we truly needed a cleanse. AVOCADO & QUINOA SUPERFOOD ENSALADA - 13.95 +4 for grilled chicken (kinda worth, tbh) So much fresh vegetables and grape tomatoes which made me so happy. I love the toasted quinoa and millet which gave the salad an extra crunch for every bite. All the toppings really made the salad delicious and worth it. The cotija cheese was a good cheese option. The chipotle vinaigrette was light and sweet. What a tasty salad and it was so, so filling. I actually would not mind paying almost $20 for this since it's packed with a lot of fresh ingredients and it filled me up really well. The service here was good and the interior was clean. We had a good time eating and talking before they closed. My friend and I also shared a potato salad, which was quite tasty. read more

While on a recent business trip to downtown Seattle, our group decided to order takeout from Mendocino Farms. It's a sandwich, soup, and salad kind of place, and I have to say, it's a cut above the usual fast-casual options. Think Panera, but significantly better. I remember when a quick lunch meant a basic sandwich from a chain. Mendocino Farms takes things to a different level. The sandwiches are elevated; you're definitely not finding the kind of combinations they offer at Subway, Jimmy John's, or even Panera. I had the chimichurri steak and bacon with marinated red peppers. The ingredients were fresh, the flavors were well-balanced, and the sandwich was just overall excellent. I also ordered a side of pickles and their dill potato salad. Being from Texas, I'm pretty particular about my potato salad, and this one hit the spot. It had the right balance of creamy and tangy, with a good dill flavor. The interior was modern and looked like it had plenty of seating, though we opted for takeout. They had our order waiting on a large shelving system on the wall, so we didn't have to wait in line or talk to anyone. It was very efficient. Despite our large order - we had eight people in our group - the food was ready quickly, and everything was correct. That's always a plus when dealing with a larger order. It shows they have a good system in place. Overall, I was very impressed with Mendocino Farms. It's a great option for a quick but high-quality lunch. I'd give it a solid 4.5 stars and would definitely recommend it, especially if you're looking for something beyond the typical sandwich chain fare. read more

Good for catering - Walkable from Pike Place - Easy meal spot Their menu had a decent variety and was hard to choose from! Went with a staff members recommendation and ordered the turkey avo salsa verde sandwich for lunch. Overall, good quick and easy lunch spot. Worth to try if you're around! I was the first one in and I could see large catered orders everywhere! Took about ten minutes to get my sammy and it did not disappoint! Had a little kick to it and I could taste all the flavors from each ingredient. It was a hefty sandwich that will have you plenty full! This sandwich would be a hard one to save for later, it got soggy quick but not inconveniently so. Not a spot for a date or anything but if you're in the office and need a quick lunch this is a healthy option I'd recommend! read more

Mendocino Farms is such a great spot for a quick and healthy lunch! I'm gluten free and vegetarian and brought my vegan friend here- we both had plenty of options and the menu is labeled really well so it was easy to select things we could eat. The staff is so friendly and helpful! They gave us some great opinions when we were stuck on what to order and brought our food out quickly. The restaurant is clean and has fabulous natural light, but the food is also really easy to take to go. We ate in and it was lovely! Will definitely come back for another quick meal! read more

First of all, whoever the gentleman was who greeted me and took my order, you are an absolute rockstar! He noticed I seemed a little lost and confused. He explained the menu to me, told me his favorites, and then gave me a moment to look everything over. I ordered the chicken crunch wrap. I wasn't sure what to expect but I know people LOVE this place and we just got one locally, so I was excited to try it at a location that wouldn't be as busy. It was really good! I also had the opportunity to try one of their beverages. Also, amazing! I thought I made sure of the ingredients in my wrap before ordering but I noticed while eating it, there was something I just didn't like. There were, in fact, tomatoes in it. Which is totally fine! It just solidified my dislike for tomatoes. I can't wait to try Mendocino Farms again. I really hope our staff is as incredible as the one in Seattle! read more

Came here on a bit of a whim just looking for something quick before we got back to exploring and was absolutely shocked by how good it was. I thought it was just going to be a slightly elevated Seattle-esque version of Panera but was terribly wrong (in the best way). The sweet potato soup wasn't my favorite, however, the Turkey Avo is the sandwich of my dreams!! I ordered 1/2 sandwich so I am unsure if it was supposed to include two halves but am not complaining. It is packed with ingredients, and has a perfect combo of freshness from the avocado, smokiness from the Gouda, and a touch spice from the sweet hot peppers, jalapeño salsa aioli. 12/10. read more

God, I wish this place existed in NYC. I've been a few times to the one in Santa Monica and was pleased to discover on a recent trip to Seattle that they also have a few locations there.

The flavor was good and I appreciated the crispy texture as well as the included dipping sauce. Overall, a good experience and I would come back. read more

Mendocino Farms - Chicken Parm Sandwich - Salad Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This review is based on my few trips to Mendocino farms. I really liked their chicken farro soup it was pretty good, tomato soup was average. I loved all their lemonades, however had a mixed feelings about sandwiches. I didn't like "not so fried chicken" didn't felt anything close and why chicken is cold? Usually chicken comes hot in this type of sandwich. The other one I tried with chicken caprese pesto was very good. Peruvian sandwich was good too it comes warm and meet is very delisious. I went during weekends and the place was empty, but one time I came there for a lunch on Monday and place was packed. Online order would be 1 h so I had to stay in the queue around 20 minutes. I understand that they use quality ingredients but it's kind of pricey sandwiches and some of them are very average that one can make at home. read more

A fast-casual chain infiltrated downtown Seattle. Not too long ago I had some free time and gave into the hype about visiting this fairly new salad & sandwich shop. Well, fairly new to Washington state. The vibe was unsettling like a splinter of South Lake Union got lodged into the central business district. I looked around the restaurant. Something about this place felt odd, like watching the smiling people in black hole sun. I stood in line, ordered a sandwich, then took it to go because there was no way I wanted to stick around after waiting 30 minutes. That sandwich was dry af. I didn't even finish it. Definitely wasn't worth the price I paid. I told my friend about my experience. She told me she tried their food too. She said it was "Meh." Gawd, I should have consulted her before going. People will still come here since there aren't a lot of lunch options in this area. Some changes are coming though. We have a local bakery moving in on 5th Ave and PCC should be coming back so I'm looking forward to that. read more

The sandwich was the best I have in many years. Excellent quality and robust but not over powering flavors. Unique My wife loved her salad as well. Again quality is top. Very friendly staff and super clean. A place to rest and enjoy a safe clean quality lunch. We will hit this place again and again. read more

I lived in CA for a few years and moved back to WA and was excited to se a Mendocino Farms on my way home after doing some research at the library. When I lived in CA the companies I worked with always catered from here and Goop and I have been to locations in CA there are quite a few locations there. The one nice thing that you expect from chain resturaunts is consistency regardless of what location, city or state you are. This location is a dud for sure... There were plenty of people working and it was NOT at a busy time. There were in total 4 people who had already recieved thier orders and eating and 2 people including me waiting. Service: Everyone is really since-very politie all good there. Quality of food: This is where is was really odd, when I got home to enjoy my sandwich the bread when you picked it up pasicly disnigrated into bread crumbs...imagine your sandwich being encased in panko bread crumbs without the bread. So you can imagine very dry, it was missing all the inside dresseing/sauces...basically it was dry bread crumbs, turkey, tomato, greens nothing else. Then I got the pasta salad... it was a small but I counted and I counted 5 pasta shells and the rest was swimming in dressing. So I went home and I added mayo (it was supposed to be a avacado mash and an aoli). Re-breaded it with my own bread....and I cooked up some elbow macaroni to add to my salad dressing. You ask why didn't I go back?-I was already home and I live 20 minutes-walking- and I was just tired-and I would have drove but there is no parking near there. I did call up the corp. office and they did refund my money and apologized. I'll just stick to eating this brand when I am in CA. read more

What an awesome soup, salad, and sandwich place! First impressions is the space is large and has a nice vibe to it. The staff are very friendly and helpful in explaining the choices. As far as the food goes, we opted in for the half no so friend chicken sandwich with dill potato salad and the half roast beef sandwich with Dan Dan noodle salad. Both sandwiches were crafted to perfection. The chicken was crispy and went fantastic with the pickle sauce. As far as the roast beef goes, it was one of the best sandwiches I've had. As for the drinks, we tried the passion fruit black tea and the get your greens. Both were absolutely fantastic and the greens was the best I have tasted. Can't wait to come back again soon and try more dishes. No complaints. read more
