"Sunny Mendocino mornings call for a trip to Goodlife Cafe. Like most places in town, the breakfast and lunch spot has an outdoor space that’s got big, group-friendly tables, perfect for tourists and locals to debrief their weeks over an unrushed cup of coffee or mimosa bucket. On top of your usual AM standbys like bagels, waffles, and calzone-like omelets, Goodlife also has a few Mexican staples like generously loaded huevos rancheros and chilaquiles. Don’t skip anything from the housemade pastry case, especially the cinnamon roll the size of a frisbee." - julia chen 1
