Mendocino Farms

It's so convenient to swing by for a quick pick up. We enjoyed their Thai mango salad and chicken hummus crunch wrap! There was a variety of delicious vegetables and we were so satiated and santisfied. Not pictured, but we also tried their haunted half & half (house made lemonade and unsweetened tea) and their unsweetened passion fruit black tea. They were refreshing and perfect with the food.

A little on the pricey side, but two very solid salads! I ordered the watermelon “poke”, and my friend ordered the Asian salad. The poke salad was tasty. It wouldn’t fool anyone into thinking it was poke, but the flavors were fresh and bright and it was a very filling portion once I added pressed tofu. My friend was pleased to be able to customize her salad (dressing on the side, leave out the cilantro), and was happy to find a dairy free option so easily. The inside of the restaurant is quite echo-y, so not great for conversations, but there were a few small tables outside by the road that were ironically much quieter.

Tried a couple sandwiches and they were both good. The ingredients taste fresh and the breads are light. I'd recommend giving them a try if you're in the area.

I can't express how nice it has been to work with the catering team at Mendocino Farms in Kirkland! As an event coordinator, having a reliable location to cater for work events of up to 60 people is a game changer. We use them for any lunch order big or small and everything comes perfectly labeled and beautifully arraigned. We get nothing but great reviews from our staff whenever we order! I love working with their team and how professionally they have helped accommodate our requests. Will continue to order very frequently :)

I work nearby so I'd been seeing and hearing allll about the salads and sandwiches at this joint, but never really gave either a shot. Dang. Really could've been eating this delicious food sooner! I ordered the hatch chili corn soup and the "not so fried" sandwich, and destroyed both in super short order. Plus, since I ordered online it was ready when I popped in! The two folks who were manning the counter/front kitchen were communicative and polite and the actual restaurant was clean and I imagine a good place to sit and eat, as well.

The taste is good as usual. However, this store gave way less peach slices in their signature peach and prosciutto sandwich than the other stores. I only saw 2-3 small slices of peaches in half of my sandwich. In other stores, there are full layer of peaches.

I recently visited Mendocino Farms in Kirkland, WA, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish! The moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The décor is bright, modern, and cheerful, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a meal. The menu offers a creative and diverse range of options, catering to all tastes and dietary preferences. I tried the “Not So Fried” Chicken Sandwich and was blown away by the flavorful combination of crispy chicken, tangy mustard slaw, and pickled red onions. It was perfectly balanced and incredibly satisfying. The salads are equally impressive, made with fresh and vibrant ingredients that truly stand out. What sets Mendocino Farms apart is the quality of the food and the thoughtful presentation. Everything is made fresh, and you can taste the care put into each dish. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely enthusiastic about their menu, happy to offer recommendations or help with any dietary modifications. The convenience of their order-ahead options and seamless takeout service is also a big plus, making it an excellent choice whether you want to dine in or grab something delicious on the go. Overall, Mendocino Farms is a standout dining experience. If you’re in Kirkland and looking for flavorful, high-quality meals that are a cut above the rest, this place should be at the top of your list!

Such fresh sandwiches. Loved the banhmi vegan sandwich. Caprese tofu and as also good but a bit salty and bland compared to Banhmi that had depth and a kick!

Clean and bright interior, attractive menus, and tasty selections. I came here around noon for lunch on a random Saturday, and it wasn't too busy when we arrived. We ordered a seasonal peach salad and a caprese sandwich with two fountain drinks. Our food was ready in under 10 minutes, and wow, everything looked amazing. My partner's salad was fresh and colorful. My sandwich was not what I expected, but it looked very tasty as well! I expected the bread to be more chewy/yeasty, but it was a bit hard and slightly crumbly. It was different, but paired well with the fillings. It had the perfect amount of ingredients in each layer. I tried a bite of my partner's salad, and it was tasty! The salad dressing seemed a bit sweet and had a zing, pairing nicely with the peaches and greens. Overall, it's a great, clean lunch option. I was glad to hear that they're also in California where I reside. Yay!

Chicken Pesto Caprese is my personal favorite. Thin sliced chicken with, fresh mozzarella, marinated red peppers with an amazing basil pesto sauce and unique Balsamic finish is perfect! The other favorite is the make your own sandwich which is similar to the chicken caprese but without the chicken and adding Jalapenos and Jalapeno aioli and avocados. Btw, the online ordering is pretty accurate with time and it changes perfectly depending on the current orders. Friendly staff, getting a street parking is difficult but there are lots of places in the garage.

Good food and value, service was excellent. I wish I had the name of the woman that helped me today as she was lovely and went above and beyond with information about the salad dressing ingredients and providing me with a taster upon request. I forgot my sweater. I called fairly immediately after leaving. They put it in the safe and kept it for me to pick up later. The gentleman I spoke to had great energy and professionalism, giving me the confidence that It would be waiting for me When I could return. They have some excellent clean plant based items. They have a number of dressing options that are vegan. But you should ask because some of them have a fish sauce or egg... And it might not be immediately apparent. They have seasonal food as well like a watermelon, poke salad. Thank you for having so many plant based items and such friendly professional staff.

Great food, great service, lots of clean seating! I had their "Not So Fried" Chicken sandwich which has little crispies to simulate a batter coating, it was very delicious with the mustard dip. Also had a side of their potato salad, very strong dill flavor if you like that. My wife had their chicken pesto which she really enjoyed, and the tomato soup was decent but nothing special. Pomegranate mint lemonade is bright and refreshing, highly recommend that drink to go with your sandwiches.

We ordered our food online and picked it up when it was ready. Conveniently located in Totem Lake with ample parking near the restaurant. Large windows that let natural light in. We ordered: - Hot honey peach & prosciutto sandwich - Corn & hatch chili soup - Baja green goddess, no cheese salad All were delicious!

Mendocino farms is yummy! The online pick up makes it very easy. It's fresh, good and quick and easy.

I'm so sad there's not one of these in issaquah. Anytime I'm nearby, I will stop in. I love the not so fried chick, also love the club sandwich. The side options are also really good! I got the bbq chips and the guava lemonade. Both were excellent! It's an easy spot to grab a sandwich and sit and eat, or grab and go for a picnic nearby. Staff is always friendly and willing to help you decide if you're stuck between choices! The space is bright and airy, with plenty of parking as it's in the mall.

I came here around 1:30 PM on a Thursday for a to-go order. The facility was nice and clean, and the staff was friendly. I ordered the Thai Sweet Potato Soup, which was delicious and perfect for the cold weather. Parking was easy, with a free parking garage nearby.

I have walked past this place in Totem Lake a few times and wasn't sure exactly what to expect other than food and blue spotted cows everywhere, including one out front just waiting for a selfie! Challenge accepted. While here for a Yelp Experience, I brought along 3 members of my family and I tried their meals as well. I had the Chicken Parm Dip with a cup of Thai Sweet Potato Soup, while others in my party tried the Winter Citrus & Goat Cheese Salad, the Not So Fried Chicken Ciabatta, and the Chicken & Hummus Crunch Wrap. We each enjoyed our meals as they tasted pretty good. The chicken I tried in each of the items we had was tender and moist and went well with the accompanying ingredients. I also like the tanginess of the Farmhouse Vinegarette dressing on the salad. With all the chicken offerings, you'd think their mascot would be a chicken instead of a blue cow (It looks like Chik-fil-A already figured this out). Holy Cow! This location has good wholesome food and a bright inviting seating area. Check it out.

When first walking in we were instantly impressed with the happy and friendly employees who immediately greeted us and checked to see if we had any questions. Having friendly employees definitely made the atmosphere really pleasant. I ordered the sandwich/side combo with the farm club sandwich and kale&apple salad. I loved the sandwich, you could tell they were using quality and fresh ingredients which I appreciated. I didn't care much for the kale&apple; it felt oily and I didn't think the flavor combos were working well. I would definitely come back to try something else though because it seems like they have a lot of great things to try!

tl;dr - fresh ingredients, very friendly staff, gluten free options I've had both sandwiches and salads here and the ingredients are really fresh. The Peruvian Steak Sandwich and Turkey Avo Salsa Verde Sandwich are our repeat orders. They also offer gluten free bread. They can take a little longer for food to come out, but the staff is always super friendly and service is excellent. There seems to always be plenty of seating because a lot of customers seem to place online orders.

Amazing food! Loved the not friend Chicken, couscous Chimichurri steak, tomato bisque, and caprese sandwich! And the folks here were so kind, especially when we accidentally dropped out to-go leftovers and they made us a whole new one for free. What amazing customer service! We have found a new favorite restaurant with delicious food that is good for you too!

Very easy ordering right by the hospital. I appreciated that option vs hospital food. I had some sort of Asian salad but with tofu, and I had them make it into a burrito. We had a chicken salad too, and a steak sandwich. All were quite good. They had some pretty tasty fountain drinks...some sort of green juice, and a really tasty lemonade with mint and maybe pomegranate or something...dont quite recall. Very easy to order online and pickup.

I am so excited to see Mendocino Farms had opened at Totem Lake and had to try it out. I got the Pink Lady Beets and Goat Cheese Salad, and Guava Lemonade. I loved both the salad and Guava Lemonade. It took close to 30 mins to receive my salad, I wish it didn't take so long I will be back to try their sandwiches.

Ordered for pickup. Took a while for the order to be ready. Was really looking forward for this location to open but unfortunately didn't have a great experience. - November to Remember ($13.95): limited edition item, was ok, not memorable, would not get again - Chicken Pesto Caprese ($12.75): flavor was good but it was cold, like it came straight out of the fridge. For a panini type of sandwich, I expected at least the bread to be warm

Good: friendly staff and gorgeous presentation. Room for improvement: staff still needs training, seemed confused while bringing out food (my salad was waiting on the counter and there multiple people unsure what to do with it) and didn't correctly tell me that the onions were NOT pickled in the salad. The pickled vs. raw difference is huge, I'm a long-time Mendocino farms fan and I can tell the staff is still adjusting to all the nuances. Overall, it took almost 20 minutes to get our salad and sandwich (with soup) and people who came AFTER us got their food before us. My salad was sitting there while the staff was confused, that was a downside because it's wilting in real time. Again -- more training over time will fix this. I'm rating it highly for the ingredients used and presentation, but understand that this is still a new location.

We went during grand opening and it was pretty good. It was busy so we ordered online. We got the banh mi salad and try Peruvian sandwich. Each was roughly $15.50. I think the price was reasonable since both was very filling. The sandwich was very flavorful and you can taste the spices and flavors from Peru. The salad was filled with delicious pickled veggies and the flavor was also on point. Overall, it was a good first experience for me and I would definitely return.

I had tried the Peruvian Steak sandwich, and was really tasty. It tasted fresh, and the bread was nice and soft. My bf wanted to try the sandwich too, so I picked up a Peruvian Steak sandwich and a Lemon Cheesecake Cookie so he can have for his lunch the next day. Even on the next day, the sandwich was till good. He enjoyed and the cookie, and wish I got two cookies for him. And he already put in his next order for the next sandwich to pick up for him. Place is welcoming and clean, and staff is friendly.

Thanks Yelp and Mendocino. Nice, clean space in Totem lake. East parking. I ordered the Baja green goddess salad and purchased a small spicy curry couscous salad. The Baja salad is Huge! I easily ate this for three meals. Fresh ingredients and delicious. The curry couscous salad was way better than I expected it to be. Slightly spicy, creamy, and smooth. This is going to be a go to spot for me on my way home for an easy dinner. The inside of the restaurant was neat and spacious. Fun juice bar. Healthy choices. I'll be back.

Peruvian steak Sammy that we bought and had the next day as a quick lunch on the go. Heated it up and it tasted great- I was actually surprised how well it did reheated. The steak was cooked nicely and great flavors. Bread did ok despite sitting in the fridge overnight.

Love love love Mendocino farms! I'm so excited they made it to Seattle. I've been here twice already. I got the Baja green salad both times. This salad is a flavor explosion - the perfect mix of fresh greens, grilled chicken, black beans, corn, avocado, and that amazing cilantro-lime dressing. Seriously, I could drink that dressing! The portion size is generous, making it a satisfying and healthy meal. Beyond the delicious food, the service at this location was lightning fast, even during the lunch rush. I was in and out in no time. And to top it all off, parking was a breeze - a huge plus in this area. There's a garage just around the corner to the left side if the street outside the restaurant is full. To be honest $15 for a salad is pretty pricey, but if you consider the portion size and the quality ingredients that you're getting the best bang for your buck.

If you like sandwiches that look warm but are actually ice cold, then this is the place for you. They toast the bread, yet every ingredient inside tastes like it was just taken out of the fridge. It does taste good, just very misleading. I once got a side of the kale & apple rainbow salad and it was 90% apple, hardly any kale. Also, no matter how empty the place is, service is always slow which is interesting given that the sandwich are not even warmed up.I find it a bit overpriced for what you get. Another weird thing is that you cannot get any of their fountain drinks through mobile order, only when ordering for dine in.

3.5 stars- popped in for a quick lunch, food was good and fresh. I ordered the half not fried chicken sandwich with a deli kale apple salad. The sandwich was super good, I opted to get it on sourdough and the slaw was fresh, crispy bits (incredible), aioli was rich. Every bite was flavorful. The deli salad side was super small and a little too tart for me- cranberries were a good touch but the coconut lost me.

This place is beautiful. What struck me were the beautiful paintings of scenes from Seattle. It was quiet when I entered at about 8:15pm so I was able to walk around and look at all the artwork. I decided to get the Peru sandwich since it looked good and it didn't seem to have anything spicy. Boy was I wrong! It spelled so good but It was really spicy for me and I was unable to eat it. However the next day it wasn't as spicy so I was able to eat a couple bites. I gave the rest to my sister and she liked it. The serving was really good and everyone was friendly. I asked about the drinks and was told they were really sweet. I decided to just get one and it was super delicious! I'm coming back to try the guava drink next time.

So happy that Mendo opened in Totem Lake! Location is right behind Whole Foods. We both got 1/2 sandwich combo ($12) with pesto chicken sandwich & lemon chicken soup. Was hoping for tomato soup but still delicious. I also tried their tiny potato salad $3.95. Hit the spot as I was craving potato salad. I like this tiny side size but larger size also available. Everything was super fresh & delicious. They have lots of delivery orders so your food may take awhile but not too bad. Will be back to try their salads. Try it in Kirkland!

Sandwiches are always tasty and crammed with goodies. I usually order online/app and they have it prepared to the minute of the estimated time it'll take. I'd give 4 stars but this time I found paper in my sandwich still stuck to the cheese :(

For having just opened, Mendocino Farms is really on their game! I was greeted right when I got in line and an employee told me about some of their seasonal specials. I am gluten free, and the staff had an excellent grasp on what would be safe for me to eat. There were actually a ton of options! The space is really big, open, and clean. Most tables were occupied since I went shortly after the opening day, so I put my order in to go. When it was ready, they sent me a text and I picked it up from a shelf, which was nice because I didn't have to get back in line or check on my order at any point. I ordered the quinoa salad and it was so good! Really filling with a great variety of textures. I also love the caprese panini on gluten free with their tomato soup, definitely my comfort meal. I was also able to try some of their juices and they were fabulous. The pomegranate mint lemonade and the green juice were my faves. This location is quick, convenient, friendly, and has tons of healthy options. It will definitely be my new go to for quick healthy meals on the go!

Looking for a healthy sandwich or salad? You've come to the right place! Love the menu choices and drinks (especially the pomegranate drink - so refreshing). My only issue is that service is quite slow especially during peak hours. The ambiance is nice. Plenty of comfortable seating available including some high chairs. Portions are decent and filling.

One of my favorite spots in Kirkland! The location is amazing, and the service is great. I ordered the mango Thai salad without chicken, but they accidentally included it at first. They quickly replaced it and even gave me some complimentary sides to make up for the mistake--much appreciated! I've also been to the Seattle location, and while this one was a bit saltier for my taste, it's still a solid choice if you're looking for a healthy meal. I definitely recommend giving it a try!

Mendocino farms has an amazing vibe, the staff is super friendly. We were a big group and one of our vegan order came with chicken by mistake. They replaced the order immediately and provided some sides on the house. I myself being a vegetarian, loved the happy hippie sandwich. The vegan bahn mi was not my favourite, since the tofu was little too salty for me, and the sauce was a little too sweet. I liked the spicy curried couscous and pesto shells. The mango salad and other food was also enjoyable, definitely recommend this place!

We got a chicken pesto sandwich, a happy hippie, a tomato basil soup, chicken tenders, lemonade, apples and the double choc o-chip cookies. Basically, we got one of everything! The food was some of the freshest we've had. We also fell in love with their in-house bread. The staff was very sweet and friendly. The restaurant had a farm to table style decor. All-in-all a very good experience!

Super happy to find Mendocino farms has made it to Washington! Ordered a pork belly bahn mi sandwich which was delicious!!!! Loved all the flavors, fresh ingredients, crispy bread and everything melded together so well. One of my more favorite sandwiches I've had in a while. Small Side kale salad was indeed VERY small. Maybe a few bites worth but was also not bad in flavor. A bit too tart for me but it was fresh and good! Will definitely return to try more things!

Went here for lunch today and it was packed out. The line went fast and we were able to find a spot to sit fairly quick. We tried a couple of steak sandwiches, salads, and the chicken soup. Everything came out perfectly! Such a simply and delicious spot for a healthy bite to eat. The staff were all very friendly and nice. They even bussed our table throughout the meal which is unlikely for an order at the counter spot like this. Interior was bright and clean too!

Complimentary Garage parking as well as street parking available. Clean and bright location with lots of seating. Large selection of salads, sandwiches and soups. You stand in line to place your order and scan the QR code at the table to indicate where the food should be delivered. Fresh and delicious food. Will definitely be back to try the other dishes.

So excited that Mendocino is on the Eastside!! I've been a fan of Mendocino Farms since I had it for the first time in the Bay Area, but sometimes it's just a trek to get to the Seattle locations. This newly opened location is in the Totem Lake neighborhood of Kirkland, across from the Whole Foods. The interior is super bright and clean, and all the staff are very friendly. Food offerings are pretty standard across all Mendocino locations - I personally enjoy the chicken parm dip, not so fried chicken, and the chimichurri steak (warning, this one is a bit salty). I also tried their November seasonal, which was like a Thanksgiving meal in a sandwich (turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, etc) - didn't particularly enjoy the texture of this as everything was just kind of mushy. I've been here twice for pickup and while the first time was super smooth, just in and out grabbing my order, the second time left more to be desired. Seems like the kitchen got a bit backed up and there were a TON of people waiting for pickup orders. I got my order ~15-20 mins after the promised time, which wasn't the best experience. Hopefully they improve on this as they smooth things out, and that there'll be a Bellevue or Redmond location next!

The sandwiches are great! My favorite is the steak sandwich with chimichuri sauce. The staff is very friendly and the Redmond location has ample seating both indoor and outdoor. You can park at the Redmond town center parking and walk to the restaurant . The restaurant is very bright and clean and has a great ambiance and salt and straw is next door so you can grab ice cream after lunch or dinner

We've been here before and normally enjoy the food, but this experience was really disappointing. We came in with plenty of time before our movie, placed our order, and still waited over 30 minutes without receiving our food. We ended up having to ask for everything to be boxed up just so we wouldn't miss the show--so much for eating dinner beforehand. The staff was friendly, but the service was painfully slow. It honestly seemed like they were understaffed and overwhelmed. If this is going to be the norm, they really need to add more people during busy times or give guests a better heads-up about wait times. We're hoping this was just an off night, but it definitely left a bad impression and may avoid before movies going forward

The next time you're at Totem Lake Plaza, and unhappily contemplating a choice between the plastic-y Sweet Greens, or the oogy mushy chipotle, fear not! Mendocino is the solution (Semi) healthy, tasty with inventive flavor combinations. Every dish has been a pleasant surprise leaving me eager to try more of the menu. A very welcome addition!

This location is frustrating. I've ordered a few times because I generally like Mendo. But the staff is slow, not properly trained or the process is poor - I can't tell. A simple order takes forever and anything complicated is asking for something special. This last visit is I think the last time for me at this location. I ordered a quinoa salad. I got a bunch of old discolored lettuce, a few pieces of tomato and quinoa. That cost me $15. And I waited forever. When you wait that long and pay that much for a bunch of lettuce, the least they could do is make sure it's fresh.

We have been having food at Mendocino farms since the last few years in San Diego and LA. We were very excited when we saw it opened in Kirkland. They did not disappoint . The staff is friendly and it is a 5 minute drive from my place , so bye bye unhealthy fast food, welcome mendocino farm

This review pertains to the Kirkland location. They used to be really good, but for the past several weeks apparently all the quality workers have left. You are lucky to get a correct order and if you do it is quite pathetic looking with the lack of ingredients. I would avoid this place at all costs for the next several months. They have a serious QC and competency issue here.

I saw that the Mendocino Farms at Totem Lake had opened. Of course, a new restaurant and I love checking new places. Ordering on line was easy and efficient. The ability to customize my sandwich was great. I ordered the November to Remember sansandwich and soup. This is definitely one of my top ten sandwiches. The order was done much sooner than the timestamp for pickup. Luckily, I was there a bit earlier and the order had been put on the self pickup about 5 minutes before I had arrived. The only thing that was a bit irritating was that my soup was put into the bag along with my order. My soup was no longer hot when I picked up the order. Other places leave a note to talk to the staff about getting your soup fresh when picking up a to go order.

Finally a good salad and sandwich shop. I am fan of the hippie sandwich. The sides like basil pesto and potato salad are really yummy.

Great food!! Best Latino sandwich "Peruvian Steak"! You should try it! Another one, avocado quinoa superfood ensalada. For kids, pepperoni pizza melt. Great to enjoy it with the whole family.

Did they changed the to-go package? The portion got way SMALL and received in different packaging. I'm not sure if this is worth $20. Looks like the $6 salad you can find in QFC or SAFEWAY. Used to like it but not anymore after today. I will just make it at home ‍

Well, we were in the mood for sandwiches and decided to give this place a try since it's pretty new and we like checking out hot & new restaurants. It was pretty packed for lunch on Saturday. They were busy with to go orders too. But the food came pretty quickly. We are vegetarians, so we got the vegan Banh mi and the Happy Hippy with a side of couscous. The Bahn Mi was excellent! Loved the warm crunchy bread and the crispy veggies and tofu were packed with all the right flavors. The Happy Hippie was disappointing though. The sandwich was too soggy, to the point that it was falling apart. While I do like gooey sandwiches, this was a soggy mess. I did not enjoy it. The couscous was ok. It was cold. Would have been good at room temperature, at the very least. We asked if they could sub tofu instead of chicken in one of the salads and were told that will be an extra charge. I would go again just for the Bahn Mi.

I have been to this location a few times and the food is always good. The service has been top notch and the vibe is on point. I love the farmhouse club so much.

Soft opening SUCCESS! Hummus Pita Crunch Salad and Chimchurri Steak & Bacon sandwich for the win! Just as delicious and fresh as the California locations I've been to. Service was fabulous, the buzz of energy is exciting. A wonderful addition to Kirkland.

Both Salad and sandwich were delicious! Nice to find a healthy and tasty alternative to the usual fast food. The restaurant is bright, and restrooms were clean. We'll be back!
