Mendocino Farms

Love this location! I’ve had their sandwiches at other locations, but tried the crunchy salad today. It’s the best! Super healthy and delicious. Atmosphere is bright, sunny, and airy. Tall ceilings and modern design. Free WiFi and great for getting some work done too. Make sure to stop by the free art gallery across the street at ICA SF!

Honestly the food is decent, just extremely overpriced for what you get. Without the coupon I had the food in the photo would have been $25, which is just absurd. A ton of other places all around with way better value and just as good tasting food. The service was good though, very helpful stuff. Free wifi and a good place to work from as well. The food did taste pretty good, just can't support it at these price points.

I had such a great experience at Mendocino Farms! The customer service was top-notch, the guy at the register ( Willis) was super friendly, kind, and welcoming. That really stood out to me because great service is a big deal for me. It made the whole visit feel warm and positive. I’ll definitely be coming back not just for the food, but for the way I was treated. Thank you! 👏🏽💯

I was greeted by Jenny at the cash register with the biggest smile!! It honestly made my day! She was so sweet and helped me with what was on the menu and I ended up getting her favorite which was the turkey avocado verde sandwich…it was the most delicious sandwich I think I’ve ever had. The bread has to be house made and is seriously so good! I can’t wait to come back tomorrow to see Jenny and to try something else.

Recently went to Mendocino Farms for lunch and it was a great experience. Before discussing the food, which was great. I need to highlight the staff. The folks there were friendly, helpful, and eager to ensure that I had a great experience. Additionally, the cashier, who I assume was the manager was patient with me as I read off a large order for my colleagues. The salads are amazing and the chicken sandwich and strips are very fresh. It’s easy to tell which places use quality chicken and which don’t. If you’re ever looking for a high quality lunch, and you’re downtown. Check them out!

Utterly flawless, phenomenal flavor and straight fire from the first taste of both the The Impossible Taco Salad. A beautifully presented plentiful portion of wholesome, yummy superfood ingredients, fantastic and exciting flavors made this a home run for sure and I'll definitely be grubbing at this joint again. This was probably the best salad I've chowed down on in downtown SFO in a while, this joint is dope.

Nice place. Spacious. Clean. Plenty of choices including many healthy ones. Good prices in my opinion, especially compared to many other places in this city. Staff was friendly and customer focused. I had the Vietnamese sandwich which was super nice but didn't remind me at all of what I ate in Vietnam itself to be honest.

I got the ‘The Farm Club’ sandwich which is a turkey, bacon and avocado sandwich. I also got with extra turkey and avocado! I thought the sandwich was okey, it wasn’t very flavorful in my opinion. I’d give it a 6/10.

Mendocino farms where do I start? Best sandwich restaurant in the business.. amazing sandwiches and refreshing lemonade to match, beautiful artwork lol. Amazing staff as well, from Dunia, Jeremy and so on. Until next time

great food and great service best mendocino farms location the food is always fresh and ready on time great manager

starting off with location, this MF shop in FiDi is beautiful! the tiling, the lighting, the large availability of seating - i can imagine it filling up during weekday lunchtime. on a wednesday evening, there was no line and service was very quick. i ordered a 1/2 chicken pesto caprese and 1/2 thai sweet potato soup combo (about $17 after tax)! the soup was a nice, warm touch to the meal and was an interesting amalgamation of tom yum, lemongrass, and white cheddar broccoli soup! but the chicken pesto caprese was the star of the show for me. the chicken was tender and juicy, plentiful to the point where it would fall off the sides with each bite. the pesto was tastefully placed, and worked hand in hand with the chicken and lettuce and other toppings to deliver a well-rounded bite that leaves you wanting more. beat my expectations by far for sure!!!

Their food is amazing! Whatever you'll have is fine with high quality ingredients. My favorite is Peruvian Sandwich. A little bit of kick. So yummy. They used to have samples at the counter, not sure they still have those. It's worth mentioning that it's a little too pricey.

Mendocino Farms you had me at your deliciously crafted sandwiches and savory sides because when looking for a place to nosh while exploring the urban jungle of the Financial District of downtown San Francisco, what else do you need? Located in the heart of the city along California Street in an ornate yet solidly cement building that has no doubt had a past life as a financial institution, as this ornate decor continues as you enter through the glass doors into the single-floor kitchen, Mendocino Farms began two decades ago in Los Angeles by married couple Mario Del Pero and Ellen Chen. Their intention for Mendocino Farms was to create a fast-casual brand that focuses on quality ingredients and community building with multiple locations across California with sandwiches, salads, and sides that are hearty and perfect enough for both lunch and dinner. With multiple locations across Los Angeles, expansion to Northern California was almost inevitable and the newly expanding restaurant group chose quite the epicenter for one of their first restaurants in San Francisco. What brought me and group of work colleagues here on a warm afternoon was a craving for sandwiches and the perfect need for some sustenance, and of course with our work group using Mendocino Farms as the perfect place to call upon for sandwich delivery, we decided that making a field trip to California Street at the noon hour to enjoy a lunchtime meal for all. At that hour, this location is hopping with people with a line already in their queue waiting to order and then additional people are waiting in their open dining area ready to either enjoy their food in their restaurant or to take out. The menu at Mendocino Farms is rather simple, as it is broken up into categories including Sandwiches, of which they have two versions Foodie Favorites and Craveable Classics, Salads, Kids Meals, Chef's Creations, 1/2 Sandwich Combos, and Deli Sides and more. Although I have had the opportunity to try two of their signature sandwiches including their Chimichurri Steak & Bacon, which also had red peppers. caramelized onion jam, chimichurri and herb aioli, and their Chicken Pesto Caprese, which had marinated red peppers, basil pesto, and a balsamic glaze drizzle. But upon my first in-person visit to their restaurant I opted to go with a Prosciutto & Chicken sandwich was was made with Italian prosciutto & shaved, roasted chicken breast topped with fresh mozzarella, crushed honey roasted almonds, basil pesto, balsamic glaze drizzle, tomatoes and served on panini-pressed ciabatta. To pair with my meal I ordered one of their seasonal sides, their Southern Macaroni Salad which was creamy macaroni with pickled peppadew peppers, roasted red peppers, smoked gouda, spinach, celery. Scallions, and a little kick of cayenne. It wouldn't take too long for my order to be ready for pickup as they hand you a transponder that vibrates when your order is ready. My sandwich was both sweet and savory thanks to the combination of prosciutto and balsamic glaze drizzle that was nicely balanced by a decent chunk of chicken breast. The macaroni salad was a nice pairing that made me wish I ordered an additional amount, as this was seasonal and would not last for much longer. No sandwich at Mendocino Farms was over seventeen dollars, and they were filled with enough variety of ingredients that you'd have to visit over twenty times and you still get to enjoy a different meal. An affordable lunchtime sandwich shop that satiates the appetite downtown and still exists downtown? Color me surprised and happy that Mendocino Farms is still around and ready to expand with more locations to experience!

This was my first time ordering from Mendocino Farms with a group order from my office. I ordered the peach and goat cheese salad which was heavy on the black pepper which for me was a big win but I can imagine other people finding it too spicy. I would definitely order this again! Everything was fresh and the serving size was enough to keep me full for the rest of the afternoon.

A decent place to eat in downtown San Francisco. We have a vegan banh mi ciabatta panini and the impossible taco salad with vegan chipotle ranch. They have good vegan and vegetarian options. Service was good. Casual ambiance. Parking on the street.

Grabbed salads here to eat on the plane ride back to NYC. Mama Chen's Chinese Chicken Salad was amazing as always. Avocado & Quinoa Superfood Ensalada with chicken added was only okay though - will try something else next time.

A little bit pricey but worth it for the quality of food you're getting here. The flavors really come through and the sandwich options are amazing. I usually really like their specials but the banh mi is always a favorite for me. Easy to order online and avoid the wait. They're usually quite busy!

Very solid lunch option. Portions were the perfect size and my sandwich was tasty. The salad looked fantastic, next time I will opt for that.

Walked in and checked out the menu. They have a lot of variety and I had the half banh mi and soup for an amazing deal. I was stuffed after! My tummy and budget were smiling. Place is clean, rest room is clean. Fast service! Definitely check this place out!

Location 2nd St, Mendocino Farms is amazing! All the staff are fabulous, kind, welcoming, helpful, and have excellent customer service! The place is clean, great lighting and the waterfall outside is beautiful to sit and have lunch. Judy, the supervisor is one phenomenal person. Judy is detail-oriented, has strong leadership, is great at problem-solving, while fostering a positive and productive team environment. Ensuring food safety and efficient operations. Caitlin the Catering Specialist, is welcoming, keeps a smile on her face, and has excellent communication. The entire team is customer-focused, quick service, and a motivating team! I enjoy this place so much, I intend on trying everything on the menu.

This Mendocino Farms is consistent and has fantastic service. My favorites are the not so fried chicken sandwich, pork belly banh mi salad (please bring it back!) and curry couscous. It's very convenient to order online/over phone, and pick up is easy. It gets fairly crowded on weekdays around lunchtime, so I recommend ordering ahead for those times.

I really loved Mama Chen's Chinese Chicken Salad (no cilantro for me) as a perfect takeout salad for lunch. So delicious!

Solid Sammy that filled me up and was super tasty! Can't really mess up a banh mi, but nonetheless this one was really good. Service was fast as well even though I went at a busy time. I don't remember her the name, but to the kind African American lady that helped me out needed a shout out cause she made my day with her kindness. Feel free to check this spot out for some decently priced sammies or salads!

Mendocino Farms pulled out all the stops on their taco salad, complete with vegan ranch dressing by default. YES! Factoring in the Impossible taco meat, corn, black beans, tomatoes, crispy quinoa, and generous fan of fresh avocado slices, this is everything you could ever ask for in a bowlful of greens and vegetables. Even more bonus points for offering a vegan cookie for dessert.

Food is fresh and flavorful, service was great employees make you feel welcomed, the place is very accessible and friendly bathroom was very clean, I live in Manteca ca and every time we have the chance we stop by and take food back home we ordered the mama chens chicken salad very delicious. Totally recommended

Had to stop by my favorite Mendo today in the FiDi and had one of their best sandwiches, the not so fried chicken and added avocado. So delicious! Perfectly toasted crunchy bread, fresh ingredients and plenty of avocado in it! Loved it! The service is always a 10 out of 10 as well!

Mendocino Farms has some of my favorite salads in the city. Their Impossible Taco Salad and Avocado and Quinoa Superfood Salad are my go-to's. They are always healthy, flavorful, texture-rich, and reliable. This location is bright, clean, and has plenty of seating, making it the perfect casual lunch or dinner spot. It also had a super friendly cashier this evening! Please note, however, that because this location is in the Financial District, it is only open during the weekdays since the neighborhood is almost a ghost town on weekends.

I absolutely loved the bright and airy feel to the restaurant. Considering it's in the FiDi and catered to those who prefer take out, I found it very welcoming for dining in. I got their modern caesar and it was perfect. I loved the combination of lettuce and kale and especially the fried quinoa for topping.

Hot honey, peach, and prosciutto sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had (and we are Limoncello regulars.). The sesame bun and sweet and spicy sauce and crunchy almonds... wow!

GREAT FOOD GREAT Service and it's healthy! I order same thing every morning for breakfast turkey avocado sando. Tony always takes care of me he's the best!

Smooth ordering process but a little overpriced considering portion size. I ordered online as part of a group order (the interface was very challenging - I somehow got kicked out of the order as the creator of it and so we couldn't send in our orders for the longest time). We got there a bit earlier than our order was supposed to be ready and it was very busy and hectic in there - definitely not the place to go for a quiet lunch. The sandwich itself was ok but I felt like they skimmed out on some toppings. There was barely any avocado mash, herb aioli, tomatoes or bacon (I probably spotted one piece of bacon in the entire sandwich). Overall, it's not bad if you want something quick and healthy.

As a vegan/vegetarian family we appreciated the clarity of the options clearly stated on menu. The sides were fabulous. Vegan potato salad was 5 star! Great service even when packed!!!

Don't walk, RUN to get the hot honey prosciutto sandwich before the summer ends! It was AMAAAZING. one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The hot honey was just the right amount of heat while being so flavorful. The restaurant was clean and had lots of seating. They were fast and so nice. Chocolate chip cookie was pretty hard/stale. Wouldn't get that again. They were able to accommodate my nut allergy w no issues. Will be coming back.

I went here once and loved it. Super delicious and a nice atmosphere to feel truly rejuvenated on my lunch break.

Bright, lots of windows, big graphics " Eat Happy" greets you.... It's loud, but in the late afternoon I would have preferred quieter... timing is important. Good food, thoughtful presentation, salads look impressive. Warm Sandwiches were good, tasty sauces and bread. Fun to try the a few of the many custom drinks. Friendly fast service. Lots of to go business- and pickup shelves just for this.

Every time I come to the city and I want a good salad I can't help to stop by Mendocino Farms. The food it's so FRESH and delicious. This is one of my favorite stores, it's always clean and the staff super friendly. The store Manager it's always present and makes sure we the customers are happy with our food and their service. I recommend for you to stop by and try it for yourself.

Went in there for lunch had an amazing experience. Everyone was very welcome they offered me the chicken parm dip, which was delicious. Totally recommended it for a twist in the traditional dips.

Demolished my food! So healthy, fresh, clean atmosphere! Friendly and helpful workers! Coming here for a nice light lunch!

Saw a dine-out promotion on DD and decided to take a trip to explore this location on a Saturday afternoon. Ordered the seasonal sweet peach and goat cheese salad, and I LOVE it. I ended up not using the dressing. The salad itself was already come with some flavoring and I liked it that way. Space is bright and spacious. Overall a very nice place to hangout.

Ordered this via delivery and I was so impressed! My friends and I were feeling too lazy to cook a homemade meal and wanted a healthy alternative. I've always walked past this place and had to try it. I ordered their elote bowl and it was so delicious. It had the perfect combination of crunch and flavor. I really enjoyed the tender chicken and sauce that came in a separate container. I would love to come here in person next time and try something else on their expansive menu.

A vegetarian salad with just avocado and quinoa among other things - how good could it be? Even I was skeptical, but after reading all the reviews and seeing how much hype this salad was getting, I went for it.... ... and I'm now hooked. It's just a salad, but it's a damn great one. Crunchy. Spice from the chipotle dressing. Creaminess from the avo. Saltiness from the cheese. It's got everything you could ask for. Okay maybe not much protein - you can add chicken if you want but you don't really need it unless you're trying to hit your protein macros or something lol. Pretty $$ for just a salad, but aren't all these salad places just plain overpriced, so what can you do. Probably the epitome of a California salad. Nuff said.

Yesterday January 2nd, I returned to my office and to start my year, I visited one of my favorite places. And was extremely busy day however the team was working hard and as fast as they could in a very professional and friendly way. Thank you for doing what you do without losing your cool.

This is my first time writing a review, unfortunately, it's not a good one. The 465 California Street location was severely understaffed which led to me waiting two hours for my order. There was no communication between the employees and the customers waiting. I tried to cancel my order, but they said they weren't able to. After asking multiple times for my order, they had found that my order had been sitting there. The sandwich was not good. I would not recommend anyone to come here, especially during lunch hours. There are plenty of alternatives in the FIDI area.

I recently had the chicken parm dip sandwich and it was the perfect sandwich. It has become one of my favorites, I could eat multiple times and not get tired of it!! I also loved that you could dip it in the spicy sauce. It was so savory and delightful! I highly recommend this place to eat it's worth it

I can always count on Dunia, Rod and Staff at this location! The food is always fresh. Environment is always welcoming. This location of team members should be modeled as the top Store within the Bay Area! Thank you again Dunia, Rod & staff for always having our experience @11/10 at this location!!

Super friendly helpful customer service, neat and clean spartan interior and banging food. We got their chicken pesto caprese panini, soooo tasty more than the sum of its parts. Their turkey club on whole/multi grain so fresh with crispy bacon and fairly insipid tomato but it's not in season so can't fault them. They're sides of pesto pasta and chicken grain lemon soup, hearty and filling--I would've preferred it more lemony but that's just personal preference. We got our stuff to go, though parking is not difficult especially if you look on the side streets, the portions are generous and prices reasonable.

I have just left the restaurant after ordering vegeterian meal and been served meat in my without telling me . The first time they served meat instead of vegeterian food I accepted their claim they made a mistake and returned another time for lunch. They again after several times I ordered luch served me meat in my vegetretian order. Today is the third time and the last time I will go there for a meal. Enough is enough.

Their food is very safe n healthy. We had the salads, sandwiches and loved it. Will go again

Food was excellent for fast casual. I had a chicken lemon soup and Caesar salad. My kiddo had chicken fingers and has been asking to go back. Staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Great spot for lunch! The portion sizes are generous and the food itself is very good. The menu is pretty creative and seasonal, so it will not be boring if you come again. Since it's in the financial district, it got pretty busy for lunch, but the line moved quickly. Looking forward to next time!

Your standard Mendocino Farms. You can't go wrong with their Thai Mango Chicken Salad. This location is always super busy on weekdays around lunch time. I like going here though in particular because of the friendly staff and great service!

Stale bread from a Turkey Sandwich I hope the food I ordered for my client is better I'm dissatisfied

Rodrigo was a HUGE help in getting our order in time for our business meeting. Delicious and reliable!

Happy to have some mendocino farms while on vacation to help clean the pipes! Their salads are pretty good. My babacare couldnt wait to go and she got the chicken tenders. Def would come back maybe tomorrow for dinner since there aint many options in the financial district at night time

Stopped in during my lunch break the other day. Salad was so good I had to come and leave a review. So far I've had the Avacado Quinoa and the Peach/Goat Cheese. Both delicious. Both had to be eaten in two servings. Love the vibe there. Cashier was super sweet, made small talk. The manager was great too. Checked to make sure I didn't need anything else before leaving even though she was busy.

Recently went to Mendocino Farms for lunch and it was a great experience. Before discussing the food, which was great. I need to highlight the staff. The folks there were friendly, helpful, and eager to ensure that I had a great experience. Additionally, the cashier, who I assume was the manager was patient with me as I read off a large order for my colleagues. The salads are amazing and the chicken sandwich and strips are very fresh. It's easy to tell which places use quality chicken and which don't. If you're ever looking for a high quality lunch, and you're downtown. Check them out!

Always fresh, great quality, a little pricy but you get what you pay for. I used them for business lunches and personal meals. I give them my highest recommendation
