Mendocino Farms never disappoints. The avocado quinoa salad is my go-to now, and before I went vegan, I also loved the Caprese veggie panini, which was always a favorite. I was first introduced to Mendocino Farms back in 2014 or 2015, and it’s been a place I’ve continued to come back to over the years. The Brea location is my go-to, even though it’s a bit of a drive for me, but it’s definitely worth it.
If you have any substitutions or specific preferences, just let the staff know. They’re always helpful and accommodating. I once had to come back a second time because I messed up my own order, and the staff and management were incredibly kind and didn’t charge me for the second order. They truly cared and showed respect, especially knowing it was a drive for me.
They really take care of their customers and make sure everything is done right. I can never give this place less than five stars. Consistent, welcoming, and always a great experience.

There was no peanut butter and jelly in my peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They just gave me two slices of bread.

This spot has always got some high quality sandwiches that are fresh and yummy. Somehow their menu items have done a fantastic job and getting the best of both worlds when it comes to being on the healthier side while at the same time hitting all the flavor spots in your mouth. The sandwiches are great, so you’ll have to return to try them all. The couscous is amazingly good too and one of our favorite sides.

Although the quality of the food was great as always, the service was rushed and unprofessional. We walked in at 735pm. The inside of the restaurant had 2 other families when we entered, and there was over an hour left before the 9pm closing time, but it appeared as if the staff was already cleaning up prepping for closing. We placed our order at 7:40pm (check #311). We received our order approximately 30 minutes later. I had to get it myself from the counter, as what I assume was the manager based on her uniform, was very slow and focused on other matters instead of passing out the food that had been sitting on the counter for minutes. I don’t ever mind getting my order just don’t make it seem as if you’re going to bring it out to each table if this is not going to be a priority. By 8:10pm, an employee was already emptying out every single drink dispenser into plastic containers with lids. If anyone wanted a refill, the only way to get one was for the young lady to open the lid of the applicable container, stick a small plastic cup inside, and pour the chosen lemonade into each customer’s cup (I’ve noticed this on a prior visit). Your food is too good to be accompanied by crummy service. Oh, and by the way, your website doesn’t allow for expressing this type of concern. I attempted to do leave this information via your “Contact us” feature 3 times, and finally gave up after being frustrated when the “submit” button did nothing.

I go here for lunch with friends 1x a week. I've had salads, sandwiches & lemon something soup. Everything including the staff have been great.
Every sandwich I have tried here has been amazing, but if they ever get rid of the turkey avo salsa verde I will riot!! Most sandwiches are shareable!

The dining atmosphere is nice outside on a beautiful SoCal day. It’s a little loud but it is crowded lunch hour. Service was friendly and fast. Food was very good. Had the 1/2 sandwich( not so fried chix ) and corn chili soup. Friend had the chix prosciutto sandwich. Very filling and yummy. I would go back.

Sarah and Arely have always been very kind and helpful throughout my visits here! The vegan bang mi is always my favorite to get with a side of their spicy sriracha sauce and their service and presence always make it a cooler experience! Thank you so much and to the entire team of Mendocino Farms in brea!!!! :D

Been eating here on a regular basis for a long time…However the last time I ordered a sandwich with extra meat and received half of the normal serving, so I will not be paying $15. For 2 slices of bread again period !! Most likely because I tipped $1 less than 15% for a single sandwich when I came to pick up my food they said someone had taken it and did I want my $ back …. Very pathetic
