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,...

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.

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.
