“Met some friends for a casual lunch and very pleased. Nice menu for sandwiches, pizza and other items. Very reasonable prices. Brenda was very friendly and efficient in taking our order. The pizza was thin crust and very tasty. One person ordered the soup and was very pleased. Parking was easy and lots of local business people were walking in to get orders.“

“We came in for a late lunch and had a wonderful experience! We ordered a side garden salad, the beef meatballs, a veggie pizza, and a pepperoni pizza. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and quick! The meatballs were delicious. Our waitress was very kind, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Will definitely be coming back.“

“I've bought pizza here twice, the first time it was perfect, my favorite in the area. Strong undercarriage, good quality cheese, crispy pepperoni. But yesterday it was overdone, burned in some places and the crust was tough and crumbled like a cracker upon biting. My impression is that Avanti can make great pizza, but it's inconsistent.“

“This place literally has the best salads ever. They’re consistently fresh with their ingredients & so tasty every time! We usually order in for work & i always rave about them. My coworkers love them too! Huge plus since they have halal chicken. My favorite is the cali-ceezer.“

“So good! Our first time and definitely not our last!“

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.“

“Fresh and tasty! Don’t forget it’s healthy, too! Highly recommend!“

“Pricey. But very high-quality. Had a CHICKEN CHOLULA, very tasty, a little bit spicy, enjoyed it. If you get the clam chowder (which is great), they’ll give you toasted pieces of sourdough with it. But if you rather have soft instead of toasted pieces of sourdough, just ask them.“

“Most importantly it is perfect for people who are on gluten free diet and still want to enjoy f ry iced chicken.If you like crunchy fried chicken with lots of chicken, not only panning, and tasty sauce this is the place . The Seoul sandwich had the crispiest chicken and was big enough to share. The thai salad was fresh and we all enjoyed the peach lemonade.

Dietary restrictions: Most of the menu is Gluten free , even the french fried are crisped up with rice flour.“

“Love the indoor/patio ambience Menu selection,,,food ,,,,especially variety of bruschettas Drink selection as well,,,, mimosas,,,sangria Would like more live music“

“Was excited to try Tony Gemignani’s “Apricot Fields” slice (exclusive to Mountain View), and he did not disappoint. Chalk up another winner that went great with our Cal-Italia, and the Wise Guy. A little Hot Honey and extra fig preserve allowed us to add a custom touch as each desired. Can’t even complain about the wait for a closer Slice House, because I know Tony Respects the Craft too much to rush any location before they are up to the highest standards. Bravo!“

“Hamburgers are beyond delicious.“

“fast customer service and good food“

“This is quickly becoming the go-to pizza place for me and my friends. I love the pizza, especially with the stuffed crust. The crust is good, the sauce is good, and the cheese is good. And they have fantastic value as well. I spent less than $30 for a large pizza with stuffed crust, and I was able to pick out either a soda or pint of ice cream free of charge.“

“Our family went to the downtown MV Pokéworks on Friday afternoon to do take out and were delighted to find this location on Castro Street nicely blocked off, shaded, with ample clean and widely spaced seating if you want to dine-outside. Really highly recommend this location of Pokeworks - you can order&pay online and the manager of this location is meticulous about safety and YUMMY food. They even have the Disneyland DoleWhip for dessert 🤤.“

“First time visiting. Delighted to find a hand-pulled noodle soup place in DT MV.

Noodle portion is good. Would love the width of the flat noodles be half of its current size.

The on-the-house cabbage appetizer could serve w/o jalapeños as my mouth was burning even after I took them out & put the cabbage into my Chef’s Beef noodle soup.

Friendly staff. Glad to see fe/male restrooms.

Frozen dumplings made-to-go.

Will be back to taste other items!“

Loved the decor, the ambiance, the service, the location and the food ofcourse! Had ordered the Breakfast Sandwich, Avocado toast, Matcha and the Cafe latte. Everything was good. It’s so peaceful place located in a corner.“

“We sat indoors in the dining room beautifully set up by the window for lunch. There were five of us; we enjoyed the room to ourselves for the whole time we dined.

“I pick up lunch here every week day. I don’t plan on stopping unless I stop working nearby. I had the same salad for a month straight now. It is the best place for a nutritious meal. The lunch time staff are the best. Thank you for a great experience!“

“Moderately expensive sandwich place with a Peet's coffee station in a different area of the cafe. Good varied selection to choose from. However note that they do not take cash! You pay using credit or debit card only. Also the paper receipt I got had faded ink so some places so be careful if u need it for business reimbursements. They give you an indicator which will light up when your order is ready and you have to come by to pick up your order. You can get free regular water from a fountain tap or buy the bottled water or other drinks. Sandwich I got was of moderate size and tasted fine. They have outdoor tables with overhead umbrellas to shade against the sun.“

“Incredibly friendly atmosphere. Perfect for studying and sipping on a warm drink. Staff is friendly and genuine. Food is served in HUGE portions and you can’t beat the price. Have been here countless times!“

“Incredibly delicious. Friendly atmosphere. Awesome.“

“Mendocino Farms – Salad Sorcery & Sandwich Gold in Palo Alto

Mendo Farms is the kind of spot that turns skeptics into salad believers and sandwich lovers into loyalists. Every visit is consistently solid, like clockwork but tastier.

The Not So Fried Chicken sandwich? A masterpiece. Crunchy enough to feel sinful, but technically “not fried,” so your conscience stays clear. And the Peruvian Steak sandwich? Smoky, tangy, a little spicy—it’s basically a culinary mic drop.

But the real flex here? Their salads are wizardry. Somehow hearty, fresh, and balanced without ever feeling like rabbit food. The portion ratio? Chef’s kiss. No sad lettuce pile here—you’re getting flavor-packed bites all the way down.

Whether you’re grabbing lunch between meetings or fueling up for a Stanford stroll, Mendocino Farms keeps it casual, creative, and ridiculously craveable.“

“My kids and I love this place, the employees are so so nice and patient, the place is so clean and welcoming, there's a nice and affordable coffee shop. My kids refuse to go home every time we visit there.“

“Okay so the service is excellent! Gabrielle was very helpful and knowledgeable on the menu. We had the avocado quinoa salad and the chicken sandwich spicy one. It was okay. The salad was a little different Grinding crunchy quinoa which for 35 and up freaks you out because it feels like a tooth broke! If you have allergies it might be hard to pick through food as my man is allergic to corn and onion and it was all over the food. The juice is awesome but lemonade was too sweet! They should fix by the juice because it was a mess of dirty towels. Overall I give this place a 4 because it’s a great concept with good service but needs to clean up a little. Would I come here again??? Maybe if someone wanted it. So it’s not a no. Kiddos to awesome employees.“
