Amazing homemade lemonades options. Really tasty sandwiches and soup combos. Great place for vegetarians and vegans. Cool ambiance and indoor/outdoor sitting for small and large groups.

This is one of those places you may drive by and wonder if it’s a good place to eat. Let me assure you: It is! They are known for their sandwiches, but let me tell you, it’s the SALADS we always come back for. We used to go to the one in Encinitas, but now that we’ve relocated to Del Mar, another shop is literally two blocks away.

My favorite part about this place is the ambiance and the relaxing environment. This is a perfect spot for lunch meetings since there are lots of seated space. The food is light (mostly sandwiches), and they do have various side options from soups to salads to drinks. Everything does take a while to make and serve — as in, these sandwiches aren’t getting prepared deli speed / deli style. With that said, don’t come here if you are in a hurry and expecting to just pick up a sandwich real quick. I always end up getting some variation of a turkey sandwich. I do personalize my orders quite a bit, and they haven’t gotten it wrong yet!

Great sandwiches! My son and I loved our lunch at Mendocino Farms. We rarely eat at restaurants these days but they have a great outdoor eating area. Tables are well spaced and it’s very clean. My son had the Club sandwich and I had the Not So Fried Chicken sandwich. Both were delicious!

The family went out to eat after our youngest daughter, Jourdan, received her certification. The atmosphere was excellent & our meals were delicious. Highly recommend.

We ordered a Hot Honey Peach Prosciutto Sandwich and a farm club. The person who went accidentally mixed up my order and asked for none of the aioli on the Hot Honey sandwich but add balsamic, but it didn’t matter because they didn’t add either AND they also didn’t add the peaches, which left the sandwich bland and dry. This was our first time ordering here and considering how expensive each sandwich is for the amount of food you get this was incredibly disappointing.

Didn’t have high expectations, thinking this was another version of Panera, but wow what a surprise! Everything we ordered was delicious, fresh, and well-portioned. All the sides are awesome, the lemonades were tasty, and the staff were very friendly.
