Mendocino Farms

A really good experience! I got a really tasty sandwich, and the staff helped me feel confident in the safety of the food. The sandwich itself was plenty of food; I ended up taking the side home with me for later.

The bread held together nicely while holding my sandwich, as well.

I got the Chimchurri steak and bacon sandwich and it was soooo delicious!! I got it on their gluten free bread with a kale and apple rainbow salad! Both were really good but the sandwich was the star. I didn’t get glutened. It is a safe place to eat. I feel there is a decent amount of gluten free items. You have some options to choose from instead of having a select few.

I tried Mendocino Farms for a work lunch today. My cashier was very helpful in addressing my celiac disease as I explained up front what it was and she flagged my ticket as gluten allergy and explained that they would change gloves and handle with care.

What concerns me is they have GF and RGF markings on the menu to indicate what is already gluten free and what can be requested gluten free. I ordered a pink beets and goat cheese salad which is marked as “GF,” but when I made the clerk double check and she pulled out a binder with ingredient information, she said they had to remove both the honey roasted almonds AND the goat cheese from the salad in order for it to be gluten free. It is unclear to me whether they pose a contamination risk or literally contain gluten, but either way, this is clearly not something that should be marked as GF if they have to modify it.

This restaurant also poses the usual problems of charging $15 for a salad and modifying several of the core ingredients without removing the charges. This is not atypical, just annoying

Went here for lunch, great option as everything is marked as gluten free or can be made gluten free. They noted it all down on my order and had no issues or reaction!

They were very accommodating to my gluten sensitivity and even cleaned the countertop to ensure no cross contamination. Very much so recommend!
