Mendocino Farms, Pasadena CA

The air-dried chicken that I went to Mendocino Farms for every week is still on the menu but not what you get on your plate which is just breading. I know all about the inflation over the past three years from wars against China, Russia and Iran but if they just raised their prices I would still be eating there.

When the staff makes sandwiches correctly, they are absolutely fantastic!

Unfortunately, a lot of times this is not the case. They forget to double toast, do not put extras, or are not generous enough on avocado spreads.

Also, the area inside is very cold, while the outside area is constantly packed. For whatever reason, the Door Dush guys really like hanging out there in the front and are making a lot of noise / watching loud videos on their phones and occupying tables in the already busy restaurant.

All of them are very nice sweet kind and respectful i recommended everyone to go there I go there all the time with my daughter I recommend the Peruvian steak sandwich

Delicious place! Had a great experience at the DT location, and decided to try out the Pasadena one.

It was good! What still impresses me the most is the fresh ingredients they use, you can really taste it! What we've ordered so far were all pretty good, I love their Avocado & Quinoa superfood salad and pink lady beets & goat cheese salad the most. So refreshing. "Save Drake Farm" salad with citrus vinaigrette was also pretty good. Don't sleep on their soups, they're also really tasty. I recommend their creamy potato Leak & Greek lemon chicken Farro soup. Service was fast and friendly. Parking is easy, there is a huge lot behind the restaurant.

The only downside would be the portions, I feel like it's getting smaller and smaller each time. Also, the Chimichurri steak & Shishito bowl was not the best steak I've had. It was kinda chewy and dry.

All in all, good service and fresh ingredients. Will def be returning soon!

Went for first time when it was a cold day. Had chicken cypress half sandwich and leek and potato soup. It was delicious. Really hit the spot. Very clean and fast service.

Mendocino Farms, healthy good, never empty place, in the heart of Pasadena.
Totally recommend it.

Too expensive for a small sandwich. I know everything is alot of $$. But man $18.00 for a turkey sandwich. Nope

When I’m craving salad, this is one of the two places I go to in Pasadena. The place is bright and clean and the food is served pretty quickly. The Thai mango salad is my favorite, but in the fall season the harvest salad with prosciutto really stands out. They serve two kinds of steak sandwiches but the one with bacon and chimichurri sauce is the best! The drinks are inventive, the rose lemonade is a must try.

Love Mendocino Farms in general. For this particular one I’d say the climate control was freezing in the restaurant and the salads were overdressed (premade and can’t get the dressing on the side)

Mendocino Farms is a popular restaurant that offers a wide range of delicious sandwiches, salads, and sides with high-quality ingredients sourced from local farmers and artisanal producers. The atmosphere at Mendocino Farms is casual and welcoming, with plenty of seating options available both indoors and outdoors. We had a party of 16 (adults & children) eat on the patio for dinner, and the staff was very welcoming.some even helping to hold trays and run back to get utensils. I believe their items are locally sourced, and the takeout material is eco-friendly.
There are options for meat-eaters and vegetarians. Their sandwiches are very flavorful, with unique combinations like the "Kurobuta Pork Belly Banh Mi" and the "Not So Fried Chicken. " The salads are tasty & a popular choice, featuring fresh greens and unique toppings like pickled beets and shaved fennel.
Overall, my family and I love this place- Mendocino Farms is a great choice for a casual lunch or dinner in Pasadena. There are a few MFs sprinkled around So-Cal, but this one is closest to home.

Fresh, delicious, flavorful, healthy food and drinks. Friendly, helpful staff. Super clean inside. Wish I had taken pics to post.

Location is about an hour from where I live. It is definitely a spot I would make the drive for a return visit. Our group of 4 raved about everything we tried throughout the meal.

We love Mendocino farms.

The healthy green drinks are what we come in for most!

This location is wonderful, clean and friendly.

It has been the best, so far I like everything salads sandwich and so on, great texture, flavor and quality of products

The quinoa avacado is probably one of the best salads from any quick serve restaurant. Their assorted lemonade also really refreshing.
