    Matcha ginger latte
    Natasha S.

    We were walking around downtown and were looking for a hot beverage to enjoy in this cold weather. We stumbled upon Mendolasa. The cash register is located in the front. There was a small line and we looked at the menu in the meantime. Right away we noticed that none of the menus had any prices. We decided to go ahead and go with a matcha ginger latte. We sat at a table and waited and soon noticed that folks who had ordered drinks after us, received their's. We checked in and they said it was coming right up. We finally got our drink and it was grainy, very sweet milk. We were excited for a warm spiced drink and this was the exact opposite. We said it was too sweet and she said that's just the powder. We won't be coming back.

    I am so glad I'm finally getting the chance to right this review- I came in last Wednesday and had a really great experience. The lady's working are SO nice and have great customer service. I got a honey dew milk tea with strawberry popping boba and my fiancé got a strawberry banana smoothly with boba. Charming little stop in the heart of Fort Bragg. One of the gals working offered us a couple free slices of day old pie, she had explained they had a lot left over still and it going to go out and give out pastries and cookies to the homeless. I think that is so awesome! The slices we got were cherry pies and they we absolutely delicious, the crust was flakey, fruit was just the right amount of sweet and tart at the same time. The inside seating area was really nice. The stores really clean and they had walls of magnets which I think was so cute. This is only my second time stopping here and the first time was actually during Covid when their inside area was closed off and they were only using the front serving window. But they were so nice the first time I came in I knew I had to come back, and I am SO glad I did. I'd definitely recommend stopping here if you like boba! :)

    Stopped by here with my partner for a nice drink. Asked the owner for a recommendation and she suggested strawberry and lychee. My partner got honeydew and we both had regular boba and lychee jelly inside. The honeydew was very refreshing and the strawberry lychee was so sweet and delicious. The boba inside was perfect!

    See all

    The lattes were basically weak coffee with some foam on top. One of the worst I've had in a long time. Very amateur.

    I recommend the Tiger milk tea known as (Brown sugar milk tea) boba or a honeydew with green apple popping boba.

    Great coffee, but avoid the powdered drinks (chai, mocha, etc) if you want them iced because you're…read moregoing to have clumps of powder in the bottom of your drink. Wish they'd use Tazo chai. It's a liquid so it doesn't clump and it just tastes better. They're super friendly and the owner almost always takes a moment to chat with each customer. While this does add a small wait time in the drive thru, it also makes customers feel seen. They have indoor seating available now and it's really nice and cozy. Going into winter, it would be cool if they had like a little fireplace, even one of those fake ones Whatever you do--don't leave without trying one of their delicious pastries and a loaf of their house-baked bread!

    Service was good, cheery sweet ladies took care of me…read more I wasn't a big fan of the food I got: breakfast burrito and the bear claw. The breakfast burrito had so much cheese I could *squeeze* out the cheese. The sausage is the same sausage you would get on pizza which is fine just thought I should note that to folks. I couldn't find any egg in my burrito, but maybe that's because it's buried in cheese. Id recommend filling out the burrito a bit more with some country potatoes, and a little salt and pep could go a long way. The bear claw is a bit sad, little hard. I got a black coffee, it was fine as black coffee should be. Decent vibes and the layout for the drive thru section was straightforward.

    As with most Starbucks, when you ask for "no foam" and emphasize that you literally want NO foam as…read moreyou have a gag reflex to foam, they mess up and still leave a lot. I watched the girl pour mine, and she did one pour to fill the cup, then dumped out the rest of the steamed soy milk (what a waste!) and then did one quick terrible scoop of the foam, which leaves a ton of foam on there. The correct way to do it -- as I've seen Starbucks managers train employees to do -- is to fill the cup using the spoon to hold back as much foam as possible, then use the spoon to scoop the foam off the top (this is where most Starbucks stop and don't take extra steps). THEN pour more of the steamed milk into the cup (again using spoon to hold back foam), and then scoop again -- and keep doing this until the cup is full, and there is NO foam (about three times). So you see, if you prematurely dump out your steamed milk and waste it, you cannot achieve this final foam-free cup. And that is what they did here, was waste the steamed milk, and give me a cup full of an entire inch+ of foam on top. Yuck. I even told the girl this better way to do it, and she smiled and said "Yes, that's the best way." So then, why didn't she do it? On a positive note, after I proceeded to remove the foam myself, the drink underneath was delicious. Also, the Spicy Falafel Pockets are not listed on their menu inside, I had to ask if they carried them at this location since it wasn't listed. They do. And these are super delicious! So good, we went back in to order a second round of them. Luckily they had enough, but you know... that's probably because you can't sell what's not listed on your menu. People won't know about them! So I advise you ensure they are advertised. Also of note, the second time we went back in to order more Spicy Falafel Pockets, they set the paper bags in a puddle of coffee from someone else's cup... Why set our food in a mess like that? Overall, delicious. But your training needs improvement (how to ensure no foam) and not setting customer food in liquid messes, and your menus need to include what you offer.

    Who manages this location? Anyone?? Order placed at 0826 on my mobile appt. I get there and it's…read morenot super busy but not slow either. At 0840 I'm still waiting, girl says, "it's gonna be awhile." Cancelled my order and went to work. No apologies.
