Our server sat us quickly and answered our questions about a few menu options. I had a sausage sandwich that was tasty and the roll was grilled also. My wife had the roast beef and her sandwich was tender and good flavor. All in all the sandwiches were good but a bit more meat would have taken them over the top.

They were incredibly slow and made the orders out of order, so we had to wait even longer because they skipped part of our order and made someone else's right in the middle of ours. My husband observed that they messed up every order before and after ours. They were also very confused by the request to make it decaf and the best part is no public bathroom.

They completely stopped making the tofu Asian salad and I haven't seen it for months, today I came and tried to get some of the tofu salad the curried kind, that they didn't have last week..and they still don't have it. every time I come here it seems like they're taking away more of the plant based options. There seems to be more of a pushed for the raw milk type variety of health, versus the natural or plant-based variety. It seems also that they don't have a lot of items...and when you ask them about it, they're more defensive than just being honest. The female cashiers are usually very nice, but it seems to be the people who work the juice/coffee bar that are not fully participating and are kind of rude and short with their responses and based on some of the other reviews, it seems that this is a shared feeling. Just so disappointing cause I've always loved the store and people I know work here locally but I just can't help but feel like the co-op in Ukiah is cheaper and has more options. it sucks because Mariposa had the best cold food selection of plant-based and regular options for food and now it's just not that anymore.

And also , without fail, it's loved by all. There are a few tips , 1) if the high schoolers are out for lunch , be patient, everything is made by hand and to order , it can get pretty hectic. 2) bring your appetite- the portions are generous 3)step out of your comfort zone try some of their sides. 4) you've got to try the green Thai tea !

negative stars for this place…read more I had high hopes because I LOVE supporting new businesses in town, they have a nice-variety menu, a wide variety of desserts and interesting things in their store ...but every encounter with this place has been disappointment first and foremost: their prices are through-the-roof RIDICULOUS which would be forgivable IF the food was good OR enough. see in photo how much I paid ($11) for a couple drops of ice cream and a couple meh cookies. plastic spoon for scale, I paid $7.75 for about 75¢ of ice cream. see how much those cookies cost? not worth half that another time I got their $13 mushroom goat cheese sandwich which was bland = infuriating for $13! see in that other 1-star review that they use "Great Value" brand in their smoothies = YUCK!! this makes it quite clear that they do NOT care about quality. what other quality-free ingredients do they use? last thing: I left an honest comment on a facebook post and the Whistle Stop owner reported my comment to the group admin = passive aggressive. I wouldn't be surprised if the 5-star reviews for this place are family & friends of the owners & employees. steer clear of this place, friends, there are MUCH better options in Willits go to Karkar's or JD Redhouse for sammiches go to Scoops or JD Redhouse for milkshakes or ice cream go to Mariposa for smoothies
