Food was not good…read more Vietnamese coffee was very generic tasting. Not Vietnamese at all, more like a sugary americano. Breakfast burrito was very bland. No salt or pepper. They place a scoop of pico in the middle. Not very pleasant to take 1 large bite of watery veggies leaving the burrito wet and soaked. The place has a nice view unfortunately that's the best part of this place with my experience. I should have read the reviews or waited for something else in the plaza to open up.

We also remembered to validate so we didn't need to spend $10 on parking. I had the Grilled Broccolini Omelette, it was sooooo good! Perfectly cooked eggs, so much gooey gruyere cheese, garlic confit, and loads of tender broccolini inside. I got the mushroom fries again for my side and they were just as good as I remember. Husband had their Cremini Mushroom Toast and added a poached egg. His toast was awesome! Cream cheese, super garlicky mushrooms, and gremolata topped the sourdough bread. Yum! We both couldn't shut up about how great breakfast was. I hope they keep that broccolini omelette on the menu, cause I am already craving it again!

My favorite thing to get here is the pita chips. Ask for the fresh ones and not the prepackaged one. Highly recommend getting it

I would definitely recommend this place. The food was tasty and the workers and owner were all so nice and genuinely friendly too Their portions are very generous for their affordable prices. Love that they use quality ingredients and everything was very fresh tasting, not too heavy feeling and very flavorful! So much variety here to choose from too. Love all the different options available here as I have friends with dietary restrictions so it was great she was able to enjoy the food here with me Their red chojang sauce was tasty and not overly spicy or too concentrated. It mixed really well with the cupbaps we got and tasted just right to us m. Both my friend and I enjoyed all four of the items: The pork katsu salad, the crunchy fried shrimp roll, spicy baby octopus cupbap over rice and the crunchy raw fish cupbap over udon! Love that you have the option to do rice or noodles. They also give you a lil udon soup as well as a small banchan tray with a salad and Korean pickled veggies to complete your meal! Will definitely be back here to try some of their other items and spread the word with my love ones!

The crepe was definitely my favorite! the combination of fresh strawberries and Nutella was delicious, and it really hit the spot. The breakfast panini was also tasty, and I would happily come back for both items. The service was fast and efficient, and the staff stayed attentive throughout our visit, making sure we had everything we needed. One thing I really loved about this cafe was the atmosphere. There are plenty of seating areas, making it a great place to hang out or catch up with friends. The overall vibe is cozy and inviting, which makes me want to keep coming back.

Came in on the suggestion of a friend for an impromptu lunch. Although Mendocino Farms has been…read morearound for a long time, I'd never been here and boy have I been missing out! The restaurant has plenty of inside seating and a very nice covered patio area for outdoor dining. Orders are placed at the counter and brought to your table when it's ready. All of the employees we interacted with today were all friendly and helpful. The menu has SO many delicious sounding choices that I will have to make several return visits to try them all! But for today I chose their prosciutto & chicken panini. The sandwich was perfectly pressed and generously filled with carved chicken and all sorts of yummy goodness. This particular dish also had honey roasted almonds sprinkled inside, giving it a very surprisingly nice added crunch. I've been to all the other restaurants in this shopping center and Mendocino Farms is by far the BEST of them all. I've already made plans to come back next week :)

I've always enjoyed the food at Mendocino Farms, but today's experience at the Brea location gave…read moreme a whole new reason to keep coming back. I had a board retreat that was supposed to be catered by Mendocino Farms, but due to an error, our catering order was never placed. With a room full of people expecting lunch and little time to find a solution, I called the restaurant hoping they could help. Jordan immediately went into problem-solving mode. She checked whether they could accommodate a last-minute catering order and even consulted her manager. Although they didn't have the necessary catering supplies, Jordan worked with me to find another option: individual sandwich and salad orders. The team rushed to prepare everything so I could pick it up and make it back to the retreat in time. They absolutely saved the day. The food was phenomenal, as always, but the service truly earned this review. Jordan and the team didn't cause the problem, yet they went above and beyond to help solve it. Everyone enjoyed lunch, and what could have been a major issue became a success. I'll continue coming back for my own meals, and Mendocino Farms Brea will be at the top of my list for future events. Great food earns return visits; service like this earns loyalty. Thank you to Jordan and the entire team for coming through when we needed it. An easy five stars.

It can be on the pricier side so maybe not the best move to have it by a college but I digress. I usually get half rice and half lentils for that fiber boost. I haven't found the sauces that I really enjoy yet but I'm sure it'll be the garlic sauce or skhug (green pepper and cilantro based sauce). Tried their steak and chicken and lamb meatballs and falafel before. Falafel and chicken are my top proteins. My only qualm is that the meat portions can be skimpy depending on who is working. I love the harissa sauce too and the heat is perfect for someone who enjoys spicy options like extra hot Buldak noodles or medium to hot spice levels. Last but not least.. you gotta eat their pita bread or pita chips.

I love Mediterranean and I also love the concept of Chipotle. Cava gives you both :) Ever since I…read moretried Cava, I fell in love. Cava is basically Chipotle but Mediterranean style and all there ingredients are pretty good. My fave meat to choose would have to be the chicken. I would probably say it's better than the steak just because their steak is a little bit tough. Make your own bowl or get their signature bowls! I usually make my own bowl and the bowl comes with a free piece of pita bread which is really nice. Also, their Cucumber Mint Lime Juice is pretty good too. I've been so hooked on Cava that I even got their app. It makes it so easy to order and pick it up :) Theee best.
