Crema's Take

Mendocino Cafe pulls off the rare trick of being a legitimate seafood restaurant that also takes its coffee seriously—the mocha is legitimately excellent, and their clam chowder is the kind of thing people come back for specifically. The sunny patio seating and relaxed pace make it ideal for lingering over breakfast or lunch with a view, though service can be slow when they're busy. If you're in Mendocino looking for something that feels more like a proper meal destination than a quick coffee stop, this is worth the visit.

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

A lovely restaurant with both indoor and patio dining that offers a good selection of American and a few Thai-inspired dishes. I really liked their clam chowder, which is one of their specialties. They also had delicious sandwiches with filling portions. The staff are friendly,…

Stumbled on this place on a sunny day after a walk. The mocha was amazing, clam chowder was out of this world, and the pasta was really good. Def worth it.

Quaint cafe. Good food. I had the deconstructed fish tacos and my husband had the deconstructed fish sandwich. What dobI mean by deconstructed? The plates were served with ingredients and we put them together ❤️

Came here without reservations last night. Started off with Calamari which was sautéed versus fried. Wife had the one of the dinner specials, Blackened Patrale sole and I had the Florentine Pasta with shrimps. Ended off our dinner with Strawberry Rhubarb and Key Lime pies.…

Clam chowder is excellent. It was rather slow when I stopped in and the service was very attentive and friendly. The patio is a nice place to sit and enjoy your meal. Coffee was good and Huevos rancheros was tasty as well, very satisfying meal.
