Trillium Cafe & Inn
10390 Kasten St, Mendocino, CA
Crema's Take
“Trillium pairs serious restaurant cooking with genuinely excellent espresso, making it the rare cafe where you'll want to linger over both a perfectly pulled shot and a pastry made in-house by a dedicated pastry chef. The attached inn and full dinner menu mean this works equally well as a quick coffee stop or a full evening destination, and the staff treats everyone with the kind of attentiveness you'd expect from fine dining. If you're in Mendocino, this is the place where coffee nerds and food-focused travelers naturally end up.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu.
