Headlands Coffeehouse
120 E Laurel St, Mendocino, CA
Crema's Take
“The espresso here is genuinely excellent—reviewers rave about silky lattes and a selection of single-origins worth comparing, though you'll need to look up at the menu board rather than expecting everything to be in the pastry case. It's a casual, family-friendly spot with strong pastries and warm hospitality that punches above what you'd expect from a small-town California café, but plan to bring cash since they don't take cards. If you're passing through Mendocino County and want to sit for a while with genuinely good coffee, this is absolutely worth the stop.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Great vibes at Headlands. It's cash only, so once you get past the idea you're buying coffee from the Cartels, it's fine. I sampled all the coffees with a splash of 1/2&1/2. I ranked them but have forgotten their names. Sorry. You'll enjoy every one. We ate the bagel with lox.…
Holy quads that latte was so smooth, from the milk to the consistency of flavor. (Ordered hot latte with whole milk and a white chocolate mocha both hot) and 10/10 would come here every day!! Seriously come sit and yap here with a good cup of coffee.
Visiting from out of state with the family and found this great breakfast spot! Different varieties of coffee that all tasted great. One of my family members got a latte with vanilla, delicious! Never had one served in a glass before which adds a different spin on it. The…
