Mendocino Farms

I arrived in the morning to try the food for the first time with my daughter, from Mendocino Farm. I ordered a salad and a sandwich, the salad was the first one I received and I really loved it, it was very delicious...however my daughter waited longer to receive her sandwich, also it took us 20 more minutes the sandwich came cold.the atmosphere It is pleasant but the wait we had for the sandwich was not... I also noticed that the employees do not usually change their gloves constantly, however to my relief I noticed that the salad lady did. Everything is fine, just improve that and I don't know why it took so long if the place was almost empty but it is delicious.

Glad they came in to recently opened Walnut Creek location as we are constant at San Ramon city center.
Unfortunately, outside of the location being new, the salad recipes definitely need to be fine tuned. First and foremost on the second day of opening, they are out of the Thai mango salad! Really? This is one of the Mendocino’s trump cards… Mediterranean crunch salad had definitely something spoiled in it on the bottom that once I’ve grabbed the beans, I couldn’t touch them anymore. It smelled sad!
Cute, exciting and happy greeting from the host really pleased our company. Thank you for that.
The seat with artificial grass cover did add a good touch to a design. However, the top edge of the back of the seat has the metal edge that can be harmful to your active baby.

Second day in a row coming here as their food is great and fresh, reasonable prices. Had pork belly banh mi today with curried couscous and house-made lemonade. Tasty sandwich and definitely has some good heat in the spicy sauce.

My only concern is that it took about 40 mins getting a take-out during lunch time at 11:15. Cashier seems to not have been familiar with the ordering process and taking a long time per customer. Manager was next to the cashier constantly. I asked for utensils but it was not on the to-go check list and of course not in my bag. Would suggest they do more staff/cashier training on their off-hour so they could learn to trouble shoot or go through the menu options slowly. Mistakes made easily when the staff are under pressure. The order line was so long people were standing in the parking lot out of the door.

This was the 2nd day they were open. They have a lot of staff helping. While waiting in line for 20 minutes, an employee welcomed me and asked if I had any questions about the menu. I told him what I was planning to order, and he suggested adding avacado to cool the spice. Good idea. I placed my order with another friendly employee who gave me a free cookie since I waited so long and tried to come yesterday, but the line was out the door. I found a table where I had to scan the table bar code and enter my receipt # so they know where to deliver my food. The seat was interesting. It was fake grass. Had some green juice (very good) and my chicken procutto panini sandwich and small macaroni salad. The place was noisy, and I think they were having an air conditioning issue as they had 2 portable units. Everyone was offering to help. I'll be back when it quiets down.
