Pet friendly. nice deck, wonderful food and service, small-town charm. Good wines and local brewery beers, local coffee and organic foods in innovative combinations. Owner has been in this location for over 25 years and the place is very popular with both locals and tourists. Walk to the beaches, headlands, shops etc.

Recently ate at Mendocino Cafe, and it was a welcome, friendly respite after a long day of driving. Located just off Main Street, it is only a few steps away from the tourist center, yet nearly everyone there was a local -- always a good sign.

Recently dined here with friends and our dog. The staff were very accommodating in setting up a table and the heaters outside for us even though it was a cold evening. Staff was friendly and knowledgable about the menu and food. Everyone loved their meals and the food was delicious. Will definitely eat here again!

Friendly service, very reasonable wine list prices, and a delicious meal greeted us after a rainy day in Mendocino. A wonderful evening all-around.

We found that this cafe was highly rated by many on Tripadvisor, so we decided to try it. All (6) of us enjoyed each dish that we had. No one was disappointed. The clam chowder was excellent! Very nice area to visit.

Great place to eat in Mendocino. We had the thai burrito and a mexican omelet. The food was just great.

Try the hot pot!!! You will not want to miss it. Excellent approach to Asian fusion... Did not get to try the patio but it looked like it would be a great place to have a drink with friends.

The cafe was packed and so was the outside seating for lunch. I ordered the Thai chicken salad, and my husband ordered the Caeser salad and a bowl of Clam Chowder. The food was good and well worth the price. We would eat there again.

I had the best Vietnamese Salad! The best I have ever had in my entire life. And the chocolate mousse was also scrumptious! My husband-to-be loved the fish stew!
