How to read these prices: Mendocino Farms does not publish a national price list - each cafe sets its own. The price shown for every item is the most common price we found across the cafes and delivery platforms checked in November 2026, with the full range we saw. Delivery apps typically add a markup of around 20% on top of cafe prices.

Dietary & Customization Tips for Chef's Specials
Mendocino Farms builds most items to order, so swaps are easy to ask for at the counter or in the app. A few things worth knowing before you order from the Chef's Specials section:
- Gluten-free bread: Many sandwiches can be made gluten-free by swapping to the GF bread option - items marked "gluten conscious" on this page qualify. One exception: anything with Mendo's krispies (including the "Not So Fried" Chicken) contains gluten in the krispies themselves and cannot be made gluten-free.
- Watch the dressing: Several salads carry a large share of their calories in the dressing. Ask for it on the side if you are counting.
- Try more for less: The half-sandwich combos pair a half sandwich with a deli side or soup - the cheapest way to sample a premium sandwich.
- Allergies: Mendo tracks 12 allergens, including sesame, coconut and seeds separately. Tell the cafe whether gluten-free is a preference or an allergy - staff handle the two differently.
