Mendocino Farms quietly slipped into Dublin last Monday, firing up its chef-driven sandwiches, seasonal salads, and catering line at Persimmon Place and giving Tri-Valley lunch crowds one more reason to skip the sad desk meal. With regular My Mendo rewards and delivery in the mix, the new shop is clearly aiming at everyone from office workers to families on a weeknight scramble.
The Dublin outpost sits at 5130 Dublin Boulevard and is open daily from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., with phone lines taking orders starting at 8 a.m. and catering available earlier in the day, according to Mendocino Farms. The store page also calls out free parking and a lineup of local beers and wines for those who actually manage to sit down and eat on-site.
Where It Sits
The new Mendo has moved into the former Patxi’s Pizza space in Persimmon Place, just north of Interstate 580, plugging a noticeable gap in a high-traffic shopping cluster, according to the Bay Area Telegraph. Surrounded by coffee shops and casual chains, the spot is positioned for steady lunch and early dinner business as locals fold it into their regular rotation.
New Menu And Opening Perks
Later this month, Mendocino Farms plans to roll out three spring dishes at the Dublin store, including a smoky BBQ brioche sandwich and a Seasonal GOAT salad, part of the brand’s rotating limited-time lineup, according to East Bay Times. Opening coverage has also highlighted the usual grand-opening sweeteners - My Mendo sign-up rewards and community fundraisers - meant to get neighbors in the door and keep them coming back, per Patch.
What’s Next For Mendo In The Bay Area
The company has told reporters that the Dublin restaurant brings its Bay Area footprint to roughly 16 eateries, with two more local openings on deck: a Mill Valley location set for spring and a Concord spot arriving later in the year. Liquor-license filings peg the Mill Valley address at 745 E. Blithedale Ave. and the Concord site at 1975 Diamond Blvd., according to What Now. The broader locations list shows Mendocino Farms expanding in tandem into markets like Scottsdale, Denver and Chicago, per Mendocino Farms.
