Harvest Market at Mendosa’s

The market has EVERYTHING! Seriously– EVERYTHING! We were in Mendocino for a romantic long weekend, and stayed in an INN near the main part of the town, which turned out to be a tiny town. Thank goodness for this market, we were able walk to this store and get everything we needed for a weekend of relaxation. Mainly, we enjoyed the good variety of wine and snacks, and the prices were very reasonable too. Beside general grocery, it also has a very comprehensive collection of everyday kitchenware, some functional clothing and accessories, and really anything anyone might need while in town. As others have mentioned, the store hours are great too, so this is a good place to stop by after dinner to pick up a nice bottle of local wine to bring home for a nightcap!

Great little market for groceries and pharmacy! Spent the day hiking around Russian Gulch Park and grabbing a bowl of their clam chowder was the perfect finish!

Convenient, open late, great location, and it has everything, including scented candles and incense, which is what brought me to this little gem earlier tonight. My boyfriend and I checked into a nearby B&B and our room smelled like cat piss. No joke. So disgusting but such are the tribulations of traveling with our two doggies and having to book pet friendly accommodations.
Anyway, Penlo (Penny & Halo) were not having it. That cat stench was driving them crazy and they made sure we knew it, so off we go looking for anything to get rid of that smell. I prayed to the scented candle gods that there be something open this late in Mendocino and lo and behold, we turn the corner and there’s Harvest Market open for business.
It’s a little pricey but if you’re in Mendocino and the nearest store that’s open at 9:30pm is in Fort Bragg you won’t care.

This store makes you want to buy many things you don’t find elsewhere. It has a little bit of everything and has lot of specialty items. There is also a wonderful gift corner with items from everything from socks to kitchenware and garden things. Check out the hippie look blanket which is really nice as a souvenir or a throw. I purchased a good quality canvas bag for my friends; they say it is useful and is a fun bag to take for grocery transport.
The H M Fort Bragg is welcoming and nicely designed. It has a nice feeling to shop there.
Not too big on customer service in both markets, but when you do flag one down, all was well.

Prices have gone up since our last visit and they don’t seem to carry as many locally made goods compared to the past. I found locally made champagne on sale that I can get for less at a Costco for the same bottle, by $ 3 less. I came in to buy Thanksgiving coffee and you can get in bulk that you fill into a bag yourself but a few miles drive north to the Safeway at Ft. Bragg, you will pay less for the same coffee. We found that out a day later when we drove up to Ft. Bragg.
Staff isn’t friendly here. The cashier dude would just stare at you like you’re not welcomed there or behave as if they don’t like tourists even ‘tho tourists, locals and campers alike all shop there. If we head back up here next time and are planning to go to Ft. Bragg, I’d rather go to the local Safeway, at least the clerks there are friendlier.

Love this Market. I will shop here when in Mendocino, instead of heading North to the Fort Bragg location. They had almost everything we needed to stock up on vacation staples. All the local shop keepers recommend it too.
It’s a great place to stock up, check out the locals, and get a feel for the town.
They didn’t have any Fresh Crab, so we found it a couple of blocks down Lansing Street for 9.99 lb. at a nice little meat market, fresh out of the harbor in Fort Bragg.
We also had to hit the health food store «Corners of the Mouth» for a couple of specialty organic products.
All in all, wish we had this market, service and selection, at this price point in Carmel.

This place was amazing everything was beautiful inside the store it’s not as overpriced as people may think but very reasonable they don’t do fresh sandwiches like they do at the deli but they do make fresh sandwiches every day for you to purchase which they have a wide assortment of as well as side salads everything was really good we purchased two sandwiches and a side for lunch and everything tasted great we will be coming back in the summer and we look forward to making more purchases please go to this place they are quite wonderful very friendly very clean and organized

Excellent store! Arriving at night, I decided to check out if there were any surrounding stores open the next day to buy drinks, ice and small items for the weekend wedding in Mendocino. Just kinda wandered and found Harvest.
They have a great selection of produce, olive bar, meat department, excellent beer and wine selection, everything you could possibly need to enjoy a weekend getaway.
This store was not only located so close to the hotel and wedding event venue, it was the perfect place to buy a few last minute things to ensure that we kept the party going. Love the selection and will be back.

What a cute place!!!
They have everything from fresh produce to kitchen utensils to a full service deli with an olive bar. There’s even a wine section featuring local regional wines.
They were even open until 10 which was a nice treat. The woman who checked us out was very friendly and offered great tips for the area.
This place has lots of cute local goodies and they even have a huge self serve granola and grains wall so you can mix and match for a perfect trail mix. Just be sure you don’t mix different items in the same bag because the price per pound May differ.

If you’re living or vacationing in Mendocino, this is the market to shop at – it’s kind of like an old-​school general store in a lot of ways, as they sell great groceries (a mix of local items and organic foods as well as favorite staples), and they have a great little shop off the main building that sells everything from pharmacy items to slippers.
I was really taken with their produce section, as well as the nice selection of teas. The market is clearly catering to the people of this village, as it’s got a consistency or brand as well as caliber that I found really charming and thoughtful.
The market is clean, well-​lit, easy to maneuver and is conveniently located of the main road into the village. It’s also a great place to shop for funky gifts like local honey, fun children’s books and clothing and other local flare.

Two years pass and I’ve become even fonder of this village staple! It seems like they either expanded a little since I was last here or they re-​thought their merchandising. I was even more impressed than the last time.
Had to get some snacks and serious bottles of water to offset the Inn’s exorbitant prices. They had everything I wanted and more in the realm of nice bottles of wine to give my mom. I truly made out like a bandit and even added a reusable bag to my collection as well!

Fabulous little market: fresh produce, great fish and meats, Kemmy’s Pies and Talenti gellato… who could want for anything more? The staff is friendly and helpful — love this market!

This little store has plenty to cover your stay while in Mendocino. The employees are nice and the deli/​butcher section has lots of choices. We visited this place often all week long as we ran out of supplies during our stay in Mendocino.

Bread aisle is a thing of beauty. Fantastic selection of fresh breads from area bakers. You can get as complicated as you want with all the great stuff in this store. You can also keep it simple. Wine, bread and cheese — the holy trinity. (With apologies to the gluten-​free and the very religious.)

The 5 stars is for the guy in the meat dept who was so helpful! We were on a seafood kick. We got the freshest mussels and prawns. He was so patient with us, since we weren’t good at deciding. This market had everything – donuts and cookies – looked yummy. The clam chowder had too much potato, but it has bacon! There was plenty of reasonably priced wines. The place looked very clean and other employees were helpful. For a small town, this place really provides everything.

What a wonderful range of food & drink, pharmacy & household items. They’re not cheap — too many tourists. But worth it. Enjoy!

Bad attitudes from employees at this local market… and we’ve been coming here since 1995 (it was Mendoza’s then)…it’s a shame that there’s so many «uppity» and rude service people at Harvest, because it ruins it for the tourist trade, and Harvest’s employees misbehavior detracts from their rather decent (great cheeses, meats, olive bar, etc. including many organic items) food offerings.
Note to Harvest Market: please train your employees to never rudely embarrass your customers when they are buying $ 5 chocolate bars at checkout, and then further harass them when they have Revive Kombucha bottles to return. Next visit I won’t be so reserved in temperament and response.

When in Mendocino, go to Harvest Market at Mendosa. Not only its one of your only options but they literally have almost everything you may need. If you’d like to drive to Fort Bragg there is a Safeway there but what’s the point at shopping at a major chain when you can support a local market in a small town like Mendocino.
When the hubby and I are in Mendocino, we always shop here for our picnic goodies. They have the best selection of picnic items such as cold-​cuts, olive bar, cheese, wine and beer. Then, all you would have to do is walk down to the headlands and enjoy the rest of your day.
The staff are extremely friendly and they are very environmental friendly as well. The prices are probably a bit higher than what we are used to but what do you expect when you are in a small town like Mendocino.
Harvest Market is ideal for people who are out of town like us… convenience is key while traveling.

Wine in a supermarket. Fabulous. I love California! Okay on to the review.
This is a must stop if you are spending any length of time in the Mendocino area, and are not planning on eating out every night. The bread and cheese selections are delicious and fresh. I love that they have traditional grocery items (I love my Triscuits!) alongside Organic Food and more Health Food Store items ala Amy’s Organics.
I thought the prices were reasonable for the area. Truly a great one stop grocery shop.

Looking for some tummy relief & Harvest Market was within walking distance to where we were staying
This little grocery store had lots for the organic shopper to choose, ranging from healthy eats to animal-​friendly soaps /​shampoos /​etc… to the basic pharmacy needs like tummy relief products!
Grabbed a few things & peeked next door where all the foody items lived — again, lots of organic foods from fresh to boxed & had my tummy not been so disagreeable, I’d have happily browsed & for sure picked up a few delish snacks!
Would be a great spot to load up for a picnic on the beach, or among the Redwoods while hiking — we’d definitely make Harvest Market a must stop for any future visit
