I stopped in one of the most happenin’ lunch spots in Mendocino, California. A staple in the community, Goodlife Cafe & Bakery has been here for over 30 years. I walked inside and heard classic rock music playing overhead, people catching up with friends and family, and coffee dishes clinking. A very large dining area, the walls were covered in exquisite paintings, jewelry, stationery, handmade ceramics, and knitted beanies for sale. I like the layout of this place, it accommodated tons of people and the baristas were super friendly.
I stood in line behind at least eight people. This gave me time to read over their food menu, look through the pastries, and scan their coffee options. I ordered a medium mug “for here” and got their house roast. It was a pretty light roast, woke me right up!
