Busy, pleasant, exceptional wait staff, quick delivery of our breakfast, easy substitution to make a dish vegan. Everything was lovely including the coffee. Highly recommend.

The GoodLife Cafe is well known as a local favorite to Mendocino and it definitely lives up to the title. My dad and I made the mistake of not eating anything till 1pm so we came here starving. We got the fried chicken wrap and the banana walnut pancakes(special menu) the portions are big and they have a huge drink menu aswell, on top of that, the staff who work at GoodLife are so kind and very helpful!

One of the famous breakfast spots in Mendocino is Goodlife Bakery. It’s really good but always has big lines, so be ready to wait. Seating is inside and out, but it still gets super busy. The food was very good. Mocha is a winner and the toddy is a must. Their bakery items are a must try tooo nd cowboy cookie is a winner, savory danish is good, chocolate almond bar is awesome, and chocolate mousse was ok. For food items, the burrito was tasty, stir fry veggies were good, pumpkin curry bowl was good, and the tostada is good. Def a must try for breakfast

One of the best places to eat in Mendocino, a great dining town. The extensive menu covers all bases, breakfast, sandwiches, salads, Mexican plates. Lots of choices in each category. Our table of six loved everything they ordered, including pumpkin soup, fish and chips, and Mexican tostadas and salads. Every dish was attractive and inviting. Better still, every ingredient was well prepared, right down to the guacamole and beans. Prices were more than competitive. This place was a real find, if its fair to call it such after hundreds have already posted a review here.

I could see moving to Mendocino to have this place in my town! Fabulous selection of pastries - I cannot confirm or deny that my wife and I got three each! 🤭 I suggested we could get different things and share but the idea of sharing was voted down. 🤨 There was lots of seating inside and outside. But the latte I had was heavenly, them smoothest I've ever had. I'm going to order some of the beans and I hope to replicate it on my own. Oh, and the staff was very friendly and patient (it took us forever to figure out what to order). I highly recommend this place. 👍

Cute bakery with great dishes. Inside and outside seating. A wait staff that is very attentive and some of the best pastries around. Easiest to park a a few blocks away and walk over as the block it’s on tends to be very bushy

FWIW, the $22 3 egg omelet is not for those who aren't really hungry. 3 eggs will never wrap all the greens, mushrooms, etc. from the "Greens Omelet," much leave room for a half-meal sized side, and toast. Excellent eats, though. Great coffee too. Spicy Mexican Mocha was exceptional. This spot has a tight "indoor" area, a side deck with walls and a tent for 'outdoor' seating sporting gas heaters, and a backyard lawn area. Impressive planting IMHO, but we live in a colder agricultural zone. Wellworth stopping in, but for the larger sized humans, that one bathroom is seriously toght quarters. They also sport an honor system produce shack, and it all looked exceptional.

Nice breakfast spot. We got a tasty lemon and blueberry scone to go as well. Was quite busy but worth the 15 minute wait.

From the moment my wife and I walked on I knew it was going to be awesome. Everything is cooked homemade huge portions. Service is magically fast like a food genie within minutes what would take me at least an hour to make is lovingly placed before us. I would definitely want to eat here again. I also want to mention the artwork is captivating with bright psychedelic colors and intriguing imagery of people with dynamic lifelike expressions. It’s almost like they’re alive.

Wanna put a little joy in your day, go and have a taste of the Good Life Cafe in Mendocino. It's fun, friendly and delicious. There is joy in the bottom of a cup of "joe", the sweetness on your tongue of a fresh baaked pastry, and savory flavor in a breakfast of lunch entree. Everyone here seems to be smiling, its festive, like you walked in on some old friends. Choose from many of the varied meals or pastries, take sometime out of your local stroll or visit to town. Classic period building welcomes you to a cozy, atmosphere where the aroma smells of roasted beans, and warm pastry. It feels special because it is.
