Mendocino Cookie Co & Zappa's Coffee — Restaurant in Fort Bragg

We stayed up in Fort Bragg this past weekend. On 4/29 we tried this coffee shop and the service was amazing along with our drinks. We were so excited to go back on 4/30 and support such a cute local coffee shop. We both couldn’t stop talking about how nice it was to find a cute hole in the wall shop. However, we went back this morning 4/30 around 9am. We were pumped and couldn’t wait for the pastries & coffee. I ordered a iced Carmel macchiato Because it was so good yesterday and the orange cranberry scone. As we were grabbing our items the female barista started saying to the male barista and began mocking me, “ hi welcome to Starbucks can I get a Carmel Macchiato.” Then proceeded to make more side comments about how this place wasn’t Starbucks and they began laughing at my order. I honestly felt extremely awkward and weird about my order after that and didn’t feel like my drink was anything crazy to be made fun. I left not wanting to drink my drink. Super sad because the two people working yesterday were so sweet and I don’t know what happened with the workers today. As someone who would rather support a small business I feel offended by their comments. I know nothing will come of posting this, but I just felt rubbed the wrong way by...

Got an assortment of cookies to try.

Ginger snap- soft, chewy, a little too salty for my taste

Shortbread- awesomeness! Light and flaky, hint of lemon I think.

Chocolate chip- good cookie, a little salty. Starting to think its a me problem and not them though.

Peanut butter- good soft cookie with tiny peanut bits.

Mocha (brown) hot coffe- this was my favorite! Not too sweet but still chocolatety.

Parking on the side was a breeze, friendly staff, and there's other stores in the same building to browse through. I didn't care for the snippy sign but after seeing the attitudes of some of the other customers I can see why it may...

Ok so, if at Fort Bragg this place is a must. I am not a cookie person but the ginger and shortbread cookies here are the best I’ve ever had. We tried a few other types too and since my husband didn’t complain lol they must of been great too. The blue scones are to die for. Soft and fluffy and my 21 month old just ate the whole thing without a peep. We got some to go but they are almost gone so I’ll need to place a delivery order soon. Also, the people are so nice and hospitable and just seem so real. I am big fan for sure!

And they are right across the street from a cool little ice cream shop so it’s a win win...
