"At almost an annual interval, I make my pilgrimage to Mendocino Jams & Preserves to restock what I truly believe are some of the best preserves I've ever tasted. And this year was no different. This is quite literally the most beautiful jam shop location you could ever imagine. Located at the very end of Main Street in Mendocino Village, directly..." Read more

"Quick trip to Mendocino with the hubby and we found ourselves in this little jam shop. Absolutely adorable ! Located on Main Street on the Mendocino coast among adorable other old school shops. Friendly service. I would have loved to try some of the jams but fear that I would have purchased more. I settled on apricot jam, Olallieberry jam and lemon butte..." Read more

"Recently I was given a jar of Loganberry Jam from The Mendocino Jams and Preserves Shop as a thank you gift and WOW! Just the way tastes and smells bring back memories, this jam took me all the way back to a summer by the beach when we collected berries for a pie. I make my own jams and chutneys sometimes because I really care about quality, and this jam is..." Read more

"I can't believe we have been coming here for 16/17 years and this is the first time we have stopped (unfortunately always drove by but never stopped). The woman working in the shop was a delight, happy to help, offered as many samples/tastes as we wanted, and educated us well on their long standing family business. The jams are delish with little bits of fru..." Read more

"Sierra is fantastic! She was the salesperson in the shop when my girlfriend and I wandered in on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The store itself is great, wonderful smells and layout and products. So many jams to try! Sierra pointed out several different options, and was very upfront with which were locally sourced and which imported. We asked for her recommen..." Read more

"Here is some free advice from a CEO of a very large and successful corporation.
You have outstanding products but you're crippling your business by charging absorbent shipping costs. Figure out how to reduce your shipping costs and you'll take your business to a new level.
You can take that to the bank!"

"I always stop in an grab a gift for friends and a jar for me! The quality of their products are amazing and the price point is great. Remember, when you make a product from scratch it takes a lot time and great ingredients. My complements to the chef. If you would like to taste what homemade jams and preserves taste like stop in a pick up some of their..." Read more

"Highly recommend stopping into this store. We spent a week camping in Manchester and while taking a drive one of the days, we passed by this store and decided to stop. So glad we did. The 2 jars of jam we picked out is so yummy. We especially have enjoyed the huckleberry jam. The guy working was very friendly and knowledgeable. We really liked how, inste..." Read more

"We came in here on our honeymoon, a bit broke and strolling around the town. Mendocino Jams was at the end of the row. Out of all the stores, this felt the most natural to walk in and browse. The attendant was friendly and understanding even if we might not have bought anything - which actually made me more inclined to buy something! We got one of their most..." Read more

"wow I'm not really a jam fan but this stuff is quality and delicious. We spent way too much money here lol. The signature mendo jam olioberry is amazing! I love to pair it with Brie and sourdough. We got 12 jams cuz you get one free. We also got a few mustards and the pistachio butter. Will load up every time we are in town."

"Great customer service! ordered some jam as a gift. There was a minor glitch and Mendocino Jams very promptly responded and fixed. In fact, they went beyond fixing. So nice! And the product is delicious, too. The sour cherry jam had my dad say it was like his grandmother's, which is high praise."

"I have been meaning to write this review for quite some time now and finally was able to do so. I could not say enough good things about these jams and preserves. I love them all especially the almond butter and the blackberry Jam. The owners are amazing people which is the best part, because you know they care and make every jam or preserve you from the hea..." Read more

He gave us lots of information about the jams but also we had a great conversation with him and his wife. We left with smiles on our faces and lots of delicious jam. Definitely reco..." Read more

"Don't miss this nice shop on the ocean-front street! It reminds me of the American Spoon shop in Petoskey, Michigan.
There is a great assortment of jams and other local food to take home. Of course you can taste test all the goods before having to settle on a few."

"This little gem is a must see. This is a lovely little shop with jams that they create themselves and ONLY sell in their store---you cannot find them elsewhere else. A real original and worth stopping in."

"A reluctant two stars because the chutney I bought isn't bad, it just isn't worth 28.00 a pint. I tried the peach chutney here circa 1993 and it was so good it led me to develop my own and can it at home. Back then, it was around 14.00 and it took some prodding to get me to buy it. But it was good, and I forgot all about the price. So now my wife and I..." Read more

"Such a cute shop! Taste all the different jams and butters! We stayed for a bit, sampling and taking to other locals who come for gifts for friends. They also carry Polish pottery, very pretty but quite pricey. We loved the jalapeno pepper jelly. Incredible flavor."

"Amazing! What a great find to try homemade and rather local jams and other spreads. You have the option to try a lot of different jams, from raspberry, to other type of berries. They also have peanut butter and chocolate spreads to try. We ended up getting one of the berry mixes which was super tasty. I would recommend getting the lemon or lime butter. ..." Read more

"Wonderful stop in Mendocino! I went on a Friday afternoon in October so I was lucky enough to have the little shop to myself. They have samples of pretty much everything they sell, which is great because their stuff is not cheap. 2 jars of jam at $15 a piece is quite a bit more than I would typically pay for jam-however I definitely have never had such good..."
