"Great little store at the end of Main street in Mendocino. The owners, a husband and wife team were very friendly and helpful. Yes, their jams were pricey but they were so good.

"My boyfriend, his daughter, and I stopped at Mendocino Jams & Preserves on a road trip up north and it's website doesn't do it justice! The shop feels like it's out of a story book, beautifully located right on the coast and the end of the main road and jam-packed (see what I did there?) with every kind of jam, butter, and condiment you can imagine!

"I love specialty stores like this one, so I popped in today as I was taking a leisurely stroll down Main Street in Mendocino. I'm SO glad I did! They offer more jams, mustards and butters than I ever knew existed. There are tasting spoons available for every single offering so I sampled a few things and then made my selections. I opted to have my jam/mustard..." Read more

"We spotted this cute jam shop just as we arrived to Mendocino. We entered and the lady had her back to us and she never once turned to look at us and she never said hello or greeted us. We were going to try the jams but felt very uncomfortable this lady never acknowledged our presence. My husband walked right out and me and my daughter followed. She never sa..." Read more

"I came here about a month ago and haven't had the chance to write a review. The jam here are amazing! They aren't too sweet and the lady who owns this shop is extremely helpful. She gave us lots of useful info about each kind of jam, butter, and chutney they make here. If only Mendocino was close by to me!"

"I originally tried Mendocino Jams and Preserves while staying at The Andiron Inn in Little River. They use their jams for their breakfast. I immediately fell in love with their sweet lemon butter and blueberry jam. When my husband and I passed their storefront, we had to stop in. I had heard that their prices were REALLY expensive like $26 a jar but we got t..." Read more

"I cannot say enough about this tiny little shop of wonders. When in Mendocino, this is a MUST on anyone's list. Samples are plentiful, and choices are myriad. Since my visit this summer, I have reordered by telephone twice, and not only is everyone unfailingly nice, but also the products arrive in just a few days in perfect condition. My favorite is the sour..." Read more

"This is the best store in Mendocino to buy a gift that will please everyone, even people who don't like to put jam and jelly on things. I always buy the lemon butter and ollalaberry jam for people but they're lucky if they ever get any, because it is so good I often just eat it myself. Straight out of the jar without toast or anything. It is a joy to enter t..." Read more

"Super adorable store that sells a wide variety of jams, preserves, and other snacks.  Would make a great souvenir to take home for family and friends.  I didn't end up sampling anything or buying anything, but my friends did.  The guy working there was really friendly and also knowledgeable."
