"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

"Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Hell yeah! Been coming here since I was 15 and this place is one of our favorite shops to visit. I always get the sour cherry preserves, though they're anything but sour. If you see something you'd like to taste first but its not out, ask! Makes for great holiday gifts and she ships. In talking to the owner, she did say the..." 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."

"I've been looking for good lemon curd and not the kind the supermarkets carry.  This is a small shop with a fair selection of jams, jellies and even expensive ketchup at $12/bottle.  They have a table with selections of jams and jellies for you to try.  Their most popular is the C. Hall sweet lemon butter which resembles curd but is slightly sweeter and..." Read more

I looked up Yelp reviews and was a little shocked to see a lot of negative reviews and almost didn't even go. We finally decided to go anyway and make our own decision.

"Way Overpriced!! We were there March 1, 2015 and I thought I'd take a bit of local flavor back to the Midwest with me. Swallowing hard at the $20+ per jar, I bought the apricot preserves and the specialty ollalieberry  preserves. They are just okay. The apricot had full halves of apricots in it making it almost impossible to spread and was much too sweet. Th..." Read more

"This place is WAY overly priced! O_O The products are tasty but not tasty enough to pay $15 a jar for. I liked that you could taste any of their products on their little sample table, but the price and product aside, I had a particular awkward and slightly shocking experience while in their shop. My husband and I walked into this shop while making our way do..." Read more
