"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."

"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.  You could taste everything in the store and I tried some wonderful sweet lime butter - similar to lemon curd.  I also bought some Ginger Pear chutney which was wonderful.  The onl..."

"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

"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

"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 like a few others here have been eating jam from Mendocino Jams & Preserves for over 15 years. I can say with great confidence that this is probably the only place that I would willingly drive three hours, one way, just to buy jam. It's that good! I have never been disappointed. While in town, we stopped in again. After sampling a few o..." Read more

"Absolutely adorable.  The owner/staff was really friendly, and I was impressed by all of the jams and preserves they had in the store.  Definitely adds to the Mendocino charm by having this store cap one of the ends of Main St.  Worth checking out!"

"This place is cute, cute, cute! Furthermore, there is something for everybody here. For me, it's the strawberry rhubarb jam. The sour cherry is also tartly enjoyable. I love stopping here for a little condiment taste testing, despite being under the hawk-like scrutiny of the lady who runs the place. You gotta try try it!"

"Adorable place, but I was totally bummed that none of their products (even the mustard!) are made without sugar. Thus, I couldn't partake in any of the fun. Boo. But we did buy a few jars for friends, and enjoyed the friendly countergirl's company for a few minutes while she wrapped our jars."

"Overwhelming selection of Jams and Jellies...this is a tiny place where the slightly brusque salesgal lets you sample almost anything that they sell. Peanut butter, honeys, jams, preserves, sauces/mustards, etc. It's so hard to focus, focus, focus.So I'm here to tell ya. Get the ollalieberry jam. What is an ollalieberry? I have no idea.
