Mariposa Market - Willits

We often stop here on our way to or from camping in Mendocino County. This place has a wide variety of healthy and vegan options—think of a whole foods store before it was acquired by Bezos. The deli is excellent, featuring veganaise, BBQ tofu (which I highly recommend), tempeh, vegan cheese, and many other ingredients to create a delicious sandwich or wrap.

I was thrilled to discover Onkel Eddie’s cookies at this place, and they also offered a more natural version of Red Reben (simple red vines) that tasted just like the original. I appreciated that the deli had an outside window where you could place orders without having to go inside. The staff were extremely friendly, making it a fun spot to visit. It was a bit pricey, likely due to its remote location, but overall, I had a great experience.

We stopped for a quick lunch on our way back from Redwood National Park and discovered a deli with a very vegan-friendly custom sandwich menu. They offered several options for Vegenaise, a variety of vegan sweets, and a good selection of bread. For protein or main options, they had tempeh, a veggie burger, BBQ tofu, and portobello mushrooms, although the veggie burger and tempeh were unavailable when we ordered. I chose the grilled tofu, and it was excellent. They also had a vegan soup and a vegan plate that I didn’t get to try. Additionally, the market featured many pre-packaged vegan-friendly options and plenty of snacks.

Mariposa Market had many different vegan options from drinks, bagels, sandwiches, and soups. They are based in an organic store and sell a variety of vegan foods as well. I got a yummy made-to-order vegan sandwich which was delicious.
