So many options 😍 - Edit
Nectar’s buffalo cauliflower is my favorite. Try the Buffalo Salad or Cauliflower Buffalo Wings. Good vibes, lots of vegan options, fair prices.

We emptied our plates. - Edit
Taking our 33 year old Pilot son to Sacramento from Nevada City for his shift, we wanted some place vegan/veggie to eat at. We found Nectar Cafe on a search and decided to go.
Read moreOrdered two taco plates so we could share one of each with each other, but realized that they were Chorizo and Portobello both, Oh well. YUM!
And we ordered the the Howdy nectar patty. Double YUM.
We will be going back when in the area.

Vegan-friendly food in Auburn! - Edit
Buffalo Cauliflower taco was excellent, but be careful getting it for takeout, it gets soggy fast!
Read moreTempeh Reuben was okay. Didn’t taste a ton like a reuben, but it was still tasty. (Not sure why I ordered it, as I’m not usually a fan of tempeh.)
Pros: Clearly marked vegan options

Best after-hike spot! - Edit
I love this place and stop here often after a hike in beautiful Auburn. There is indoor and outdoor seating. I usually go straight for the curry bowl or wrap, but I have tried many other items in the menu and everything has been excellent!

Good food, but... - Edit
The vegan/organic food here is tasty and mostly healthy. The service, however, is leisurely bordering on somnambulant. A forty-five minute wait for a couple of basic sandwiches is just not acceptable, particularly as the restaurant was only half full. As for ambiance, the watchword seems to be AS LOUD AS WE CAN MAKE IT!! Perhaps it never occurred to this health food staff that a pumped up music system does not make for good digestion. Neither does the air conditioning on a cool day. I give it three stars mostly for the good food. You might want to consider take-away — but order ahead of time. Way ahead of time.

blanc - Edit
It's not bad to stop in when I'm visiting Auburn, but the food is a bit overpriced and bland. I got the enchiladas that were very dry and came with a tiny portion of cashew cheese sauce that didn't add enough flavor. Portions were on the small side.
