We are new Vegans and this place has far exceeded our expectations. I will be going here EVERYDAY of my vacation. The smoothies, salads and carrot cake are wonderful.

five star vegan options!!! - Edit

Posted by Lauren C on 17 Jun 2017.

I went here for a tofu scramble breakfast (my kids had vegan pancakes), everything was so good and there were so many vegan options that we went back for a late lunch. This place is a vegan haven!!!

Love this Place - Edit

Posted by Curvyvegan22 on 05 Jun 2017.

Ate here while vacationing in Myrtle Beach. It is a health food store/restaurant with small area for dining in and outside. Had wheatgrass shot & cucumber burrito, had to make it vegan.
They have vegan desserts and prepaid kale salads and other vegan dishes in the small refrigerator.

great breakfast! - Edit

Posted by michaelasmeow on 29 Apr 2017.

I came here for breakfast and at first I thought I was at the wrong place bc when you walk in it's a convenience store. The cafe is in the back of the store, for anyone confused. Anyway, I had the vegan breakfast quesadilla and it was GREAT! Instead of eggs, they use a tofu scramble and, I was surprised to find that it tasted almost exactly like real scrambled eggs. The convenience store is also great, lots of natural products!

Very good - Edit

Posted by Weirdohappy on 19 Feb 2017.

Shop and eat healthy in one place! patio option to dine outside with a nice fireplace. Menu is very extensive with options for any diet needs. Substitutions are accommodated with no fuss. I didn't find the price to be any more than we would have paid elsewhere ($20 for two adults and a toddler). The location is great as you can pick up lots of natural food/snacks/products if you're vacationing and also has a Food Lion and Fresh Market in the same shopping center

Pros: Lots of options for all diets, Customizable menu to fit needs

We travel 30 miles to eat here while on vacation - Edit

Posted by Vegariffic on 10 Aug 2016.

We finally found a place to eat and shop where we didn't feel like freaks down here. In Myrtle Beach, every 5 steps you take there's a neon chain food place to eat. Bay Naturals has organic, healthy food options you can sit and enjoy. The smoothies are amazing. My tummy was thanking me, with every sip I took.
This is hog country. If you're not seeing hog factory farms, you're seeing smokers, BBQ rib joints with fried chicken on the side. Bay Naturals makes it so my lifestyle isn't interrupted just because I'm on vacation. Now, if the great veg food was served with a smile, this place would get a better rating. :)

Best vegan selection - Edit

Posted by Jaelus on 27 Jun 2016.

While vacationing in the Myrtle Beach area, my wife and I stopped to dine here many times. They have a huge selection of vegan offerings, much more than any other location in the area. The food was very good and the staff was friendly.

Pros: Huge amount of selections, Friendly staff

Great place for veg friendly foods and eats! - Edit

Posted by lambandthimble on 20 May 2016.

I've been a local forever but I only recently switched to a vegan lifestyle. This store has been so great in making it easy. They sell food (frozen, shelf-stable, bulk spices and grains and beans, as well as wines), supplements and also made-to-order food in their cafe.

I recommend their vegan pumpkin bread! It's delicious. :)

Pros: Variety, Vegan friendly products, Good vibe and atmosphere

Cons: Some stuff can cost a little more

A must try! - Edit

Posted by Plantbasedrunner on 02 May 2016.

Stopped here for a late lunch and had the Philadelphia tempeh wrap! It was great! The friendly staff invited us back for breakfast! Came back for breakfast before leaving town and tried the French toast donut (van/gf). The vegan quesadilla was a great surprise as well. Great coffee! Loved the little soy milk creamers! It's nice to be able to eat out without feeling like I am asking for the moon when I order!

Best Vegan/Veggi Option in Myrtle Beach - Edit

Posted by Blueshoots on 12 Apr 2016.

The choice in food is great, the food is wonderful for all types of eaters. The most trusted place to eat at the beach if your lifestyle/diet requires a non-meat food. Not to mention their food is tasty. BTW - Best Smoothies at the Beach

Pros: Great food, Tons of Options, Grocery Store / Restaurant

Cons: Portion size is small

Had a ton of great options, I had the eggless egg salad sandwich, it was delish! They also had a cute little patio and free parking. Scones were awesome as well!

Great - Edit

Posted by amandacon on 17 Aug 2015.

Ordered a vegan veggie burger and it was very good and seasoned well. The portion was a little small, and I would definitely get something else to eat with it. The staff was extremely nice and it took about 10-15 minutes for the food to be delivered.

Saved me - Edit

Posted by sandykaren on 08 Oct 2014.

I'm from Oakland, CA and work in San Francisco so I was very skeptical that I would find any place to eat vegan in Myrtle Beach. Thank goodness for Bay Naturals. It wasn't convenient to my location, but it was worth going out of my way. I ate there three days in a row. Their house salad with roasted tofu was amazing (the dressing was some of the best I've ever had). I also enjoyed their tofu scramble and breakfast burrito. Service was friendly and they have a lovely outside area. It was wonderful to sit out there watching the pouring rain (something I haven't seen for a while in drought-stricken California).

Pros: Great food, Lovely outdoor space, Nice staff

Cons: A little pricey, coffee was not great

Delicious vegan breakfast - Edit

Posted by xavailx79 on 16 Sep 2014.

I don't normally take the time to write reviews but I felt this was worth the effort. My overall experience in Myrtle Beach hasn't been exactly stellar - it has rained a bunch, this place is SUPER touristy, and there isn't much vegan fare. So, I got up early, walked from my hotel to Bay Naturals. I was immediately greeted at the door and headed to the cafe where I met Joe (I think...food coma now). He recommended the pancakes but I went with the smoked potato burrito with faking bacon and vegan cheese (I even left the veganaise on - which anyone who knows me, they know that's a big deal for me). Joe made a fresh pot of coffee while I waited for my food (which incidentally is FREE before 9am) and he brought not only one cup but two to me on the patio. Deliciousness arrived and has now been completely consumed. I wouldn't say that I'm easily impressed with breakfast food b/c I am a creature of habit (I eat oatmeal almost every day) but this was truly awesome. I'd like to sit here until lunch and just to try something else!

Pros: Service, Selection, Price

Ate Here Everyday - Edit

Posted by HeatherHeath on 01 Aug 2014.

I don't know what we would have eaten for breakfast if Bay Naturals was not here. We were so thankful for somewhere that had vegan breakfast. The Veggie Bay Plate was great. They have fantastic tofu scramble! And everything else we had was great too. The staff is so nice and knew our family by the end of our trip. We will miss this place.

Great juice, great service - Edit

Not bad - Edit

Posted by HappyAndrew on 14 Jul 2013.

This place has a lot to offer. It was really helpful for me and my girlfriend as we made the switch from vegetarian to vegan. They have a lot of choices of replacement dairy products. They can get kind of expensive, depending one what you get (obviously). It is a small building and small aisles. But what can you do? It's the only health food market I know of around these parts. The end.

Pros: meat replacers, cruelty free options, dairy replacers

Cons: can be expensive, small

Amazing, healthy, high vibrations :) - Edit

Posted by Guest on 30 Apr 2013

Bay Naturals is one of a kind in Myrtle Beach. If you're vegan or vegetarian and love great tasting food that's made with love, then eat in their mini restaurant. If you just feel like getting some organic groceries, supplements, bath and body, and all other natural or organic needs then this is the place for you.
They have amazing baked goods in the back. Gluten free/Vegan cakes and pies made from scratch. They have a dispenser of organic grains, beans, and sea salt. Dried organic fruits, fresh fruit. Bay Naturals does sell and cook grass fed meat, so happy cow doesn't consider totally vegetarian, so it only allowed me to give 4 stars ust an all around wonderful place to eat and meet great people :)

Good place for healthy food - Edit

Posted by Caroline12345 on 06 Apr 2012.

We found this place on our vacation. After stopping for a meal the first day we discovered how great the food was here. So we came back every day after that. It was hard to find healthy food in Myrtle Beach so I was glad Bay Naturals existed. The dining area is small but the food makes up for it. They have a little spice garden growing outside.

Pros: vegan food, food is good

Cons: no fresh fruit

Pros: Excellent Everything, Nice Staff, Great Karma

Cons: NONE

Bay Naturals - Edit

Posted by Rapunzel on 18 Aug 2010.

It was a nice store on the edge of a strip mall. The store had all sorts of products you would find in a "health food" store. It had a refrigerated section with organic meat, vegetarian and vegan options. In the back of the store there's a cafe with great lunch specials and a regular menu. We shared really yummy vanilla spirulina smoothie and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The sandwich was on toasted nutty bread. It was huge and dripping with homemade jam. The staff was helpful and friendly.

Pros: friendly staff, cafe on site, clean

Cons: small

Just OK - Edit

Posted by OliviaJ on 15 May 2010.

I've been many times, and gotten to know a few of the staff, who had been pretty friendly and knowledgable, but wanted to return a gift I was given from there, and they would not take it back, even for a store credit. They don't seem as friendly as they once were. I much prefer "To Your Health" in Pawley's Island.
