The place to go!! - Edit
Not only is it all vegan and delicious, but they sell great products! And they make their own seitan and tempeh, which is also sold in their counters. Everything is perfect, and Tanya is there making sure everyone is happy.

Chef Tanya’s Review - Edit
🥪 BLTA Sandwich:
Read moreSmoky tofu bacon that’s absolutely to die for. Paired with the creamiest, perfectly seasoned potato salad.
🍦 Oatmilk Swirl Soft-Serve with Hot Fudge:
Soft, creamy, and oatmilk-based! The hot fudge takes it to the next level.
This spot is a must-visit for vegan eats in the desert! 🌱✨ #Veganuary

My favorite Vegan Sandwich Place - Edit
It is just too bad we don’t live close to Chef Tanya’s. It is my favorite place to have vegan sandwiches, soup, and salads. I have been following her since early 2000s when she owned the Native Foods.
Read moreMy favorite sandwich is her El Cubano. My partner had the OhMyGato Taco Salad. The soup of the day is yummy too.
We always stop by here once or twice when we visit the area. Her staff also provide excellent service! Thumbs up for taste and quality! #Veganuary
Pros: Taste, Quality , Service
Cons: Far from home

Visiting from out of town- Love it! - Edit
We were visiting out of town, in the hotel that we were staying at our server had recommended chef Tanya‘s kitchen. We went there for dinner the next day and lunch the day after that. Great food and desserts.  I only wish they had a location in Michigan, they would rock it in Ann Arbor.

Chef Tanya’s is always amazing. Good food and service. This location is huge with a lot more seating. Nice shop inside with a lot of unique vegan-friendly products. They also have a dessert counter with baked goods & ice cream (haboobs).

Always great food with a smile! - Edit
The Palm Desert location of Chef Tanya's is much larger and welcoming than the one in Palm Springs. There is also a Kreamery attached, so desserts are readily available. As the menu doesn't really change a lot, I typically order the special that is posted on the board adjacent the cash register. I haven't been disappointed yet.
Read moreI've tried almost everything on the menu and it's all good. Staff is always friendly and helpful, as well. You can't go wrong here!
Pros: Great food, Friendly staff
Cons: Can be pricey

Excellent food and immaculate vibes - Edit
They had a pride special, even though it's no longer pride month, and had some very sweet words under the description. And wow it was delicious!
Read moreThey also had a kitten adoption event today! I love the support for local animals.
As a desert girlie I really appreciate that their improvement on the DQ Blizzard is called a Haboob (a desert dust storm!).
Everything here is delicious, you cannot go wrong. And the market and shop area is adorable! 10/10 all around
Pros: Partnered with animal rescue , Food and shopping , Ice creamery

Vegan Delights at Tanya’s Kitchen! 🌱 - Edit
Whenever our compass points to plant-based goodness, we steer toward Tanya’s Kitchen—a culinary oasis for vegans.
Read moreOur Culinary Journey:
The food at Tanya’s is like a symphony of flavors—each note harmonizing with the next. 🎶
Our all-time favorite? The legendary El Cubano. Picture this: layers of deliciousness. Even non-vegans swoon over this masterpiece.
Today’s Trailblazing:
We veered off the beaten path and tried the Pastrami Mami. Sliced pastrami, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, dill pickle, and gooey cheese—sandwiched on that same gourmet rye bread. A second favorite was born!
Feeling virtuous, I opted for the OhMyGatoTaco—a vegan twist on the classic taco salad. Fresh, crunchy, and guilt-free. But here’s the twist in the trail: my taste buds still yearned for my lunch companion’s sandwich.
The Sweet Oasis:
Brace yourselves, fellow desert wanderers! The Palm Desert location harbors a creamery dessert bar. 🍦 Soft-serve ice cream beckons like an oasis mirage.
My virtuous salad? It surrendered to the siren call of creamy indulgence. 🌵🍨
The dessert selection? A constellation of choices—each sweeter than a desert sunset. We’ll be back, no doubt.

Chef Tanya's Kitchen Provides Delicious Food For Vegans and Non-Vegan Alike - Edit
Excited to finally this restaruant and it did not disappoint! Upon entering the spacious restaurant, me and my coworkers were warmly greeted by restaurant staff. After reviewing the paper menu while waiting to order, I ordered a caprese tempeh burger with a side of smoked children pasta, while my coworkers orders the modern hippie veggie sandich with a boogie bar as well as a bowl of chili cheese crack fries and the daily soup.
Read moreOur food arrived quickly, was prefectly cooked and was delicious. I was plesantly surprised to see that in addition to this Chef Tanya's location having a restaurant, there is also a variety of vegan items for sale as well as a spearate areas of the store selling vegan soft serve ice-cream. Although my two coworkers aren't vegan, they thoroughly enjoyed their meal and said that they'd be willing to eat at the restuarant again.
With so many delicious things available to eat and cool things to buy, I will definitely be bringing my husband to this restaurant again sometime soon.
Pros: Generous portions, Friendly staff
Cons: Food might be pricey to some

Delicious! - Edit
We ate at Chef Tanya’s Kitchen multiple times while in town and were never disappointed. The sandwiches are really fresh - crisp veggies, soft bread, and melt-in-your mouth delicious. I’m totally addicted to their “crack” cheese and worked it into every meal except the El Cubano sandwich (which was wonderful). The cooler always contains plenty of treats if you’re craving something sweet - the Mexican Chocolate Pudding was our favorite!
Read morePros: Fresh, delicious food, Well-stocked cooler with treats/take home meal, Eat-in option in separate dining area
