Steamed Veggies with Tofu a hit! - Edit
Updated Dec 6, 2025
Read moreIt's been a minute since I've eaten here and was pleasantly surprised.
Ordered the steamed veggies (kale, broccoli, carrots) with pan seared tofu on top and served with a ginger dressing - healthy and tasty.
============================================================
Had the misfortune of another bland meal. Will not be returning anytime soon.
After a break of a couple years from this place, we ventured to try again but found the food (orange cauliflower “chicken) just okay (food was luke warm to boot).
My recent encounter with the “Crazy Good Grilled Chicken Sandwich” left me hesitant to return to Native Foods. Ordered at the urging of the front clerk, it arrived very quickly but was undercooked and subsequently cold. I sent it back and the 2nd version fared no better. To be fair, the side salad with a balsamic dressing was great - fresh and flavorful. I’ll stick with the Twister Wrap next time but need a break from NF’s after this last experience. We’re all grateful to have a vegan eatery in the valley but rushing orders isn’t the way to endear clients to the menu.

Hidden Vegan Surprise - Edit
This place is wonderful! They have bowls, salads, burgers, sandwiches, wraps and even desserts. I’d recommend the orange cauliflower bowl or the bistro steak sandwich and follow it up with a peanut butter parfait! The staff is friendly and very helpful. It has plenty of seating indoors and out! Give it a try!

Go for the Munchwrap, Stay for the Vegan Comfort Food - Edit
Native Foods is my go-to spot when I’m craving vegan comfort food that still feels pretty wholesome. Their menu is 100% plant-based and leans into familiar flavors, so it’s a great choice whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or just curious—there’s really something for everyone.
Read moreMy current obsession is the Munchwrap Supreme: plant-based taco meat, melty cheese sauce, avocado, salsa fresca, a crispy corn tortilla, creamy chipotle sauce, lettuce, all wrapped in a flour tortilla. It’s messy in the best way and super satisfying. I’ve also tried the Chicken Run Ranch, with a crispy plant-based chicken patty, ranch, tomato, red onion, and mixed lettuce on a whole wheat bun. It tasted good and hit the craving, but the texture did remind me a bit of an old-school Boca patty. I’m looking forward to trying their bowls next. The location I visit also has a nice patio, which makes it a great spot for vegan meetups or just hanging out and enjoying your meal outside.
Pros: vegan comfort food, super satisfying, vegan meetups

Top Notch! - Edit
Just came from Native Foods in Palm Springs. Tried their new Banh Mi Bowl and it was delicious! Yes, it has a spicy kick, but the balance was top notch. Excellent food whether you’re vegan or not.

Great Vegan Spot with Patio - Edit
Visited Native Foods recently while in Palm Springs, and it didn’t disappoint! My husband and I were excited to try it, and even though it was busy, we enjoyed the nice patio and the large menu. We tried the Orange Cauliflower and the Gastropub Burger—both were delicious. We’d definitely go back!

Fantastic Lunch! - Edit
Very quick service and TASTY food. The Soul Bowl has a breaded plant-based breaded chicken which is stellar. Their potato salad was also great and their Watermelon-agave-mint beverage was a healthy delight

Amazing Tempeh Tacos 🌮 - Edit
Native foods is amazing because it is owned by former employees that purchased the business and are doing great! My favorite is the Tempeh tacos which are out of this world! They also have really good orange cauliflower which is like sweet-and-sour chicken but we love chicken so we eat cauliflower instead! If you’re in Palm Springs, you can’t miss a delicious meal at native foods!

Best food in Palm Springs - Edit
Not only is this the best food in Palm Springs, this is one of the best vegan restaurants in the country. We ate there twice in two days. We got the macro platter, taco salad, soul bowl, and Reuben sandwich with potato salad. They were all literally perfect. And the peanut butter parfait was so rich and delicious. #Veganuary

Best Vegan Restaurant in Coachella Valley - Edit
I am having problems ordering at Native Foods because everything is delicious here! I am not local so if I am I would have visited it weekly. 🙂 We had the Cauliflower Dippers with Thai Chili Cilantro Sauce and ranch, Baja Tacos, and Soul Bowl. The beans in the Soul Bowl is so creamy, tasty, and soft. Delicious! I think this is the best vegan restaurant in the area! We will back for sure. #Veganuary
