This is a nice little cafe in an easily accessible strip mall. There's an extensive menu of salads, bowls, burritos, paninis, etc. All of them are delicious. There's plenty of parking and ample seating.

So glad I found this place!! - Edit
Sabor a Vida Cafe & Deli is AMAZING!! I tried it for the first time today and wow, I completely understand why people rave about this place. The owner is so kind and helpful and really takes the time to explain the menu and all the different options.
Read moreI ordered the rainbow sandwich, and my bf got the almond butter banana toast, and the Black Forest smoothie and everything was incredible. The sandwich might honestly be the best I’ve ever had!! The toast was so delicious and the smoothie was perfectly sweet and refreshing.
And the prices honestly blew me away. It was around $11 for the sandwich with chips. Everything is so affordable, I’m seriously in love with this place and still thinking about that sandwich.
Definitely my new favorite spot! 🤍

solid option for a casual bite - Edit
Friendly staff, casual, good options for a quick & healthy breakfast or lunch. The avocado toast (with tomatoes and feta cheese) is delicious. Cashew tuna wrap is very good. Outdoor seating. Even had some live music outside our last time here.

Healthy, quality ingredients - Edit
Nothing fast food about this place. I tried 2 burritos 🌯 🌯 (Storm and Thunder), and both were really big in size, and didn’t make me feel guilty about going out to eat. No high amounts of salt or fats here. So if you’re looking for a health-conscious vegan spot, I would definitely recommend this place. The green sauce that comes with the burritos, in particular, is phenomenal.

Chilaquiles! - Edit
My boyfriend and I tried a sandwich and the chilaquiles. Both dishes were good, but the chilaquiles stood out. The sauce was spicy, flavorful, and well-seasoned. The food came out quickly, and the person working was friendly.

Some of the food items are great but not all. Chickpea sandwich is great. The lady was not friendly or helpful when trying to decide on what to get from the menu. It would have been a better experience with friendly helpful staff.

It’s ok - Edit
Everything I had so far was average. The panini was cold, burritos is filled with rice and almost nothing else. So it becomes very dry.

Chiliquelas - Edit
A lovely cafe with some of the best chiliquelas in the county. Paninis are a bit small, stick with the wraps, bowls, and daily specials.
