Tofu bowl - Edit
I had my heart set on the veggie tofu bowl and am glad I called before placing an order because it is NOT vegan! The sauce contains honey :(

Terrible all around - Edit
First, you need to get a special menu from the counter that tells you how to make the food vegan.
Read moreThen, the lady at the counter asks if you're vegan or *vegan*... Because they consider honey to be vegan and nearly all the sauces and dressings contain it. Cool.
Last, the food was embarrassingly awful. The enchilada sauce was basically tomato paste, the cheeze was not melted, and the black beans were dry and unseasoned. I had to drown it in hot sauce to moisten it up and make it palatable.
Cons: Honey is vegan ??, Poor quality

Hungry Planet Burger = ☺️ - Edit
I highly recommend the vegan Hungry Planet Burger. It has become one of my favorite burgers. It's absolutely delicious with a tasty patty, melty vegan cheese, carmelized onions, lettuce, tomato, and vegan mayo. Adding avocado makes it even better. Beyond is usually my favorite but this one may have surpassed it! I love the burger too much right now so I likely won't try too much else at Natural Cafe yet, but there are plenty of other vegan options on the menu that sound great.

Love this place! - Edit
I’ve been to the Natural Cafe in three of its locations in CA and I love eating here! The staff is always very pleasant and makes sure I my dietary needs are met. I’ve ordered a different thing every time I’ve been here and as a vegan at a non veg establishment that’s pretty impressive. My non-vegan friends love eating here with me too!

A convenient place to eat vegan and healthy food - Edit
This healthy food restaurant offers several vegan options (that are not very clearly indicated) on the menu. I took the vegan burger with vegan cheese and nachos. It was good but fries could have been interesting with the burger. I also took a smoothie that was good. The service was quick and the place is pleasant, with many sauces on self service.
Read morePros: many vegan options, healthy food, pleasant place
Cons: not 100% vegan, vegan options could be more clearly indicated

Convenient - Edit
This is a nice little place if you want a quick and convenient hit of some relatively healthy fare. The menu is limited and it borders the line of fast/healthy food. That’s its trade off. The lentil soup had wholesome ingredients, but tended toward the saltier side of seasoning. The stir fried veggies and brown rice was serviceable but a tad pricey. Healthy enough, but hardly earth shattering. Overall, I’d recommend it as a quick alternative to the rubbish fast food so predominant as you drive around the States. As a visitor from overseas, this hit the right spot with a medium note.
Read morePros: Quick, Convenient , Pay over the counter
Cons: Bread was sugary, Unimaginative

Don't Overlook The Natural Cafe - Edit
The Natural Café, a small restaurant chain on the Central Coast of California is fantastic. Although, not entirely vegan, it does offer a extensive menu of vegan and wheat/gluten free items, great tasting, professionally presented dishes, and a well appointed decor. What was really encouraging was the staff; they actually knew what vegan and wheat/gluten free was all about. This was our first visit to this chain, and my partner and I were very impressed. I had the vegetarian tamale and my partner had the vegetarian stir-fry with tofu; both dishes had totally unexpected and wonderful flavors. I think that this small chain has outlets all thru the Central Coast and is a great comfort to us knowing that they are there. What a change from traveling just a few years ago!.
