I kept hearing about this place and figured it was about time I gave it a shot and I'm so happy I did. I ordered for pick up via the toast app. This Chipotle Sunrise Wrap was so good. I just wish there was more Chicken for the amount you're charged to add it ($4.25). There wasn't a huge amount of avocado or onion either. I know next time to order extra. But the quality of the food is amazing. & some people may not enjoy the notes, but this made me really happy to see the note on the bag. It was a great touch. The staff were so friendly too. They double checked my order and ensured I didn't leave without the hot sauce or extra chipotle sauce. It a cute little shop on 4th street and I will definitely be back. They're always busy and I can't wait to return to try their coffee! read more

Great experience, the staff is amazing there is one guy there I think his name is John? But he is absolutely fantastic! A definite must try.

We takeout from the San Rafael Cafe del Soul at least once a week and it is a favorite! Go-to dishes are: quinoa wrap, curry soul good, nachos, and quesadillas, the Notorious Dip, and ginger limeade. read more

Truly one of my top favorite places in all of Marin. Have been going here since they opened and it's always remained consistent fresh, with friendly staff, and quick service. The quinoa wrap is my favorite, and I also love the nachos de Maria, and any of the smoothies! Only thing is the prices have definitely gone up a bit over the last few years but of course this is understandable, and I'll always keep coming back! read more

Good place for healthy and light good they have a variety of salads and other dishes their coffee selection is also good. Staff is always very nice and fast but sometimes they take their time they have always a full place and lots of to go orders. read more

Been here several times over the years. Menu is a bit eclectic- salads, nachos, wraps- but somehow it works. Just had a lovely salad- curry salad- and it is a great combination of savory with a bit of sweet with the cranberries. Probably my favorite menu item. Espresso is good too. Love having them in the area as I feel I can always order healthy if wanted. read more

Cafe Del Soul - Inside - Vegetarian Near Me - San Rafael, California

My dish looked nothing like the photos. It was quite expensive to pay for a plate of quinoa with a few sprinkles of chicken and avacado! Also. I don't care what country anybody comes from. I don't care if they are here legally or not. But what I do care about is being able to speak English to the helpers! read more

I absolutely LOVE the Chipotle Sunrise Wrap! They offer a great selection of healthy options. It's a bit on the pricier side, but otherwise a great spot. read more

I love the Nachos de Maria! It's a salad on top of chips and queso. I add chicken and avocado. Just delicious!

I tried the nachos Maria. My food was delicious. Service was great. My order was made quickly. The only thing that was a little annoying was that I tried to order for pickup but it was only available for the mill valley location. When I asked the person who took my order why there isn't an option for San Rafael he didn't really have an explanation. Other than that, my order was made quickly as I said so it wasn't a big deal. read more

Ordered different salads and wraps and they were great! I wish the tofu on the salad was baked or had some sort of flavor as it was raw. The portions were perfect and filling. Emmanuel, the server was so kind. He was attentive and made sure our group of 4 all had what we needed. He is a very hard worker and made our experience very pleasant. read more

fantastic vegie food and they can add chicken. Super Yummy quinoa bowls. Rice veggies. Nachos for the teens. Nice servers.... Downside: When you enter: You are always taken a bit back by- This cute cafe-restaurant does not smell good! the wafting of hot water odor from the dishwasher, maybe a simple vent could fix this. Also this time Server was coughing and sick, so now I have a sore throat too. That means a week for me trying to get better. :( Note to Dear Owner: Not sure if you can hear me; This is a health food restaurant, no? At the moment: upset. Give your workers a day off with pay when they are sick. read more

Awesome healthy food and good service! I really like the wraps Order online for fast pick w read more

Food is always yummy!! Highly recommend the Quinoa Nachos, however I would ask for the dressing on the side bc it can be a little too much for your stomach. Customer service is always welcoming and very nice ambiance with a clean space! Love the cooks!! They are always so nice with their little notes on the to go orders definitely a good spot for a quick grub! Pls try their ginger limeade too!!! read more

I can already tell this is gonna be my go-to lunch spot for when I'm craving a detox or something that's gonna make my body FEEL GOOD! I got the cilantro lime wrap with tofu & one of their juices. The juice was very good! The wrap was soooo yummy, refreshing, and exactly what I was craving. I wish there were more toppings inside, but I can see why they only use a few ingredients. I can't wait to try more of their wraps! read more

Cafe Del Soul - Close up of the cilantro lime wrap with tofu! - Vegetarian Near Me - San Rafael, California

I've passed by many times and have seen their eye catching Smart car all around town, but haven't eaten at Cafe Del Soul until recently. Everyone at the office is a fan and orders lunch all the time. My boss introduced me to his favorite wrap: the Sunrise wrap with tofu. I'm hooked! Besides tofu it's filled with brown rice, cheese, avocado, chopped tomato with a spicy chipotle seasoning. It's packed with flavor and fills you right up. Besides wraps they offer salads and nachos. Get the Nachos Maria!! It is a salad and nachos put together: a layer of chips and melted cheese with salad on the top. I like to add chicken to my order. On every to go order you'll find on the box or paper bag a warm handwritten message with hearts included. What a nice touch. To be honest I had no interest in trying their food since I thought they only served gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian food. I'm glad I didn't judge a book by its cover thanks to my boss and coworkers. read more

I feel like I would have given an even higher rating if I would have been able to try my own food! Unfortunately, I ordered online for pickup and when I arrived to get my food not only did they give me someone else's orders when I looked at the receipt attached to the bag it had been sitting there for 3 hours! Was completely uneatable even if I had wanted to try something I didn't order. I realize I should have double checked my stuff before using walked out but it was my first time and I was going with the flow! Luckily my friend gave me half of hers so I could at least try the places food she so highly recommended, and they did give me my money back after a complicated conversation with 2 people that weren't quite understanding. Hope to try my real order again and maybe adjust my rating. read more

I have been coming here for years and actually once worked here before and i'm obsessed with the quinoa quesadilla. they need to open a location in la asap! read more

Salad was good and I generally like their food but the value is not there for me. They charge an additional $4.25 for chicken and when I got it was shocked how little they gave. When I asked about the chicken portion they said it was right and they include 2 oz (!!) of chicken for this price. So, this salad was $17.50 before tip. read more

The food is fantastic but I recommend the Mill Valley location. I ordered delivery from the San Rafael location for the last time tonight. After being told it it would be there in 30 to 40 minutes it was an hour and a half and we got rancid dip that was marked with an expiration date four days ago. read more

SOUTHWEST SALAD: wanted to stick to a healthy lunch today so I came back to Cafe Del Soul. My second time here and you can tell that it's a pretty popular spot due to the deliciousness of their food.. Everything smells so fresh when you walk in and they have so many options to choose from it's worth coming back again and again. I ordered the southwest chicken salad with free range chicken it came with avocado and chipotle dressing. The salad was yummy it was fresh and light and it felt like it was truly made with love. I also got to taste their gluten free west African soup and will definitely be back to order it next time. They have been voted the best vegetarian and best sustainable restaurant in Marin for 3 years in a row for a reason. Also on the menu a variety of wraps, quinoa dishes, nachos, quesadillas, rice dishes, organic smoothies, organic juices. Highly recommended when you're in San Rafael!! read more

Full disclosure: I eat meat. With that being said, I really enjoy treating myself to their quinoa quesadilla (add tofu) and their a ginger lemonade. It's so good! One of my favorite meals to have when I need to eat something clean. read more

Loooove the salads from Cafe Del Soul! I typically get southwestern salad with half kale and half quinoa and add chicken- highly recommend! Everything is pretty healthy. Their homemade hot sauce is the perfect addition- not too hot and adds great flavor. read more

"Made with Love" This is what 13,50 gets you. A mound of sub par chips, cheese and sauce with a sliver of avocado and a few beans. No meat. This must be a joke? It also took forever to get food and there's no logical place to stand or wait when it's busy. Not worth it. This place needs to acknowledge its weaknesses. read more

Cafe Del Soul - Vegetarian Near Me - San Rafael, California

I get this for lunch with my company all the time when I'm trying to go on the healthier side of lunches. A bit pricey for the amount of food they offer but that's expected from organic/whole food restaurants in Marin. My favorite meals are any variety of their Chipotle House-Made Dressing, super flavorful and delicious! Both brown rice and quinoa options are awesome. I got their Quinoa Chipotle Wrap with tofu this time which about $12. Their quinoa Chipotle bowl is $14 and I realized it's pretty much the same amount as the wrap so ordering the wrap is a better deal. A very cute touch that they write "Made with love" with every meal. As a frequent meat eater, this restaurant is a great change for anyone looking for tasty vegetarian food that's super healthy and doesn't make you feel sleepy or like you ate a brick for lunch! read more

Cafe Del Soul - Quinoa Chipotle - Vegetarian Near Me - San Rafael, California

Amazing food n friendly service - great selection especially those new to this kind of food

The food and service are really good. A wide variety and nice sized portions. I would have given it five starts, but I was really surprised by the price of my ice tea. Just green tea with a big of agave and it was rung up at $5.67. I did not see the price before ordering and feel that this price was out of sync with their fair food prices. read more

Nice vegetarian options at this place during our one night visit to Novato. I had the quinoa-kale Mediterranean salad with tofu, and hubby had the chipotle wrap with chicken. Both were delicious and not pricey in comparison to other local spots with similar fare. Will visit again if back in the area. read more

Horrific service! Could care less about customers and left me hanging so long, I left without eating

Best smoothies! I recommend if you like a real smoothie that's Delicious, healthy, not made with ice or old frozen fruits and fresh. This might be a hidden gem and I just discovered in downtown San Rafael. I hope other people find it so we can give them lots of business. read more

Last few times here I've noticed a sharp absence of helpful service or positive attitude behind the counter. The wraps and smoothies are decent but not worth the hassle in my opinion. read more

Cafe Del Soul made me think of a couple of things I'd not thought of in years: First, the steady flow of students from nearby Marin Academy made me recollect how unsophisticated the teenage palate is. During his high school years my younger son regularly ordered in from Sol Food displaying both his inherited foodie pedigree as well as evidence that I was gifting him far too much in lunch money. But the majority of teenage palates? Unsophisticated. Second, the food here reminded me of my first vegetarian cookbook, a gift from my father back in the late '70s. Vegetarian fare has evolved so far from those days but the food here seems stuck in that era. Though hormone-free, free-range chicken can be added to any dish (for $3.25) the menu is otherwise meatless and of the beans-cheese-brown rice-quinoa school. A Sunshine Salad ($8) was supposedly bathed in a citrus-cumin vinaigrette but I tasted neither. In fact, it was so lightly dressed that I questioned whether it was dressed at all. Even the sparsely applied dressing wouldn't be a problem though, if the salad were chock-full of deliciousness. This one was the opposite: sliced avocado, onion, and a smattering of grated cheddar cheese didn't make this a bang-up salad. All dishes here begin as vegetarian and can be enhanced with the chicken, organic tofu ($1), and/or organic spinach and almonds ($3). Though it'll cost you, I think it might be the only way to add some depth of flavor. That, or order one of the dishes with "chipotle" in the title; a quick scan of Yelp reviews reveals that people seem to like those dishes. The uber-casual Cafe Del Sol isn't breaking any new culinary ground and may in fact be taking a giant step back to the '70s. Though it appears good enough for the high schoolers I can't help but wish they'd take a page from Oahu's Beet Box Cafe and serve up some truly inspired and delicious vegetarian fare. read more

Cafe Del Soul - Sunshine Salad ($8, tax included) needed a lot more of something, anything, to make it delicious. Very basic and uninteresting. - Vegetarian Near Me - San Rafael, California

I love Cafe del Soul's food, but every time I go back, they've raised their prices again! It made sense during COVID, but I used to pay about $13 for a chicken quinoa wrap, then it was $17, then $18.70, and now over $19! I can tell U my income certainly hasn't gone up 46% during the same time frame. Mgmt, please stop raising your prices and maybe I'll start eating there again. read more
