So delicious. The lines can get long here as this place is very popular. It serves the most delicious foods that are unique and flavorful. Spend some time looking around their little store as I found some great items. Highly recommend this take away. They also have some tables at an empty storefront next door. read more

My boyfriend and I ate at Tanya's while visiting Palm Springs for a concert. We were pleasantly surprised about the surprised we had. The food was delicious. The restaurant was clean, nice and relaxed. Super friendly service as well. We will definitely go back when in town. read more

I have been here a few times when I'm in town. Seems better for takeout than dine-in as the neighborhood is random and the room you can dine in is a few doors down from where you order. I like that everything is vegan and it isn't all fake meats and naughty vegan food. My last visit there I got their 2 setan tacos with cashew "crack" cheese served with soup. The setan was tasty, but I didn't really notice the cheese. Really enjoyed the soup it was served with. I also like that they have a little vegan market/storefront so that you can find some tasty treats to bring back to the kitchen. The service I've received here was also very attentive and friendly. I'll be back next time I'm in town! read more

Food: AMAZINNNNNNNG! Service: Julie was so kind and offered we try the chilli. It was so goooood! I'm glad we tried it and got some crackers along with it too. Food ordered: 1) Hippie sandwich - wow what is this amazingness. Love it!!! I wish I could have this daily 2) Banh mi - warm sandwich wish it had fresh cut jalapeños to add some refreshening spice to the entire sandwich. My hubs loved this more than the other sandwich 3) Chilli - absolutely delicious 4) Watermelon Lime refresher - amazing I'm sure this would be so good on a warm summer day. 5) Hibiscus refresher (2nd time I visited I got this one) - equally yummy just more sweeter than I would like! read more

The food is exceptional! The employees are wonderful! My husband and I eat there as often as we can.

Ordered this for lunch via DoorDash. It was made quickly. The mini ceasar salads were a great light snack and the garlic bread was very salty and garlicky which wasn't a bad thing! read more

Gourmet foods shop meets health food cafe. The location of the Kitchen is not particularly downtown adjacent, but what it lacks in curb appeal it makes up for by having plenty of guest parking. The moment you step through the front door you know you will be eating home made, freshly prepared food due to small, intimate aura of the main room. Gourmet foods ornament tall shelving units to provide you with everything you may be on the lookout for as a vegan chef (such as the items I personally picked up - Cherry chai preserves, a healthy EVOO version on nutella, black garlic soy sauce, and mouth watering organic pomodoro sauce). Large frozen + refrigerated sections are laden with gorgeous dessert foods, sauces, and ready to eat meals. The menu provides far more options than you would anticipate for such a boutique cafe. I got the "modern Hippie Vegan" sandwich and it was stellar. The vegetables were EXTREMELY fresh, the bread was fantastic, the vegan cheese was stellar, and the size was perfect. I washed it all down with the Coco drink - a house-prepared coffee, maple syrup, and oat milk beverage served in a mason jar - and drove away having loved the experience. read more

Chef Tanya's Kitchen - Modern Hippie Veggie - Vegan Near Me - Palm Springs, California

I'm not a vegan but if I could cook vegan food like this I would be. I got the modern hippie and my girlfriend got the Cubano, both were incredible. We also had the watermelon lime agua Fresca which was one of the best drinks I've had in a while. The staff was also super friendly! read more

I've tried Chef Tanya's dishes on three different occasions: once in Palm Desert, then at the BNP Paribas, and today at their location in an industrial auto park at the southernmost point of Palm Springs. I always love the decor and the type of clientele this restaurant attracts--it's almost like a cult following. Raised as a California kid, I was brought up to eat only vegetarian food, which was considered cutting edge at the time. While I'm not a strict vegetarian today, my roots are still there, and I try to eat healthy as much as possible regardless of the environment or circumstances. Today, I walked out of Chef Tanya's store with two cookies and a sandwich. The final price for everything was $34 and some cents. That sticker shock sent me off. First of all, a cookie should NEVER cost $5.00. Even though it was a large cookie, $1.75 would have been more appropriate. This review will probably stir up some of Chef Tanya's devotees, but that's not the point. I have to write what I truly think about this restaurant and its food. It's my honest opinion. As much as I think vegetarian food typically consists of quality ingredients, it should not be composed of gold bricks. The price point on this food has exceeded my value-for-money barometer. I must say that even though the sandwich (which was wrapped in lettuce instead of bread) was good, it was not THAT good. Sadly, I'm not a Chef Tanya's fan. Take it as you will--this is entirely my final thoughts on the matter. read more

Food and service was very good. I had the BLTA and it was excellent. Next time I am in the area, I will for sure stop by

Mom, puppy, and I are not vegan eaters but I wanted to try this place given the 4.8 star reviews and the dog friendly misted shaded patio for summer dining. . Mom and I were shocked after tasting the best French fries we ever had. They were fried in soy bean oil not vegetable oil and seasoned very well. The Coachella salad was also quite tasty and we would order that again. We also a had a berry drink they made fresh that was excellent as well. You even get a free refill on the drink! Our cashier and server was so nice to puppy with a bowl of water and some freshly fried treats for her as well. I'm not sure if they were made from tofu or not but puppy was not a fan. However , she is an extremely fussy eater. We will be back for sure. read more

The cubano without the mayo was so good and i devoured it in the parking lot and the banh mi was ok. Have had better but the cubano itself is a whopping 5 stars because it was that good. I normally take a bite of my food to ease my hunger down for a little bit but this was one of the rare times when one bite turned into i accidentally :9 the whole thing lol read more

Chef Tanya's - An All-Time Favorite! Chef Tanya's is hands down one of my all-time favorite spots! I'm absolutely obsessed with the Cubano--seriously, it's a must-try. And whatever you order, do yourself a favor and add the crack cheese. It takes everything to the next level! The Agua Frescas are always light, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal.

Always a staple when we are passing near Chef Tanya's! We really enjoy the Tempe Burgers there! One of a kind. I love the Guadalajara Burger and my partner loves the Gordo Chilli Chesse burger. We love the flavor from the Tempe. I hadn't tasted this anywhere so far. This place has all sorts of delicious vegan food and treats for your craving. Make sure to try that key lime parfait! That is legit sooooo amazing. This is such a cute little store filled with things you can bring back home like snacks, stickers, dried pastas, desserts, and more! read more

On our way from LA to Mexico, we decided Palm Springs was the best place to stop for a coffee & lunch. We went to Cartel Roasting Co. for a cup of joe and while I looked through every menu of vegan options near me, something about Chef Tanya's Kitchen Menu looked very appetizing. "Bahn Mi & You" was just calling my name so my boyfriend placed an online pickup order. There were plenty of parking spots located in a business center / industrial area. When my boyfriend went in to pickup, he was excited to tell me it was a quick service counter. He brought me a potato salad and a slice of carrot cake to take on the road. The sandwich was refreshing, it was exactly what I was craving for our drive down to Baja. It was so delicious that we decided to order takeout on our drive back from Mexico to LA. Palm Springs was our designated stop once again, but this time we tried the "Pastrami Mami" and a turkey sandwich. The two sandwiches we tried were tasty once again. Chef Tanya's Kitchen really knows what they're doing and I'm glad we were able to taste the freshness of the high quality ingredients. The sandwiches, salad, and slice of cake made our trip successful. We did not need to stop elsewhere after our meal. Overall, highly recommend! Absolutely worth trying. It is a vegan paradise inside. The environment was clean and healthy. The staff were kind and friendly. I will happily revisit whenever I'm in the desert. :) read more

We just got back from a trip to Palm Springs, this was our first stop and we had to go back again on our drive out. The food was so good, one of the restaurants that I know I will keep thinking about and it makes going to Palm Springs even more special. Everything we tried was amazing, the breakfast burrito, the breakfast bowl, the Bahn Mi, the original burger, the Moroccan Cauliflower salad, the carrot cake, the chocolate soft serve and the apple tart with the flaky crust. read more

Tried this place for the first time a few weeks ago. We got a bunch of things from the menu and they were all good. Looking fwd to trying other things on the menu! Highly recommend! read more

Amazingly delicious, we visit every time we come to Palm Springs. The banh mi is my favorite!

Yum! What an amazing scratch vegan kitchen with real flavor. Tempeh burgers were the best 10/10 and we got the ceaser salad on the side. French dip special on the weekend exceeded expectations as well. Not pictured was the fish sandwich special, with tartar sauce that left me long wishing there was more. Everything was a good size portion and prices are fair for organic, delicious and conscious kitchen. Clean bathrooms and seating available next door. Service was kind and food was always made available within 10-15 minutes Did I mention we went three days in a row when visiting from out of town? Better than any vegan cafe/delis we have in the LA area. Thanks! Looking forward to returning in the future read more

I saw the 5 stars and told my golf foursome that we have to try it. When we drove up two of the four in our group screamed "It's Vegan Noooooo !" Once we calmed them down we drug them in kicking and complaining but we got them in and told them to toughen up and order something that looks good to you. They had the chili and loved it. I had the pastrami sandwich it was very good but tasted like chicken Our service was compassionate and the food was very good. The agua fresca drink was the hit of the meal It was fresh and so flavorful. I will be back read more

A unexpected cute little oasis of vegan food. We would've never found this sandwich shop if it werent for Yelp because it was tucked off the main roads (by industrial area), but I'm glad we stopped by! The front area had a little display of vegan knickknacks, like cookie mixes and curry paste, and a deli section. My only complaint is that they didn't have a sitting area so we had to eat in the car (or under a brink ledge by the tree). We ordered and picked up sandwiches, a salad, and a peanut butter parfait from the refrigerated section. The parfait was really fluffy, not overpowering of peanut and sweetened with crumbled chocolate crackers. I liked it a lot more than I expected.The caprese sandwhich was really good! It had a patty of what i think was either tempeh or seitan? I've never had either but it was pretty tasty. The El cubano sandwhich was pretty decent. The ratio of the deli meat to other fillings was a bit off for me but other than that it was tasty. i read more

Chef Tanya's Kitchen - The front entrance (along with menu stand), the Parfait Peanut Butter Cup and "holiday specials" rotating on butcher paper. - Vegan Near Me - Palm Springs, California

Vegan market and deli. A little off the beaten path in PS, but a hidden oasis for sure. They are in a business park and have plenty of parking spots. It's a deli/retail space and down a few doors there is a spot with tables to eat. We took our food with us. The food is incredible. From sandwiches to salads to soups. Drinks. To consume on site or to go. Fun local products and vegan flair to shop. No photos because we ate everything so fast because it was so yummy. Can't wait to come back! read more

Great service & choice of vegan options. Healthy & tasty. Would love to come back again to this place!

Chef Tanya, I liove. I only wish it were a bit more affordable. That's just a wish but I'll still order expensive delicious vegan BLT's. She's got me hooked on the delicious. read more

I could not more grateful that I discovered this AMAZING spot!! I first tried this place out several years ago on a family get away to the dessert, and I have gone back every single time I am in the area. The quality and flavor of the food is well worth the price. The staff members are absolutely lovely. The merchandise and "market" offerings are so great! I am proud of being vegan whenever I enter the door. read more

Every time we're in town, we make it a point to eat at Chef Tanya's Kitchen. This time around, we had a pug, and she was welcomed inside, and they gave her snacks while we were there. If you'd like unique items, you can find really good snacks, gifts, and even ice cream located just next door! read more

I hardly ever write reviews, but the food and vibe at Chef Tanya's was truly out of this world. My partner got the special and my eyes just about popped out of my head when I tried it. I knew my BLTA was going to bode well and it was also fabulous. But man...that Moby Dick sandwich was maybe top 10 sandwiches for me of all time, vegan or not. Service was amazing. Just cannot recommend this spot enough for a nice lunch or snack! read more

Chef Tanya's Kitchen - El Cubano - Vegan Near Me - Palm Springs, California

It's a vegan's paradise!! All the food is delicious, service is great, and the shop is super cute. 10/10 recommend.

Great vegan spot and i really liked the desserts. I liked the el Cubano more than the pastrami mami surprisingly since the pastrami is always talked abt. Coachella forever salad was super refreshing and the mango sauce is amazing. The fried were so good with the Siracha mayo. Definitely get the carrot cake and eat it with the soft serve! It is amazing. I will say the soft serve is good for being vegan but not just good. You get used to it while eating for sure and it starts to taste better as you keep eating. the chocolate drizzle has a liquor taste to it and for those who don't like super decadent chocolate then this is for you. Super cute inside with a lot of things to look at and all the workers are very friendly. Wish we tried the cinnamon rolls and the Mexican chocolate pudding but we weren't in Palm Springs for enough days :( read more

This review is from our visit from the Palm Springs Vegan Ruben Run. Chef Tanya's kitchen has a Ruben called a pastrami mami. It is a house made seitan based pastrami, topped with mom sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, dill pickle, and melted cheese on rye bread - all vegan! The dill pickles really add in that extra tang and the pastrami seitan holds its own in flavor. The bread is great. It looses a tad of crunch as the sandwich is wrapped hot to go. $17.43 with tax, not including tip. These sandwiches can also be found cold at local Tower Markets. They are even good cold. read more

My favorite vegan sandwiches because the bread isn't overwhelming and the fillings are abundant!

Yesterday, on my birthday my niece and I visited sunny Palm Springs and I chose this spot. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by the staff. The amazing young lady at the counter helped us through the food options and process for dine-in. The store/restaurant had a nice selection of useful kitchen items and extras (cool stickers) for sale. OUR FOOD...one of the BEST prepared vegan meals I have ever had. The mouth watering seasonings were on POINT! We had a taste party of tacos, pozole, the amazing Guadalajara burger, mac' n cheese (not pictured) and cookies! The nice young lady gave me a for my bday! This spot is sooo worth the travel off the busy highway...I WILL BE RETURNING VERY SOON and I have shared the location with friends and family that enjoy and appreciate good cooking! read more

The food here is delicious. I had the BBQ sandwich (Daily special) which was fairly simple, but I left feeling good. We also had the Tofu Bahn Mi. The service inside was quick and they were helpful. You do have to order and walk to another building to eat, but they had the AC blasting which was awesome since it was 100° + outside. It was also very clean inside. Will 100% come here again when I'm in town. read more

this review was long overdue. Ive been going to Chef Tonya's since I moved to town six years ago, but I haven't been back in about six months while I was eating my chili beans, I found a inch long metal piece in the beans here's a picture. I'm sure it was just a fluke. But once something like this happens, it's hard to forget, just be careful. read more
