    I love the healthy bowl options and the portions are great too! I got the Buddha bowl and loved the flavor. Wish they had alternatives to white rice base but otherwise the ingredients on top were super fresh and loved the pineapple to add some sweetness! Service was great.

    I was absolutely devastated when Native Foods started closing its restaurants. Now with only two employee-owned cafés remaining, I was so excited to visit the Palm Springs location! Native Foods has created meal you can feel good about without sacrificing flavor or texture. While everything on the menu is delicious, the Almost Famous Bowl, Bistro Steak Sandwich, and Gastropub Burger are definitely my favorites, especially when paired with the seasoned fries. The Peanut Butter Parfait is so rich and sweet, perfectly complimenting the savoriness of the appetizers and meals. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to dine at Native Foods again and can't wait for my next visit! By dining here, you'll not only help keep the Native Foods legacy going, but also indulge in some of the best plant-based food around!

    First time trying this place out and I must say, I love it. Albert's customer service was top notch from start to finish . I ordered the Chicken Bacon Avocado Sandwich meal, with the watermelon Fresca drink so good. The flavors on this Sandwich had me going back for more, bite after bite. I've never had vegan food before and must say everything was freshly made with the freshest ingredients. I'm glad my friend put me on to this place and now I have a place I can explore the rest of your menu. Don't hesitate coming by and trying out their amazing vegan food, you won't be disappointed at all.

    Native foods was clean and inviting, bright and the man behind the counter was very friendly. The menu full was of different unique flavor palate options. I couldn't decide what to get, there were so many meals I wanted to try, but I was sold on the almost famous bowl because it had vegan chicken and mashed potatoes. It was delicious and the right choice to make. I will be back to try more on the menu!

    Food was pretty good. Prompt service with happy staff. Mellow vibes for a cute ambiance. Inside and outside seating available. "Burgers" are impossible patties but other than that I would try something different off of their menu again.

    Reuben Sandwich, Seasoned Fries and Side of Ranch Dressing

    I love the taste of our dishes. We ordered three different dishes and my favorite was the bowl with the mac and cheese. I must say that what stood out to me the most was the ranch dressing. This ranch needs to be bottled and sold in stores! I would buy it! Service with a sassy smile is how I would call our server, lol. He knows his place, he knows his food, and although he's not vegan, he loves vegan food...haha! He came to check on us a couple times outside which was very nice being that we order from the counter and it's not a full service restaurant.

    Outstanding find! This little eatery is somewhat hidden inside an old shopping center, so take the time to find them. The food is very fresh, made to order, and filling. Their healthy options are good for both your body & soul. Pro-Tip: Their infused waters are made in-house and delightful. Very refreshing!!

    So welcoming!

    As always, Native Foods comes through with the freshest, healthiest food. Chris and Misty are such nice people. Chris was off the day we went in, but when he heard we were there, he texted us to ask how we were. Very neighborly! If you haven't tried their new breakfast burrito, you MUST! It is big, filling and full of all of the flavors you would expect from them.

    I wish all restaurants offered such a nice selection of healthy options that taste this great. The interior is simple, order one of their many bowl selections at the counter and take a seat. I'm a fan of their hibiscus tea which reminds me of many Agua de Jamaica's. A perfect place for a quick lunch but still works for dinner too. Ps it's tucked in about 20' into the retail plex so it is not visible from the street.

    Vegan!

The service was great and friendly, and willing to seat us even an hour before closing their lunch hours and giving us lots of time and patience and never let our waters get low either! Their coffee is french press, and they offer fresh pressed juices too. They brought the french press pot to the table so you could press and refill your own cup as needed. We got grapefruit & watermelon, and both were refreshing and cooling. We ordered the avocado toast, the breakfast croissant, the breakfast sandwich, and the salmon crepe. Everyone really enjoyed their food. I found the salmon crepe to be really delicious, served with a jammy egg, a generously sized portion of salmon on a bed of spinach with some creme fraiche all wrapped in a delicious crepe wrap. I've never had anything quite like it. Also major compliments to the simple but refreshing side salad that came with each of our breakfasts, but we were also given the option of potatoes or mixed berries. Would recommend highly to anyone in the area looking for a good spot to have brunch.

Which they normally alway have one. And it was Father's Day so we expected it to be quite busy. There was one person in-front of me when checking in with the hostess. It was going to be about half an hour for a table under first available. They take your number and text you when your table is ready with a 10 min grace period to get back. It did table about half hour till we received the text. This visit, we got seated inside which was a first for us. Majority of the restaurant is outside with covered umbrellas and small sections in the inside area with different rooms. Our waitress was quite sweet but didn't remember her name. Menu is pretty much same as I remember from last time. Of course the Bloody Mary is always a must here. Started off with that. Food wise, the andouille sausage omelette served with potatoes or a salad and avocado. That also comes with a side of baguette. And the baked brie platter which is a shared starter. But works also a meal if needed. A nice hefty portion of baked Brie with hazelnuts, both ciabatta bread and Asian pear as well as date jam. And a side order of bagel and cream cheese. Food was good. We've only been for brunch and each visit was great. Dinner is a prix fix menu which we have never been. Service was great and the staffs were all very friendly. Water was constantly filled when it was emptied. Until next time.

Palm Springs has a night market that happens Thursday night from 6-10 where it brings out people. Food vendors, arts and crafts, gifts and so on. A nice family outing on the main strip. Also all the storefronts are open as well. The thing with something like that, you tend to stand or find a seat along the curb to sit with your food. Hence we finally walked into this restaurant. It was pretty busy when we walked in but at the right time. Got seated right away as there was only two tables available. By the time we were seated, the line was pretty long. It's just off the main strip. Pretty decent size patio which seems to be where everyone was utilizing it as it was nice out. There's a bar area with seating as well as indoor, a smaller room. Service was nice. Water and menu was brought out first then came the chips and salsas. Quite tasty but can be filling if you can't control yourself. Started off with their classic margaritas and the spicy margaritas. There's a few dollars difference from classic to spicy. They weren't that bad. Menu wise, a mixture of all your Mexican dishes. We didn't have any starters as we just wanted the mains. The carne asada plate which came with both rice and beans. I opted for only rice. Thin skirt steak with chorizo, grilled jalapeño and onion, flour or corn tortillas and salsa. And the chicken enchiladas verde with the green sauce. The food was quite tasty. Carne asada plate was pretty plentiful. Nice skirt steak with a nice piece of chorizo. Both were quite tasty and flavorful. Steak was decent and cooked well. Not overly done. Then you have the enchiladas. It's decent in size but not too big. It's good if you're not too hungry. The sauce was great and was a perfect pair to the dish. As it was our first time, it was great. All these place that's been there but you walk by loads of time. Sometimes you just have to try new places out and see what comes of it. Maybe it's a hit. We quite enjoyed it and glad that we finally tried it out.

Both my husband and I ordered shrimp tacos. I don't eat meat, so I always choose fish or shrimp as alternatives. The first two tacos I received (fish and shrimp) actually had beef in them. I sent them back and clearly explained that I do not eat meat. I then reordered shrimp tacos and specifically told the waitress again about my dietary restriction. Unfortunately, the second batch came with bacon. While yes, I could have read every ingredient more carefully, I would expect the staff to be more attentive and helpful--especially after I had already sent food back for the same issue. Instead, the waitress lectured me about not reading the menu, which felt inappropriate and unprofessional. On top of that, the tacos themselves were not good--overloaded with random ingredients and not at all enjoyable, especially for $23. I left feeling unwell and very dissatisfied. The strangest part of the experience was the hostess at the front. She appeared completely disengaged, staring off into the distance. I tried multiple times to get her attention for something as simple as a napkin or the check, waving while she was looking in my direction, but she didn't respond at all. Overall, poor service, lack of attention to dietary needs, and disappointing food. I wouldn't return.

    A Wonderful Surprise for Two Very "Basic" Sushi People…read more My husband and I usually stick to the classics -- a California roll or something tempura‑based is about as wild as we get -- but this place had such great recommendations that we decided to be a little adventurous. I'm so glad we did. Reservations were simple to make online, and I loved that we could choose between bar seating, patio dining, or indoor dining. We chose indoors, and the atmosphere was beautiful: warm lighting, stylish decor, and a really inviting vibe. The staff was excellent from start to finish -- friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful. I ordered a whiskey cocktail recommended by our waitress (I wish I remembered the name), and it was absolutely delicious. We started with the gyoza, which were sublime -- perfectly crisp on the outside and tender inside. For maki, we tried the Experiment roll and the Ginger Shallot roll. Both were phenomenal. I was nervous my husband would hate them, but the ingredients blended so harmoniously that even he was impressed. Truly fantastic. We also ordered the bao buns, which my husband thought were incredibly juicy and flavorful. The only miss for me was the miso soup -- a bit too salty -- but everything else more than made up for it. We left absolutely stuffed, but also excited to come back and try even more adventurous rolls next time. For two people who usually play it safe with sushi, this place was a delightful step outside our comfort zone.

I think this would be an amazing option to take for a picnic or on the go given how well made they were! I can't wait to come back and try the rest of the empanada options or maybe something else from their menu to sit and enjoy!

Thank you for a delicious bite.
