    Garlic "chicken" vegan sandwhich
    Cassie B.

    I have driven by Nature's Goodness several times and today I decided to come in and try it. Their big emphasis seemed to be that they serve vegan and health foods, so as a vegetarian I was excited to try this spot. They have a selection of sandwiches, salads, smoothies and various coffee type drinks including matcha, I also saw they serve dole whip. Upon entering I notice they have a small shop and their menu displayed above the cashier. I decided to get a sandwich with vegan meat, the garlic chicken. I think the owner was the one who assisted me and he showed me that you fill out a form to order your sandwich. I ordered pretty much all the toppings but forgot to mark cheese so I was sad my sandwich was missing it but that's ok. The sandwich was delicious, I got it toasted on dutch crunch and their dill ranch dressing was really tasty, I like how fresh the sandwich was. I also decided to order their matcha, the matcha was a nice bright green color and I like that it didn't need any sweetener and tasted delicious on its own. Probably one of the best matchas in Carmichael area. The only thing that was a little inconsistent was their prices, I understand everything increases in prices these days but they should of updated the pricing on their menu. Overall I would come back again and try their dole whip and other vegan meat selections.

    What a gem! Ask yourself the last time you found a restaurant that actually had reasonable prices and great customer service. Before eating at Nature's Goodness, I'd have a hard time answering that one. This little family-run café tucked in a quiet shopping center in Carmichael has as many plant-based options as they do omnivore and it all comes with the absolute friendliest service. I come in regularly for the sandwiches that are loaded with fresh produce and Butcher's Son deli meats. Vegan mayo, vegan cheese... no problem, you build your sandwich or wrap the way you want it. No vegan tax here! They carry Dole Whip and, on occasion, Oatly plant-based soft serve. It's almost dangerous how good those two things taste together. Recently they started featuring flavored iced teas from Tractor Beverage Co. that are super refreshing. Don't skip on one of those either. I was also surprised to see they offer a small selection of vegan donuts from Family Donuts in nearby Fair Oaks as well (major plus) and also expanded to carry vegan ice cream. I can't rave about Nature's Goodness enough. They are a huge addition to the local plant-based scene and worth driving across town for!

    Veggie sandwich completely vegan even the ciabatta bread

    Omg! I am so glad my friend to me about Nature's Goodness. As much as I am in the Reyes Azteca shopping center I've driven past is gem many times. I walk in and am immediately greeted. The lady who runs the business and I forget her name so please forgive me is so kind and helpful and answered all of my dietary needs especially allergens. I love that they serve vegan food and they also serve food for the meat eater don't worry they've got you covered. :) They serve salads, sandwiches, fresh juices, Vegan donuts, Dole whip and so much more... you will not be disappointed in the selection that is offered. I ordered the veggie sandwich which on vegan ciabatta bread as well as a soft serve half & half Dole whip and Oatly soft serve. The sandwich is delicious the veggies super fresh and the bread fresh and soft as well. The Dole Whip with the Oatly soft serve is so refreshing they come in 2 sizes small and large and is so worth it. The prices are fantastic and the portions sizes great. If you're ever in the Carmichael area I highly recommend you come and give Nature's Goodness and you are supporting local business. :)

    We stopped by for a quick lunch. We were immediately greeted by a nice lady at the counter. We asked about the vegan options and she was very helpful. She helped my daughters create a sandwich that they both enjoyed. The vegan "meats" were excellent. I enjoyed the "pastrami" sandwich. We liked the "mango tango" smoothie. Overall nice experience

    I finally got my strawberry #dolewhip fix at @naturesgoodnesscafe! I haven't had a strawberry one since last year at the state fair. SO GOOD! The @thebutchersson_official tofurkey sandwich was also delicious! They also have regular pineapple dole whip and vanilla and switch out flavors. And the owners are so friendly and nice! instagram: jax.vegan.eats

    Rainbow bagel sandwich. Yummy.
    Valerie S.

    This place is wonderful! Every food item, drink, and dessert we ordered this morning was absolutely delicious & the 2 people working (I think they might be the owners) we're both super sweet & allowed us to modify our order to have exactly what we wanted. The meal was sooo delicious. Very flavorful! My sister & I each ordered a rainbow bagel sandwich + strawberry mango smoothie. My sis also ordered a latte + a vegan donut. We devoured it all & will be back soon for more! :-)

    The menu on the wall doesn't reflect the vegan sandwich options but if you get the little square piece of paper to fill in your sandwich order-- surprise! They have vegan options.. along with donuts and dole whip-- all vegan. Located in a plaza where Marconi turns into Palm and intersects with Fair Oaks. The staff were helpful and super nice (offering dole whip samples) and excited about their vegan offerings.. When you walk in, it seems like a small place but there's more space around the corner. It's a Carmichael gem.

    Pastrami sandwich.

    I ordered a a vegan sandwich, they have non vegan items also! It was so delicious! The pastrami was tasty and the bread was light and fluffy. I will eat here again. The portions are huge!

    Attention: new vegan friendly cafe! I'm so glad I found this little local spot. They have lots of vegan options and watermelon dole whip!? The menu is a mix or sandwiches, breakfast items, cofeee, smoothies donuts - all with vegan options. Very friendly owner and excited to offer all these amazing options. I tried the build your own sandwich with the Butchers son vegan pastrami and it was so good! They toast the sando lightly and have lots of toppings. Did I mention good prices?! Can't wait to head back to try more!

    Vegan salami sandwich.

The consume is amazing, flavorful, & has pieces of meat. Steak plate- the steak was medium rare, little char grilling to it. Seasoned well & cooked nicely.

The flour tortillas were the perfect touch to a filling plate. Just the right amount of food There is minimal seating inside. The area was clean. There is a restroom inside as well.

The sandwiches are somewhat limited in terms of proteins. Chicken and turkey dominate the starting lineup with pastrami and roast beef are pinch hitters. Totally missing are the traditional deli standards such as salami, mortadella, ham, and capicola combination sandos. Despite what the website says, they do have fountain sodas. It is Pepsi centered but lacks Pepsi Zero (it does have Diet but not the DW's fav). The website says the Pure Leaf Tea is $2.75 but was billed at $4.00. Better Pastrami and salads would have made this a 5 rating rather than a 4. We will return but only for the bread and chicken/turkey.

We enjoyed our order aside from noticing that portions appeared to be smaller (see images of the fair oaks burger and carrot cake). During this visit we noticed that there was a discrepancy with the charges. We asked a server because our server was busy attending to other tables and we needed to pay. We were told that it had to do with an automatic "service charge" and the other was if you paid cash you get a dollar off? For example, the Lido Shuffle on the menu says $16.95 but on the receipt we were charged $17.46 and then the burger stated $12.95 but on the receipt it was $13.34. We just think that there can be better transparency as to why there is an upcharge on items. Or they can perhaps update the menu?? When we asked the server, it appeared as though she did not know truly know the answer. While we like the food here, despite the decrease in portions, it's important for customers to know what they are paying instead of being misled.

Feeling nostalgic, I recently decided to have lunch here. I asked for a Cougar with pastrami instead of turkey. "You want a number 26?" (Looks at menu) "Yes, with pastrami instead of turkey." "Number 26, right?" When I had walked in, I saw two girls cleaning. One of them had stopped to take my order. After taking my order, she continued to clean for exactly ten minutes before stopping, washing her hands, and beginning to prepare my sandwich. (I'm positive that it was exactly ten minutes before she even *started* to make my sandwich, because I get a text message the minute my card is charged, so it's easy to just look at the text, and see how much time has elapsed.) As she finished making my sandwich, another guest came in. After she placed her order, the second girl washed her hands, and both girls made her sandwich together. While I had waited nearly fifteen minutes for my sandwich, this girl waited for less than two. It was so odd. As I ate my sandwich, both girls behind the counter stared at me so hard that I seriously wondered if they had done something funky to my sandwich. So, all of that was very strange. But the sandwich was good. None of the ingredients were missing. The veggies were all in ridiculously tiny quantities in comparison to the super smearing of sauce, but, it was all there, and it tasted good. When it comes to sandwiches, in terms of the meat, you get what you pay for. Sandwich Spot uses cheaper meat than some fancier delis do, but they also use a larger quantity of it. So, if you would rather have a large amount of okay pastrami versus a medium amount of great pastrami, then, Sandwich Spot is the spot for you. If you're really into premium lunch meat, though, this isn't it. The pastrami tasted like it could have come from the fridge section at Winco or Walmart. Overall, for a cheaper/lower-end sandwich place, Sandwich Spot is still one of my favorites. I love their menu, and haven't found a sandwich quite like the Cougar anywhere else.

We paid over 38 dollars for 2 sandwiches, 2 small bags of chips and 2 small drinks. Sorry....too much money for what we received. I will likely not return to this location.
