just mediocre, 7/12/2010
Reviewer: a p c from Santa Barbara, CA
i really wanted to like this place! conveniently located, catered to all my changing diet needs through the years... but i can't! the long lines mean you have to stare at all their new-agey knick-knacks surrounded by either high-powered business people tapping their feet or creepy spacey latter day hippies (not the business's fault, i know). i'm not a fan of the 'union ale' ordering schema anyway (ie wait in line, THEN have your food delivered... do you tip? why, when you haven't even gotten your food yet? if you're gonna order at the counter why not pick up your own food while you're at it? can you ask the food deliverer for additional things?), but the kids they have manning the register ARE pretty friendly. ANYWAY the food has noooo flavor whatsoever. i think it's part of the 'we're healthy so we don't add any salt at all' school of thought, but everything is blaaaand. and adding sprouts to everything is passe now, right? a big flavorless mouthful of baby plants to drown out anything else flavorwise that isn't happening anyway? meh.

And I loved it. I got the chicken enchiladas and they were great. I traded the side salad for my girlfriend's chips and salsa because I don't eat lettuce, and everything was very tasty. I'll go back!

Reviewer: Christina from Santa Barbara, CA
i had the tabouli salad special today and loved it. the natural cafe is always very creative and inventive with their specials. it also is a great choice for vegetarians like myself. great, young, healthy staff, and amazing food. and to the people who say it is too bland--that's because our bodies have been used to too much salt for so long! they do not under-season, it's just a human evolution process. try cutting back on salts and come in again! its wonderful! :)
