Reviews by the General Public
the specials are a delight
Reviewer: Christina

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! :)

my favorite place
Reviewer: Michele
from Santa Barbara
I have never heard anything bad about this place and it is no wonder. The food is healthy, fresh and reasonably priced. I would rather go here than a fancy expensive place any day - even if I am not paying. lol The ambiance is nothing special, but quality of the food is top notch (love the soups!). I also like the feeling that I am supporting small business and not some overrated chain restaurant.
The downtown location is conveniently located along State Street. Haven't been to any others.

Healthy Goes Good!
Reviewer: Sabrina
from Juneau, AK
This place is amazing. The atmosphere really sets the relaxation mood. I appreciate the fact that they can make healthy and wholesome food accomodating for those with food allergies, preferences, etc. Everything is served pretty quickly and is very delicious! Not to mention, great prices for the amount of food. The smoothies are a HIT!

Vegan Dishes, Friendly/Knowledable Staff, Outdoor Patio
Reviewer: A Teague
from Los Angeles, CA
Based on reviews, we tried the Natural Cafe on our recent getaway to Santa Barbara and had a pleasant experience. It was a relaxed cafe with friendly and knowledgable staff who knew my dietary restrictions as a Vegan without me having to explain. The Vegan burritio was very good and there is a nice outdoor seating area to enjoy State St.
Pros: Vegan Dishes, Good Food, Friendly & Knowledgable Staff, Outdoor Patio

Might be healthy, but not great taste
Reviewer: Tasha
from Santa Barbara, CA
This is a very cute little cafe and the atmosphere is very nice. I'd love to take pictures of the place. The service is pretty good as well. But the food is rather bland. My friend and I ordered the Hummus and Pita appetizer which was okay. The pita bread was fine, but that is the only hummus I've ever had that I didn't like. For the meal, I ordered the Mighty Marinera pasta dish, which came with a salad. My roommate said her meal was fairly good (the Pesto pasta), but I did not care for mine. First, there was very little sauce on the pasta at all, and the majority of it was very large chunks of tomatos. And I could barely taste the sauce. The greens in the salad were starting turn colors and did not look at all fresh, and the ranch dressing I ordered with it had absolutely no taste whatsoever.
I understand that this place is supposed to serve healthy food, but it shouldn't be advertised as tasty...

Great sandwich, lacking service
Reviewer: Bethany S.
from Templeton, CA
My husband and I wanted sandwiches and soup after walking around all day. I was pleased by the light, healthy menu and our food was tasty. The Moroccan soup special and the Local Favorite sandwich both had good flavor. However, the young lady who helped me at the counter was rude and talked to her co-worker the majority of the time I was ordering. She forgot to bring the salsa with our chips (never did get it...) and sneezed into her hand before bringing our food out. Good food, but the San Luis Obispo location is MUCH BETTER.
