This place was so good, just like I recall. I started coming here, to this location in 1998. I have always loved to come eat here. I had a great experience once again. We ordered the chicken fingers, fries and I got the curry bowl, hubby got the jalapeno burger. Everything was delicious and hearty. Fresh and hot! Also the lavender lemonade was SOOO good! The guy at the counter was so nice and patient, answering my plethora of questions. Also loved the ambiance, still. I always love to come here when I'm in town. Also we bought all 4 of the jerky and they were all yummy too! Thank you Native Foods! read more

So happy to find a Native Foods location out here! I've only been to the one in San Diego (now closed) so this was a happy find. My partner and I split a regular sized chicken tenders for an appetizer. He got the BBQ brisket burger with a side of lemon dill potato salad. I got the almost famous bowl which was chicken tenders on top of mashed potatoes with gravy, cheese and corn. On second thought, I should've got something else since we had chicken tenders for an appetizer but who doesn't love fried chicken. The chicken tenders had perfect breading and perfectly fried. The mashed potatoes got a little salty midway through. I had a bite of the BBQ burger and it was fantastic and so full of flavor. Order at the counter and sit at a table. I went at 3pm so it wasn't super busy. They brought the food out to my table along with cloth napkin-wrapped utensils. I wish there were more locations so I can come here more easily! read more

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! read more

This is my partner and I favorite place. The best customer service, they always go above and beyond!!! It's always a challenge to eat out since I'm gluten free and my partner is vegetarian so the fact that they cater to both of our needs makes it even better ! Misty, the owner, is an actual angel I've left my sunglasses and pin and she remembered and returned it to us months after. The ambiance is super clean, very LGBTQ friendly. If I could rate a 10 I would! read more

i reallllly wanted to love this place. PROS: parking was fairly easy and they have outdoor seating. the hot chicken sandwich was meh. the seasoned fries were too salty. overall i felt the food lacked a little bit of attention to detail + the server at register lacked warmth. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I have loved Native Foods for years!!!! Unfortunately, many of the locations near me closed over the years, and this one in Palm Springs is the only one I've eaten at in a long time! My husband and I spent a week in PS, and we went to Native a handful of times over the week. Everything was great, portions are generous, the menu is creative and delicious. Our last night in PS, we indulged and had the pumpkin cheesecake. It was SO good! Go here, and eat all the vegan things. The vegan Rueben is a must!! read more

My go to here is the buddha bowl. When you feel the need to clean up your diet a little, this is the place to go to and you always feel better after you've eaten here. The juices are also really tasty too. read more

Bad service and acting like very disrespectful they don't like kids they said we need to pay for the water when many restaurants give free water I will not wanted to come again read more

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. read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

10/10 across the board! My husband and I were in town for a concert for 3 nights. We literally came here every single day and sometimes twice a day. We tried lots of different options on the menu and everything was delicious. Special mention the cauliflower orange bowl and the taco salad. The mac and cheese is also so BOMB! The owner was so kind to us and remembered our name. We are coming back in June and can't wait to bring our son. :) read more

Stopped in while passing through town, looking for something fresh and plant-forward - and wow, did we find it! The owner was at the register and so kind. We ordered the Aztec salad with a few tweaks (no raisins, chipotle mayo dressing) and oh my gosh, it was incredible. And that adorable little vegan microgreen we found at the end? The perfect finishing touch. Can't wait to come back! read more

Probably one of the best burgers I've had in a while! We went here on a Sunday afternoon and there were a fair amount of people but no one was in line so our food came out quick. I ordered the Poppin Jalapeño Burger with a side of seasoned fries! The size of the hamburger was pretty good and it was filling also! The mixture of all the ingredients in the hamburger were very tasty and it had a nice kick to it from the Jalapeño's! The seasoned fries were also very tasty as well and had just the right amount of seasoning! I enjoyed the meal so much that I ordered a second one to take home read more

Had to stop by the last Native Foods left, especially since it's the OG. The mac and cheese was enjoyable. They seem to have changed the nachos, there didn't seem to be cheese on them. The service was good-- you order at the counter and they bring your order to you. I really enjoy their lavender lemonade and their bottomless refills. They have tables indoors and outdoors so plenty of space for all. read more

This place is wonderful! They have bowls, salads, burgers, sandwiches, wraps and even desserts. I'd recommend the orange cauliflower bowl or the bistro steak sandwich and follow it up with a peanut butter parfait! The staff is friendly and very helpful. It has plenty of seating indoors and out! Give it a try! read more

Native Foods is a diamond in the rough! While visiting the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, my wife and I spotted this location and headed straight over. We were thrilled to find it, as we thought the chain had disappeared after the San Diego location closed. The food was even better than I remembered!!! I only wish I'd had room to order more to go! We left incredibly full and we're already looking forward to our next visit. read more

We went there for the 2nd time, visiting from Vegas, the food was excellent both times. There was some kind of energy in the air outside of the place that I can't explain other than I just felt extremely relaxed & comfortable, might have been the weather but just about everyone was sitting outside dining so we sat inside although I wished we were outside. The guy who took our order was pretty cool. We will definitely go back if we are in town again. read more

We always make it a point to stop by Native Foods whenever we're in Palm Springs, and this time, I had the pleasure of bringing my mom along! We ordered two burgers and the orange cauliflower, and shared everything. We enjoyed it all so much that my mom even wanted to go back the next day. The burgers and mac and cheese are an absolute must-try! A big thank you to the owners for taking such great care of us. We truly appreciate you bringing delicious vegan options to dining out! read more

5 Stars - One of My Absolute Favorites in Palm Springs I've been coming to Native Foods for years, and it continues to be one of my favorite places to bring friends. The food is simply outstanding -- so flavorful and satisfying that you'd never guess it's meat-free. The textures, seasoning, and presentation are consistently on point. They've mastered the art of plant-based dining that feels indulgent without compromising on health. Their frescas are next-level. I'm personally hooked on the Watermelon Mint, but they offer a variety of fresh, vibrant flavors. Everything on the menu is thoughtfully crafted, and I've never been disappointed. The team here truly shines -- the staff are warm, welcoming, and always attentive. It's the kind of place where you feel like you're part of a community, not just a customer. As a former restaurant owner in Palm Springs myself (3.5 years strong before I made the tough decision to close), I can confidently say Native Foods stands in a class of its own. Alongside Chicken Ranch and Chef Tonya's Kitchen, it's one of only three genuinely healthy, scratch-made options in the area. Everyone else is running processed food out of a Sysco truck -- and I say that with experience. Huge gratitude to the Native Foods team for raising the bar. You've earned every rave review and more. Keep doing what you're doing -- Palm Springs needs you. - Bleu Byron Palm Springs, CA read more

We drive from Banning to eat at this location because the food is amazing, the owners are amazing and it's amazing value for portions you get., Service is always excellent and the ambience is super chill everytime. We come here when we're weary, happy, sad and everything inbetween. The baja tacos with fries are my favorite and the family usually gets the chicken avo and really good sandwiches ... We love Native Foods! read more

This place is like Sweetgreen but way better! Don't come for me, but Sweetgreen is boring and unpalatable despite the ability to customize your order. Native Foods is a much improved version even without customization. There is a huge menu so there's something for everyone. There are plenty of protein packed options too on the menu, but we opted for a lighter lunch this time. The two hot salad dishes I tried were great. It the perfect wholesome lunch-- full of flavor and warming spices. The sweet potato salad tasted like Christmas in my mouth, and the cauliflower shawarma blew my mind with its garlicky profile. I also tried the oatmeal crème pie which was huge and super indulgent. If I was local, I'd love to be back sometime to try some of the sandwiches. read more

Prior to visiting this restaurant, I contacted them on Instagram to ask if any of their food items contained nuts. After receiving no response on Instagram, I decided to call the restaurant to inquire about menu items with nuts. The employee who answered the phone was friendly and informed me that most of the restaurant's dishes are nut free except for the Buddha bowl which contains almonds but those could be removed. The employee ended our phone call by telling me to make sure to let the person at the counter know about hubby's nut allergy since they have a protocol in place. Upon arrive at Native Foods, hubby and I were warmly greeted by the restaurant employee. After hubby informed employee of his nut allergy, she took out a binder and as he asked questions about certain menu items, she was able to quickly telll him whether or not the item he wanted was safe for him to eat. As I looked around the restaurant, I liked how bright it was as well as there being ample seating inside outside of the restuarant. While looking at their digital menu board, I appreciated that although I'm not gluten free, I appreciated that gluten free menu options were clearly noted on digital menu. After getting confirmation that hubby food choices were safe, we ordered a regular order of chicken tenders with thousand island, ranch and chipotle sauces as an appetizer. For our main meals, I ordered gastropub burger with side of mac & cheese and hubby ordered BBQ brisket burger with side of seasoned fries. For dessert, I ordered and an oatmeal cream pie. Our food arrived quickly, was flavorful, and delicious. Hubby and I were especially impressed by their chicken tenders since they were crispy, flaky, and we unlike any other vegan tenders we've tasted (like Gardein.) The sauces that we ordered with our tenders were tasty and I was happy that thechipotle sauce wasn't too hot. My gastropub burger was fabulous and I especially liked the tomaot bacon spread that was on my burger while the mac n' cheese was cheesy but not overpowering in flavor. Hubby said his BBQ brisket burger had the perfect mix of BBQ sauce and tanginess by having coleslaw on the burger. After having the appetizer, our burgers, and sides, the oatmeal pie was the perfect way to end the meal since it was big enough to share and had big flavor. After having visited restaurant and having such a good restaurant dining exerience, hubby and I are already planning out next visit to Native Foods soon. read more
