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

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. 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

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

The BBQ brisket burger with seasoned fries was better than a "real" burger from any place in town! Large serving size for a fair price! I'll be thinking about this burger until next time service is attentive and helpful. We've enjoyed Native Foods for many years! 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

Love this place! Ever is super fresh and tasty. I could eat here several times a week. Took my meat eating mom and she loved the crispy "chicken" in her salad. Excellent service and a fun array of snacks, drinks and desserts too 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

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

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. read more

This is a hard review for me to make I don't like to give a bad review I want to say that the food is good, quality was good it was attractive had bright colors I didn't know what everything was but it tasted good really fills you up. Where I had an issue I would have to say is the Service I came here twice this week , once on a Monday and Mondays salad was so good I went back Tuesday to order it again on Monday, I ordered this chopped salad and it was fantastic, not to mention, it had a really nice cleansing effect on me later lol, so I went back Tuesday. This place is across town. It's not in my backyard. I went in a man that was there the day before helped me. I think he was the manager or maybe the owner the place is dead even when I was there Monday at lunchtime there was one person eating and that was it. I went back Tuesday at lunchtime one person eating nobody else 10 tables. one guy having lunch so I walk up to the counter the counter person was pleasant dress nice clean, nice smile I said I was here yesterday he saw me I said I had that chop salad it was fantastic I want to order it again but I don't see it all of a sudden he says yeah we took that off the menu this morning we're going to take it off for the summer and will put it back up at the end of summer I'm like you're kidding I drove all the way over here for that salad was so good.... so I'm looking at the menu and there's a lot of different things and I'm like well what's good what's like it....he says it's one of a kind nothings really like it that's a bad answer I say what about that Buddha bowl is that good as well? He says I don't give my opinion I don't know you..... I looked at him I said dude I mean this is your business for god sake's sell me something please sell me, tell me somethings wonderful he did not wanna engage in any kind of conversation I'm there I am your audience I said to him sir do your job tell me something is great I'm a nice looking guy with a smile I'm overweight so I obviously like to eat tell me the desserts are good they're all freshly made give me something, one guy eating in the corner 10 Empty tables. show me some love for God sakes I don't mind paying $18 for a box of food but show me some love show me you care that I'm here or say welcome back I saw you yesterday something anything please I'm begging you. now I got the food I took it home it was good I'm gonna put the description in this review , I would plan to make this a go to place once a week maybe three times a month I'm in Palm Springs there's an awful lot of good places but if they don't have soul I don't want to go I don't wanna waste my money in a place that doesn't seem care if I'm there maybe you could sayI hope to see you again thank you for coming but no nothing and it wasn't much better the day before the lady took my order she walked into the back where the kitchen is and she never came back until the food was ready and then she brought it to me nobody is in the restaurant make some chitchat eye Contact , a smile..... I also noticed that they don't seem to respond to any of these reviews and they have a Lotta reviews for the last few years but it seems that they don't look at them or they don't care... 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

Bring your omnivore friends! All of the food is amazing. If they're skeptical, I would recommend to be buffalo twister wrap. This is the original native foods location. The food is incredible, the service is excellent, and the owners (who are local) are amazing. This location and only one other location (Chicago) are still in business. The food is always good. There are classics on the menu as well as some new items. Always upgrade for the sweet potato fries; they are totally worth it. Today I got the buffalo twister wrap. Excellent as always! Really everything taste great. There is one item on the menu. I have not yet tried the Bahn mi bowl. I will get that next. 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

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

I have been a loyal customer of Native Foods for quite some time. I work as a nurse in the area, and this location has been one of my regular lunch spots because I enjoy the food and convenience. Unfortunately, my most recent experience was extremely disappointing. I placed my order over the phone because the ordering system was down. Since I had a $10 reward on my account, I planned to let the staff know when I arrived to pick up my order. When I got there, I informed Sean that I wanted to use my $10 reward. He told me I couldn't because of their new system and that I should have mentioned it when I placed the order over the phone. At no point during the phone call was I told that rewards had to be applied before the order was entered. Had someone explained that, I would have gladly mentioned it. What upset me most wasn't the policy--it was Sean's attitude. Rather than trying to help or offering any solution, he was dismissive and rude. As a customer, I felt like my concern didn't matter. Good customer service means explaining policies respectfully and looking for ways to help, especially when the customer had no way of knowing about a new procedure. As someone who works in healthcare, I understand how stressful busy days can be, and I always try to treat people with kindness and respect. That's why this interaction was so disappointing. I left without my order because of how I was treated, not because of the $10 reward. I hope management reviews how situations like this are handled. A little communication and courtesy would have made all the difference. read more

Always a great meal here. I have been coming to this restaurant since my mom moved here in the 90s. The people are always nice and service is friendly and prompt. The seating spaces, both inside and outside, are clean and comfortable. I am not vegan, but appreciate the healthy, tasty choices available here. 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.

Give it a try! 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

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

Never had a single bad experience at this place. Best quality food and friendly service.

Very quick service and TASTY food. Bright inside space and plenty of outdoor seating as well. The Soul Bowl has a breaded plant-based breaded chicken that is stellar. Their potato salad was also great and their Watermelon-agave-mint beverage was a health-nut's delight! 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!

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

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

I'm so happy this place was kept alive by the now owning employees after the previous owner filed bankruptcy. They've kept all the classic menu items I love that made this my favorite restaurant. My old location used disposable everything, but here they are using actual dishes and silverware, which is more sustainable in addition to being more pleasant to eat with. The staff is very friendly. Lots of patio seating. Well worth the drive from LA. 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

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
