    The entrance inside the building
    Jay J.

    When I saw Raw.....I got so excited! I try and eat raw most of the time about 4 to 5 days per week. and collard wraps is one of my favorites. When I arrived, I saw another Vegan eatery. I walked in, and looked at the menu, seeing how this is my last day here, I wanted to try them both. I decided to get the raw and eat it later. So here I am! It's just a small little place, nothing fancy, just come and order your food, you can eat in or take it to go. Susan was so sweet, we talked about this Collard wrap, I told her I make them too, but sometimes I just chop it all up, and put it in a bowl instead of trying to wrap it. Told her all the items I usually put in mine, and she said I was creative. I will update this once I eat the wrap! Update: I finally ate the wrap! Remember I said I make collard wraps! My collards are usually tuff. This collard was tender and fresh. (Even though I ate it almost 24 hrs later). With that being said you can get it the day before you go to work and it's still good! You already know I will be back on my next Fresno trip!

    I've come here a couple of times and this last time ordered the two entree special, groats and oats and a cinnamon roll. I really enjoy this place every time I go, but my partner is not a big fan. While I think this place is very healthy and true to its name with raw food, my partner who eats less vegan food thinks the flavors are a bit too strong/healthy tasting (if that's possible) and the portions smaller than what he's used to. For example, the "pizza" is in essence healthy toppings on some healthy cracker beds. I don't think this place is for everyone, but I appreciate the various ways in which this place tries to makes vegan food more accessible to people and stay creative in its offerings. I've been here a couple of times and have had people tell me about their meal plans and how much they appreciate them. Overall, this is a small vegan walk-up place to enjoy some solid vegan food and the owner is very kind and helpful as well.

    Food is always fresh, nutritious and delish! The owner Naomi is awesome as well, and is very passionate about providing healthy food for the community. Go support this lovely establishment!

    Every time I am on my eating good phase I come and visit them for fresh healthy and nourishing food. This is a great place to refresh your body mind and spirit. They have plenty of different menu items. From CBD coffee to a piece of cheese cake. Everything no regular processed sugar no junk only good natural ingredients. This is one of my favorite places to come. My body thanks me when I eat good. So this this I ordered something new. I got a verguer. It's a plant base burger with some spread and green as a wrap, it also had some avocado and some crunchy . It was very good. I got two slices of cheese one was grape and the other one was chocolate. They are very attentive and helpful. They always work on your order as soon as they can. And everything has been fresh. The ambience is casual and they get busy. They open from early morning 7:00 am to 3:00 pm and Saturdays from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm. Highly recommended.

    Such a DEAL!

    The ONLY place in the Central Valley where you will get ORGANIC, NON GMO, gluten/dairy/sugar/soy AND peanut FREE food! Some of the most nutritious food one can get, is RIGHT. HERE. And if you haven't been here YET, you better get a move on. . . Her lease is up, she's planning on retiring & her last day will be 5/31/26. BOO-HOO!!! Owner Naomi Hendrix was the FIRST to bring the BEST quality 'Whole Foods' plant based meals to the area! She is a 'GIFT' to the Central Valley for THESE LAST 19 YEARS! I met her for the first time when she had her food truck in front of the Kaiser Farmer's Market. There, I first tried her Kale Caesar Salad. . . that DRESSING! I could eat MOUNTAINS of kale with that dressing! It was like 'crack', I HAD to HAVE the recipe! Fortunately (for me) she freely shared her recipe at Whole Foods Market where she taught cooking classes. She even shared it on a local news station for HEAVEN'S SAKE! What Chef shares her recipes?! She just wants people informed, and is EVER teaching and generously sharing her knowledge. She will even share her experience staying at the True North Fasting Center! Currently, she has a cooking class every Thursday night. She also offers a Lunch Subscription, with delivery to YOUR DOOR/included in the price! HOLY COW! It's a total of 14 meals that equals to about $12 each/INCLUDING delivery! NO. WAY! Well, WAAAAY! ;D You just can't beat THAT with a stick! ORGANIC?!! Amazing! She even sells her various salad dressings also! I took my engineer-husband here, who NEVER showed a prior interest in nutrition. . . He picked up Dr. Michael Greger's book, 'How Not to Die' that was displayed on the counter. He could NOT put it down. . . WHUUT? So, of course we BOUGHT a copy so he could finish it. It was his turning point! Thank you, Chef Naomi! As a matter of fact, Chef Naomi was instrumental in actually HAVING Dr. Michael Greger come to Fresno City College to lecture. TWICE! Just GUESS who really, REALLY wanted to attend besides MOI? Yep. Previously apathetic hubby. Truly, Chef Naomi is an 'institution'. Her CONSISTENT zeal to teach and generously share her knowledge kept me wondering where the passion came from. . . I recently bought her digital book that she has available (which includes the famous Caesar Salad Dressing recipe) It is a good, almost 'slideshow' type of presentation on educating yourself about basic nutrition. It has info about juicing, fermenting, reading labels, types of oil, etc.. Then I read the dedication; "In memory of my son Ian Zachary Smith. In 2006 my 21 year old son died of complications with Celiacs Disease.This woke me up to understanding how food affects all of our bodies. . . " I was stunned. Now I knew where the drive came from, to help others as she does with such care. I have never heard her mention it. My FAVORITE meal of all time, ANYWHERE, ANY PLACE is the 'Hail to The Kale'! The warm white beans on top, go perfectly with it. It truly is my COMFORT food! It checks all the boxes of satisfaction for me. I also enjoy the brownie and coconut bites. The lemon bar is fantastic also, it has a nice 'zing' to it. Experience it while you can! :)

    My husband and I are so happy we found this gem in Fresno! We have recently changed our diets quite a bit and really do miss eating out. Luckily Raw Fresno is there for you when you feel like eating out but also want to continue to be healthy. Most, if not all of their products are organic and everything is raw. If you're new to this, like I was, that essentially means that the fruits and vegetables are not cooked. Once you see what's on the menu and how delicious the food is you're going to be amazed that it's not actually cooked. We have tried everything from the wraps, the salads, the pizza, the coffee, and even the desserts! Everything is so healthy yet filling. My absolute favorite items are the desserts because I just can't believe that they don't have any added sugars. Everything in them is created from fruits, vegetables, or nuts. We've tried several of the cheesecakes, but my absolute favorite is the tiramisu. It's a small little place, but still has quite a few tables inside. Every time I've gone there there are always people making friends with each other and chatting it up. You can tell the owner makes it a point to create a safe and welcoming environment for everybody. The owner is always there with a smile on and greeting all the customers as well as interacting. I cannot recommend this place enough.

    Lemon bars! Yummy!
    Laylita D.

    Always so welcoming and friendly. The restaurant is always clean and comfortable. We had the chile beans over basmati rice delicious, and we had the tacos. So good made fresh tortillas and all! Then dessert! Even took some to go! Thank you Chef Naomi and Raw Fresno for fantastic food and welcoming vibes!

    RawFresno is an absolute gem for anyone looking for delicious, wholesome vegan food. Every dish I've tried has been fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into their ingredients. The staff is just as amazing--friendly, knowledgeable, and always welcoming. Whether you're vegan or just curious about plant-based eating, RawFresno is a must-visit spot!

    Kale Cesar Salad
    Harut F.

    My wife and I have been to Raw Fresno a few times now and each time we say how simple, delicious, and filling the food is. Absolutely love the market wraps and kale cesar salad. The dressing to the salad is *chef's kiss*...I truly can put that dressing on ANYTHING, that's how much I enjoy it. I have never been disappointed with the food here and it's nice to have "feel good food" that doesn't make me feel guilty or terrible after. Very kind service and quiet ambience in the restaurant as well.

    Raw vegan book!

    Showed up to this raw vegan spot while on the road and it is amazing! I was greeted by Naomi and she was very polite and welcoming. They have (74) options and 5/74 are cooked and the rest is raw vegan. Highly recommend this place!

    Beans and greens

    Naomi is a knowledgeable chef on all things raw and plant based. I enjoy their advice and encouragement to eat healthier. They also have a Pac-Man arcade lol. I highly recommend.

The food as always is amazing and filling. I had the pita with mushrooms this time and the jalapeño garlic hummus. It is a 9 out of 10. Pita chips of course is a must and the brownie was a special add on. Centered by the Court house and the main office buildings. They always have christian music playing and I love that!!!

They also have 2nd location in North Fresno on Palm. This location is a bit smaller than their Palm location they both have an indoor and outdoor seating. Yesterday I had HR craving and went to their direct website to order for delivery since I have two littles who were taking their nap. Sadly, they didn't deliver to my area but thankfully found them on GrubHub!!! Their prices of course were slightly higher than ordering directly too them but it was all worth it!!!! I ordered my usual bowl with couscous and spring mix. My two proteins: lemon chicken and falafel. I added so much more sides than I normally do and asked for the dressing to be on the side since it was for delivery I didn't want to food to be all mushy. I also added their pita chip and hummus (5 options) on the side. Everything was estimated to arrive 45mins -1hour. Thankfully it came sooner literally 30mins from ordering it was at my door step! Everything was packed neatly, I had asked for utensils in my order however it did not come with it, but that's okay thankfully I was home so that was no issue. My order was correct. Large portions and had so much flavor!!! HR literally has the most delicious and fresh ingredients. Hands down the best pita chips, fried fresh crunchy, and it's just the most delicious tasting pita chip ever. Along with their pita chip they also serve the most amazing sweet potato fries all to die for! They have so many sauces and hummus to choose from the bowls are packed more than enough for 2 serving and you get the fullness filling without feeling icky since the ingredients pretty healthy. The service is always amazing when I do visit. Chloe, the owner is usually there and she's just the nicest person with the most biggest beautiful smile. Highly recommend this business if you've never tried... what are you waiting for!?! Tip: With this location downtown you can park at the parking garage which is continently close to this location and get your parking ticket validated. They also close earlier than the Palm location.

However, it is definitely worth it! For a while now I have been wanting to try this place and finally for around to it. The staff was great very kind and friendly as soon as we walked in. Our waitress was amazing, she was always checking up on us, making sure we had everything we needed it and that we were comfortable. I ordered the Fried Chicken Biscuit with Tater tots and for my drink I ordered the OG Lemonade. Starting with the sandwich, the chicken was nice and juicy, very crunchy as well. The flavor of the chicken was very good as well. The buscuit added that nice hint of sweetness that just tied the whole thing together. The tater tots were definitely crunchy, which I loved. They give you a very well serving of tater tots. I did not end up finishing mine, but they had great taste and texture. The lemonade was very refreshing, and it just hit that spot so well. It was appealing to the eye and tasted like freshly squeezed lemonade. Overall experience was 10/10, I would come back. The place gives off vintage coffee shop vibes even though it is not a coffee shop. Seating is definitely very limited inside. However, they do have outdoor tables with umbrellas which is a nice touch. Price-wise I would say it is a bit pricier compared to other similar restaurants I have visited. The total came out to $45 for two plates of the chicken biscuit and two lemonades.

But while the food was delicious as usual, everything else was surprisingly mediocre. Despite not being busy when we arrived, we had to wait over an hour for our food and watched while other couples received theirs and ate before us, despite coming in 15-20 minutes later than us. And even though it all tasted great, my food was cold, as if it had been sitting for a while. We were told a couple of large to-go orders came in that disrupted the timing of our food, but in reality, it seems like our order got lost in the mix. It finally came 70 minutes after we arrived, and I was surprised that when my partner asked for a refill of their tea (which they naturally finished well before our food came), they charged them for a second drink and didn't even offer to comp the refill for the long delay. I don't expect freebies when I go out, but it just seemed like we were more of an inconvenience to them than anything. It's unfortunate because their food is always great and I want to see them continue to succeed, especially during this difficult time with road construction outside. But this was a pretty frustrating experience, and will unfortunately make me hesitant to dine-in again in the near future.
