The Natural Cafe

Best place ever!! Food was out of this workd good. The staff were amazing, and the restaurant was exceptionally clean. My Bestie and I drove 3.5 hours up the coast, and she Google vegitarian option in Santa Barbara, and the Natural Cafe came up. They have a great selection of vegan, vegitarian and animal protien meals. I would definitely venture back!

Had a quick stop for take-out lunch here, and it was good. The lentil soup was soothing, and it was portion with a big loaf of a fluffy bread. The vegan bean burrito was a bit interesting with the slices of cheese put on top, but it was good. Also a big portion, comes with house salad and a dressing of your choice. The peach smoothie was delicious.

I was pleasantly surprised about this nice cafe. The interior is extremely cozy and relaxing with such a natural vibes. It helped me to calm down my mind and relaxed, I ordered a fresh salad and a bowl plus a milk shake. The veggies and chicken was so fresh and delicious. Chocolate milk shake tastes really good. The staff is really friendly. This is my first time and would certainly come again and again. Highly recommended worth every penny.

Wow!!! Parking lot full = good sign. Relaxing atmosphere and hasty service. We barely waited 5 min to put in our order and got our food in less than 15 minutes. Delicious dinner was served to all three of us and we even had leftovers to take home. I was very impressed with this restaurant from start to finish. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food is really good here. The menus accommodates many appetites. Good vegetarian options. It great for groups and to bring kids. The prices are $$ but worth it. The parking is plenty and free. There is also plenty of seating, inside and outside. The service is friendly and prompt. The wait isn't long. It is also clean and modern. It is freeway close.

The food is always consistently great! If their soup of the day is pozole then you are in for a treat. Definitely get the garlic bread. The nachos are a huge portion and way more than simple chips and cheese. Servers are kind and easy to talk to. All the desserts are delicious especially the cheesecake. The patio is nice to sit on and there a lots of succulents around the restaurant to look at. A well kept up restaurant all-around. Just an F.Y.I. no pork or beef on the menu at all. In Santa Barbara it's the best quality mixed with affordability that you'll find. Don't miss this place.

Our friends took us here and it was a great place 😊. My hubby and I ordered the Salmon Special with a light teriyaki glaze served alongside brown rice and lightly steamed vegetable mix of carrots, zucchini, summer squash, broccoli, cauliflower and red onion. The meal was outstanding and the surroundings were relaxing♥️👍👍👍👍😋

Absolutely love the food here. It’s fresh and healthy. I’ve dined in once and taken to go another time. Both are great options if you’re looking for a quick, healthy meal. Wish I had a place like this close to my house!

Delicious Cabo fish tacos, lovely ambiance, would love to revisit! Wanted to try the tamales, but it looks like it was taken off the menu.

Excellent and healthy choices for lunch. The staff are friendly and helpful and they have free coffee refills!

Nice relaxed fast food style sit down. Order at counter and take number to table you choose. Good condiments available.

Service is simple, order at counter and carry drinks to, while they bring out prepared itema to your table when ready. Courteous, friendly, efficient and casual enough that both visitors & diners are left uninterrupted except when clearing the table allowing long stays ... nice food & refuge!

We ran to this place in pouring rain from the Hitchcock Cinema next door, and were delighted with our meals. My grilled salmon with stir-fried veggies (a special) was terrific, and my partner's veggie chili with cornbread was soul-soothingly delicious. A large serving of flourless chocolate cake topped off a perfect meal. Rain or shine, this is your go-to place after a movie!

Cannot say enough about how much I appreciate this Natural Cafe, and other locations. As you may know working on the road or even vacation it is incredibly difficult to eat and feel good afterwards physically and mentally. Let’s be honest, we all love fried chicken with lots of concern about cardiovascular within minutes after digesting. Never had a bad meal, sometimes I find myself eating here nearly every day. Personally a fan of the turkey chili, mt Fuji stir fry .

Awesome place with healthy food options. Please don’t go by the ratings on yelp! Hidden gem this one.

Not much of OLDE SB. Since the 90s, the food has remained pure, well portioned, without changes, and always feels warm and clean. It's worth stopping if you're a veggie on the road. Just off the freeway and walk up and sit down. Order ahead and hit the road again.

I went here for dinner. I ordered a turkey burger patty with lettuce, grilled onions, and cheese. I also ordered their cream of cauliflower soup. There was plenty of open seating, and the food runner brought both items within 15 minutes after ordering it. The turkey patty was cooked perfectly and tasted great. The cream of cauliflower soup was just so so. It was somewhat bland, in flavoring. Will visit again and try another soup of the day.

Food was a good but not exceptional. You could probably make something better at home but it’s a good option for a quick stop by on a trip

I love Natural Cafe and the selection they have for food. However, the prices are very high and if you have food allergies or are coming here specifically for a very healthy option then it probably isn't the best place. They don't have a lot of gluten free options. Still good food though.

Good shake, blueberry but salmon was under cooked and not great picture of it.

The food is alright. Way too overpriced for the portions. Also, the quality wasn’t the best. They claim to be “a health food cafe” but use seed oils. Staff was super nice though.
