I don’t normally eat vegan. I ordered a burger and it was delicious. The patty sides were crispy. The flavor was delightful. Everything was so fresh. I came in with a gift certificate, not knowing that the place had changed ownership. The new owner was so gracious to accept the certificate I had. I don’t get in this area often, but when I do, I will be sure to come here again. I would recommend Nectar to anyone whether you’re vegan or not.

My husband and I found this cute café on our way home to Santa Cruz and Im so glad we did. The food was healthy and delicious! We both had the BLTA and it was so good. And the cookies were great too. Nectar Cafe' will be our go to restaurant on our visits to Auburn.

I’ve been to Nectar many times since becoming vegan six years ago. The atmosphere is cozy. The cooks and servers are talented and friendly. And truly, everything I’ve ever had there is delicious. They make the best guacamole, the daily soup offering is always spot on. I usually get the Tempeh Reuben ( it really does taste a lot like the other kind!), but a few days ago I tried their seasonal Orchard Burger. Their house-made vegan patty is awesome. What stole the show was sautéed apples and apple butter! A bit of vegan cheese, sauce and fresh lettuce and tomatoes. It was just simply amazing. I’m going back before Fall ends to have it again. It’s a very happy place😁

We went here with adults and kids. We all loved the food. Our favorites were the tacos (their mushroom, cauliflower, and special- all were 10/10). We also loved the taco salad and kids burrito. Their vegan quesadilla was made with a creamy cashew-based cheese spread, which was tastier when it cooled down.
We also enjoyed a delicious chocolate chip cookie. We can’t wait to come back for more!

This place just keeps getting better over the years.
These days I’m getting the blackberry tinga tacos and LOVING them.
Also, the brownies are awesome. Chocolate mousse, too!

The most amazing vegan chocolate shake I’ve ever had. I’ll be dreaming about this! And the chocolate pudding we had to come back and eat again for my kids. I’ve also had the nachos which were incredible. Not many places can do vegan cheese right and they’ve figured it out. We will be coming back next time we drive through. Second time here and can’t wait to try more on the menu our next time.

Went there for the first time last week. Amazing! Everything had so much flavor we can't wait to go back. Vegetarian/vegan options were wonderful. Veggie burger was great. The portabella tacos were incredible! Shake was thick and delish. Love it!

May 6, 2025 This is review number, try fifty two for this Nectar Cafe! Very healthy place! The adult size burrito wrap is seventeen dollar and sixteen cents with tax! Child size rice and beans is seven dollar and fifty two cents with tax! His burrito wrap looked really huge to me, but then again, I always try when they let me, order from Pediatric/Child menu! The lady helped us named Myra, short brown hair! For water, there is an area with cups, one is able to pour their own water! As say, this is a healthy place! No dreaded fries, no dreaded sodas! This Local Person will recommend Nectar Cafe!
Been frequenting Nectar for a decade and recommend it highly! The menu has something for everyone, even kiddos. The restaurant itself is cozy, with seating inside as well as outside, right in a great part of downtown Auburn.
We love the burgers, both the homemade patty and the Beyond version, their AMAZING wedge salad, the spicy buffalo cauliflower tacos, the tempeh Reuben, the sourdough BLT, their cookies. Plus, they have any extensive drink selection with everything from Olipop to local hard kombucha. The staff is also super nice. #Veganuary

The Nectar Cafe serves chef inspired salads, wraps, sandwiches, smoothies and veggie burgers. They make eating healthy in a fast casual atmosphere possible. The salads are generously proportioned and prepared to perfection. The taco salad ($15) is one of my favorites. It's a delicious mixture of greens, avocado, tomato, black beans, vegan chorizo, salsa, Jack/cheddar cheese mixture, tossed in a tangy cilantro lime vinaigrette, chipotle sauce drizzle and corn chips. The employees are friendly and helpful in recommending something you might enjoy. The downtown Auburn area is a great date spot. There are plenty of stores to explore while getting to know each other better. I would recommend the business have their sign repainted, since it's quite faded. IG: SACRAMENTOHONEY
