Just come here for lunch if you're held captive in the building. The staff is nice, and the food is decent. I've only ever had salads and sandwiches here.

This morning I called in to the Cerritos, CA Nature's Table Café to place a breakfast sandwich order and no one would answer the phone it took about 5 minutes for someone to finally answer the phone and take my order down, which was a breakfast sandwich, beacon, egg, and cheese on a English muffin. When I arrived to pick up my sandwich, which was right after I called I paid for my food I start to eat it and it tastes like a dirty , filthy old cloth, at first I didn't think anything of it, as I eat half of the sandwich I'm starting to get nauseated I open the sandwich and I see what looks like dirty water in the middle of the eggs. I was so disgusted I almost threw up but I held my self from doing that since I was at my working desk. I need my money back asap! This is my 2nd time wasting my money last time they gave me stiff beacon that taste like a day old, this is horrendous! I cant even believe this company is still in business.

This place would get a 1 from me if it wasn't for Sam and one of the cooks having amazing personalities! But other then that this place is horrible food is a 3 even at times a 2 ,very stingy with portions and expensive pricing I bought toast, bacon and a drink for 7 . The mother and daughter charges you extra for every thing.

This review is based solely on the catering we had delivered at work. Terrible! The "burritos" were 99% rice with a small amount of beans added. I think there was cheese too? Hard to tell because if it was there the huge amount of rice definitely covered up any other flavor. The food was lukewarm when we got it so on top of the large amount of rice, I was now treated to gummy lukewarm rice. I tried the veggie burrito which was named extremely misleading. Typically when I get a veggie burrito I expect it to contain some veggies...nope not the case. To be fair it was wrapped in a green tortilla so maybe that's where the veggies were. I know times are tough but I don't think throwing in some grilled onions or peppers would have broke the bank. The only thing stopping me from giving them one star was the pasta salad. It was not bad. An interesting choice to pair with burritos but that was probably what my company ordered. It had some good flavor and the black pepper was a nice addition.

I ate at the Nature's Table in Irvine. I was not impressed. I had the Turkey Pesto Panini - YUCK! There is something about processed meats in my sandwich! Turkey was ooooh so processed it grossed me out and gave me a tummy ache! I will not eat there again.

This establishment is in our corporate building so does not get any other action. That being said, they always serve good food fast enough for all of us to get to work. Breakfast tacos are great and staff is always very friendly.

Too expensive

I love the idea of "cafeterias," but Nature's Table does not even come close to my perfect cafeteria experience. Come at the wrong time (9-10AM and 1130-1PM) and expect to wait FOREVER for your expensive breakfast wrap or burger combo. Granted the food can be fresh at times. AT TIMES being the keyword here. If you're in between breaks or a quick lunch call in your order. Sometimes it'll be done by the time you get there. The people who work there are nice, but that's probably the highlight of it. If you want to pay $$$$ for mediocre fast food be my guest.
The best chicken tender combo this side of the 91 freeway. Plus Sam the owner is really nice to me :-)

I come here once or twice a month when we have our monthly meeting at our corporate office. service is ok. food is nothing special. I had their smoothies a few times and they didn't taste good at all. very watered down.

The breakfast tacos are good. Once ordered fench toast and tell me why was it bitter? Gross! They charge you for every-little-thing! You want a packet of dressing, $.50. Once I asked for lettuce and tomato, charged me $1.25! Ridiculous. The only reason people really come here is for convenience cause the food is truly mediocre. But honeslty if you're gonna charge over 7 bucks for a quesadilla, fries, and a drink, you might as well go to a restuarant! You can get more for your money elsewhere and it'll probably taste way better too!

Embarrassingly, I still eat here even though they have a B right now because I work upstairs and hardly ever leave for lunch. But usually it's just oatmeal so that's ok right? They are able to keep friendly since they see the same people day in and day out two, three times a day - breakfast, lunch, snack... They usually offer the same specials every week so if you have a favorite it won't be long before you get to have it again. Hard to find anything overly healthy considering it's call Nature's table because if you check out the calorie count on the website, they are usually pretty loaded. Most everything is pre-prepared (frozen lasagna, frozen chicken, Costco pastries) so it's really fast food if you think about it. But they do have pretty great wraps and I'm avoiding their breakfast like the plague because I love breakfast so much I don't want to get addicted to fattening breakfast burritos.
Doesn’t exist. So disappointing.
