My wife and I love naked cafe! The coffees are huge and delicious. The food is incredible and the menu has all the nutritional information which is great to see at a restaurant. 5/5 stars!

Came on a weekday midmorning. The parking lot had several spaces available, but by the time I left, people were fighting to find a spot to park.Service - I totally understand all of the negative reviews regarding service. The front of house staff was very “meh.” I walked in and it wasn’t clear whether you seat yourself and wait for a server, or go up to the counter, order and then sit. The lady behind the counter stood there watching me and sipping her drink. She didn’t greet me or anything. She let me walk up to the counter and ask how things work instead of saying hi and telling me to sit anywhere. Weird vibes.Food - I ordered hot tea and the pink lotus (lemonade and raspberry) mimosa. Both were good. I also got the Good Karma entree, but swapped out the egg whites for fried eggs and added steak medallions. The steak was chopped up in cubes, not medallions. There was ZERO flavor on this plate. And I mean zero. When they said they were the naked cafe, they absolutely meant it. I thought that meant clean ingredients/organic… not flavorless and bland. I was disappointed. You can still serve clean, healthy food that’s flavorful. Thankfully, they had salt/pepper and hot sauces at the table. The tapatio was almost a year past the expiration date on the bottle, lol.Atmosphere - Very casual cafe. The bathroom was rundown and gross. Very unkept and could use a serious makeover. Kinda grossed out thinking this is the bathroom staff uses while they’re cooking and serving customers.

Wonderful little place! We were visiting from Colorado Springs for Christmas and we had coffee and lunch here. The staff was very friendly and the food and drinks were very good. We would highly recommend this place.

Okay so the staff was amazing so I’ll give them that- but what the heck was up with the gf pancakes?! We were so disappointed, this must have been a fluke. I was so excited that they had GF options - but alas, they do NOT have any bread substitutes so I was unable to order what I actually wanted. Anywho- they food is generally fresh and healthy (and usually tasty)- but something was wayyy off with the buckwheat GF batter, it literally must have gone bad because the pancakes tasted SO bitter, even the heaps of fruit and goodies mixed in couldn’t mask it. Luckily the waiter was super cool about replacing the two plates and the regular gluten-full batter was on point. Idk perhaps keep the ingredients refrigerated? Also, the coffee creators may want to taste their concoctions, as two out of our 3 beverages was strange to say the least. Whatever the blue thing was, it was gorgeous, but definitely not very yummy. ??‍♀️

Dietary restrictions: Please carry some gf bread so that folks can get some of the amazing dishes that feature toast!

Owner should look into why they don't answer their phone and close early. I just drove 15 miles, called them 15x WHILE they're open trying to put an order in, I get there and they say "oh sorry we're closed at 2pm today." Change your hours phone so ppl don't waste their gas time and energy.

Online it says that they close at 2:30. I came in at 1:30 and they told me that they were already closing down and that we couldn’t sit inside nor outside even though they close until 2 pm. I ordered the coffee which was mediocre. Couldn’t even drink it. I ordered the wok with chicken which they said like full blown oil and and I ordered the ginger tacos which came with 6 small squares of chicken total and the presentation was awful. Really sad because I was genuinely excited to try this place, but the service and the food speak for itself

I stopped in just to use the bathroom so I ordered some rosemary potatoes and I was surprised how tasty it was. There was scallions and tomatoes and crusty bits. I was so pleasantly surprised.It was like $4 and it took like 5 mins.Woman at front was nice.Will go back to check out the rest.

I went in extremely hungry, and left satisfied! They have so many great vegan options that I ended up having 2 burritos, potatoes, beans, and a hot chocolate. I loved sitting by the window and sipping my drink. The service was really good, my waitress was very attentive and I felt that the food was very

Definitely a place to try if you are a foodie. We were seated right away and ordered our meals. The gentleman in the front said they did not have a certain item for one of their plates we requested but offered to substitute the item or suggested another dish from their menu. I like honesty and this made me like them even more. This is a must try spot if you are a foodie.

I tried this eatery because of an invitation. I was greatly disappointed. The food is on par with Denny’s, the parking is terrible and the chairs are designed to make you not want to sit for very long. The French toast was so dry you had to drink water to choke it down. My breakfast showed up ice cold like it was in the fridge. I sent it back and they put it in the microwave.Atmosphere is like tailgating in an active parking lot complete with exhaust fumes, car horns and road rages.

Wonderful way to start the day !!Rueben and Mayri were my servers who were simply fantastic.
