2 visits in 1 week says we enjoyed the food & service. I was hoping it would be as good as the one I previously frequented in Westlake & Newbury park - it did not disappoint 🏆

2nd time this week coming here because the food just taste so fresh and good. Love the chips and salsa as well, it's a killer combo with the sandwiches. Please try this place out over all the fast food , much more healthier for you and you will love it! The smell from outside is what got me.

The food was excellent I normally don't eat fresh or healthy food but the food here is great. They serve a lot and it is filling. The atmosphere is great and the service is good.

Chicken Cesar salad was delicious

Phenomenal customer service, nice clean casual surroundings, and delicious vegan options. Would absolutely eat there again and again.

The salads are good, nothing to write home about. This place lacks attention to details, for example, how about toasting the bread for the sandwiches. No one wants a dry wheat bread sandwich, I’m sure they’d prefer it toasted or grilled. How about offering a gluten free bread option (I mean the gluten free bread is stored in the freezer). The details matter. It is what customers remember. It's not that difficult to be more inclusive, especially in a town like Santa Maria where good cusine is at a huge deficit. Its 2025 and healthy restaurants should be able to offer gluten free options that are not salads or wraps, items that are naturally gluten free are a lack of effort and complacency at this point. I just don’t understand restaurant owners here. When you cook for customers you should be passionate about what you’re cooking for them and educate your staff on how to offer and make the best food. Go to Bella Forno’s, that owner studied how to make the best pizza and pasta and it shows in his food, customer service and presentation. So far that owner is the standard every restaurant owner should take notes and do better here. It’s Italian cuisine with gluten free pizza, pasta & desserts.

Delicious meal made with fresh ingredients. This was the perfect stop after a workout and having to run errands after. The food is seasoned well and you feel clean after.
Manager is amazing, he is super friendly and catered to us! The lady with the glasses was very helpful as well. The food put the cherry on top, I love that you guys offer vegan options too. Best of both worlds when going here. I will say the booths are a little uncomfortable but the hospitality makes up for it! Love coming here!
Parking: A lot of shared parking but there’s always a spot!

Edit: the company is flat out lying - I did not finish the whole bowl or tell anyone I finished the whole bowl. I told them I found MULTIPLE pieces of plastic. The company is lying... even worse ... the company is also stating I told them I denied compensation, I did not. The owner told me to mention his name next time I come in - I have no plans in doing this.
Flat out lying is horrible. I'd never suggest going here.
Second time to Natural Cafe and most likely last. Went in for a half soup and sandwich, cream tomato soup had little pieces of plastic in it. I immediately called the restaurant that transferred me to management that asked to see the photos. They responded via email that it was basil stems. I'm 100% sure it is not basil stems but.... The manager was kind on the phone and prompt, but due to admitting he would investigate after the lunch rush I don't think he would admit he went through service giving out the plastic soup. Unfortunate! I just got a job next door and was looking forward to regular to go orders.
1 star as even the half sandwich I got was sparse of ingredients and the sprouts were removed off. The turkey provided didn't cover the entire bread so it was a dense bite most times.

Sterile atmosphere The interior needs some TLC. The vibe is more fast food Nothing like the cozy eclectic vibe of the original on State Street in SB Food was fresh and pretty good though.
The first time I tried one of the bowls and it was terrible. The chicken was dry and it had a bunch of spinach and a little guac a few cherry tomatoes and pumpkin seeds. No flavor. So disappointing.
