This place is AMAZING! The food is a feast to the eyes and the palate, and the atmosphere was so relaxed it felt as if I had dropped by a friend's house for lunch in the garden. A true delight for those with a taste for gastronomic adventure.

The people are so loving! Their customer service is akin to going to a close friend's house for a meal. The food is fresh and tasty. This is a raw food restaurant but everything was paired perfectly with the right flavor profiles. I felt revitalized and my tastes buds were delighted by the blends of fresh herbs and nuts. The menu is different each time plus you get dessert and it's donation based so no one is turned away.

If you are anything like me you have wondered about this place for awhile. I ventured in with a couple friends for lunch last week and it was like stepping back (refreshingly) into my youth living in a teepee in the Santa Cruz Mountains and hanging out with the tribe in the alternative eateries in Felton and Boulder Creek. Very clean, very laid back, quiet with wonderful, plant-based delights. Where else but here can you get a 4 course meal for $15?Feels like a return to the light. Check it out.

Local, raw, wild and the cleanest food in the four corners, if not west of the Mississippi. If you have never experienced absolute, true food then your in luck. Turtle lake is my favorite restaurant as long as I have lived so far. Everyone in their lifetime should eat here.
Lovely place for a light lunch in a relaxing atmosphere. Really appreciate the raw, vegetarian food option in town. It’s a not for profit organization as well!

Vegetarian options: I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Nothing like it that I've found so far. Great people, food knowledge, food prep skills unmatched.
I did volunteer work here as this is a non profit organization, and I would like you to consider how many reviews this place has considering how long it has been here and how mainstream it is. It should have more reviews. They have been flagging negative reviews and to be blunt there is a lot of drug culture affiliated in my experience with the place. Low key don't eat the nori

Healthy raw vegan food! Hippie vibes. Food was good, but at $20 it’s pretty pricey for the quantity.
What an absolutely wonderful place. Creative healthy food and people. We will be back. Thank you for a delicious lunch!
