After doing a couple of tours at the Sanctuary we had lunch at the Angel Village Cafe. The salad and dressings were amazing, the stir fry and soup were delicious (buffet set up) and the view from the patio was fantastic. We are going back tomorrow for lunch since their menu changes but even if it didn't we'd go back. So good!!

You do not have to be visiting Best Friends in order to have lunch at the Angel Village cafe. The buffet style meal is only $5 and everything is vegan. I thought everything was decently flavored and the views can't be beat! Definitely a must when visiting the Kanab area!

Such a cool place! The animal sanctuary itself is so unique and amazing, go schedule a tour or a volunteer session. This cafe is a great deal, amazing food, and a great purpose as it is a nonprofit. It was very busy, we attended for Saturday lunch! Workers,volunteers, and visitors were there! The buffet has trays to stay and eat or boxes to build and go. There were gluten free options, and then all food was vegetarian and vegan! We had tamales, pasta salad, taco soup, chicken salad pita sandwiches, salad, refried beans, broccoli, and a pb&j dessert bar. Super yummy! Would be back again! Even though it was busy the wait wasn’t too bad, and getting our food was really easy!

Angel Village Cafe is awesome! Not only do they offer creative, delicious, and nutritious vegan food every day of the week, it costs only $5 for the all-you-can-eat buffet!! You seriously can't find a better deal anywhere. We dined there three times while staying and volunteering at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, and we were impressed by how delicious and different the food was each time we ate there. There was always a large salad bar with rotating toppings, some of which were so unique that I couldn't resist overflowing my salad plate with goodies such as pumpkin seeds, vegan cheese, vegan bacon bits, and multiple dressing choices. There was also a soup and dessert choice each day, both of which were wonderful.The main choices varied by day and included cauliflower ceviche, hummus vegetable wraps, Southwestern quinoa salad, a Thai peanut sweet potato dish, kale salad, tofu fried rice, vegan spring rolls, and on and on. The items were vegetable forward yet still filling and hearty. They also have a coffee bar with surprisingly delicious coffee and multiple non-dairy milks to choose from.And I haven't even mentioned the incredible view! There is a large indoor dining room, but if the weather is nice, the outdoor patio can't be beat. You get a spectacular, panoramic view of the canyon below, with its gorgeous red rocks below a vast, blue sky.The employees are very friendly and kind. On Thursdays, one of the Best Friends founders holds a discussion (called Thursday Lunch Stories) where a representative from each animal area gets to give a fun and interesting update about the animals in their care. All money from the cafe goes toward Best Friends Animal Society's mission to Save Them All. That means working to a future in which no cat or dog in a shelter is euthanized due to lack of space.I love this place and their mission, and I can't wait to come back and have another great meal here.
Open for lunch everyday 11:30am - 1pm.$5 vegan lunch buffet with a million $ view.Variety of dessert options, soup rotations, and fresh baked bread.Menu changes daily so check the website before your visit. The salad bar is unrivaled in the area and the staff is great. If you have any dietary questions or concerns, you can just call ahead and they will do their best to accommodate.Free coffee available from 7:30am-2pm, so even if you're not going for lunch I would encourage everyone visiting the Sanctuary to at least go and see the view from the patio. It is quite dramatic.

We went when they served TVP tacos. They were yummy, and salad options were plentiful as well. They even have a dessert! They could honestly charge more for their meal, and I'd still think it was worth it. Overall, this place is full of love, good people, cute animals, and awesome views. No complaints here!

I love everything about this place!! 100% vegan so yay for us plant eaters! And the meals are always familiar/inviting to non-vegans who are plant curious, so it's a great way to invite non-vegan friends to share a meal. Best view from a restaurant I've ever experienced, so yay for atmosphere. And the staff are SO nice - from offering to bring my dog a bowl of water, to holding him while I got my meal the one time I've been there w/o my husband, to getting me some ice when I had a minor injury, I couldn't ask for more. And I'm always curious about poor reviews, so I skimmed the handful that aren't 4 and 5... what can I say - my $5 meal is a bargain, I've always LOVED at least one thing on the menu, and the stuff I don't love, so be it! It was a $5 meal. They're busy and serve a lot of people, so what do we expect? They aren't going after a Michelin star! THey're making it easy for volunteers and staff to have a healthy meal and inviting guests to try vegan food. It's brilliant, I love it here, and even plan my travels around the chance to come in for a meal. Thank you best friends for being awesome!
