"The Natural Cafe, Santa Barbara by Amanda Proudfit. A solid health food spot with three locations around Santa Barbara, The Natural offers a wide variety of menu items (plenty of vegetarian and vegan options) sure to please even the pickiest eater in your group. The vibe is casual and the service is fast. Some favorite menu items include the Nachos Grande, Spiritual Spinach Salad, KB’s Grilled Cheese, and S.B. Special Smoothie."
First, management, get Ashley off the register immediately. Really poor customer service with major attitude. Let’s fix that. Okay other than that, the ambiance is really nice and relaxed, and it was easy to find. Parking is difficult but that’s not their fault. The place seems generally clean and bussed. The food was tasty and good portions; a decent value and lots of vegan options with a lot of variety. With an improvement in customer service I would definitely be back!

The veggie tofu bowl was a delicious and healthy vegan option and very filling! Their outdoor seating is also the perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon outside.

Interesting place. Sadly, my veggie stir fry with tofu was terrible (could probably give 1 star), however my husband’s Hungry Planet vegan burger was amazing (worth 5 stars), so my rating today is unfortunately 3. Would come back for the burger!

Fantastic food and service. The staff were really kind and attentive. The food was very tasty. We ordered the Veggie Bowl and a side order of bread.

Great place! Always the perfect choice to have lunch! Good location, amazing salads (the old town with tofu is our favorite) and the desert (carrot cake yummy!), super friendly service. We’ll come back soon :)

Amazing place for a healthy meal. Food is always fresh and super tasty. Try the East Beach Salad with added chicken or the hummus platter - loved them both.

Certainly not the best Vegetarian/Vegan cusine I have ever tasted. Dishes lacked complexity but were somewhat satisfying. This place does have very helpful staff though.

Food is not bad, but it's not awesome as well. I got grilled taco and it had more of salad and some rice, the quality of which was mediocre, and it cost me $17. I don't know why that expensive for a basically salad. I guess we sometimes forget that 5-star means something out of the ordinary, not the usual quality that one would expect.
