Great Place to shop and eat!

We traveled to Palm Springs for a meeting and spent 4 days there. We went out of our way 4 separate times to eat at the small cafe inside the store and to shop. The menu is varied and is mostly Vegan. The owner had a very good knowledge of the health benefits of different foods and was touting his use of turmeric in one of there many fresh juices the make the first time we visited. All of the food is organic in the cafe!

Nice Place in Palm Springs

Not easy to find vegan food in Palm Springs. We had breakfast here - I had a nice tofu scrambler. The place is friendly and we will back on our next Palm Springs visit. Thanks happy cow.

Updated from previous review on Tuesday December 24, 2013: Came again this year for take out lunch and found that they use bread with honey, so I could not have any of their sandwiches but I did find another option. Next time we will check the items before we leave the store.

Pros: Great for breakfast

Cons: Limited vegan options

A welcoming oasis in Palm Springs

A welcoming oasis in Palm Springs. Not so much a cafe as a few tables in a health food shop, even so, there is a wide range of food on offer, both to eat in and take away. However, vegans be warned, the staff do not all know what veganism means. The first time we ate there we were assured both by the person taking our order and also the cook that the burgers we ordered were vegan; the second time we were told that the bread for them had honey in. Having managed to find vegan food throughout the US, including the deep south, it was somewhat disappointing to have been fed non-vegan food in a health shop.

Pros: Friendly, Quick Service

Great Times Two

If you are lucky, you will find a restaurant with either great food or great service. Tonight, I found both!

Gerald was the person behind the counter who took the order. He gave me suggestions based on his favorites. Prior to going Vegan, I loved chicken wings. So, I ordered the Vegan wings. Very tasty with some great sauces. I also ordered the hummus appetizer. Hummus was thick and tasty but the crackers were really good. I broke down and ordered the peanut butter parfait(as a vacation treat). Soooo good. I took most home so I can eat with blackberries. Even better! Also, Alex, the server, was friendly and welcoming from the moment I entered until I left.

I will be in Palm Springs 4 more nights before I return home to Seattle. I am sure to return before I leave. Maybe their returned Reuben or the southern "bisket" muffalletta.

More to come.

Pros: Chicken Wings, Gerald and Alex, Peanut Butter Parfait

Cons: Loud door, none, none

Amazing Customer Service, DO NOT miss the CAFE!

I wrote a more extensive review for the Cafe with is inside and part of the this charming corner healthfood store. I can rave enough about the level of service. You're greeted warmly and prompted offered help finding anything. They have a very nice selection of items and are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about their products. Go here hungry, though and do yourself a favor and give the cafe a spin. They'll work with what ever they've got in the store to make you what ever you want. You'll be amazing at the quality of ingredients and mastery of the cooking. If you are looking for endless and rare products I'd being doing a disservice not to mention Clark's Nutrition which is twice the size of a Whole Foods and seemingly stocks every single item you can ever imagine, however, its not the same. Nature's Health Food is your neighborhood store where you instantly feel welcome and a part of the family.

Pros: the Cafe!, customer is #1

Great Health Food Store w/ Counter Service

I visited this little store while on a cross country trip and was quite surprised at how complete their regular stock of supplements and healthy snacks are! I tried the vegan BLT at the recommendation of another happy cow user and it was GREAT! On another visit, I also tried the chinese fried rice which was ok and a giant burrito wrap of some sort which was very good. Overall I would give this place a 5 rating since it's one of the only healthy places in the area, but I give it a 4 because they're so damn expensive! (Sorry guys). Service was very good too btw.

Pros: healthy snacks, take out food, supplements

Cons: expensive!

Kangan water

I've been in town visiting and going to this place daily, it's great! I did want to switch my mom over from bottled water (she lives here) to kangan alkaline water but boy are they charging an arm and a leg!! when one contracts with Kangan water machines, for one they are not supposed to charge for the water but rather try and sell people the machines! Now I was willing to pay something for the water, but how is this an incentive for people to switch from bottled water?

Pros: friendly staff, good selection at cafe

Cons: kangan prices

Good food here

I got the teriyaki chicken meal and it was very good. It was "chicken" with mixed veggies and a big serving of brown rice. Tasty, and very healthy. They have a menu board on the wall above the kitchen area, but look at a menu to find out what the ingredients are in each item. Of the three vegetarian restaurants I've tried in the Palm Springs area, this one is my favorite.

Having said all that, 1.5 years ago the very same meal was only $7.50 and now it's $9.95. With inflation running at about 2% in the USA, I don't know how they can justify a 33% increase. So the food is excellent, but the value advantage isn't there any more. It's now the same price as the other veggie places in town. You can't get out of here for less than $10.

Pros: Excellent flavors, Location

A Diamond in the Desert

What a great place. What a fantastic menu. Lots of vegan-friendly options and the food all looks and smells so great.

We went shopping there this morning to get some provisions for our room as we're staying on vacation in Palm Springs for the next four days. I was impressed with their collection of raw and pre-packaged foods. I was, however, disappointed in the very low number of organic fruits and veggies available, though I realize that it might just be the day we came. (There were organic Grapefruits but the apples, oranges, bananas weren't organic.)

Still, I had the tofu scramble for breakfast and it was delicious. I tried the date shake and I will DEFINITELY be back over the next few days to have a few more. What a delicious, nutritious treat!

The Coachella valley needs more places like this.

Pros: Great menu, Tastey Food, Friendly staff

Cons: small produce selection

Good for Travelers

Not the best stocked health food store you'll ever find, but good for basics if you're in a pinch while traveling. Food/juice bar inside.

Delicious Food

We may only have a couple of veg places out here, but they are delicious! Love their unturkey sandwich, perfect place to grab a quick lunch and shop in the store. Why isn't the cafe under restaurants?! One of my favorites...

Pros: delicious food, quick, pretty outside seating

Cons: small
