i don't usually eat at vegan restaurants, but this place was delicious! i had pad thai with tofu and it was extremely tasty! my friend had the coconut avocado wrap, and it was to die for! the slices of avocado are breaded with coconut and fried, and the wrap is filled with veggies and a delicious tangy dressing. you'll love it! thefreshjuices are super tasty and quenching, too! i loved the watermelon one, but i tasted the lavender lemonade and it was yummy, too! i'd give it 5 stars but it's a little pricey considering there's no meat!

visited here last week with my granddaughters. very friendly staff and extraordinary menu for not only vegans but those with gluten intolerance. large portions and all veryfreshand well prepared. i enjoyed my take out even the next day. definitely on my be back list now.

folks this place is delicious!! my wife and i have been twice so far. the first time we had no idea it was vegan. we are not vegan but this place might make us reconsider! it is allfreshfood and original recipes made in house! the staff is friendly and makes you feel welcome. this place is no joke. as they explain the ingredients used in the dishes it makes you feel as if you are at a high end restaurant. the price is right folks! inexpensive! delicious! healthy!

it's official... i like this food!. after bricking my wife's iphone a trip to bridgeport was in order (apple store). while walking past native foods i mentioned it was really quite good "for a veg-head" place.
i ate those words... it's not just a vegan place, it is a great cafe... period! i can heartily recommend the blackened "native chicken" twister wrap, the side of their excellent lemon-dill potato salad and a side of the polenta/fire roasted corn app... wow. so flavorful,freshand tasty! again, this omnivore recommends this place... it's just plain great food, regardless of your "head"!!

eh.... i am a dyed in the wool omnivore so this place would not normally be on my list for lunch... but when a good friend who is vegan says 'you must try it'...
the food is very tasty. seitan is not meat nor does it simulate meat. but it tastes good! the highlights were the perfectly ripe avacado on the sandwich and in the salad and the agave watermelon juice.
the place is immaculately clean, staffed with extremely helpful and friendly staff and truly an interesting change of pace for the omnivore.

love it. reallyfreshand healthy ingredients, interesting menu items..wish we lived in culver city just so we could go here every week!
