Oh my god! This place is so amazing- loved the vibe here :) Debbie helped us out with what to order - she was so helpful and friendly. We had the smoked pasta salad, Southern BBQ Burger and chai ( you gotta try it- tastes just like home , minus the milk  ) I hope Chef Tanya will consider opening at the Bay Area or have some classes. Food was A-mazing! A must visit if you are at the desert area  Thank you Chef Tanya, Debbie and team for the wonderful yummy meal! More...

Had the Coachella Forever salad and the agua fresca of the day. Delicious and filling. I live in San Diego and just looked up healthy food on yelp for Palm Springs. This place had good reviews, I took a shot, I was not disappointed. Friendly service. Lots of cute books to peruse while you eat. I regret not buying something sweet for the road. I will definitely revisit this place when I visit to Palm Springs! PS I've been jonesing for that salad since I had it about three weeks ago. Can I grub hub this to San Diego More...

YES. The very best vegan restaurant/food source in Palm Springs, and perhaps all of Southern California.My wife and I were in town for a conference and we checked Yelp for viable vegan options in the area. I was surprised that there weren't very many -- mostly "vegetarian" places that use cheese, butter, and eggs, which aren't our thing.On our last day in town, we stopped by Chef Tanya's Kitchen at about 4:30pm for dinner. As it turned out, the small seating area was already pretty full. We did find some space to sit along the wall.I ordered Tanya's Lasagne & Caesar Combo and a small side of the mac and cheese to share with my wife -- both were amazing. Super tasty and there's no way you could tell that this was vegan. My wife had the Moroccan Roasted Cauliflower salad which she loved.Portions were generous and the food was top notch. We ended up buying three different bottles of Chef Tanya's vegan salad dressing and more mac and cheese to take back home to San Diego with us.Please Chef Tanya -- ditch that hot old Palm Springs and move to the cool San Diego coast. We need you here.An easy 5 stars. More...

As a local, this is one of my MOST favourite Vegan restaurants in Palm Springs. EVERYTHING on the menu is a culinary dream come true. The vegan lemon cake is heavenly! This establishment is such a blessing and delight for our vegan community.  :) More...

This is a true gem in the greater Palm Springs area. Completely vegan place with lots of options and even some daily specials that change. I was merely passing through this area on a LA to Phoenix road trip. I stopped by for lunch and ordered the pastrami mami and chicken Chupacabra. Both were great sandwiches. I believe the proteins here are handmade as I haven't seen them anywhere else before. They also sell their proteins so you can make your own sandwich or whatever you like. If I had to pick one, I would suggest the pastrami mami. I was so amazed by this place that when I was heading back to LA from Phoenix, I stopped here for dinner. This time I got the special of the day which was a meatloaf and tempeh power burger. Both were equally just amazing! You have to try this place out if you are in the area or just driving through!

I had the power burger and smoked chicken pasta. Both were amazing!!  Very fresh with loads of great flavors. Very friendly staff too. I can't wait for my next visit.  I'm so glad I live about 4 minutes away.  Seating is very limited so takeout is best. More...

I was so surprised to see on the menu that Chef Tanya was the one who started Native Foods in the past.  I honestly felt like I was in the presence of a celebrity.  On a road trip, we stopped by Palm Springs and chose to get a Pastrami Mami and a Chupacabra Chicken sandwich for lunch.  Yelp check in for a free daily aqua fresca!  Chef Tanya makes her own seitan which is the "chicken" in the sandwich.  I thought it was a bit dry but that is only personal preference.  The sandwich itself was outstanding and my partner loved it.  My favorite was the Pastrami Mami because of the house-made sauerkraut.  It was a moist sandwich and super flavorful.  There was a watermelon agua fresca for lunch and it was refreshing.  It's not too sweet.  On the way back from our road trip..we had to stop by again.  Seriously, this place is THAT good.  After 4 pm, there are bbq rib bowls, lasagna + Caesar salad, and a daily bowl available.  The daily special was a lentil meatloaf on a bed of mashed potatoes.  I had never had a vegan meatloaf before, and it was very hearty and delicious.  The aqua fresca that day was a lime and pomegranate one which I liked better.  I love that tart!  Chef Tanya was there that night and she was super friendly.  There are sides available in the fridge and vegan desserts.  You can also try and buy a "crack" cheese made from cashews!  It is a small cafe but there is probably room to seat less than 10 people.

GREAT!! I'm not vegan but we decided to try - so glad we did. This was one of the best meals I've EVER had. Low-key, funky and in an off-the-beaten path neighborhood, this was an absolute diamond of a find. The Tu-"No" was surprisingly like tuna! The highlight of our trip was eating at this wonderful hole in the wall. Kudos to Chef Tanya and her formidable crew!! More...

The food, the food, the food! We went to Palm Springs for 5 days and tried CTK on the second day. Her lasagna is, by far, the very best I've ever had! We liked it so much that we proceeded to eat there every day for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend the lasagna, Caesar salad, Tuno on rye, Modern Hippie Veggie, peanut butter cup parfait and the apple cobbler. We even bought some food to take home with us! Note that this is a small restaurant with only a few tables and the majority of their business is takeout. More...

I am a regular at Chef Tanya's so I can speak to the consistency of the quality of her food, and having had many items on her menu I can also speak to how wonderful everything is. I often bring a guest or relative with me, my sister had the BLT with Avocado and swooned it was so delish. My fav's are the Oh My Gato Taco Salad, the Tuno or Eggy on Rye, the potato salad and the mac and cheesy. Her bread is to die for.

This is one of my favorite cafes ever! Chef Tanya makes delicious food that everyone can enjoy. I have friends who are not vegan and they LOVE her food. Chef Tanya is a breath of fresh air and her personality warms my heart. I've had the privilege of attending a camping event where she taught us how to make so many dishes on a campfire. Her staff is so kind! I will continually refer friends and family to her kitchen and I wish this establishment all the best in the years to come!

After a long, hungry day hiking around the mountains at the top of the Aerial Tramway, I have to admit I was looking for something different than Vegan. ... and not that I don't enjoy a good vegan meal; it's just that my "slake and sate" nerve centers were looking for something a little more sinewy than quinoa, chick peas, and bad food puns (like "Not"Cho' Cheese *yawn*).But sometimes in life, one is reminded that sacrifice is the language of love, and my bride of nearly 16 years came to Palm Springs to celebrate a birthday.  She wanted a veggie dinner, and by (guar) gum, she'd get it.Despite any number of veggie and vegan joints near the downtown area, we spotted Tanya's on Yelp, and went for it.  Palm Springs isn't my town, but despite the airport sorta' breaking up the grid, it's pretty easy to find your way around.Just south of the airport, we made the last few turns to Tanya's and found ourselves... on a dark, warehousy-looking street.  Uh oh, is this it?  The storefront was lighted and the door was open, so we parked the Jeep and headed inside.Boy, I'm glad we did! Sure, I've killed and grilled my share of finned, feathered, and furred things during my life--in defiance of the vegan stickers on the counter, mind you-- but I really do enjoy fresh vegetables, legumes, and grains.  We probably ordered too much food:  I got the Coachella Salad, an order of cauliflower, two orders of Slayer Slaw; Mrs. Picante ordered a hippie sandwich, a side of Tu'No pasta salad, and a big peanut butter cookie.Dude.Everything was delicious-- the emulsion of oil, lemon, and ginger in my salad dressing could have been served as a beverage (ok, not really, but it was delicious.)The sides were fresh and tasty, nothing overbearing in the flavors; just balance and freshness and good vibes.  Mrs. enjoyed her food immensely as well.  The experience was made even better by the nice young lady working behind the register who was very helpful and patient with a big meat-eating Neanderthal like me.  My path to elucidation May be full of twists and turns (and stops at In N Out), but I will most certainly visit this little out-of-the-way Vegan restaurant again.  I'm a fan.
