Fun place, good food

Had a special with chupacabra tacos and pozole and agua fresco. Tacos were great, pozole could have been a bit better, hard to eat with flat spoon, but all in all really good.

Overpriced

Had an Asian salad, hubby had the Cuban sandwich and we shared an eggie salad. Everything was good, but not exceptional. We have had much better for less $$. I don’t understand why some vegan food items have to be so expensive, when we know that when we use the same ingredients at home it’s less than half of the cost/their price.

My guess is the overhead and labor cost. 1500 a month in rent means they gotta make money somehow to be open.

Wowwwwwwww

This place is incredible. We had the best sandwiches here, the food is so bomb. They also have the cutest little shop with lots of vegan items for sale—shirts, mugs, stickers, pins, home goods, specialty food items. I wish we could visit again! Probably the best vegan food in Palm Springs!

Super yummy!

We went in-person or ordered in three times over our four days in Palm Springs. We tried four sandwiches and found the Chupacabra Chick’n and Bahn Mi & You to be our favorites. The potato salad is very tasty and we ordered it every day. Learning Chef Tanya's culinary advancements for vegan food was a huge bonus of visiting here.

Can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely love this place! I brought my non vegan friend with me and she enjoyed everything as well. I got the Bahn Mi and the potato salad. I absolutely love a classic potato salad anywhere I go, if they have it, I must try! She got the chili burger and we shared the sriracha panini, added a chili, and we took a crumble back to our hotel!

Pros: Lots of options , easy parking

I had the privilege to meet Tanya the lovely and passionne chef who explained how the homemade Tempeh was made! I had the Caprese tempeh burger a side of spiced fries and an Haboob chocolate peanut butter with cookie crumble! Ouf! Everything was just delicious and tasty! The staff was really friendly too! I highly recommend💚

Classic Vegan Food

The best way I can describe this place is by saying that this is what I expected Vegan food to taste like before it became ultra processed, popular and everywhere.

Food was delicious, and felt clean and light. Left feeling full, but not in a heavy weighed down way.

I know this is a weird description 😂

Staff was nice, and the place was clean inside. Would 100% come here again

Good.

After reading the reviews here, my expectations were really high. I ordered the Sunday Special, which sounded amazing when I read its description. But, in reality, it was just an okay burrito. I wouldn't order that option again. The place itself is beautiful and welcoming, and the staff was nice and efficient.

Blown away


Blown away by this oasis, Vegan heaven. A small little grocery store with a savory menu wraps and sandwiches and salads. Tempe hamburgers. All vegan grocery items and great crackers and cheeses. Like I said, Vegan heaven!!

Chupacabra, yes please!

Chef Tanya is the Queen of the Desert! You can't go wrong with the Chupacabra or El Cubano, but really everything on the menu is outstanding. One of my favorite lunch spots!

A must try

Chef Tanya’s is such a great spot with a fully vegan menu. I loved the chicken Cesar salad and the red velvet cupcake. Everything was so tasty and fresh. They had a huge selection of vegan cheeses you can buy to bring home. It is also super close to the airport so next time I fly to Palm Springs it will be my first stop!

Always a stop every time I’m in PS

Love this place. Their tempeh is the best. Just tried their French dip special and it was amazing. Love their little shop where you can get to-go items and pantry staples. Really a Palm Springs hidden gem.

Pros: French dip, Vegan cheese selection , Tempeh burgers are delicious!

Cons: Order and dine in are in 2 different buildings , Didn’t love their bahn mi , A drive away from the main drag of PS

A must go

If you are in the Coachella Valley you must go by! When we were in the area we visited twice and both times it was really good. I tried the Bahn Mi & You and the El Cubano. Both were really tasty. I especially enjoyed the El Cubano as it is unusual to find a vegan version. Everything looked so good!

Pros: Friendly, Great food, Cute outdoor seating

Cons: Wish there were more locations

Great sandwiches

Some of the best sandwiches. Way better than ikes.

Update: The sandwiches are great. I had the chili burger and it was just okay. The Guadalajara burger was just okay too. I alos had the PB parfait. It has a lot of PB and really thick but a funny after taste. The egg salad was really eggy but just so so.

Delightful!!

First time eating here and this is what food is supposed to be like when dining out. Delicious, flavorful, fresh, unique. The BLTA is the best sandwich we’ve had in a long time. The parfaits are so good we wanted to buy them all to eat later.

Also great atmosphere and decor. We’ll stop here 100% of the time we go anywhere near Palm Desert

Pros: Taste, Atmosphere, Variety

Artisan Cheese!

Excited to find Austin, TX based Rebel artisan cheese!!! The Smoked Cheddar is one of my favorites. We also bought the Truffle Chèvre and enjoyed the mild flavored cheese with hint of truffle.
I wasn’t a fan of the cupcakes. We had choc/choc and red velvet. I think I prefer a thicker consistency icing.
The peanut butter cup parfait was delicious. Light but good amount of PB flavor.
The El Cubano was tangy and satisfying.

Pros: Made to order and prepared available, Artisan cheeses! , The staff

Amazing house made goodness

Loved everything we tried, especially house made seitan and cashew cheese. Wonderful servers and they let us try samples of things we were considering buying from their mini store. Great vibe and they support anomal adoption drives. Everything is awesome!!

Great Vegan in Palm Springs

Had lunch at Tanya's, it was a great experience. Food was excellent, service and employees were great. The Palm springs location has very limited seating. I had the caprese power burger, which was fantastic. Hubby had soup. There's lots of variety on the menu for vegans. This place is a must if you're visiting Palm springs. They also have a location in desert palms, but we did not go there. I'm betting it's as good as Palm springs #Veganuary
