Some vegan options - Edit
Has some vegan options, but not clearly labeled vegan. Mostly some kind of bowl of veggies with rice and optional tofu.

Solid option for a break on Highway 101.

great vegan food! - Edit
not a vegan restaurant, but my go-to when going out to eat with non-vegan friends because of the many options they have. my favorite is the hungry planet burger but the last time i went i tried the new vegan chicken chipotle sandwich and it was amazing as well!

Solid vegan options - Edit
I like the Hungry Planet and Good Karma burgers. Very similar to Nature's Grill in Ventura (I guess they had the same owner back in the day).
Read moreSome dishes may be a bit bland but everything is relatively fresh and healthy (which is maybe why they serve chips and salsa and not fries...) In any case definitely a decent option if you're with omnivores in goleta
Pros: Vegan cheese and vegenaise, Multiple vegan burger options

Love the concept, not so sure about the place... - Edit
Although I have enjoyed stopping by the Nat. Cafe over the years, their service is really all over the board. I always have to check my food before leaving because on multiple occasions they have totally mixed up my order (and their food isn't cheap.), and when I have brought my receipt and food back to be exchanged for what I DID order, the cashiers have given me attitude on a few occasions, whereas on other occasions have been extremely helpful and accommodating. So it really depends on who is helping you- and keep in mind I wasn't confrontational or rude to them, I understand that it's not their fault and the kitchen can get things a bit mixed up in a rush...I just don't want to be paying $9 for a baked potato and steamed veggies that I never even receive! haha! Any way, the food is pretty good, the concept and atmosphere of the place is way fun! The service is totally hit or miss, though.
Read morePros: Atmosphere, concept of local/"natural" foods, Good assortment of veg. menu items
Cons: Poor service, "Ok" food, Overpriced potatoes (LOL!)

Great Vegan Food - Edit
Great Vegan Food. The glasses taste like soap and there are always bubbles in the water, they don't rinse the glasses enough. The food is excellent though, I always eat here :)
