Vegan food from the heart - Edit
It is not only the delicious and nourishing food that makes this place so special. Tanya’s food is prepared from heart. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Tanya herself a gem and professional in what she does. My husband and I are coming every Saturday for lunch to enjoy a “pastrami mami “ and the community. Luckily a few chairs and tables are now available to enjoy the food at the shop. Chef Tanya’s is an experience that should not be missed.

One of the best I've been to! - Edit
I'm vegan pilot, so while I'm flying to a bunch of different cities every day, I try to find the best vegan restaurants. This was such a small, cozy, out-of-the-way place, I wasn't sure what to expect, except that it had great reviews. Well, I can tell you that this is been one of the best places I've been to. Everyone was super nice and inviting. Telling me all about the menu and how it's made in house, answering all my questions all while using my first name. I ended up getting the pastrami sandwich and the burrito to go. Oh and I also got a vegan donut that they brought in grom another local vegan shop, it was delicious! Everything was delicious! Whenever I'm back in this city I will definitely be back to eat here. I only wish they had a little better seating arrangements. Not really a sitdown resturant, more like a grab and go.
Read morePros: very good food, fresh, inviting, everything vegan
Cons: I just wish it had a better seating arrangement

Amazing! Incredible people! - Edit
The staff here greets everyone by name. When I came in I was so hungry and couldn’t decide what to get. Tanya said take a seat and I’ll bring you something. I got the Cuban, side salad, agua Fresca and lemon cake. They have hands down the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. Pricing is good for the portion sizes and you will leave full, invigorated, and smiling. Wish I had one of these in every town!

5 Stars Are Not Enough - Edit
We had dinner at Chef Tanya’s Kitchen today (they’re open until 8:00 on Wednesday). I wish we lived closer to Palm Springs so we can come back again and again. We’ll have to settle for occasional return visits. The sandwiches were FANTASTIC!!! The staff was as friendly and helpful as one can hope for. This is DEFINIETLY a place to come back to.

FAV Vegan place outside of LA!! - Edit
I am obsessed with Chef Tanya's. Every time I go in there, I feel so happy. The staff is so sweet every time and Chef Tanya herself is such a cool, interesting woman! But let's get to the food. OMG. Every single thing on that menu is perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. I crave her food constantly when I'm not in the area. My favorite things are her Coachella Salad, her Moroccan Roasted Cauliflower, Tu-No Salad, and pretty much all of her specials. I love this place and everything it stands for. HIDDEN GEM!
Read morePros: Excellent, homemade vegan food, Daily specials that are ALWAYS good, Cool vibe

Yummy vegan place near the airport - Edit
So glad I found this place! It’s a Small cafe in a low-rise building near the airport. My salad was delicious. Several pre-made side salads and desserts are in the cold case. A steady stream of repeat customers came through while I was there.

Gem in the desert - Edit
Super fresh and delicious food, and the people there were so friendly! I really like how they had vegan takes on regular food like egg salad, macaroni salad, caprese sandwich, etc. It was very satisfying and filling, perfect to grab some lunch here.

great for pick up - Edit
Surprisingly delicious food. Very accommodating, even for gluten free diners (in a place that's basically a gluten-filled seitan factory!). Especially memorable is the caesar salad.

great food! - Edit
Had the grinder, it was good, very filling too. It was a little expensive being almost $10 also got a lemon cake, it was pretty good, kinda heavy. Also had the smokey pasta the macorony salad, both really good. And they were about $5 each which seems reasonable. I will definitely be back to try more things! Many options on menu

Happy discovery - Edit
This is food created by the one and only Tanya Petrovna, the founder of Native Foods. Her new Chef Tanya's restaurant makes us wish we could move to Palm Springs. We had lunch there 2 days ago, and are still fondly remembering the large, overstuffed scrumptious sandwiches and warm, friendly atmosphere. Order prep takes a while, but it's well worth the wait. I don't know how she manages to take ordinary ingredients and magic them into such memorable bites.

Best Vegan in Palm Springs - Edit
My Killer Caprese was so good as was the BLT and potato salad. I'm so jealous of the regulars who kept coming in and out as we are just passing through town. It is truly your anytown deli but vegan. The staff was so friendly and the assortment of goods in the store was impressive. I heard someone say they will be doing mail delivery soon. When I come to Palm Springs again, this is where you'll find me.

Delicious - Edit
On a weekend trip to Palm Springs, our first stop was to Chef Tanya's for lunch. I've been patiently waiting for Tanya to open her own place again and none of us were disappointed. We shared the Cubano, pastrami and chicken sandwiches. So yummy. We also shared the chocolate cake for dessert. So moist. The hibiscus drink was refreshing too. I got a bunch of the VioLife cheeses to go as I've only had them in Europe before. There's lots of other to-go items as well from salads to homemade vegan meats and desserts. I hope she'll open in LA someday as it's all so delicious. She and her staff are all so welcoming and friendly too. Go now!

Wow, just wow! - Edit
Thanks to a new listing on Happy Cow, we were thrilled to discover Chef Tanya's new vegan eatery yesterday, tucked away in a cool industrial area at the end of East Sunny Dunes Road. What a sweet spot! I am a sucker for vegan BLTs and Chef Tanya's version (with to-die-for tofu "bacon" and avocado) was first-rate. It was a daily special and I highly recommend putting it on the regular menu! Don't miss Tanya's Mediterranean chop salad with scrumptious pops of flavor from currants, green olives and slivers of date. My partner raved about his Cubano sandwich and we both enjoyed the refreshing watermelon-lemonade-mint agua fresca and succulent apple-blueberry crumble. It was such a pleasure to meet Chef Tanya in person after years of admiring her from afar. She and her staff are friendly and welcoming. We just moved to Palm Springs and will definitely be regulars at Chef Tanya's Kitchen! P.S. The cafe is open until 8 pm on Wednesdays and will feature a special dinner entree.
