The Natural Cafe

Thanks to Chloè the girl who helped me ordered my lunch when I visited the first time. An Ono fish taco. I luv this place and will come to visit again.
Many thanks

This is great place to have real food not processed frozen stuff. Have great range of options in their menu. I usually have the fish tacos. The serving size is liberal. The place has a nice So Cal ambience with indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend this place for real and healthy food.

3.5 stars for me. I guess I’m not a huge natural lover after all. Came here for lunch today. I really have no complaints about the food or the service, but to me, this place is slightly overpriced for the quantity, and the taste is just a little above average. Nothing special by any means, just a slightly above average restaurant with a so-​so variety of foods on their menu.
Granted, I ordered the natural marinara, which was basic pasta noodles with marinara sauce, but I don’t think a meal like that should cost $ 10.50 unless it’s truly exceptional, or the quantity is big.
Parking is abundant, so no problems there. Though a pretty chill spot to relax, with a nice outdoor patio perfect for enjoying good weather, I don’t think that this place really stands out to me, aside from being a healthy «natural» alternative. I may or may not be back.

Great patio area — a bit slow but good quality. Please increase gluten free selections and allergy awareness!

Good for casual breakfast or lunch, big selection of delicious healthy food. Eggplant sandwich were awesome. Other food is also yummy.

Been there twice now and it’s VERY GOOD. And very reasonably priced for the quality of food. Had stir fried veggies with chicken — moist, flavorful and large portions. Turkey burger was equally delicious. Picky wifey had flatbread crust pesto pizza with artichoke and chicken — she also proclaimed it very good and wants to repeat visits. Convenient, since it avoids yet another two hours in the kitchen. Parking is right outside. Recommended!

I ABSOLUTELY love this place, they never let me down! Karma Burger with extra garlic mayo is Addictive!

I love natty café. It’s one of the few places in Westlake that has excellent food. The line can be pretty long during lunch, so be sure to beat the rush. It is a pay first, take a number, and get the food brought to your table style café. I have only had the Chicken Ceasar salad, which is a wonderful, large yummy salad (and with avocado!) I will definitely have to come by again to try other things on the menu.

Natural Café is certainly reliable. I like the simple turkey sandwich or the old town salad with chicken ranchero added. The chicken ranchero tacos are really good too. I appreciate the water and lemon available at the station, along with everything else. The people who work here are generally kind as well.
I don’t have any complaints!

I have been coming to Natural Café for awhile now but finally comes the review… lol
The menu is vast but can also be a bit of a mixed bag. Our good old standbye items are the Old Town Salad with grilled chicken and mix all 3 dressings very good and really nice bold flavors.
The Baja or Buddah burrito with chicken also very good and HUGE seriously takes up a full plate smothered in Ranchero sauce. No way this is health food well the tortilla was whole wheat -:)
The Teriyaki chicken sandwich big flavors.
Some of the other menu items can be on the bland side so choose wisely and lean towards the Mediterranean and Mexican dishes which tend to be the most flavorful.
Newly remodeled patio and outside dining area is truly great and really makes it a fun and enjoyable way to enhance the ambiance.
Parking can be an issue with all the new stores but really worth it as a wealth of retail and restaurants have been added to make it more inviting.
Service is friendly and eager but usally young and not that well versed but eager with a smile at the ready helps to mitigate any missteps.
The crowd is typical well heeled Westlake, North Ranch and Sherwood mom’s and kids, along with local business professionals. Lunchtime is packed with said Lulu wearing locals eating healthy in order to squeeze into there sexy workout attire and there Range rovers -:)
With that in mind the food 3 stars the sexy Lulu wearing mom’s and newly appointed outdoor dining area 1 star for a total of 4 stars… lol

I like this place, and their soups are good… but it’s incredibly overpriced.
I had their «Mr. Natural», which is brown rice and steamed veggies. That’s it– no chicken or other protein… it was $ 9.99. I still can’t believe they charged that much for such a small portion. It should have definitely come with chicken (I assumed it did, actually, that’s why I didn’t order it separately). I just think this item should have been $ 4.99. I feel gypped. Nice staff, though.

This place has decent food. I called for a take out order and got placed on hold for almost 10 minutes. I called back and then got hung up on. I called for a third time amd finally was able
To place my order. I walked in. Poor service.

I went here with a friend — SUPER hard to find! But that might have been Siri’s fault. It kept taking us in circle’s. I finally called the place (they were super nice) and ended up just parking and wandering around till we found it. (The shopping center is currently under construction.)
I got a falafel pita, my friend got the veggie sandwich — both came with chips and salsa. I’m not a huge falafel fan so I can’t really judge my own meal! I ended up pulling out the falafel and eating the rest — totally my bad, I just want to like falafel so bad and I can’t get down with it.
My friend’s veggie sandwich looked bomb. Tons of sprouts and probably an entire avocado — she ended up pulling half of it out so I ate it with my pita. Yum!

The sloppy Janes (turkey sloppy Joes) are the Friday special and are amazing! The chicken teriyaki sandwich is also a winner! Prices are fair the outside seating is cute. Great for lunch. Every soup I have tried here has also been amazing. The cornbread muffins are dry even though the look amazing!

This place is good except for the fact that it Needs more vegan and raw options for being «natural» and definitely need vegan cheese. Come on., even pizza places have vegan cheese.

For it’s type of place, it’s really terrific. In my teens, my father owned a healthy food restaurant, and I helped to build it from the ground up. We did a great job (I think), but didn’t make it successfully… and closed after 3 years or so. In our dreams, we would have liked to be as good and successful as The Natural Café appears to be.
Love the menu and all priced nicely between $ 8 – 12. Healthy and quality ingredients, they don’t chince or skimp anywhere. The portions are large.
1. Buddah Burrito with chicken, awesome.
2. Zen Burger, OMG.
3. I can’t help to order the Veggie Stirfry ($ 9.79) with Tofu nearly everytime. Add $ 1.80 for best ^%$# darn tofu ever!
Bottom line, if you can’t tell, I like.

This location is small inside with a nice side patio. It’s my least favorite in the chain that I’ve tried, but they make up for it with super sweet and responsive service.

The only thing bad about this place is the parking lot, parking is near impossible ! I’ve even been crashed into in this parking lot :/.
Other then that, natural café is so delish! I love the teriyaki chicken sandwich, Cesar salad and the enchiladas! Too die for :)

By far the sexiest Natural Café I’ve come across! It’s cozily situated right next to the newly opened and blazing hot Mendocino Farms of Westlake Village with plenty of parking space. There’s a gorgeous water fountain/​sitting area gracing the storefront as well as an outdoor patio – heaters and all – for those who like to dine outside.
As far as the food goes, the portion sizes and taste are consistent with those served in the Moorpark and Simi Valley stores. I often order their large $ 4 veggie juice (beets, celery, carrots), which is actually adored by my taste buds, when I’m looking to relax and read a book. Beats spending $ 5 on a latte!
Im a big fan of their Buddha burrito (~$ 10). It’s BIG, and by big, I’m talking MASSIVE. Chock-​stuffed with an assortment of grilled veggies, pinto beans, and brown rice galore, drenched in their tomato ranchero sauce, served with dollops of guacamole, sour cream, a pile of fresh salsa, and a handful of cheddar cheese (which I usually forgo). I ask for extra veggies and they almost always happily oblige, exacerbating it’s already bulbous, but beautiful, state.
Comes with a side salad and your choice of dressing (I recommend the lemon herb).
4 stars for the fast and friendly service, pretty interior (and exterior), and the portion sizes (of the juice and Buddha burrito, at least!)

Your sweet friendly, helpful server earned you the two stars tonight. She was incredible. Your menus have become tattered and torn. The food presentation hasn’t changed, however the taste was lost. The vegan Moroccan soup was watery and bland, bland, bland. The Zen burger was tasteless, thank goodness you offer ketchup and mustard. The turkey burger was salty and over cooked.
Here’s the scoop. There are several new restaurants that have just opened in the same plaza. Natural Café, if you wanna survive, you better up your game!
I’ll give you one more chance, since your server was SO kind. Hope you get it together or our relationship is over.

Having recently dined at Jinky’s only to have store bought dressing and preservatives dumped on my food (that caused me a bad reaction), it was a welcome relief to come to a restaurant that IS healthy and IS what I would call «clean» food. A welcome relief.
The menu is limited, but then, I am perfectly happy eating a salad (but they have more than salads)…for lunch… for dinner, I don’t mind. They pretty much cover all the bases, food groups. It’s tasty, and it’s healthy. I keep saying that, but it’s important to me.
I ordered the East Beach Salad and ordered grilled chicken to be added. I LOVED the marinade on the chicken. Really flavorful. The salad had a bunch of grilled veggies, which is essentially what the salad was… and add in the tomatoes, lettuce, cucumber and jicama. It came with a lemon vinaigrette, and it was delicious. I really enjoyed it. My hubby got their chicken stir fry, and he was very happy with his selection, as well.
They have a nice assortment of desserts in a display case where you walk up and order. We didn’t get any dessert, but they definitely look good. Everything is pretty much do-​it-​yourself like at a fast food restaurant, but they will deliver the food to your table. I’m fine with that. I’m far more interested in getting some good food… and that I did.
